Dr. Buck is awesome! He asked all the pertinent questions, listened carefully to my concerns, gave me a sound diagnosis, and a clear path to full recovery. He's got a very upbeat and likable personality, too. I would highly recommend Dr. Buck to anyone needing podiatric care.
The current phone system for Weil Foot & Ankle is a bit frustrating. It's difficult to reach a live person and very difficult to contact the specific office directly, if needed.
