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.

Highly recommended, ENT Specialist.
Reviewed the reason for my appointment with him to confirm my concernReviewed the procedure and the findings of the procedure. Recommended a follow up schedule based upon the findings to keep my situation from being a larger future issue. Gentle and VERY thorough in removing impacted earwax.

Unfocused Care, Lacking Patient Attention
My experience with Dr. Burkhart was frustrating. On my first visit, he cleaned my ear and prescribed antibiotics and drops for an ear infection. At my follow-up, the infection had improved, but I still had pressure and ear popping. He cleaned out more debris and suggested an auditory exam at the next visit, which I felt was unnecessary given my symptoms. When I declined, he became dismissive, implying that without the exam, he wouldn't be able to fully treat the ear infection. He spent much of the time staring out the window instead of addressing my concerns. It felt like he was pushing unnecessary add-ons, more like a car salesman than a doctor. With high out-of-pocket costs, I didn’t think an auditory exam would help with my ear infection. I will not be returning and plan to seek a second opinion from a more attentive doctor.

Dismissive
Dr barely had time for me. I waited over an hour and he spent less than minutes with me and seemed bothered that I had questions. His only solution was to schedule me for another appointment with a different doctor in 4 months. I left his office feeling like I should just give up. Doctors shouldn't make you feel like that.

Dr. Burkhart was thorough in his explanation regarding the problems with my nasal structure that was causing chronic sinusitis. The surgery he performed has completely improved my breathing(sinus/septoplasty/bone spur removal/turbinate). Aesthetically, my nose was very crooked and he straightened my septum perfectly. The results of his surgery have been better than expected both in correcting the issue and physical appearance.

I saw Dr. Burkhart due to trouble with hearing in my left ear. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my treatment by him. The hearing in my left ear not only came back, but was better than the hearing in my right ear. I would happily recommend him to others with hearing issues.

Was referred to this Dr by an audiologist for hyperacusis symptoms. Spent less than 5 mins w me and referred me to audiologist at OSU where he said OSU was ‘doing some things with hyperacusis’. The OSU audiologist knew nothing about this condition. They offered no therapy or solution. So I called back to Dr Burkhardt’s office to ask if I needed to see someone else at OSU- since he had referred me there because ‘there were doing some things w hyperacusis’. Left detailed message w his medical assistant and SHE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I understand that this is a rare condition that is not well understood- but I feel like I’ve been blown off here. Sent on a wild goose chase just to get me out of his office. And charged 170.00 for a 5 minute visit and referral that was useless. First rule of medicine is ‘do no harm’. When you don’t treat people like human beings that’s the first thing you do- harm.
