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.

Rude, hostile, threatening and offers zero empathy or treatment options.

Love Dr. McBurney and his wife! Would not want to trust my family with anyone else. He has always called back personally to give test results, visits in the hospital, and calls back promptly when you need him.

Dr. McBurney is a caring and compassionate professional. He takes time to listen to his patients concerns. He explains their illnesses and plan of care. He cares for the whole person. His staff is pleasant and will go out of their way to meet their patient's needs. My teenage daughter adores him.

Unless you actually enjoy paying someone to neglect you, then save your time, money and self respect and run from this doctor as well as his extremely rude staff. His places all concerns on personal family issues and neglects his patients and reprimands you if you confront him about it. Dr prescribed an antibiotic that caused a severe allergic reaction and was 3 weeks before getting a REPLY back from his office refusing to call in a different antibiotic without the cost of an "additional" visit

Dr McBurney has been my personal physician for over 25 yrs. I trust him with my life, and well being. I know his family, he knows mine. It is rare in this day and time to have the kind of relationship with your family doctor that I have. He is truly concerned about your well being. He does not perscribe meds, treatments, or tests you don't need. His alliance is with the patient, not the drug company, or the hospital to fill meds, beds, or use equipment simply because they are there.
