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.

Professional and Compassionate
My first appointment with Dr. Burnett was to discuss an upcoming surgery and review the results of a biopsy. The results were uncertain, and she delivered the news with compassion and care. She then walked me through the surgical procedure in detail, explaining the potential outcomes based on further testing.On the day of my surgery, Dr. Burnett saw me beforehand, took the time to ease my nerves, and made sure I had the opportunity to ask any questions. After the procedure, she met with my husband, thoroughly explaining the surgery and answering all of his questions. Once again, she demonstrated the perfect balance of professionalism and compassion. I am incredibly grateful for her care and highly recommend her.

Dr Burnett is so good at explaining exactly what is going to happen during surgery. She doesn’t make light of anything and even drew a diagram to show us what needed to be done. I feel very confident about her doing my surgery.
