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.

Great Visit With Dr. Buck
The doctor and his staff listened to me with concern and compassion. The doctor offered all possible treatments without emphasizing any one over the others and without dismissing any one over the others. The information was presented in a factual manner allowing me to decide for myself which treatment option would work best for me. He didn’t just tell me what I needed in a shoe and leave me to figure out what shoe would be best for me. He offered options for where to purchase the shoes letting me know that the staff at these places were knowledgeable and would be able to help me figure out the correct shoes for me. He suggested a certain cushion for my toe that has a corn on it and again let me know where I could get these cushions. This after providing me with a few free of charge. Dr. Buck is easy to talk to and spoke to me as an equal and not as someone who’s less than because I’m not a doctor.l

I have chronic pain from nerve damage and Dr. Buck always gives me information to relieve this pain, either with an injection or other ways to help.

Always wonderful.
I can’t remember how many times I’ve been in for my Morton’s neuroma but as usual he is very good at what he does! I’ve been in many times because I decided to try different things to sort the pain out that didn’t involve a cortisone shot and today I finally said yes do that. I’m hoping this will be the last time I go in for this, Dr Buck is always so cheerful and patient with me. Thank you and I would recommend him to anyone with foot issues! Thank you!

This doctor is truly amazing. He helped me with my feet and the pain I’ve been struggling with for several years. I had swollen legs, and I didn’t know why, but he was able to diagnose it and help me to the point where my feet look wonderful again. I’m really very grateful to him and the entire staff because they are fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Buck and his services.
