Dr. Burke listens carefully and regards me as a partner in treating my condition. It is not uncommon for a doctor to treat an older patient by simply telling her what to do and leaving it at that, even when studies have shown the recommended treatment to be inferior. Dr. Burke was never patronizing or dismissive. She was supportive and friendly. I feel lucky to have found her.

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.

Dr. Burke is really at the top of her game, an excellent provider overall. She is knowledgeable about my disease process and possible treatments, but more than that she is really familiar with me, my history, my life and the things that go into decision making for me. She gets right to the point, always spends plenty of time with me, and I never feel rushed during the visit. I feel lucky to have her as my GI specialist and would recommend her without reservation!
