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.

Dr Burnell is an amazing & caring Doctor. I would recommend anyone to see him.

My husband and I have been going to this doctor for over 10 years. Has always been easy to talk to about health concerns and diagnosis, have never had a problem with anything misdiagnosed. He goes above and beyond in my opinion.

Dr. Burnell should have been a pharmacist instead of a physician because all he does is give medicine. He doesn’t check to see how the medication counteracts with each other. My parent ended up in ICU due to an overdose. Thank God for her new physician who saved her life by simply adjusting her medications. Also on a separate occasion, she made 3 different appointments for the same symptoms. After the third visit, he finally ordered bloodwork. A week later the office confirmed that her bloodwork was fine. Three days later she was hospitalized with several deficiencies and other health problems. I would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy.
