It's rare when you are seen by a compassionate doctor, not one that makes you feel like they rather be anywhere else but in the same room with you.
From the moment he walked in, Dr. Burkholder sincerely greeted me and listened intently to everything I told him, answered all of my questions. Did not feel rushed at all.
Kind doctor and staff. I highly recommend seeing him.

Dr. Burkholder is an amazing doctor and helped me tremendously. I was at my wits end and in a lot of pain.

Best doctor I have ever met! 100% recommended!!
August 4, 2023Nodirbek A.Verified patient
The Doctor was a true professional. He was polite, funny and informative and I would definitely recommend him to others.
The office staff leave a lot to be desired, and patients were blocking access to the Kiosk machines. They had set up their "talking area" in front of the machines as though they were at their own homes!
July 8, 2023Jeffrey J.Verified patient
I felt at ease throughout my visit. The front desk ladies and nurses made me feel welcomed even though I arrived with 2 toddlers, they did they best to accomadte us.
Dr. Burkholder was also amazing with my children, he interacted with them whenever they attempted to distract us.
Dr. Burkholders was attentive to my concerns, provided practical ways to alleviate the symptoms and did not force any unnecessary procedures at me.
