Patient Reviews
May 30, 2024
He made me feel like everything was going to be alright on my first visit. Dr. Buroker even ushered me to get my blood work when I knew he had better things to do. He listens to his patients and is very thorough. Oh, he will give you nick-name. At 50, I didn't expect that but coming from him, it was well appreciated and funny. I'm a 6 year breast cancer survivor.
