He is outstanding. I highly recommend him. He does great work and explains things in simple terms. Dr. Buchanan has increased the quality of my life a great deal. I can't thank him enough. It's been 7 years since the surgery and everything is going fine. I exercise a lot and get outside a good amount and that helps to keep a persons heart healthy. Thanks again Dr. Buchanan. Barry Lynch
