I greatly appreciate how Dr Buckner listens to me and let's me be a part of my care and not just tell me what I need to do, take etc. He actually listens and works with me. That's hard to find anymore.

I was pleasantly pleased with the provider and staff- I needed a pcp bc my last dr left Norton's. Norton scheduled me and was able to get an appt in a timely manner. It is worth the trip to Okolona from J'town to be treated by he and his staff. Dr. Buckner responded to my messages and explained my lab results very quickly. There's no negatives with me! Thanks!
