The decision to undergo surgery can be a difficult process for any patient and family. I am dedicated to providing the most current, up-to-date and safe surgical treatments that allow my patients the quickest recovery and return to optimal health. Communication between the patient and surgeon is vital, and I believe in providing compassionate care and communication before, during and after surgery. Early in my training, I was taught that being able to provide surgery is a privilege, and I am honored to help my patients throughout this process. Specialty training: Dr. Joseph Buendia has extensive experience performing robotic procedures.
