-June Johnson

reviews

He took very good care of my daughter before and after her surgery. He responds to messages and returns your calls back very quickly. Love Dr. Buchholz

reviews

Dr. Buchholz did my lower lumbar fusion on 12/22/2017. I went to him to get help and to better understand as to what's going on with my back. He took his time with me and my mom as to what's needs to be done to help me have a better quality in life. To me he treats me as family! I give him a 100% rating
