Patient Reviews
Jul 18, 2023
I needed to have my gallbladder removed. Dr. Buckner was very welcoming and attentive. He made sure to let me know that while he most recently specializes in Breast Cancer procedures, he commonly performs my needed surgery. He explained effects of keeping my gallbladder with benefits, what to expect, etc. Surgery day he was very helpful as well as during follow up.
