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 have already recommended Dr. Buhler to several .
Dr. Buhler is a patient physician who takes the time to listen and also explain exactly what he recommends for your healthcare options.

Great experience!
Dr. Buhler is welcoming, extremely knowledgeable, and inspires optimism. He explained my problem well, and my options. He had a reasonable plan that provided relief without jumping into extreme steps. As an older person, I appreciated that he wasn’t condescending and didn’t dismiss my complaints as being an age problem. I highly recommend.

Excellent doctor!
I have been a patient of Dr. Buhler’s for several years now, and I would recommend him to anyone. He is down to earth, approachable, and truly cares about his patients. He remembers details about my family, even if I haven’t seen him in some time. He will not rush you through an appointment.

Excellent care
Dr Buhler is kind, compassionate, and reliable. He has taken excellent care of me and my family and I would recommend him to anyone seeking orthopedic care. With a house full of young athletes we expect to rely on him to keep everyone on the mend from injuries that inevitably arise. His office staff was kind and helpful. The scheduling process was easy.Highly recommend Dr Buhler!
