I have lived in Lexington, SC since 2005. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of South Carolina and went on to receive my master's degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Physician Assistant Studies. I enjoy how broad internal medicine can be and I am constantly doing different things on a daily basis. I am challenged and am learning continuously about the most up to date recommendations in medicine. I enjoy reading up on the new recommendations and then educating my patients on these same practices.
In my free time, I enjoy weightlifting, running, and reading/listening to books. I also love being outdoors and hanging out with my fiancé, daughter, and golden retriever Cooper.

I was cared very well but the time spent in the waiting area was rather noisy. No one was paying attention to the sign asking patients to limit their use of cell phones.

My doctor is amaizing and listens attentively and is truly concerned about my health and bad habits and has suggested solutions. Dr Buchanan is the best.

The NP made faces as I explained previous care that had been received and explanations that had been given by physicians. It wasn't clear if she didn't believe me or the treatment and explanations that had been received.

I told the MA I did not want to be weighed. She continued to use terminology saying I "had to get weighed". I told her I did not need to and did not feel comfortable. The rest of my time with her she continued to roll her eyes at me and made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

Yes, Mrs. Chelsea Buchanan is a great PA. She's very attentive to what I need as far as my health care. She's doing a wonderful job, and I trust her.

I asked for support to know if my pancreas is making insulin. While my doctor agreed to that approach, if there were any done, I don't know what they might be. The 2 noted in a Google search, amylase and lipase tests, have no results in my Mychart search. So, I still don't know if my pancreas is acting normally.
