Patient Reviews
Sep 27, 2024
I cannot say enough about my experience with Dr. Birkett. For many years, I have dealt with colon issues that, unfortunately, have progressively worsened. In that time, no one has been able to pinpoint the likely cause or properly suggest treatments, other than Dr. Birkett. He is extremely responsive, immensely knowledgeable, and gifted with explaining very complex medical concerns in the simplest of terms. If you happen to be evaluating and researching gastro specialists, you would certainly benefit speaking with Dr. Birkett.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
