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.

Office staff rude and nasty. Dr. Burkey himself displayed the worst care towards my 93yr old mom than any doctor ever. Dr. Burkey blew her off in her last stage of her life. Horrifying!

I have known Dr. David Burkey for over 25 years professionally, I have witnessed the top care that he has given his patients. He delivers the utmost in excellent care to all of his patients. When my mother needed care, we selected him. The decision was an easy one. Remember, I had already witnessed his skill and caring demeanor on many patients through the years.He has been my mother’s cardiologist for several years now. He is a knowledgeable, compassionate cardiologist.

Dr. Burkey has been my doctor for about 30 years. He saved my life 30 years ago when I had a heart attack. I have been going to him ever since. I would never think of going anywhere else.
