Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best
Dr. Buse may be the best physician I've ever seen. He listens and genuinely seems concerned about his patients. He is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He and his office staff make sure all labs and tests are ordered and respond to calls and messages promptly. Highly recommend Dr. Buse.

Dr. Buse was my doctor in the hospital before I had surgery. He gave me confidence that I was receiving the right treatment and that the surgery would be successful. I appreciated his expertise and his pleasant bedside manner. He gave the direction that was needed, and I am grateful.

I first started getting colonoscopies fifteen years ago. Dr. Buse has continually improved the prep to be faster and less unpleasant. The procedure itself is a breeze. He uses a type of anesthesiology that puts you out for the duration of the procedure, but leaves you awake and alert as soon as you are finished; no fogginess afterward!

Being a physician myself tends to lead to more critical evaluations of fellow physicians. Dr Buse is an outstanding clinician who has my trust. For patients you could not ask for more. Highly recommended.
