Performed carotid artery surgery on me about 12 years ago and did a great job! Listens and discusses your problems well and very courteous. I read another review on here that gave him one star for each category. I don't pay attention to reviews like that and I think those that give them are d nothing more than trolls. The person who gave him one star probably has never been to his office much less had an appointment. Thanks Dr Buckman for your help. This was when you were in Williamsburg.

We met Dr. Buckman in the ER, and he was exceptional! Truly listened to the history provided, and asked questions to help get to the bottom of things. His bedside manner was superb, and his ability to make us all comfortable, and keep us informed was truly appreciated. I would refer my family to him again in the future. Thank you Dr. Buckman.

Dr. Peter Buckman is by far an exceptional lung surgeon/physician. Excellent service, care, bedside manners and staff. He promised he'd take care of me for my five grandchildren. Two years and still cancer free. I'm truly blessed to have him and God in my life.

He performed an esophagectomy on my mother and saved her life! He is brilliant! He doesn't do a lot of small talk, but gets to the point. That's what i care about. It was a serious situation and he treated it as that. I am so glad my mom had him. He performed the surgery, let us know what to expect, and now she is CANCER FREE! He is the best in his field and highly recommend him. By the way my mom is back to normal and doing great thanks to "Peter Buck" we now call him in our family.
