Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

No Time for Patients
Dr. Burgess has been my cardiologist for roughly 3 years. It is very difficult to get an appointment in a timely manner (apparently has too many patients). After a recent hospital stay, I was told to follow up with my cardiologist in 2 to 3 days. The soonest I could get in to see Dr. Burgess was 4 weeks. And now I'm waiting on one of his examining rooms 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment time and I was here 45 minutes before my scheduled appointment. Very disappointed.

Getting an appointment online was super simple. I only had about a 5 minute wait time and the staff was super nice. Dr. Burgess is my mother's physician and I really like his honesty and bed side manner.

Dr. Burgess has been my Cardiologist for several years and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He takes time to listen to your concerns and give you great advice for your problems. I would recommend Dr. Burges to anyone that need a Cardiologist.

Always takes the time to understand you as a person and any concerns you might have. Consider him a member of the family (a good one :)).

I called Dr. Burgess' office to establish myself as a new patient. Dr. Burgess was suggested to me as a cardiologist upon my relocation to the area. When I called, I was given an appointment right away and when I arrived for the appointment, the staff greeted me immediately. Within a few minutes, I was called to see Dr. Burgess. Overall the visit was very thorough, Dr. Burgess took the time to review my history, and conducted an exam. All was normal and I was rescheduled for a 6-month follow up. Overall, I felt confidence in Dr. Burgess and his staff to handle my health needs going forward. I'd recommend him if you need a Cardiologist.

I went for a second opinion and he took up a lot of time reviewing my results and explaining things very thoroughly. I was very happy that I went to see him. He was very easy to talk to. I would definitely give him 5 Stars
