I get nervous going to new doctors. Because some of them make you feel like you don't know what your are talking about. Dr. Burstedt made me feel at ease. He answered my questions, didn't get in a hurry to get me out of the office. He went over step by step what we will be going to do next to help me with the pain I have. Thank you Dr. Burstedt.
