Just that Dr Buxton is the best.

09/18/2024

Overall pleased with care. There was an administrative misunderstanding that will cause my husband to have to make an additional appointment for advanced care planning. The ACP appointment only allowed enough time for me rather than for both my husband and me which is what was my request and original understanding when I made the appointment.
