In my book, Dr.Buchalter is A1. Surgery in December 2017, and after rehab I was back again on my feet with my femur fixed. Today he checked to see if anything was needed, but everything is good and I will see Dr. Buchalter in three years from now. What more can I ask for? Thanks so much, doctor.

Had hip replacement surgery four weeks ago. Before surgery was limping badly and had pain in both my hip area and my knee. Am now able to walk without a limp and without a cane, though I will still use it for a while when going out. I am so happy that the surgery has gone so well, thanks to Dr. Buchalter, who my primary doctor said is so experienced he could probably do the surgery with his eyes closed.

When meeting Dr. Buchalter for a consultation for a full knee replacement, I was Completely impressed for several reasons: Dr. Buchalter explained Clearly and in an Easy to understand manner how his surgery techniques are Advanced in achieving Less pain which results in a Quicker recovery time. This coupled with Dr. Buchalter's Caring and Compassion manner erased my fears. The Amazing End result was the full mobility of my knee and being able to go home Within 24 hours after surgery.

Dr. Buchalter replaced both of my knees. He did one in November and the second knee in February. I went home the first day after surgery with minimal pain after the second replacement. He told me that he had recently gone to a course on outpatient knee replacement and was using a special method to speed up my recovery. I only took 2 pain pills after the surgery and can walk without a cane and it is only 3 weeks. He is the best!!

Dr. Buchalter performed a difficult knee revision on my right knee in early December, 2018. My partial knee device had to be removed and my bones had to be rebuilt before the full knee device could be inserted. He did an outstanding job despite the difficult circumstances. He is at the top of the class when it comes to knee replacement. I highly recommend him.

Dr. B is a caring no nonsense orthopedic surgeon. I was impressed that he didn’t rush me into doing any surgery. But when I wasn’t getting better I had him replace my hip. He explained everything clearly. he made sure I was well prepared. After I had the surgery,I was out of the hospital the next day using only a cane which I got rid of by the end of the week. I will definitely recommend him.

Well in short Dr. Buchalter did my very first by lateral hip surgery at the age of 14. Not only is he passionate, but he is very in detail. he is a straight shooter wont lead you on. Not only did he do a great job on me, but he has done surgeries on my father and numerous family members. It's not often can you find a doctor you can trust. He's not only an excellent surgeon, he is a part of the family.
