Dr. Brugar is amazing! Her PA, not so much. She doesn't know what she is doing and has a terrible touch when examining patients hands. I don't trust her evaluation and I prefer to just see Dr. brugar.
She’s a marvelous doctor
Explains everything very well. Answers all your questions. Very compassionate and patient.
Dr. Burgar is very personable and friendly. She provided patience and caring during my appointment. She took time to listen to my concerns & came up with the next plan of action for my health condition. Thank you!
I thought the visit was helpful but I do not agree that I have arthritis. I was injured at work due to over use in a way that could have been avoided. I think I need to see how this evaluation goes.
Dr. Burgar is the most professional doctor I’ve ever had. She’s such a caring person.
