Bryce B. Buente, DO

I initially thought about practicing pediatrics, but, as I progressed through medical school, I loved managing adult medicine as well. Family medicine gives me the ability see a variety of medical conditions of all ages. It is a privilege to get to be a part of families’ lives from birth to old age and to help them meet their health goals.

I enjoy managing a variety of chronic medical conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. Because of my osteopathic training, I have a special interest in musculoskeletal medicine and can diagnose and manage a variety of non-surgical conditions and injuries. I am trained in a variety of procedures including joint injections, skin biopsies and more.

I love learning about patients’ backgrounds and working with a variety of people. One thing that makes me unique is that I can adjust my practice style based on how a patient best receives information. For example, some patients just want to know what their next step is, while others want to know a detailed walk-through of their treatment path and all the options available. I enjoy connecting with patients and finding the best way to help them meet their health goals.

I have always been into fitness and athletics growing up. I played soccer throughout high school and moved on to an interest in martial arts, including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, in college. I am focusing most of my time on powerlifting with the goal of competing. I am married with a young son. Becoming a parent has helped me become a better doctor because I am able to relate to what many new families go through and can provide practical tips as well. Aside from fitness and enjoying time with my family, I like playing chess and grabbing a drink at local breweries.
