1 million stars if I could. Great experience!! I had an ingrown toenail I had to get removed and I had major anxiety about it. I came in for a consultation and within 5 minutes he said he could do it right then and there, or I could wait awhile and do it somewhere else with extra sedation. I chose to do it there and had a great experience. He gave me a moose teddy bear to hold, and the whole thing just went so well. The shots were quick, he let me sit for 10ish minutes and then came in and did the surgery in about 10 min. Was in the office from start to finish for about 45 min total. My toe hurt a bit the rest of the day but hasn't since. The front desk ladies were also so nice and encouraging!! He really is a pro. read more

If I could give him negative stars I would. He's nice and very eager to operate on people. He spent four hours operating on my feet and years later my feet are worse in every way, more painful. Huge regret! read more

Referred here by my general doctor and the whole staff were friendly and Dr Buckenberger had great bedside manner and was super knowledgeable. Dr B even brought in a little stuffed friend to offer comfort while doing my procedure. read more

Robert K. Buckenberger, DPM - My little helper getting shots - Podiatrists Near Me - Fresno, California

Great dr. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The staff is polite and efficient. My surgery went very well and the recovery time was exactly as what was explained to me read more

Having never visited a podiatrist before, I was not too sure what to expect. However, my excellent internist referred me to this office when I developed severe pain in my heel. The office staff handled the appointment-making and all details very well. Dr. Buckenberger is quite thorough and very pleasant. He diagnosed my heel problem not as bursitis but as Achilles tendonitis and gave me a lesson in foot structure. He went on to prescribe some excellent topical anti-inflammatory medicines and a couple of orthopedic devices to keep my heel in place as I walked and slept. Although the office is small, the staff and service are outstanding. read more

Dr. Buckenberger provides great service and care. My whole experience was outstanding. His staff got me in quickly to address a very painful ingrown toenail. I waited about 10 minutes in the waiting room, and less than 5 in the exam room. He came in, saw I was in pain, and since I knew the procedure I wanted, he said "be right back," He returned, numbed my toe and then after a few minutes came back and did the procedure. Waiting for the toe to numb was the longest I had to wait. The next day I expected my toe to be very sore as I had this procedure done on my other toe by another provider...but to my surprise, the toe was hardly sore at all. His bedside manner is also very good. If you need foot care, I highly recommend Bob Buckenberger. read more

Awesome office all the way around. First front office gave a couple options for appointments. Dr. Buckenberger ask questions to understand history and cause, then explain his thoughts and next steps and why. Office up automated too! They have internal Xrays like many Dentists have. Take an xray in the office and it comes up on computer monitor to look at together. read more

I've been to several podiatrists, Buckenberger is the best ever. He worked on my parents before me and always did very well. I won't go anywhere else is Fresno. read more

Dr. Buckenberger is probably the nicest Doctor I've ever met. He was kind and patient during my appointment and took the time to address all of my questions and make sure that I was taken care of. It's easy to see why his schedule is a little tight. Lucky for me, I was put on a cancellation list and was able to be seen a week earlier than my original appointment. I had a great experience and would recommend him to anyone read more

My first time as a patient. Staff were very welcoming. Dr listen to my complaints and explained to me my options. I never felt rushed with my office visit. He is very professional and clearly explained my concerns. I will definitely be back for a follow up. read more

Came here for a plantar wart. The doctor was nice and so were the girls at the front desk. I guess I had a previous Dr not treat my plantar wart correctly according to this podiatrist. He said it would be best if we did an acid like treatment on my foot. (Not as bad as it sounds I promise) . After my insurance covered their part and I paid my co-pay, I was billed almost $300 and it was not resolved. I went back and he asked if I wanted to do the treatment again since I was still in pain. Hell no, I am not paying $600 total for it to "maybe" work the next time. All in all, he wasn't able to help me. That is life so I am not going to give them an unfair 1 star review. I was hoping he would have had a different doctor to refer me to or a different method to treat my plantar wart besides something that didn't help me at all the first time. I would have been open to the treatment again if it helped a little the first time. Just an honest review. He was very professional and nice though. read more

This was extremely disappointing. The visit was a complete rush. He didn't listen to what I was trying to tell him at all. Pretty much shot everything down except arch supports - the ones they sell out of that office. I went there because of good reviews - but this was a bad experience. I really was looking forward to getting some solid input on the problems with my foot so I can get back to running and all I really got was a strong sales pitch on his arch supports. Not going back. read more

Dr. Buckenberger gets right to the point! He has helped me with Achilles tendonitis. I purchased some custom made orthotics, and they cured me instantly! I am back to try and fix one tiny problem, which has occurred as a result of me being able to walk more. I want to walk more, and be free from pain, and he has offered a solution. We are working on it now! I recommend him to any and everyone that has foot pain, calluses, or anyone that needs a podiatrist. read more

My visit with Dr Buckenberger was an awesome experience! The staff was very helpful and sent me both text and email reminders. I liked the convenience of several modes of communication. No wait time at all and only a few minutes wait inside the exam room. Dr was professional and listened carefully to my concerns. He was kind and very nice. I didn't feel rushed at all. He recommended orthotic sandals (and they're actually stylish) and I even ordered some for my husband. He also ordered an MRI without hesitation. I appreciated how responsive and proactive he was! A very pleasant experience all the way around! read more

Dr. Buckenberger was personable and professional at my first visit in his office. I look forward to a long time doctor patient relationship with him. I appreciated his interest in my concerns and his prompt attention to the problem I came to his office for which to be treated. read more

I called to become a new patient and was told I have to fill out paperwork before an appointment was scheduled. There was an appt open that fit my schedule so i raced down there, filled out my paperwork and returned thru their mailslot ( lunch time). I was told I would recieve a call to schedule appt after lunch. At 4:10 pm, i still had not recieved a call so I called. I was told that they were just entering my information and were going to call to schedule. The appointment I wanted was already taken by someone else! Seriously? 3 plus hours no call? No way to treat a new patient! I did not schedule and have found another podiatrist that gladly scheduled me immediately. Btw I have excellent insurance so their loss! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Buckenberger for several years and as a diabetic it was imperative I see him on a regular basis and at the sign of any foot injury or damage. All of a sudden I am told I cannot schedule an additional appointment because I had a balance of $60. I asked to pay it right then, was told it went to collections and they couldn't take it. Seriously! Over $60! And now they won't let me pay it unless I pay through collections which includes all the extra fees. So several months later I call for another rather important issue on my feet and again I'm told I have to pay the $60. So I agree and ask "if I pay it can I schedule an appointment? I was told "yes" so when I went to pay it, another front desk gal said 'nope it's in collections and we can't see you until that's taken care of." Seriously? $60? It can't have been financially worth it to send a $60 collection in. I love doctor but unfortunately his office staff is the first line of defense and they apparently are quite unreasonable. read more

I have gone to Dr Buckenberger for many years, he's patient explains your problem in detail yet gentle. I highly recommend him for any and all of your foot, toe ailments, and surgery too. You won't be disappointed guaranteed!!! ********** read more

I was so incredibly impressed. I called to make a "new patient" appointment. I had been ignoring and suffering a while and needed to have an ingrown toenail taken care of. Paperwork first, I went in to the office to complete the forms and I was advised there were openings in a couple of days. To my surprise, the very kind staff got me in and Dr. Buckenberger took care of my toe right then. Start to finish I was there about an hour. Given I live in the mountains and drove an hour to get there, I saved the time and gas for an extra trip and two more days with my very sore toe. Recommend Dr. and staff! read more

I have only been to the office once but my experience was good. The wait time was not too long. The doctor actually listened to what I had to say and was then concise but thorough in explaining my options. read more

I have no complaints. I went in for cortisone shots a couple years ago (plan on going in again, soon!). I went to one other podiatrist before and was not offered immediate relief but was referred for overpriced inserts that exasperated my problem with PF. I took a chance on Dr. B., after reading some reviews and I love that he was a no nonsense guy! I am private paying and did not need the run around or further experimenting. He was very thorough and welcomed questions/concerns. The waiting room was too small for my comfort but I didn't wait long at all. read more

Dr. Buckenburger is professional and knows his stuff, plus he has a great bedside manner, is a good listener and treats you as if you're his only patient. I would recommend Dr. Buckenburger to anyone seeking a good podiatrist. read more

I had been a patient of this office for 4 years. I routinely went twice a year or so to have a corn removed. I usually had a great experience. The Dr. Is great, so kind, friendly, and gentle. Until recently, after I had decided to purchase orthotics, things went downhill fast, regarding how much I would pay out of pocket. I was quoted a certain price and agreed to pay that price for the orthotics. once my orthotics came and it was time for me to pay, the cost was much higher than what they told me. Had I known it was really going to be that price, I would not have agreed to it because it was too expensive. I paid the amount I owed, even though it was more than they quoted me. Then a few months later, I receive another bill in the mail saying I owed more on the orthotics. I tried explaining to them that I already paid the amount in full, yet they were convinced I still owed money. I paid that bill in full in March of 2015 and decided I will never ever go back. Now it's October and I just received another bill in the mail. I don't understand what they are doing. I have received two additional bills after I paid in full. I can't believe it, just can't believe it. That's all I'm going to say.. Be careful. read more
