Dear Dr. Buckmire, I'm sure it is always good to get a positive feedback from an appointment. I am doing so much better than I ever expected and this is still the first day, during which you told me that my voice might be very soft, and almost a whisper. On the contrary, it it the fullest, steadiest, easiest to produce voice that I have had for several years. That has been confirmed by my husband and several friends. I'm not sure why I have received this result, maybe it was the right dosage, the condition of my vocal chords, but whatever, I want to express to you my gratitude for this almost instant improvement in the quality of my life.

Dr. Buckmire is very knowledgeable and was able to explain the diagnosis and plan of treatment to me so that I could understand. His bedside manner is great. He made me feel confident that everything was going to be alright. He also held eye contact when he was speaking wother me. He seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.

Dr. Buckmire is one of the two BEST doctors I have ever met. My experience for years was not a good one, was sent to him, after I was told by one doctor that I didn't need any medical treatment for my throat. Dr. Buckmire listened, cared and handled my care with the up most concern, very polite. Takes time to explain what is going to be done, listens to the patients. I could not ask for a better doctor. Would recommend him to everyone in need of an ENT doctor.
