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, Dr Buyer doesnt typically take my insurance but called us back & agreed to help us out! Amazing results, chasing something for so long that wasn't the root problem. We figured it out, & it's like we have a completely different child. I'm so thankful for his input & help

We saw Doug Buyer with our intentions made up front. Our son in need of a 504 plan at school. He was very warm and friendly on our initial visit. Our second visit took a very unexpected turn when I asked a very innocent question about diet and exercise with regards to helping our son’s ADHD. His face turned red and he angrily replied, “I’ve given you my recommendations....” I left feeling belittled and my young son was frightened by what he witnessed.

Dr. Buyer has been an excellent resource for our teenage daughter. Within the first few appointments she has shown major improvement and growth. His demeanor is warm, friendly, & inviting and we believe that has been invaluable in helping her open up and move toward healing. Highly recommended!

Never was able to schedule an appointment. His scheduler works from home, 2 hours dedicated to scheduling calling from a blocked #. Unprofessional with using her personal email to set up an appointment with severe lag time. This is 2016, they need a secure email portal and dedicated phone # for the scheduler. I'm not comfortable with my personal insurance info etc sent via gmail. Unnerving to say the least.
