I have been a patient of Dr Buchen for many years and he has found and removed Basal Cell Carcinoma from my face on 4 occasions and my back once and each time he was highly skillful especially suturing the wound site. He is highly professional and so is his staff especially RN Audra. I travel from Staten Island because of his treatment in the past and most recently on Mar. 21 2023. I highly recommend him to all of my family and friends.
