My mom went in for a routine check-up and later received a call from Dr. Vikner asking her to come in for a biopsy immediately because my mom's lab results had some red flags. She made the situation sound very serious over the phone. We were all freaking out thinking that my mom might have cancer. When my mom went in for her biopsy the next day Dr. Vikner's tone was completely different. It turned out one of my mom's lab results was on the border of being above standard threshold. Instead of performing the same test again or asking my mom about symptoms which she did not do AT ALL, Dr. Vikner simply forced a biopsy on my mom who was feeling completely fine. The procedure was invasive and could have had risks. My mom immediately felt she was cheated at that moment so Dr. Vikner could make more money. While we were very happy the biopsy result came back (unsurprisingly) negative at the end, the experience was just absolutely horrible. Felt like a huge scam. She treats her patients like they are idiots. Would never go back.

Dr. Buckner is my Gynecologist and Obstetrician I have been going to her for 20 years now! My daughter was delivered by her 19 years ago , Rude….far from it , straightforward absolutely and that’s exactly how you want it especially when you’re nervous about the whole pregnancy process! She is a very smart individual who knows exactly what she’s doing I recommend her through and through!

While I can understand that some people don't appreciate her manner (she is very straightforward), I have nothing but the utmost respect for her. In my first pregnancy she saved me from another doctor who wanted to induce labor at 20 weeks without even looking into what was going on (son born healthy at 38.5 weeks!). She went through a horrid ectopic with me, and then with my pregnancy and birth of my daughter. She rocks. She cares greatly, isn't typically warm and fuzzy, but one day I really needed a hug and she was there for me. Her technical skills are beyond reproach. I cannot say enough good things about her staff - I just love them.

She is very rude, speaks only what she wants to say, and disrespects your profession. She should have learned common sense and communication skill before getting MD. Please do not let her waste your time and money!

Dr. Vikner is not rude she is just cold. I think bad information should not be given over the telephone,9 AM, while a woman is at work starting her day! She should have her staff make appointments and she should give the patient the bad news so she can properly explain the information and offer suggestions. She is the doctor NOT HER STAFF!

If you value your health and your unborn child, please see someone else. Absolutely no bedside manner - she is downright rude and condescending, she made MANY poor judgement calls during my sisters delivery. The absolute worst doctor I've ever encountered.

Very cold, demanding, and rude. Ahe insisted that I get induced on my due date to prevent my baby from gettimg big. He wasn't big at all. I was in labor for 10 hours and when I was pushing she called me lazy.
When I went for a surgery she didn't even introduce herself to the family members who were with me and she left the hospital right after the surgery without even speaking to me or my family. At the consultation she said I would be sent home with pain medicine but whe just gave instuctions to the nurse to give me Motrin. The nurse was shocked that we were not given a script for pain medicine. My family convinced her to give me pain meds and had to go to her office to get the script where she told my family member that she babies me too much.
Her office staff are very nice and she is very good with drawing blood. Overall I regret xhoosing her due to her rudeness and lack of respect to her patients.

Dr. Vikner is not good at surgery at all. She did the abortion surgery for me one month ago. Before the surgery, she was so worried about you. The first time I visited her was at my baby's 8 weeks. She told me that there was no life in the uterus without any blood test. Then she encouraged me to schedule the surgery in the next morning without ultrasound. She didn't care about my feeling at all. After that she asked me to go to the hospital to do the ultrasound for confirmation. But the hospital did not give me the report even when I asked for it. They just said they have called the doctor, which made me feel upset. The surgery she said was very successful. But after the surgery, it kept bleeding for a month and the blood flood took place. When I asked to check anything wrong with the uterus, she refused. She doesn't care about the patient maybe she is afraid of confronting her bad surgery skill. Or she already made large amount of money from you, and she doesn't care the little money from the follow up. Even though the staff are very friendly, the doctor is the one who matters in the hospital. Never find this doctor. I can't regret more.
