Patient Reviews
Aug 11, 2022
Dr. Burns is truly a phenomenal doctor. He actually listens, validates concerns and advocates. He actually cares and takes the time to go over symptoms thoroughly and explains. My mom has to see GI and I made sure she got in with him. Definitely one of the best doctors I’ve ever had.
