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.

Waste of time.
Long story short, newborn with broken collarbone. We drive 1 and a half hours one way just to get to this office, they’re nearly 30 mins late getting us back, get back to the X-Ray tech and I guess she decided that doing her job correctly and with proper communication was too hard. Me and my husband wrangled our newborn still and she snapped two x rays and didn’t say a word more. We get back to Buckley’s office and he basically says I can’t read the x rays and I can’t take more (understandable). He goes on to say I don’t know but if it isn’t hurting the baby then you’re good come back in 2 months. …. Yes … a nearly 4 hour drive total (yay Huntsville traffic) with a week old baby to be told “I don’t know” I trust Buckley is probably a knowledgable and experienced doctor, but, our visit to his office at the orthopedic center was disappointing and a complete waste of time. Seems like new X-ray techs are needed. We will not be back.

Excellent and Straightforward
Excellent clinic and staff in the Pediatric division. Dr. Buckley was quick and straightforward. We were sent for a second opinion, and he wasted no time confirming what we thought it was.

Dr. Buckley was kind and gentle with our daughter. He took time with her and listened. Those are such important traits in a healthcare provider. We very much appreciate him and his practice.

Dr. Buckley just didn't walk in the room, half listen, and walk out. He takes time with patients to make sure he understands what's going on and correctly address the issue.

Alleviated concerns with compassion and facts
We’d been referred related to our pediatrician’s finding a slight curve in our child’s spine. The word scoliosis loomed a little large in our minds, but Dr. Buckley did an excellent job explaining the situation in terms we could all understand in a very practical, comforting way. Would highly recommend.

Sound Diagnosis and Recommendation
Dr. Buckley, calmly and thoroughly checked out our son’s condition, explained what the X-rays showed, answered our questions and gave us the facts… Our son had passed the age/maturity for the simple corrective surgery (growth plate was complete) and due to the remaining surgery option being a major surgery with potential complications, his advice was to wait and see if his condition became painful before considering surgery. Obviously, he was looking out for the good of the patient, and not trying to “sell a surgery.” We feel informed and empowered to handle this well as we are better informed and received sound advice. Thank you, Dr. Buckley! Excellent visit!

Dr. Buckley was very concerned and caring while providing care for my infant when she was 8 weeks old and again when we followed up at 5 months. He took time to explain to me her injuries and a plan moving forward. We will be back! Highly recommended.

Highly recommend Dr. Buckley and staff:
Highly recommend Dr. Buckley and his staff. He was the reason our child was referred to St. Jude in Memphis at the young age of 3.5 years. If it were not for Dr. Buckley being proactive and incredibly thorough in regard to our child's tumor, we were told by the oncology staff at St. Jude that he would have undergone amputation. But because of Dr. Buckley's care and sense of urgency, our child was quickly referred to St. Jude and began treatment. He has been tumor free since 2011 and never had to undergo amputation. Thank you, Dr. Buckley and staff!
