    Dr. Bachman payed close attention to my personal observations about my condition. He was honest and straightforward, yet retained a sense of humor and relatability that I found comforting.

    My friend referred me to Dr Buchmann. Dr Buchmann did multiple revisions on surgical complications she had from surgery with a different surgeon. Before surgery, and after, I feel very good about Dr Buchmann. To anyone reading this review, I wish you the best with whatever you are currently going through.
