Dr Burgar is the best!
Very through
Very personable and easy to talk to.
Dr. Burgar is excellent! She diagnosed an issue in my finger / my wrist and was the first Dr. to really listen to me. She providing a detailed treatment plan that was straightforward, within the same appointment. I would highly recommend her, she cares about her patients!
I had carpal tunnel operations on both hands, about 1.5 months apart. One was more extensive as there was another nerve issue outside the tunnel that required a larger incision and a more involved procedure. Dr Burgar discovered this abnormality after two previous doctors failed to do so. Both surgeries could not have gone better. I had absolutely zero pain or discomfort.
