Daniel T Burzon, MD

I have to say as a Decorated Marine veteran who has many experiences with different Doctors, I’m disappointed by the lack of empathy and consideration by Dr Burzon and his team. They were great in the beginning when I was diagnosed with Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma a rare cancer, and worked with Dr Fam and Dr Lake cohesively bc I was also diagnosed with Colon cancer which was all diagnosed after a colonoscopy in 2024. I have been through genetic testing and worked with the VA to determine where I could have developed this rare cancer and the colon cancer as well. Well, we were able to eliminate through genetic testing that it wasn’t hereditary and the VA has conceded that I was a veteran who served in the Gulf War era and was exposed to toxins being around Burn pits and as an aerial gunner on a CH-53E, I was exposed to fumes and toxic fluids like JP5 and hydraulic fluids and asbestos. Once again the VA conceded that. I was asked by the VA to get a Nexus letter signed by my… physician and when I presented the letter to Dr Burzon, without even reading the file, the letter from the VA or the instructions, he made a decision that he was not going to assist me with getting VA entitlements. He conceded that he could not rule out that the cancer could have come from my time in service but he was not willing to sign the document or give an opinion none the less. I tried to explain to him what I needed but he just dismissed me and asked that I leave the folder for him to reviews and he would let me know in a week. I called back in a week since I did not hear from him and his staff notified me that he was away and would not be back for another week. Which tells me he never was going to look at my medical records or file. Like many people who don’t understand the difficulties of a veteran, I was dismissed and sent away. So I contacted his office and asked for his physician assistant to review and she read me the notes of Dr Burzon the day of my appointment where he stated he would not sign off with no explanation. I urged them to take a second look and she promised me she would talk to him but clearly stated it was not her decision. It would be up to Dr Burzon. Well I received a letter from his office today and he has informed me that as of 8/11/2025 he will no longer be able to treat me as a patient. Any future appointments have been canceled. Urged that since my condition required continued medical attention with a Urologist, he suggested that I place myself under the care of another Urologist without delay. Mind you my last visit I waited patiently an hour and 15 min past my scheduled time, I asked him respectfully to review my file and waited patiently both times to get a response and this is what I received, a termination letter. As I said, I served my country with honor, he was the only urologist I saw and was cared by. I did everything they ask of me to do. I followed his orders to a “T”. I don’t understand why he took such a strong stance not to help. To this day I will be left scrambling to find another Urologist that will work hand in hand with my colorectal surgeon and oncologist and I will have to start my journey all over again bc this Dr had a problem when asked by a veteran to assist. If you are a veteran I would warn you to think twice about choosing Dr Burzon. I’m completely disappointed in his service, his lack of empathy and care. I will be looking for another urologist and will keep you posted as I continue my fight against cancer and against physicians who treat not only their patients like this but most importantly Veterans. This is why I’m giving him a 1 star rating if I could give him a zero star rating I would. Semper Fi

Absolute worst doctor I have ever dealt with. Deserves zero stars. Not sure why this man is a doctor because he clearly does not care about patients and is only concerned about money. Terrible staff as well, but that’s what happens when you have a jerk for a boss. Save yourself from a bad experience and find another urologist.

Doctor to patient interaction was very poor. Was not interested in what I had to say regarding my condition. Conflicting information between the surgery center, office and the doctor.

Caused delay in procedure when patient was excruciating pain due to an extremely large kidney stone he “thought” would pass. A week and a half later and many opioid pain meds later and having to get to another doctor I finally got relief. Was also extremely rude to me, my wife and the nursing staff at Ocean Medical ER who knew the first night I was admitted that a procedure needed to be done ASAP. He should be disbarred as a physician

He is the most rude and arrogant doctor! He cursed at us when we asked questions of him and his staff. We wanted results of prior test before undergoing the next one. I would never, ever recommend this a$$ to anyone!

Terrible bed side manner. Gets easily angered when a question is asked. "Always right" syndrome

He is not a good doctor so mean didn't help me to fix my problem i wouldn't recommend this doctor to nobody

One of the best, caring doctors I have ever known. Been seeing him for the past 15 years.

This will be part 1 of a review b/c I have yet to have the procedure. I have been to two of his offices which is inconvenient to say the least. I can not help but feel if I had gone to the ER a month ago this situation would have been resolved. I have been dealing with kidney stones, hematuria and hydronephrosis for 5 weeks. Each week brings new tests, visits, meds, etc...Last week I was given an Rx to fill only to get to pharmacy to find out they can't fill it. I call the office and they tell me that they had samples for me and I needed to make that 20 mile round trip AGAIN the same day back to the office to get the samples they neglected to give me when I left the office! I am scheduled for surgery next week to FINALLY resolve this issue. I have a severe anxiety about surgery r/t a traumatic prior experience. I have spoken to 6 different staff members and each one has given me a different answer before pawning me off on the next person. I was told an anesthesiologist would call me… - they never did. This tells me two things - they are all lying to me and no one cares about me. I don't see how I can trust them literally with my life if I can't trust them to tell me the truth. I hope when I meet with Dr. Burzon before the sx he will regard me with dignity and address my concerns to my satisfaction. So far the past month has been a nightmare. Part 2 will come after the procedure.

Does not have a bedside manner that many would describe favorably but I like it. He is direct, honest and explains as much as you need to understand. Not particularly warm and friendly but very knowledgeable, competent and direct.
