  Arrogant & Rude, don't waste your hard-earned $ with this guy!..., Mar 30, 2012

I would absolutely NOT go back to see this guy; he's the epitome of the stereotypically arrogant, rude doctor. When he enters the room, he doesn't even say a simple "hello" or even look at you, for that matter--he simply sits down at the computer with his back turned & begins to brusquely ask questions. I believe in common courtesy--so when I politely asked if he always does this, he replied, "I'm just trying to get to this back pain issue...do I come off as standoffish?" When I answered yes, there was no apology--just a, "Well, it might be a problem for YOU, but that's just the way it is." I was speechless, like WOW. I told him there'd be no need for treatment, promptly left and called my credit card company to dispute my copay charge as soon as I got home. Docs, your years of med school don't give you carte blanche to act like a**holes...especially when we're paying you our hard-earned money!
  bad doc xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx..., Mar 29, 2012

My wife went to him with a kidney infection. He said her uretheal tube was obstructed and he would need to operate. He said a simple operation wit a 6" scar and she would be all better. The scar turned into an 18' scar when we asked why he didn't have a reason. He had put a stint in the tube until it healed. He removed the stint causing my wife extreme pain. She developed a fever and had to be rushed to the E.R. The Doctor in the E.R. suggested we go to the Mayo Clinic. The Doctors there couldn't believe the scar and one doctor said he butchered you. I filed a complaint with the Iowa Board of Medicine and two weeks later we received a letter from McFarland Clinic saying we are banned from McFarland Clinics from now on.
  Avoid Dr. Curtis Buchheit currently working at Three Rivers Health...., Jan 30, 2012

Doesn't listen and he likes to spend a lot of time talking. If he does give you the chance to say something, he interrupts you and doesn't give you the chance to finish your question. He will ask you if you have any questions but it's always at the end of the visit and he is standing up with his hand on the door knob ready to end the visit. His answers are brief. The front desk staff at the Three Rivers office never return phone calls and mostly doesn't want to be bothered with phone calls from patients- even when it's an emergency. Trying to get a prescription refill is a waiting game that could take over a month. Please conduct your own research because I don't want to include the details I found out second-hand. Let me just sum it up as he has had a lot of complaints and is very egotistical. He likes to present himself as the owner of his workplace-which it isn't. And that the office staff is his staff-which they are not. There are so many negative things I could report to you about Dr. Curtis Buchheit, but it might be better if you did a little research on your own. Good Luck!
  Lousy overpriced doctor, horrible location, very unproffessional staff..., Jan 24, 2012

I went for a routine visit, and was reassured by the staff that it would be covered by my insurance...then when I finished I find out its not! The staff clearly didn't know what they were talking about, and just told me that so I could come in and make the appointment. The Doctor just rushed the entire visit and didn't even seem concerned about me. I got a very bad vibe that he didn't really know what he was doing, and most of the time he just had the assistants do all the work. Will never go again.
