This was my first visit to this office. Any initial visit during the pandemic is a stressful. The office was very accommodating. The front desk and the back support staff are all excellent. Dr. Burlew took careful history and did a complete pulmonary exam. He took time and went over my chest x-ray and showed me any abnormalities that he noted. He answered all my questions thoroughly and completely. He actually spent time talking and looking at me rather than a computer screen. Appropriate diagnosis was made as were recommendations

The Dr. and his entire staff are what medicine and caring is all about!! Top notch treatment and professionalism all the way. My sister-in-law found him for me and I couldn't be happier with the care. She said the office staff is top notch and they all are, especially Karen!! Finally, someone is taking the time to find the root of my problem. Thank you!!! Aldo V.

Dr. Burlew is an awesome Dr. Any and every time I have had problems with my breathing and called his office he has gotten back to me the same day. He is very companionate and knows what he's doing in his field of Medicine! I would recommend Dr. Burlew to anyone and feel they were getting the best of care.

Dr. Burlew took care of my husband, (as well as myself), over 13 years ago. He and the staff at St. Luke's hospital were amazing. Dr. Burlew had a very difficult diagnostic case and always came to me with answers I could understand. My family will never forget the excellent care that was given to us, and we'll always be appreciative. I'm hoping, Dr. Burlew, that you can help me again. I'm always wondering if there is any more information on angiosarcoma? Of course, most importantly to me is the question of genetics. If you could tell me anything I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you
