Matthew Buchanan, M.D.

"Dr. Matt Buchanan is an exceptional surgeon and an even better person. I've trusted him with both my own care and the care of friends and family, and he consistently provides outstanding treatment. He is incredibly skilled in his field, but what truly sets him apart is his kindness, patience, and genuine care for his patients. His bedside manner is excellent, and he takes the time to make you feel comfortable and confident in your care. He is absolutely worth the wait for his expertise. In my opinion, there is no one better in the DMV."

"Dr. Buchanan performed ankle surgery for me in December 2024. I have broken my ankles numerous times and he was by far the best doctor I have ever been too. His ability to communicate and perform was exceptional. I would highly recommend him."

"As a physical therapist in the area, I've had the privilege of getting to know Dr. Buchanan fairly well over the years and don't hesitate for a minute to refer patients to him. Personally, he recently went above and beyond to help my husband with a foot issue that came up quickly and was really limiting and painful. His skill, knowledge, demeanor, and communication are all excellent and his team is amazing as well. I absolutely recommend him for any foot/ankle issues!"

"Dr. Buchanan is an outstanding surgeon and I highly recommend him and his practice. Thanks to his knowledge and skill, I can now walk comfortably again. He corrected a botched surgery done by another physician; I wish I had seen him at the onset of my walking issues. At every stage, from consultation to pre-surgical to post-op, Dr. Buchanan explained everything to me and provided me with a realistic timeline for recovery. His explanations are thorough, not rushed, and clear. His staff is also fantastic, especially Jessica Freedman. I cannot say enough positive things about this practice. Thank you, Dr. Buchanan, for giving me my mobility back!"

"Dr. Buchanan removed a small bone from my foot that was causing pain, and I'm back to racing long distances pain-free! He had the right diagnosis, and the right solution. He also warned me that it would take a YEAR to fully heal, and he was right on that, as well."

"Dr. Buchanan is an outstanding surgeon, and his team is truly exceptional. After enduring years of ankle pain and losing the ability to walk, I was fortunate to be referred to Dr. Buchanan. He promptly diagnosed my condition and provided a clear solution. Thanks to his expertise and skill, he performed ankle replacement surgery that not only relieved my pain but also restored my ability to walk, hike, and exercise. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Buchanan and his team for giving me my life back."

"Dr. Buchanan is a consummate professional who runs a tight operation specializing in ankle and foot surgery. He provides prompt service and specific details that speed the recovery process. I'm so glad I chose Dr. Buchanan. I know I will be hiking, scuba diving and traveling in no time."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Buchanan's for a long time and he has done all of my foot surgeries. The latest one was a total forefoot reconstruction and the results are amazing!! I can now get back to walking without pain . He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I know. I can't recommend him enough."
