    Dr. Zachary Buchwald is one of the best, and each Friday following treatment each week, I met with him to to go over any concerns, or questions I may have, and to Exam the area of treatment of the Radiation. The Doctor is very courteous, knowledgeable and professional in his delivery of service. He communicated with me very well, and I followed his instructions, always. Thank you Emory for Dr. Buchwald.

    The physicians there at Emory are extraordinary. I've never felt so heard and understood as I have there. Compassion is the number one compliment I can convey.

    Dr. McGinnis was knowledgeable, asked relevant questions, and provided valuable information. Dr. Buchwald was very knowledgeable, listened well, answered questions, showed concern, and helped me better understand how my care and treatment would take place. Both explained risks involved with the treatment. I know I am in capable hands.

    Dr. Buchwald is an excellent doctor. He was very thorough in explaining what I may expect when my Radiation Treatments begin and the length of Treatments. He also showed me in the computer my most recent Pet Scan Images and what he was proposing to perform during Treatments. I have a masking setup for next Wednesday to get me setup to begin my treatments.

    Dr. Buchwald was excellent in his delivery of service to me. He explained his approach to treating me, provided my care was referred back to him following Chemo Treatment by My referring Physician, since I was seeking a second opinion on Radiation Treatment. I was very pleased with the course of treatment by the Doctor, should Readiation becomes an option for me, later.

    Dr did not tell me anything I did not already know. I do not see the benefit of seeing them on a weekly basis.

    Dr Buchwald is one of the finest doctors I have ever had I have had and do have several very good doctors, but he is among the best very concerned, listens answers questions and asks questions. The only reason I would not recommend him to someone is because he's a cancer doctor and I would hope they did not have cancer like I do.
