Dr. Buchanan obviously doesn't take herself too seriously, as she introduced herself as Amy, which I love. She was really helpful and an amazingly good listener. I didn't feel rushed or like a burden, and I will absolutely be going back. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Dr Buchanan was very personable, listened to all my concerns and really took her time to get to know me on my first visit. Her front desk staff was also very friendly.
Verified patient
I've never really stuck with a doctor because I never felt like it really mattered. I would just see whoever was available I never actually had a preference. For the first time ever, I truly feel I'll stick with Dr. Buchanan. She was super sweet I made everything very easy. Though I am generally healthy, she alerted me how she get ahead of potential future problems that I had previously not even thought of.
Verified patient
Dr. Buchanan is a fantastic doctor! She is on-time for appointments and spends an ample amount of time explaining things and answering questions. Dr. Buchanan is truly dedicated to and caring for her patients. Mary K.
Verified patient
Friendly and upbeat. Would recommend understanding insurance plans a bit more. I was hesitant to have a test done not knowing an estimated cost of how much it could cost me out of pocket if insurance didn’t cover. Or, it would have been nice to know of other options.
Dr Buchanan has an excellent visit cadence and truly seems interested in the doctor/patient exchange. I appreciated her frankness and pragmatic approach during this visit. While I am loathe to deal with healthcare responsibilities, I can see that Dr. Buchanan will make it easier to manage in a more routine fashion in my life.
