Patient Reviews
Jan 17, 2017
Dr Buster handled my emergency tumor resection 9 years in 2007. He was punctual, caring & precise about the procedure. The follow up visit in his office was also handled in an efficient & satisfactory manner. I had some special requests to his staff since I was in from Europe and they obliged. In hindsight, the only thing that could have been better was to have carefully explained what to expect after I woke up from the surgery to mentally prepare me, but that's a comment to the whole staff.
