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.

I’m a fan
I just went through a mystery internal bleed situation and ended up admitted to Tennova in Cleveland TN and spent a good bit of time there with Dr. Buchner, who performed an endoscopy on Saturday—which through no fault of his found nothing. Monday’s colonoscopy, however, found the source of the bleeding. Through both procedures, I found Dr. Buchner to be caring, competent, and highly approachable. He obviously cares about his patients, even appearing in my hospital room on Sunday to check upon me and schedule the colonoscopy. Needless to say, I’m not bleeding any more and I would heartily recommend this physician.

Dr. Buchner is rude and arrogant. After my procedure, he told me some unexpected news and when I tried to ask him a question regarding this unexpected and somewhat alarming news, he abruptly interrupted me saying he had other patients and walked out.

Dr. Buchner and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Other doctors rudely rush you through their office without listening to your concerns or fully discussing treatment. Dr. Buchner does not do this and is honestly the best doctor that I have ever been to. He patiently takes the time to listen and discuss your best course of treatment. Yes, it takes a little longer, but it is worth it to receive the best medical care. I honestly can’t say enough nice things about Dr. Buchner and his staff. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!

I have been going to this office for many years now and have had a few procedures done. The staff is very friendly. Dr. B and his NP Shelia are always nice to me and answer all of my questions. I've never had a long wait there either, usually in and out in less than an hour.

I have had no problems with Dr. B. He is kind and caring, and he takes all the time needed to address my questions. For this reason, I don't mind the wait time.
