Dr. Buxton has been a consistently outstanding provider. He listens and offers optional things to try if more than one option is available. I like the way he makes me part of the decision to do or not do something. When he recommends things, I never feel any pressure to do what he suggests. I'm not sure, but I think he has been my provider for more than a decade, and he's always been professional, knowledgeable, and flexible in changing things if need be. He is an exceptional physician in my opinion.
