My visit was a timely and positive experience.
Dr. Buckminster is very knowledgeable and patient. We found him for second opinion and potential procedure advice on Gallstones. He suggested us not to take further procedure until conditions change. We will follow his advice and continue to monitor the conditions. If needed, we would come to him for further surgery.
