The reviews listed below were collected independently of Northern Rockies Orthopaedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
It was a pleasure seeing Dr. Buckley. You don’t feel rushed, he takes the time to explain your injury and gives you treatment options as well as recovery times and physical therapy options. I would recommend anyone with hand or elbow issues to speak with him.

Dr Buckley has put my hands back together multiple times. He tells you first what you should consider. Then he tells you what he’s going to do. AND DOES THAT! He’s really a nice person besides.

He was very clear on what he wanted to do & what outcome we should expect. My 8 year old got a cast put on & the staff here was amazing. The lady who put his cast on was so patient with him & his ADHD while putting on the cast definitely recommended them.
