She was trying to explain everything to me but a lot of it was over my head. I wasn't in a frame of mind to ask additional questions as I was in a bit of shock, and I also worried I would get more answers that were too medically based and I wouldn't understand. She is extremely bright and I wasn't able to follow everything very well.

Dr Burt is a great addition to the team. I've been a patient in this service for 10 years. She gave me info and also spoke with nuerosurgeon and had staff get back to me the next day with the information.

I felt extremely uncomfortable at this visit, with this provider. To begin with, when he came in, she sat directly in front of me (so that our knees nearly touched), not sure if that was a power play or an attempt to make me feel her "concern" & presence for me. Either way, did not work, made me so uncomfortable. She was so close I couldn't even cross or uncross my legs without possibly kicking her. Weird. She then went on talking down to me, I am a 15 plus year survivor of brain cancer, I don't like someone talking to me like I'm stupid. Judging from how young she is, I bet I've been in the brain cancer world longer than she has. She not only was condescending, she used scare tactics to attempt to intimidate me into treatment. All that does is make me want treatment less and trust her even less than that.

Dr. Burt did an initial checking, and found that there was a spot from my surgery that had not healed, and decided not to proceed.
