Patient Reviews
May 21, 2020
Dr. Buchanan was everything a good doctor is: excellent bedside manner, expertise in her field. I had surgery to remove a lump and she did a great job of hiding the incision. I was worried it would leave a big scar but it does not look that way at all! From beginning to end she explained everything succinctly and truly treated me great.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
