"My first impression of Dr. Shina was extremely positive. He was extremely informative and positive in his approach. I had been told he was rather abrupt and brisk in his presentation but I found that not to be true. Maybe people are used to being pampered by doctors but I want the truth and the facts presented in a clear manner. This doctor does that and does it well. His staff seems very competent and able to handle most any situation presented. I liked least the fact that he is so busy. This does cause a delay in processing. I had to wait almost four months to get a initial consult. Future patients should know he is very competent and knows his profession well. His emphasis on aftercare is strenuous.....he really stresses this point, the surgery is a tool, it is up to us to utilize it correctly. He states all known risks of the surgery including his own experiences. At this time he has performed over 700 procedures. Overall I rate him very high. My belief is tha surgical competence is GREATLY desired over bedside manner. "
"Dr. Buchanan has a unique bedside manner and is not appreciated by everyone. One thing for sure...he knows his business and does not pull any punches. He informs you completely and totally. An excellent doctor and extremely competent in his field."
