Dr. Buchanan is compassionate, professional, and competent, which is a rare combination.
I was referred urgently to Dr. Buchanan by another doctor. Dr. Buchanan got me in for immediately and got me into hospital for emergency surgery. Several other doctors have minimized my symptoms, including an ER visit that sent me home to seek outpatient treatment. I have been losing function of my legs, and now am bed-bound. Dr. Buchanan will do surgery and get me fixed up. My gratitude knows no bounds. Dr. Buchanan is the very best!
