Very caring and knowledgeable. Doesn’t rush you and listens to what you say. Only one that could figure out my lungs and give me proper treatment/medication for my Non-Asthmatic Bronchitis! 5 stars all the way!!! Great bedside manner and talks to you where you can understand what he is saying or explaining!

Very few doctors try to listen and respond diligently and patiently as Dr Burnaugh. He helps you to feel relaxed and always responds in a reassuring manner. I wish more doctors took as much interest in helping me to understand my condition and care.

Dr. Burnaugh’s treatment of my parent was horrendous. He was condescending, he was unkind, he was rude and his care was sub par at best. Please do yourself a favor and RUN FROM THIS MD. Your life actually may depend on it.

This doctor is a terrible communicator. He is pompous, condescending and down right rude. He demands respect but does not earn it. He refused to provide us with important information regarding my parent’s treatment. He was callous and uncaring. Run do not walk from this guy.

I thought that the staff both in the office and in the sleep center were knowledgeable and courteous. Dr. Burnaugh spent a lot of time with me and explained what the work up would entail. Overall I thought the total experience was excellent.

Dr. Burnaugh saw my 87 yr old mother for a few years. She has serious health issues and he would discuss recipes with her. I do not live there or I would speak to him myself . Since then, she has seen a professional doctor, who addresses her needs.

My primary care physician ordered a barium swallow and suggested to send results to Dr Burnaugh a supposed specialist. Dr Burnaugh refused to comment because he didn't order the test Both myself and my primary considered this totally unprofessional Needless to say I'm changing Doctors

Unprofessional office staff. They say they will call and they don't. Takes a month to get in to see the doctor
