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.

Outstanding performance and professionalism
Dr. Burgar is not only an incredible physician but always goes above and beyond to make sure her patients are taken care of. I was very impressed by Dr. Burgar’s attention to detail and dedication to making sure everything done was perfectly. I really could not think of anything that could have been done better to insure my recovery. I would recommend her and her team to anyone with an arm injury.

Hand evaluation
Dr. Burgar was very helpful in identifying the issue in the hand. She explained the condition as Vikings disease and gave me a path forward which is what I wanted in addition to finding out what the issue was. All is good and I’m relieved to know what I can do to mitigate this condition over the years that lie ahead.

Very pleased with procedures and results
Dr Burgar performed carpal tunnel surgery on both of my hands, about 1.5 months apart. One was more extensive as it dealt with both the carpal tunnel and another nerve outside of the tunnel. Dr Burgar discovered this additional abnormality during my initial consultation visit with her. She ordered an MRI to confirm her suspicion, which it did. I had been to two previous orthopedic surgeons and neither identified this additional issue. Both surgeries were very successful and I experienced absolutely zero pain or discomfort with either. I have had several office visits in addition to the two surgeries. Each time Dr Burgar and her staff have been profession, very friendly, and taken the time necessary to fully explain the situation, procedure, expected outcome, and to thoroughly answer all my questions. I have been extremely pleased with the entire experience.
