“From the minute she walked into the room, Dr. Buckingham was warm and emphathetic. She asked questions and listened well (a rate trait in physicians these days, unfortunately). I felt confident in her knowledge and am thrilled to have found a fantastic neurologist who also accepts my insurance.”

“Dr. Buckingham was completely aware of my symptoms and prior treatments and medications so the appointment was quick and efficient. We discussed alternative medications and their interactions with my other meds and agreed on a course of action. This is what a doctors visit should be like all the time. Great doctor. ”
