Amazing

My experience with Luke have been amazing! He is very passionate about making sure that his patients are in respectable care and progressing well. My injury is not easy so with him making sure that my wound is healing correctly and keeping an eye out on it means a lot!

Wouldnt go anywhere else

Getting to meet Luke for the first time and him telling me what my goals were, was very calming. This was my first major injury and I knew I was in good hands. From text messages to see if I was ok to telling me workouts to do. He guided me and set me up for success to where I could be stronger than where I was pre-injury. I couldn't tell you how scary things are not being able to do things you normally do and now getting back to some set of normalcy was huge for me.

Review of Luke's Treatment

I had a positive experience working with both Luke and Andrew. I feel Luke has been able to take me to a higher level of recovery. He has been patient in listening to where I am every time I come. It has been extremely helpful that he has had personal experience with back pain so he could understand easier than a therapist who has never had back issues. Him sharing his personal experiences and what has helped him has been very beneficial. I have enjoyed working with Luke and if I need to come back would not hesitate to ask for him to be my therapist again.

The most intentional care

I was a runner at NC state a few years ago and came down with a hip injury that has put me out of running. With my MRI negative for any problems, but still having a lot of popping and pinching, Luke decided to work from EVERY angle to get my hip back into the right condition. He has taught me how to clean up my exercises and get motion back in my hip and I am forever thankful. He will go above and beyond to get you where you need to be and that is all I could ever ask for.

Luke is a gifted diagnostician and therapist with an amazing understanding of the human body and its

Luke's professionalism and expertise make him an excellent therapist, while his confidence in his knowledge, coupled with his kind demeanor, make him a wonderful care provider. His ability to recall my situation and progress from week to week was comforting reassurance that he placed great value on being super intentional about my care. I experienced improvement after every visit. What a gift to be treated by someone with such high personal and professional integrity.

Luke always finds a way

I wish I didn't need PT, but since i do, i couldn't be luckier to have found Luke and the whole staff a Trinity Wellness.

A bad cycling accident left me with two fractures in my back. After an unsuccessful trial with another clinic, I was referred to Luke and found out what real physical therapy is about.

Over the years Luke has helped me flare ups and other injures related to my original injury. He always finds the right level of therapy and excercise to get me back living my life.

Excellent Physical Therapy Skills

Mr. Buffum provides an excellent physical therapy session in first listening to my past week physical conditions and needs and provides feedback in assessing my current PT goals and needs. He provides a verbal assessment of what the session entails, asks for my understanding and then progresses through the PT session, all the while monitoring my progress through established goals and procedures. Mr. Buffum is professional in all procedures and punctual in utilization of time.

helped me regain my quality of life

I had seen other physical therapists and my pain continued to worsen, never getting any answers. After seeing Luke for a few sessions he was able to finally accurately diagnose and help me find some relief. He always has time to listen and take the necessary time to get me out of pain. I now can work pain free and enjoy time with my kids. I can't say enough good things.
