I can't say enough about Dr. Buchalter. He did a total right knee replacement for me 2 years ago and it was an absolute success. He's a true Gentleman and an excellent surgeon. I recommend him with no reservations. The staff in the office is excellent and professional.

I saw Dr. Buchalter because of shoulder pain. He performed a total shoulder replacement with bicep tenodesis. He has been very caring and yet very professional during the whole process. He listens and answers all my concerns. I would definitely recommend him for orthopedic surgery.
