Patient Reviews
Aug 05, 2020
I was recommended to Doctor Buxton for gallbladder removal due to gull stones. I was extremely Impressed by the staff and the cleanliness of the place. The Doctor made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions before surgery. The surgery was a success with no after problems. Doctor Buxton has great bedside manners. I would definitely recommend him.
