“Dr. Bucher and her assistant were great. I am unfortunately a “high maintenance” patient due to vasovagal episodes that cause me to almost faint at random things. They were patient with this and did what needed to be done as my blood pressure dropped in the appointment. I really appreciated that and glad I chose this practice. Very clear communication on what was being done. ”

Verified patient
Dr. Kristie Bucher, PA-C, was amazing! She will stay with you and listen to your concerns. She also educated me about my acne, the type of medication she was going to prescribe me, how it would work, and the outcome she expected to happen with my acne. Also, her staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable during my visit.
Verified patient
Dr. Bucher and staff were very friendly and listened to everything I told them. Dermatology ended up being the wrong route and she was up front about that. Told me what she could do for me but that ultimately, I should go to a podiatrist for the proper care and referred me to one.
Verified patient
I've never been to a dermatologist before, and I would highly recommend Kristie she is a great listener and very informative. She listened to my concerns and wants and addressed them with care. I had a few moles removed that day and I will be going back for a follow up and possible more procedures. I look forward to going back over all it was a great doctors appointment.
Verified patient
Everyone was very nice from moment I walked in. Wait time less than like 5 mins. Kristie’s assistant was great, she talked me through the biopsy & removing a cyst, made me feel comfortable. Pleasure to be around.
Good place
