    I really like Dr Burris. He is very good about keeping me updated on testing results and any questions I may have he gets right back to me usually the same day.

    Dr. Burris has been my primary doctor for over 35 years. I have changed my insurance provider just to keep him as my primary.

    I've been with Dr. Burris for years. I've never been dissatisfied with him, or his staff. They are all excellent and give wonderful care. None of my other doctors have ever called me in the evening (after hours), to discuss my test results or a question I may have had. Dr. Burris does this regularly.

    Dr. Burris has always treated me with compassion and genuine care. He takes the time to listen to my concerns, especially the side effects I have experienced during chemotherapy, and prescribed medication that helped relieve my stomach pain. He also went above and beyond by helping me find an imaging center within my medical network for my echocardiogram, which my oncologist requested. Thanks to his assistance, I was able to avoid unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses. I truly appreciate his kindness, professionalism, and dedication to my care.

    I would give Dr. Burris a 10 out of 10 because he consistently provides exceptional care and professionalism. I have been a patient of his for more than 30 years, and he has always been thorough, attentive, and genuinely concerned about my well-being. He takes the time to listen, clearly explains options and treatments, and never makes me feel rushed. His follow-through and communication are outstanding, and I have complete confidence in his judgment and expertise. Over the years, he has earned my trust, respect, and gratitude, which is why I would enthusiastically recommend him to family, friends, and anyone seeking outstanding medical care.
