Patient Reviews
Mar 27, 2024
I am very disappointed that Northwestern does not allow patients to write doctor reviews on the Northwestern website.Dr. Burns has my thumbs up. I went for a vocal cord issue. He took the time to listen to my concerns. Had visual contact with me the whole time. He was so nice and understanding. He was very thorough in his exam. He performed a test and explained all the details to me. Very nice staff as well. I was very happy with my experience.
