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.

Exceptionally professional in every respect. Everyone works as a team and knew what they were doing. From the receptionist, to the physicians assistant, to the lab technicians...every single person treated me with exceptional courtesy and respect. And friendliness—which is a really big deal to me because I have serious white coat syndrome. It was my first appointment and I was seen on time, the PA was approachable and thorough, then the lab re-opened just for me even though they had closed. The lab is right there on site…a plus in itself. Very seriously, this is medicine the way it should be-I was treated like I was what mattered most. A practice that is run with exceptional competence and professionalism— rare and refreshing.

Very poor communication from this office when you have issues. They require you to leave messages for a return call. Multiple times I have left 3 messages on 3 separate days before getting a response. Long wait times, I was once scheduled for an appointment at 9:15am when the doctor was not scheduled to come in until 11am. My pharmacy has now twice reached out for a renewal request and received no response in 10 days.

Dr. B has been my dr for more than 20 years. He’s goofy and silly, and intelligent and thorough! When something is going on with me that he isn’t 100% sure on, he refers me to someone who he is 100% confident will find out. I appreciate his health CARE more than any provider I have ever met. He is a true caregiver and wants to see his patients have the best quality of life possible.

Dr. Buchanan has been my physician for over 20 years. He has guided my journey with Diabetes with exceptional skill and apparent results. He has been readily available at any timethrough his staff. He has a humorous dry bedside manner. I always encourage anyone I meet that has diabetes to contact his office for an appointment.

Dr. Buchanan is the most intelligent dr. I have ever had. He is so accurate of diagnosis and follows through with any complications I am having. He was my in laws doctor for years and my daughters, husband and my doctor for years. When test are run he goes over everything and is very knowledgeable in treating any symptoms. I would never find a doctor like him. He is the best. I thank him for treating me like a patient should be treated. Would recommend Dr. Buchanan to everyone.
