Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ok doctor, not the best
Years ago he helped with a couple issues a teen, he was ok for stitches and fixing a laceration. Another time in my 20s i came in for shoulder pain after a work incident. I don't now if he didn't believe me or what, but he grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back which resulted in loud popping an immense pain. Subsequent mri revealed a fracture & problems with the shoulder joint that have never correctly healed since it still pops out of the socket 15+ years later. I don't know if it was the result of my work injury or if he caused that, either way he made my problems worse. At that point i started seeing a new doctor.

I established care with him when I was in good health, but when my health got complicated these are the exact words from his message: "I do think it best if we part ways and you establish yourself with another physician. Good by TGB" He also misdiagnosed my MIL's UTI as fatty liver which could have lead to kidney failure.

I have been a patient of his for 25+years. I can say that although my health all my life has been poor, he has helped me manage it the best possible and get the most out of it. As a matter of fact, I was able to work an extra 25 years longer because of his Medical Expertise. He is one of the most Professional, Compassionate, and Attentive Physicians that I have ever met. Good doctors are so hard to find that at one point I moved half way across the State due to a Job transfer and yet I returned

Dr. Buchanan is my age and I think that helps because he understands what I am going through and can ask appropriate questions.
