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.

Dr. Peter Buecker performed two surgeries on me and I am alive today because of the excellent work he performed. I had cancer in my left humorous bone which he removed and replaced in 2008 and cancer in my right scapula which he removed a baseball size tumor in 2015. I have full mobility on my right side. My left I have 70% however my deltoid muscle was almost removed. I had kidney caner stage 4 going on 12 years now!

Was horrible, he did a knee replacement on the left knee and found out I was allergic to all metal used. Why would he put all nickel in when everything was titanium? Hard to come back from after that. Clearly he didn't care that I broke my femur,tibia and fibula SMH. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone

He did my rotator cuff surgery and four years later it has never been right. I believe I'm going to have to have it redone. I certainly wouldn't recommend him for a shoulder surgery. He never seemed to address my concerns with pain after the surgery or take them seriously.

Dr.Buecker has performed a clavical excision and subcromial decompression on each of my shoulders. I am very pleased with the results. Finally no more pain.
