I know that sounds like an exaggeration. It is not. When you suffer from foot pain beginning in your early teens and it continues for decades, to finally have sustained relief is life-changing.
About a 10 years ago I met Dr. Buchanan. Bad feet - painful and bent - are a genetic fact on both sides of my family. As I watched my relatives age, I was determined not to hobble through middle-age and be limited by what I could do because my feet hurt all the time, even when sitting down.
Dr. Buchanan diagnosed both feet as needing bunion and bunionette surgery. The surgery required trimming of bone and screws on both sides of my feet. He made sure I was comfortable post-surgery and had the right tools to make a steady recovery. It went very smoothly. I waited about a year then we did the same procedures on the second foot. I received the same consistency of communication and care.
I had occasion to see him for an unrelated item earlier this week. I wore sandals. It was such a pleasure to show him my feet! They are straight and lovely. There are virtually no scars - you would have to intentionally look to find them. I was happy to thank him in-person and tell him he had genuinely changed my life.
I know other people who have had bunion surgery which was a big deal though not as extensive as my own. None of them have had as good of an outcome as I have had. Over the years, if I hear someone is considering surgery, I always tell them about Dr. Buchanan and my experience.
I know it can be daunting to embark on such a surgery - finding the right doctor, time away from work, recovery, the unknown, the list goes on. Dr. Buchanan offers compassion, information, communication and a level of expertise and experience that will help you feel confident when you make your decision.
