    How was your appointment with Dr. Burke?

    Feb 02, 2023
    The staff was friendly and made me very comfortable. Since this was a pre-surgery visit, I was a little apprehensive; however, Dr. Burke and his staff gave me a sense of medical competence and reliability. I left with a feeling of complete confidence in Dr. Burke.
