Patient Reviews
Jul 01, 2023
I have seen Dr. Buchalter for over 20 years and he has performed numerous surgeries on me all of which have been successful and complication free! He is literally the BEST doctor I have ever seen! He is totally thorough and, amazingly, will refer you to someone else if he thinks they have more experience in a certain area or procedure. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
