I did not see Dr Buesser this time. But she did my surgery and as far as I’m concerned, she is a five star surgeon!

Dr. Buesser has been fantastic throughout my entire trauma & recovery. She’s a straight talker who tells it like it is. She studied my bones to determine the best course of surgical repair, including getting 5 extra staff & IV drug injected when she needed an image with traction applied (NOT FUN!!) to see the EXACT ends of the bones. She spent extra time in the OR (over 4 hours) repairing my elbow joint to give me the best possible outcome for future use of my elbow/arm. i highly recommend her
thank you Dr. Kate
job well done!!!
