I had the wonderful experience of working with Dr. Buchanan at IMA. He always had a smile and was so kind to employees and patients. He will be missed. My prayers go out for his friends and family as they face the loss of this amazing man.

Dr. Buchanan was my Dr. for over 20 years until he retired. He was a very caring person and a wonderful doctor. I am sorry he has passed - the world will be a sad place without him. Rest in peace and may God place his arms around you.

I had the privilege of working for Dr. Buchanan at IMA for a number of years. What a sweet, intelligent, caring man. I thoroughly enjoyed his stories of fishing and traveling over the years. Prayers and hugs to you Sue. He will be missed.
