    Hands down the best doctor I've seen in a long time. Didn't make me feel like I was just a paycheck. She listened to my situation and made me feel like I was a human. Compassion goes a long ways. I would highly recommend her over 95% of the other doctors I have seen in my lifetime. Thank you for being so understanding and amazing at what you do! Don't change who you are, because of you, I have regained my faith in healthcare.

    Not sure my concern was fully addressed Dr. Burger repeatedly assumed my concerns about my problem, rather than listening and making sure the problem I actually wanted solved was addressed. While I have a treatment plan it was frustrating to have repeatedly stated my concerns and not have a direct acknowledgment of my concern and if the treatment plan will address the issue.
