Benjamin Busfield, MD FAAOS

After my 3 year old fell off the play structure on a Friday night and landed on her elbow, we took her straight to urgent care where they said she had a fractured elbow and to follow up with a Dr. the following Monday. She had been in a lot of pain all weekend so we were eager to get a cast on her when we went to see Dr. Busfield on that Monday. We had tried calling a couple different orthopedic offices before his and nobody could get our daughter in that day even knowing the condition she was in. Dr. Busfield’s office got her in within 2 hours of us calling! He took one look at the x-​Rays provided by urgent care and said she needed surgery within the next couple days. He was thorough, and you could tell he really cared about the way her arm would heal and the pain she was in. He is very straight forward and gives you all the information you need. I was so nervous for her surgery, they had to put my baby girl under to realign her elbow and put pins in. Dr. Busfield made us feel comfortable from pre-​op, and especially during post-​op. He told us the surgery went great, showed us updated x-​Rays with our daughter’s elbow aligned properly, and gave us full directions on how to care for her at home. Some of these Unilocal reviews had me a little nervous, but we had a wonderful experience with him and his office. I hope I don’t need to see him again in the future lol but if we ever do need orthopedic care, he’s the one my family will go to from now on.

My son is a patient of Dr. Busfield’s and I have had nothing but a fantastic experience with his office. He is quite the professional along with his staff which are very friendly. On several occasions I have had to call the office for different paper work/​disability issues and they have always been able to resolve the problems and be so helpful to him. They have been treating him for several months during which time he suffered a broken arm and now a fractured leg and because of Dr. Busfield’s treatment and after care he is mending very well… I am so glad we found Dr. Busfield and will continue to see him in the future if the need arises. Thank you to Crystal and all the other office staff for making this experience a fantastic one.

Mom was in a car accident and as a result, had 6 fractures. I went to Dr. Busfield for treatment. I had called him prior to making a appointment to ask if he could treat mom’s special case and he said he could. He wasn’t aware of what he was doing and had to consult his Dr. friend all through out mom’s treatment. While it is a good idea to consult your colleague when unsure, I asked Dr. Busfield for his opinion, since he was the treating doctor, he didn’t have an answer. Dr. Busfield didn’t even have the courtesy to tell my mom that she needed surgery, his secretary comes out to inform us.
Dr. Busfield mumbles and talks fast so it’s very difficult to understand him. The staff misplaced mom’s records and was telling me that they returned the records. Just to be sure, I rechecked in my home. I called them back to tell them that I didn’t have the records so the secretary mumbles to her colleagues «she is changing her story again» while I was on the line. How unprofessional. Then she tells me we only have one image cd for your mom. She basically lied and didn’t want to give me back MY records that I physically gave them to review. The staff won’t even open the door for you when you are at an appointment when they see you struggling to open the door. They also keep you on hold for long periods of time before they get back to you.
I had a HORRIBLE experience and I would not recommend this doctor to anyone, especially if it’s for traumatic injuries.

He is an awesome Dr. My wife walked into his office in pain, and after a thorough checkup he determined what her problem was and within minutes he administered a shot and her problem immediately was relieved. Several follow up visits were set up and she is on the road to recovery. Thank you very much for your speedy diagnosis and treatment.

My husband was a patient of Dr. Busfields, went in for an exam on his knee, Dr. sent him to physical therapy for about 3 weeks, still no improvement in his knee. My husband called the doctors office on 3 different occasions to try to talk to the Dr. about his knee, dr. apparently doesn’t return phone calls to his patients! He had to find a new orthopedic doctor in Walnut Creek, doctor knew exactly what is was… he had water on the knee, had it drained with a cortisone shot and he was back feeling so much better by the next day. If this doctor would have known to drain it in the beginning my husband wouldn’t have had to wait so long in pain! I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.

Dr Busfiled did my husband’s shoulder surgery. The outcome was great and he is a caring doctor
