He was busy. No time for a little conversation before getting down to business. He seems like a nice person. I missed the rapport aspect of our visit.

This was a follow up on the surgery done in January. My hand is doing wonderful and thanks to Dr. Buckley, I am no longer in pain from that wrist. He is a very wonderful person and cares deeply about his patients . I am amazed at the outcome as the surgery was performed and uncomfortable the first couple of days and the pain and discomfort were gone. Thank you Dr. Buckley for the wonderful outcome.
