 Dr. Buxbaum has helped me navigate three medical challenges - a punctured eardrum, cancer, and a disk issue with resulting sciatica pain. In two of the three, Dr. Buxbaum talked me through the multiple steps of the process, potential treatments to consider, and helped me avoid unnecessary doctor visits. With the third medical challenge, he was a great sounding board for me as I went through treatments which caused secondary medical issues. Dr. Buxbaum was able to help me and so many others over the years due to his extensive medical knowledge and experience. I highly recommend working with him if you are experiencing any kind of medical problem - he made nine challenging months for me so much better through his medical expertise. Michele in NC   

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, a few years ago, I was quite demoralized; interviewing potential surgeons and radiation-oncologists just added to the confusion – too many choices and egos to navigate but little data on competence. 

A mutual friend recommended that I talk to Jim before taking any medical steps or decisions; I’m glad I did. 

Jim is very empathetic and supportive, and talked things through in a way that helped me decide on the next steps to develop a medical plan for my diagnosis. He was a good sounding board for my concerns and helped identify a surgeon that I felt comfortable with. 

Two years later, when tests indicated that radiation therapy may be needed too, I turned to Jim again since there are so many options in this area and he helped me make an appropriate choice that I felt comfortable with. 

If you’re looking for medical-treatment guidance, I recommend Jim Buxbaum wholeheartedly!

I have know Jim for over 18 years.

In the role of an emergency room doctor, he has seen and treated all sorts of medical situations from a sprained finger and sore throat, to injuries resulting from an auto accidents and gunshot trauma. 

His medical knowledge is broad and extensive.

His listening skills are unique among those in his profession.

Jim’s personal integrity is exceptional, which I believe makes him a great resource to navigate today’s medical information and technology jungle.

I recommend Jim without reservation!

 Due to a family medical issue requiring hospitalization, I contacted Dr. James Buxbaum looking for assistance as I was unable to find my way through the medical maze.  I found myself listening but not hearing what was being said by my husband's medical team.  
Dr. Buxbaum was most reassuring and took the time I needed to navigate what was being offered.
 

After my husband's recovery and stint in rehab, Dr. Buxbaum even followed-up upon my husband's return home.  Thank you, Dr. Buxbaum, for your care and support during a most stressful time.
