Dr. Jessica Buicko is a phenomenal physician. I don't have enough words to express how she is such a great Doctor. She sprung into action and I'm better if it wasn't for her. The course of action saved my life. I'm so honoured to have her as my doctor (surgeon) she is the best!!
I was pleased , she was very cautious.
The only negative was the parking at the facility. Took me about five minutes to find a parking spot and all of the handicap spaces were taken and there was a line for valet. Otherwise wonderful experience thank you
The front office staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Buicko was very understanding, very sweet, very caring. She explained everything very well. And I was really happy with my appointment.
I love Dr Buicko. She is very knowledgeable and caring. Would definitely recommend her!
The doctor and I had a very good talk about the whole process of my surgery. I do hope that everything goes well and I come out without any problems.
Professional, patient & personable
Very professional from checkin to triage to Doctors visit. Would recommend to friends and family. 5 stars
As far as myself I'm overwhelmed with the situation I'm encountering as far as my mm and I'm thankful that Dr. Buicko did have my records and knows what needs to happen.
Yes, this is [...]. Just want to mention that I missed the first two, three questions because I had the phone in my hand and I missed the, I believe at least one or two answers wrong. I said no instead of yes. All right, thank you. Bye bye.
Great experience
