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.

Great Dentist and person
I see the doctor three or more time a year as my teeth are mostly crowns and implants (all my fault). He is keeping my teeth the best he can. I get great treatment by him and his office, never had a better dentist.

I was very disappointed with the care my son received and how we were treated. Initially they seemed friendly and confident they could help my son who needed extensive work done. It was recommended that this work be done under general anesthesia in a hospital setting but we would have to wait before they had space to do this work. I was worried about the 5 month wait but was told this wouldn't be a problem. I asked several times about other options and each time was told that this was the only way they would do this work. Just prior to the date of the surgery they told me insurance would not pay for general anesthesia. They cancelled the surgery and told me that my son was discharged from their care. I had to find a new dentist and thankfully I found an AMAZING provider who has completed the work (it took 4 visits) and it was all completed in the office. While upset by how we were treated by Dr Burdo I am thankful as we found someone who provided less invasive care.

Our 20 year old son with Autism was in need of having his wisdom teeth removed. Dr Burdo could not have been more understanding, caring & compassionate about our situation. The procedure & recovery were flawless!! We are so grateful we found Dr Burdo!! His office is conveniently located, very clean and all of his staff are very friendly! He was definitely worth the additional travel for us and we will continue our son's routine dental care with him.

Since relocating, I needed to find a new dentist after being with the same one for 30 years. I heard great things about Dr. Burdo so I made the switch. The staff was great and Dr. Burdo was very professional, kind and considerate. It was a great experience.

Nice and Clean Office. Sterile practices and a calm and friendly atmosphere. The staff is nice, friendly, and efficient. The most important thing I like is if your appointment is at 10, you will be seen at 10. No long waits in the waiting room!

I left my former Dentist because he no longer took my insurance. The next Dr I went to did not bother to do an oral exam and did not check for oral CA. Dr Burdo is very through in his exam. He explains everything, and recommends what he thinks could or should be done, but does not push you to have work done. His staff are friendly and very competent and through. I feel I get excellent care.

Dr. Burdo has been very thorough with my dental needs. I came to his practice in my 60s and discovered that I needed major dental work to keep my teeth! My previous dentist was not nearly as thorough and did not have the technology Dr. Burdo uses to complete a visual history of teeth. He is friendly and considerate of me as a patient.
