Patient Reviews
Jan 12, 2024
Dr Buffington has been my doctor for years and he has always been very good. He has consistently helped me to concentrate on a healthy diet and at age 64 neither my wife or myself have needed to be on any prescription drugs. He is the only Dr i have ever had that works on fixing issues instead of covering them up with more drugs.
