Dr Burhan is compassionate, excellent listener, patient, thorough, accurate diagnostician, appropriately concerned and interested in his patient's quality of life outside of his office. I have been a patient for 5 years. I moved to Las Vegas over 2 years ago and I continue to drive back to BHC, AZ for appointments with Dr. Burhan.

I have been seeing Dr. Burhan for almost 10 years. I have also recommended him to friends who had similar problems as mine and they have been satisfied also. He listens, he explains and answers questions. I am so glad I see him. Wish I felt the same about my primary care doctor. We are lucky to have him working in our area.

I have gone to Dr. Chinikhanwala almost as long as he has been in the area; he is the best there is. He is an accurate diagnostician, a kind human being and does not believe in overprescribing medication. If he needed a kidney I'd offer him mine, that is how highly I think of him as a physician as well and a human being, He lives the Hippocratic oath to a "t".

By far and wide the best physician around and I should know, I've gone there ever since he came to Laughlin, Nevada years ago.He is kind and caring and pays attention to his patients. He is a wonderful physician and a caring human being.
