Testimonials

Cristal Buescher you are the best!! I was looking for GP I can trust and feel comfortable with. On our first visit she did labs for things I never thought to check and TOGETHER We came up with a plan that day. The visit was not rushed and she answered all my questions. The next visit we went over labs and she addressed everything with no rush to get me out the door. She offers choices of medications or supplements. No pressure either way. I was offered a genetic testing that was able to show what meds better suited me and what dosage would be best. I leaned so much!

Cristal had made our experience wonderful! We started with a weight loss consultation. She was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the process and how it works. She made my husband with “white coat syndrome” feel at ease. We began treatment and have had great success. She responded he’s quickly when we have questions. We have referred several others to her and have also switched over our primary care! She is wonderful!!
