Patient Reviews

Dr. Buchanan is a brilliant orthopedic surgeon and kind, patient doctor who takes the time to explain options and answer questions. He operated on my foot and I was amazed at how quickly I have recovered, which I attribute to his skill with a
complicated surgery. In addition, his advice pre...

I was able to get a same day emergency appointment with Dr. Buchanan for a debilitating issue with my foot that happens only intermittently. Fortunately, he was able to see me during one of the debilitating episodes. He was able to diagnose my issue and offer solutions previous doctors couldn&rsqu...

I feel that Dr. Buchanan‘s approach to my tibial tendinitis was the best approach for me. When I first met Dr. Buchanan, he was very personable. He Introduced me to his team. He took a conservative approach for my treatment. The Nirschl Orthopaedic Center has a The Nirschl Orthopaedic Center ...

I went to Dr Buchanan for a cheilectomy (surgery on my big toe). He tried to resolve the pain with minimally invasive approaches including cortisone shot, PT, switching out shoes, etc. When that didn't work, he said the only option was the surgery. I was very nervous about the procedure, and Dr B...

The practice is very organized and through my initial consultation with Dr Buchanan, I felt confident and well equipped to handle this surgery. Dr Buchanan did an amazing job and I was given the tools to heal well at home.

It might be trivial but when a physician calls a patient to see how they are doing it makes me feel pleased that c...

So I’m just off the bike, covered in sweat and tears of joy, and felt compelled to say thank you for everything you’ve done for me (peroneal tendon repair surgery)! I am truly beyond grateful for you and (my therapist). It feels so good to move and tax my body again and it makes me emoti...

I do not know whether you remember operating on me, or not. It was March 21, 2006 when you inserted a rod into my leg after multiple fractures of my tibia and fibula. At the time you told me and my uncle Herb (who is also an orthopedic surgeon) that it was one of the worst injured legs you had seen....

I don’t know how to express my appreciation for the work you did on my ankle last December 5th. My wife and I just returned from two weeks in Europe and I literally walked at least five miles per day, much of it up and down stairs in old Palaces and Cathedrals. I climbed to the top of the dome...
