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.

Dr. Buchanan recently performed amputation of my toe through Corewell Healthcare and it couldn't have went better. He was very informative concerning the whole procedure and was very helpful from start to finish. If they had a rating for a doctor's bed side manners, Brian's would be a 10. Bar none. I highly recommend his services if you're dealing with any foot problems and or need surgery.
