In patients' words

"My visit with Dr. Burns was outstanding. I was very concerned about a problem and knew I had a procedure that he would do. Despite my apprehension after his explanation, the procedure was absolutely easy. He truly knows how to manage the equipment and allay your fears. He explains everything very thorough. You can tell that he cares about his patients and make sure that your questions are all answered."

WebMD patient review of Dr. James Burns

"My experience with Dr. Duyka was the worst care provider experience I've ever had. I would describe him as aggressive, abrasive and dismissive... I felt that he was rushing to get me out the door from the moment he walked into the room and wasn't listening when I tried share what was going on with me."
