Everyone was very helpful.
Dr. Burgar was great. She asked me relevant questions and she listened to my concerns. Together we came up with a treatment. Now if insurance can do their thing in a timely manner, I’ll be on the road to recovery. Thank you Dr. Burgar.
Always kind and patient.
Dr Burgar was thorough in her exam and assessment. She listened to my concerns and made me feel valued as the patient.
