Amanda Buchanan received her medical degree from Tulane University in New Orleans in 2011. She finished her urology residency at the combined Ochsner Clinic and Louisiana State University program in New Orleans in 2016. She then completed her pediatric urology fellowship training in 2018 at the University of Colorado in Denver.
Dr. Buchanan offers the full breadth of pediatric urology management to her patients, including treatment for hypospadias, undescended testicles, hernias/hydroceles, vesiculo-ureteral reflux, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, hydronephrosis, etc. She also offers minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery to her patients.
Dr. Buchanan’s clinical interests include pediatric urology and pediatric urologic oncology. She is specifically skilled in pediatric, adolescent and young adult urologic oncology, including management of adrenal, renal (Wilms tumor, renal cell carcinoma, angiomyolipoma), testicular/genital (germ cell tumors), retroperitoneal and pelvic (rhabdomyosarcoma) tumors unique to this population. She is also interested in patients with hereditary cancer syndromes such as von Hippel Lindau, tuberous sclerosis and Birt-Hogg-Dube, among others. Additionally, she will provide oncofertility and survivorship programs to patients affected by any malignancy in childhood as these patients frequently experience late effects related to their cancer therapy.
