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.

Excellent care
Very thorough in explanation of treatment options and review of risks and benefits of surgery.

MRI follow up at Northwestern is weeks weeks out. Unacceptable. Dr wants mri and recommends northwestern which is on a backlog and months behind. Does not work for Acute injury.

My visit in Dr. Buchler's office was seamless. I had an x-ray first and this was great. It saves so much time! I did not have to wait long at all to see him either. He was thorough and answered all my questions.
