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.

DISAPPOINTING
I was excited to come across medical practice with a holistic approach and wanted a female physician. Dr. Buchanan definitely disappointed . Unbeknownst to me, I was entering perimenopause and at no point did Dr. Buchanan suggest that this could be the case. I was experiencing anxiety, forgetfulness, insomnia, agitation and audio sensitivity and she never looked at my stats, bloodwork or age as considerations and arrived at this conclusion. Dr. Buchanan also seemed apprehensive about even touching me and made me feel uncomfortable because of the way she looked at me (not sure if this is just her look). My concerns weren't taken seriously and me feel 'unstable.' After conducting my own online investigations about my symptoms, I brought them to her and she simply determined that I had mold in my home and gave me printouts to read. I truly expected more from a woman doctor and was left disappointed and failed. The staff overall was great, friendly and helpful.
