Dr Buxbaum saved my father in law. Other doctors wanted to leave him on a catheter rest of his life but Dr Buxbaum found the problem. Dr Buxbaum now treats our whole family and he excellent with each and every one of us. Very caring, takes his time and does not rush you, and answers all questions where you can understand. Jenny & Rosie in the office are exceptional as well.
