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 had a very complicated case and Dr. Bucko was able to help me understand what I wanted and the risks associated. In the end, it was a tough 5 weeks or so to heal but now totally worth it! Dr. Bucko is amazing and his staff was very professional and patient with me and my needs! I’m happy that I choose Dr. Bucko and if I had to go through it again, I would choose him again.

Dr Bucko performed a breast augmentation that resulted in a deformity called a double bubble. When I showed Dr. Bucko and his nurse the results of the surgery and they had no concern what so ever, in fact his attitude was demeaning and condescending. I ended up getting consultations with several high profile plastic surgeons who all said the result of the surgery would be extremely difficult to correct due to the damage done. Choosing Dr. Bucko as my surgeon was the worst mistake of my life!!
