Dr. Burkert is prepared for my visits and answers all of my questions in an easy to understand manner. Never feel rushed and his office staff is THE BEST. I am fortunate to have a caring, knowledgeable and friendly person!

Dr Burkert is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very caring. He does not keep you waiting, he answers all your questions and is respectful if you do not except all of his recommendations. I highly recommend him.

Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.

I was a patient of Dr. Burkert for 13 years until I moved away. I always found him competent and thorough. He never rushed through appointments, always listened to my concerns and questions, and gave me good, easy to understand answers. He is conservative in his treatment plans and doesn't over-prescribe. Office waiting times were short and his staff was helpful and professional, albeit not particularly outgoing.

He sends you to a specialist. That's all he does. Oh... He collects money.

Dr, Burkert is very good and I have been a patient of his for decades. However, the newer office staff is EXTREMELY RUDE! How sad to see this unpleasant turn of events. His practice will suffer, needlessly.

Best Dr I've ever had and I'm now 90. I've outlived a few in my life and Dr Burkert is the best so far.

I have been a patient of Dr. Burkert since he started his practice. His office is run effeciently. He has always given me the time I needed and was spot on with his diagnostic ability. No he is not a glad- hander. He is to the point and on task. There is very little wait time in the office and that is due to his efficient time management. He is caring and compassionate and I would never go to anyone else.

This doctor does not thoroughly listen to your problems or sickness. He just blows off whatever you tell him. He does not like to be told what another doctor has diagnosed. Not very friendly! Doesn't say a whole lot. I dislike him and I'm currently looking for a new doctor.
