“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Buchen for over 20 years, and I can confidently say he is one of the best in the field. He is an exceptional surgeon with a level of skill that is matched only by his incredible bedside manner.Beyond his technical expertise, what truly sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares. He never rushes through an appointment; he spends as much time as needed to answer questions and ensure you feel comfortable.He has a remarkable memory for patient history—not just for me, but for my entire family as well. It’s rare to find a doctor who is this easy to talk to and who treats you like a person rather than just another chart. If you’re looking for a friendly, brilliant, and dedicated dermatologist, look no further than Dr. Buchen.”
