  • Deforest W.

    My experience with Dr. Buechel was great. He was kind and generous with his time. I most appreciated how he took time from his busy schedule to talk with me and explain my medical condition in a simple manner that I could understand. I am doing very well, but more importantly, I do not have any more pain in my knee.

  • Brandon C.

    I had extensive work done on my left knee (both meniscus, microfracture, cleanup). The team at Robotic Joint Center was AMAZING. From my had my initial consultation, through to the post-op check-ins and follow-ups, they had my back every step of the way.

  • Fran R.

    Dr. Buechel has been nothing short of exceptional all around. He made himself available for any and all questions before and after my surgery and well as through my recovery period. He explains everything in detail. I have full confidence in his professional opinion and skill. Thank you.
