    Dr Burke is amazing. She listened and cared. She spent close to an hour with my husband and I. I have had a difficult time the last 2 years at a different hospital, and I feel such relief that Dr Burke will be treating me now. She genuinely cares about her patients and I am very lucky to have her as my doctor.

    Dr. Burke and her staff are great! I never feel rushed at my appointment and Dr Burke has been able to put me in remission with my UC due to her thorough review of my history and making changes in meds and recommendations on diet, etc. Her dietician is excellent. My previous gastro doc was good, but did not think outside of the box for my treatment. I am very lucky to have found Dr. Burke.

    Just to clarify, results from any testing in the last six months were not communicated by anyone from the provider's office; however, results were available in the portal and I accessed them there. All results were within normal limits. Whenever anything has been out of range, it is always communicated by someone in the office along with next steps.
