Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My wife & I have been patients of Dr. Burris for 20+yrs. We have nothing but the upmost respect & trust for this excellent Dr. Difficult to find a Dr that will treat the root cause of your problem & not the symptons. Thank you Dr. Burris.

Excellent Doctor
Have been a patient for about 20 years. He is professional and easy to talk with, cannot believe some of the negative reviews. He is a excellent endocrinologist.

Dr. Burris doesn't listen & is very opinionated. He can be confrontational & seems rather narcissistic with lack of respect for the patient.

He’s an exceptional doctor. Very polite and kind, and I would recommend him to friends and family or strangers. I trust him completely to meet my health needs. I have been going to him at least thirty some years, and I have yet to be disappointed. God bless Dr. Burris.

Dr. Burris is very attentive to my situation and offers the best advice to my problems. He is extremely knowledgeable and is able to talk to you using non medical terms that are easily understandable. He and all of his staff are very friendly and are willing to assist you with your problem as if you are the only one in the office.

Dr. Burris is by far the most personable endocrinologist I have ever seen. He was the first doctor to find that I had Hashimoto's, and I am thankful to have a little more understanding of how this is affecting my system. I have always felt like he took the time needed to explain everything, and has even been accessible quickly via the patient portal. I am sad that I can no longer keep him as my doctor since we moved out of state, but felt it was important to let others know the value he adds as a kind, knowledgeable, thorough doctor.

Dr Burris is the most compassionate, capable doctor I've ever received care from. I've recommended him to a friend in need of an endocrinologist and she told me that he saw how much pain she was in and put rushes on her labs in order to be able to get her the medication she needed faster. Thats the kind of doctor he is. He genuinely cares for his patients. Despite us meeting very infrequently, he can look at me and tell how my thyroid is working and what I need. I couldn't recommend him more. He exemplifies what every doctor should strive to be.

Dr. Burris is genuine and honest. He stays current with technology and is always reachable via the patient portal. He shows true concern for my health and well-being, even when that means being honest with me about what I'm doing wrong. His support is tremendously appreciated.

This man really made me feel very comfortable. He is extremely personable and took the time to explain everything to me. Coming from a patient with “white coat syndrome” he immediately put me at ease, made me comfortable and really is just a down to earth guy. Can’t thank him enough for my experience today or praise him enough.
