Dr. Burton Kennedy is a top notch doctor! He took his time to listen to my concerns and he thoroughly checked out everything that he could for my initial office visit! His personality is an added bonus, he just makes you feel very comfortable! I cannot say enough good things about him! RG - Boone, NC

At first Dr kennedy seems knowledgeable ; however , my experience and feeling is that while he may very well be bright and lots of book knowledge he is not a very good diagnostician. Nor does he seem interested. It appears he is a young physician who should e on top of his profession but very "old school". He offers no real hope but sits and shrugs his shoulders and smiles. I am grateful for the Doctors I had in stroke rehab and therapist I have had throughout my recovery for my progress. Dr. Kennedy appears to have no real interest in his patients positive recovery.

Dr. Kennedy is kind and patient. I have seen numerous neurologists across the country and most seem to be elitist and condescending. Dr. Kennedy is the antithesis of that.
