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.

He was fine until I brought up a skin infection I had seen him for a year ago that didn’t go away. Instead of working with me to find a solution, he ridiculed me and gave me an anti-itch lotion.

I will recommend Dr. Buxton to anyone who needs a dermatologist! He was great--very personable, took all my questions seriously and gave understandable explanations. The office staff and medical assistant were all very professional and pleasant--I can't say enough about what a positive experience it was. And I waited less than 5 minutes to get in! You can't beat that!

I have gone to Dr. Buxton for years. I have no problem getting in to see him. He is easy to talk to and most importantly, he knows what he is doing.

He might be a good doctor technically but is very rude to patients family members. I was not even acknowledged by the doctor and did not even speak to me after he was done removing tissue from a malignant mole. My husband may not be his love of his life but her certainly is mine and I deserve to be told what he did and what to expect.

This guy is a creep. Most likely the only reason why he's still able to practice in Lawrence is because there aren't many dermatology practices in town. I found his mannerisms to be otherwise fairly mild but on more than one occasion, he walked into the exam room without knocking WHILE I was changing out of my clothes and into my gown. NOPE. That is such a basic best practice in the medical field that I have to conclude that he doesn't care about his patients' sense of privacy or dignity.

BAD. If you want nothing but hassle, a doctor who's staff is rude and don't care that they don't take care of the tasks they are paid to take care of, then I guess this is your place. Would never recommend to my family or friends.

After waiting months for an appointment, the doctor was rude and condescending. He talked to me as if I was stupid when I am a person with a master's degree. He had no interest in finding out what was wrong with my skin and prejudged me without even doing any testing to try to determine the cause of the problems. My skin is in actual pain and I have no answers and have received no help. I would not only not recommend this provider, but would advise people who need actual help and want a doctor

I have seen Dr. Buxton for several conditions, he has done multiple skin checks on me and has seen my children for conditions as well. He has a very friendly staff, is able to get me in quickly and is a friendly doctor. He is thorough and takes him time.

Dr. Buxton treated me very good. But I am so sorry that the girl who take my appointment was so rude. Also when I called in to make my payment, once again she was the girl who answered me. She did not even had a greeting word. Unprofessionally and bad attitude: " Want to pay your bill?" " Name?" " DOB?" " Credit card number?" " Amount?" That was all what she had move her mouth to talk with client.

I saw Dr. Buxton for the first time last week to find a cure for a chronic skin allergy/rash that I have been dealing with for years. The nurse seemed uninterested in any details about the history of my condition. Dr. Buxton came in and diagnosed me with something before even looking at my rash. He mocked me and raised his voice when I asked for more details about the diagnosis, then he handed me a brochure to read, and then he said I don't know what to tell you about finding a treatment. BAD!

I have only been to Dr. Buxton once but was very pleased and impressed with his approach and thoroughness to my issues. I will definitely continue going to him for all my dermatological problems.
