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.

I was there for a pre surgical clearance. Dr. Burket and staff are always very congenial and helpful. Dr. Burket also updated a medication for me while I was there. He answered all my questions and gave me reassurance that my health was good for my upcoming surgery. I felt reassured and he prayed for my wellbeing during and after surgery. He has a comforting and caring manner that helps his patients feel confident. I highly recommend Dr. Butler.

My visit at Austin Heart in LaGrange, Texas, will stand out as one of the best appointments ever. Everyone was kind, considerate and professional. I honestly felt that I was genuinely important. I had written down some questions for Dr. Burkett and his answers gave me the peace of mind I needed. I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment.

At my first visit with Dr. Burket, I felt completely at ease and confident that he is a kind and caring doctor, very knowledgeable and an expert in cardiac patient care. He sat facing me and listened to my concerns, then we discussed options and a treatment plan based on his recommendations. After asking, he closed our visit by taking my hand and praying with me. A true gentleman and a wonderful doctor!

Recent prop visit for surgery needed ekg and clearance. Staff, PA Sarah and Dr Burket all very efficient and professional. This was my 3rd yearly check up with Dr Burket and I always feel well cared for and comfortable. Dr Burket takes time to ask and answer and to listen and to pray with you for health and well-being. Thumbs up from me all the way!

Dr. Burket brings outstanding credentials to his particular practice of health care. As appreciated (and important) are his clarity of communication, immediate response when we had areas of concern, and caring attitude.

Dr. Burket is an amazing physician...I have never felt rushed, although I saw many patients in the waiting room, and what I truly respect is the fact that he listens to you. I imagine if it were a dire emergency, he would tell you what procedure is going to be done; but in a normal appointment if you are hesitant to move forward on his suggestion, he listens to your thoughts and takes the time to discuss the pros and cons. He is compassionate, very intelligent and what I really like, takes the time to explain test results, possible upcoming procedures, etc. At the conclusion of my appointment, he always asks if it is okay for him to say a prayer with you, and during that prayer, he prays for you and your specific issue.

I am so very pleased with the experience I have had with Dr. Burket. From the time I started with him I have had nothing but a great experience. He has treated me with the upmost respect and he has a way of making feel like I am so important when he walks through that door. I can be so nervous when I arrive for an appointment but when I leave I have total peace. My favorite is the prayer time. That is so important to me. I trust him wholeheartedly.

I recently went to the Austin Heart Hospital for a wellness check, and Dr. Burket was my dr. I hadn't seen him in about 4 years. He was quite gracious and answered my questions without appearing to be in a rush, as is with many drs. I felt like my questions were answered and his staff was very attentive and helpful. We said a prayer before my visit ended, and I found that also very comorting. Would def recommend Dr Burket and the Austin Heart Hospital
