She's a great doctor. Just wish that anytime I see a doctor I didn't feel like I am being rushed out other door. She listens and is wonderful but I feel, like with any doctor that I'm just in the way or something.
I really love that she is professional and thorough. She's easy to talk with, listens to my concerns, and gives great feedback. I never feel rushed with her.
She is wonderful
Dr. Burstein does a wonderful job at not only curating a welcoming and supportive environment, but is also great at keeping you informed and helping you make the best decisions possible when it comes to your health
Dr. B is truly one of the best physicians I've ever had, and definitely the best primary care provider. I'm so grateful for the heartfelt, kind, and patient care she always provides. She includes me in my treatment process so we're working together to help create a better quality of life. I love to love her!
Dr. Burstein is great at reassuring me about my worries and is very knowledgeable

Dr Burstein is very thoughtful and thorough!
I've been very happy with Dr. Burstein. She listens well and is willing to try different treatment options to deal with my various health issues. I'm very happy with the care I've received.
Attentive, knowledgable, patient and fun loving.
Dr. Burstein took her time and reviewed my chart from Cleveland clinic while I was there. She did not rush, she answered all my questions and offered sound medical advice. It was truly a totally different experience than I've had in years. She's the best.

A wonderful physician who treats you like family.
I met her in October 1994, when she was treating a relative of mine, and I loved her from then on. Her attention and personal treatment of patients... I love Dr. Valeria [TRANSLATED]
Dr Burstein is considerate of my personal circumstances and thorough in her care. She always looks for the most right solution & creates a friendly, supportive environment for patients.
I remember when Dr. Burstein first began practicing at the Centerville clinic, and she was always open. Now, less than a year later, she can sometimes be all the way booked out an entire month. She genuinely cares about you as a person, and is practicing treating patients, not practicing being a doctor. I absolutely love her, and am so very grateful she's a key player on my management team.
Dr. Bernstein truly cares about her patients. I'm so grateful for the time she takes to explain things clearly and help me understand my health and options. I'd been dealing with an undiagnosed condition for years. Despite seeing multiple doctors who treated my symptoms temporarily, I never got real answers. I resigned myself to thinking this was just how things were and I'd never know why. Dr. Bernstein was the first person to suggest the right testing after I mentioned my history during a routine appointment. For the first time, I have answers and an actual treatment plan. I cannot express how grateful I am to finally have a doctor who connected the dots and gave me the tools to manage my health.
Dr. Burstein is always kind, compassionate, and patient with my questions and concerns.
Dr. Burstein is great! I've seen her a couple times and she never treats me like she's in a rush to see her next patient. She asked me about allergies up front which actually resulted in a different drug being prescribed. I appreciated her asking up front to avoid a whole fiasco when I went to get the medication.
Dr. Burstein showed genuine compassion and exceptional care during my visit. I felt heard, respected, and truly supported'an outstanding experience.
She is just super as a person and a Dr or MD
Dr. Burstein is a great provider. Always listens carefully to us and really tries to find solutions. I always feel so cared for when we see her. I highly recommend her!
I've had consistently positive interactions with Dr. Burstein.
My daughter recently had her first appointment with Dr. Valerie Burstein after transitioning from pediatric care, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Dr. Burstein immediately made her feel comfortable, listened carefully to all of her concerns, and took the time to address each one with patience and understanding. It was such a relief to find a physician who is both knowledgeable and genuinely compassionate. The entire visit was positive and reassuring, and my daughter left feeling confident and well cared for. We highly recommend Dr. Burstein to anyone looking for excellent, attentive medical care.
The doctor is great and professional. I'm happy that she is my doctor.
She is really caring. She is patient always. listening with intent. That means a lot to me. Thank you!

Amazing doctor! Dr. Burstein is very knowledgeable, great listener, and willing to investigate on small to complex issues. I have seen over a dozen of medical providers, and she was the first one to take me seriously. Dr. Burstein has been easy to contact and get help for regular ailments and super great with referring/coordinating care with specialists for things outside of her scope. I really trust her to help me make the best decisions for my health.
I hadn't been to a general care doctor for 12 years because of negative experiences in the past with healthcare, but I've been struggling so much with my health I needed help. Dr. Burstein and her assistant were very kind and skilled. They alleviated my fears of going to see the doctor.

I had a visit to establish care and get assistance with several concerns I had and it went very well, I felt like she took the time to listen to me and valued my input and information. The visit didn't feel rushed and at the end of the visit I felt hopeful and relieved to have a provider who truly took the time to know me and help me

Keep being honest. Tell the truth in your response and express your honest desires for improving your skills.
Dr. burstein is great! She went over all of the possible side effects and issues and let me know what to expect. It isn't a comfortable procedure and she put me at ease and distracted me from the unpleasantness.
My wife and I changed Doctors and went to Dr. Bernstein. She is honest and genuine about our issues and care
She seems like a really good doctor. I've only seen her once but I think I'm glad she's my doctor now. I like that she included some paperwork that described my purpose of the visit which was cool because there were somethings I forgot about that were included in the papers and I would've definetly spaced them had she not included them.
Dr Burstein in an amazing doctor! She is so friendly and patient. Takes time to ensure you understand and answers questions to the best of her ability.
While we were consulting I could feel his dedication and professionalism. [TRANSLATED]
This Dr is very knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommended!
She takes the time and patience to listen to what I have to say. She is the reason we left our previous doctor and started with her
We had been looking for a new dr when our past one couldn't see my husband until January 3rd. He had spent 2 days in a hospital just before thanksgiving and was told to follow up with his PCP. Tried to make an appt but they said there wasn't an appt available until January 3. The gal on the phone to make the appt gave us the opportunity for a quicker appt and the next day, we saw Dr Burstein and were hooked from the moment we walked in.
Dr. Burstein took her time and asked a ton of questions to clarify. Then responded thoughtfully to each of my many questions.
She was great and we changed from the doctor we had to her
Very attentive, great personality and very knowledgeable!
Very thorough and very informative. Definitely would recommend to family and friends!
Dr. Burnstein was awesome. She asked good questions and listened. She made me feel important and kindly gave me advice. I also appreciate that she corrected me when I made an incorrect statement about one of my medications, which made me feel like she cares about me and my well-being.
Dr Burstein is amazing. I had several concerns. She listened to me, followed through with tests and X-rays, and messaged me with important information.
I would recommend Dr. Burstein to all. She did a great job.
