My first experience with Dr. Burch was with my grandmother almost 10 yrs ago. Soon after, I was in need of a surgeon and asked for Dr. Burch. He is, in my book, the true definition of what a doctor should be. I will gladly use him and anyone in his family for all of my medical needs. If they are anything like him, I know I will NOT be disappointed.

My experience with Dr. Burch was nothing short of the best. I had to have an unplanned surgery and he was my first choice. I felt confident with the info that he provided and didnt have any second thoughts about proceeding with him as my doctor. He came highly recommended and I will gladly do the same.

This Doctor saved my life, after I came in to the ER with a burst appendix. He was upfront with me before the surgery about the risk involved. He told me that it was more than a 50% chance he was going to have to cut me long was to clean me out, but to my surprise and his skill he was able to preform the surgey laparoscopic. He is a very serious doctor and it reflects in his bedside manner, but when it comes to serious, life threatening situations I don't need jokes, I need a serious surgeon. So I highly recommend this Doctor.

He is a whacko! Likes to inflict pain? He does not believe the patient feels pain...said he does not give infants shots for pain prior to cutting, so why give to adults...
