    Dr. Burkhead was warm and kind and considerate. He efficiently corrected the problem right away and gave me some helpful advice. And he gave me reassurance regarding a situation that was causing me some anxiety. He has an attitude of concern for the well-being of the individual patient. He is a wonderful doctor and a beautiful person as well. Multicare is fortunate to have this doctor on their staff.

  • Oct, 15 2023
    Many doctors present as technical, indifferent, and in a rush to get on to the next patient. This doctor did not. And often doctors appear to be too immersed in their own agendas to listen to their patients. I know Dr. Burkhead listened and I know he heard me. He was reassuring, understanding, positive, and considerate. It was a brief, routine procedure, yet his kind and inspiring words will remain with me always. Kindness heals. And that healing can take place on all levels. Dr. Burkhead is the sort of doctor who everyone hopes to find, but rarely does. I was so thankful for this very positive experience.

    Did not confirm my identity, did not discuss or request my permission before proceeding with a needle biopsy. He just assumed that I knew that should be happening and that it would be done. Notes on the visit are incorrect as well.

    Every thing was extremely satisfying. I didn't have any bad experience. Thank you
