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 had Dr. Buchholz perform two surgeries on me. Five years ago, he removed my gall bladder via laparoscopic surgery and, more recently, he performed robotic surgery to repair a ventral hernia. I can't say enough good things about every aspect of his professionalism and expertise. He is truly skilled at his craft and has an outstanding bedside manner to boot. While I hope I never have to meet up with the good doctor again in the OR, I would never hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who is in need of an outstanding physician with such skills.

Dr. Buchholz recently removed an obstruction in my extremely large hernia and performed a hernia repair at Community Medical Center. Excellent surgeon. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of bariatric surgery. A++ as far as I am concerned.

Dr. Buchholz performed emergency surgery on my husband who had a abdominal obstruction at Ocean Medical in Brick NJ. From the first time we met him in the ER we knew we were in good hands. He explained what he was going to do and why and acted quickly. I continue to appreciate all of his care before , during and after the operation and would highly recommend Dr. Buchholz

Performed laporscopic surgery to remove a tumor in my stomach along with a piece of my stomach. Did a great job. Smooth recovery and feel better than expected after 6 weeks.
