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 Burtka is great!
Have been going to see Doctor Burtka for years, great bedside manner listens well and has a great sense of humor.On the downside his office nurse is horrible she is so rude and you can tell she hates her current life.She used to be so nice when she started working there but something changed along the way and now I dread going to office because of her.

The doctor is very nice but his staff is the worst I’ve ever dealt with. The girl at the front desk is rude and makes it seem like you’re bothering her!

New patient
New patient of Dr. Burtka (having recently "divorced" prior PCP). We seem to be a good fit. Needed doctor who understands my perspective of health care and is willing to work with me.

Dr. Burtka is kind and caring - his follow up on conditions, medications, and follow up is great. Great "bedside" manner. Easy to talk to, and he's funny when its appropriate!!

Love doctor Jim. Too bad some of the office staff are horrible to work with. The attitude over the phone and responsiveness are atrocious. Hope you don’t need an appointment or a referral anytime soon.
