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.

A caring office
Dr Burg and the staff are very nice and care about you as an individual. They listen to you and observe what ails you and apply the best treatment that fits your exact need as not all cures are for everyone.

Professional and friendly demeanor
I am always leery about visiting a doctor for the first time but when Dr. Burg came into the treatment room, introduced himself to my wife and me with a friendly smile and a hand shake, my caution turned to trust. I visited Dr. Burg’s office on 03/23/2022 because of excruciating pain (10) and swelling of my right knee. He proceeded to analyze the right knee and after asking a lot of questions, he decided to drain the knee. Dr. Burg explained every step during the procedure and was successful in making sure that the procedure was as pain-free as possible. Three days later the swelling was down 95% and I was able to move my right leg with almost no pain. Dr. Burg followed-up and left a message regarding the Ex-ray results. I’m thankful that Dr. Burg was not only concerned about treating my specific pain but he was also concerned about my overall health. I highly recommend Dr. Burg.

Dr. Burg is AMAZING! I can't say enough about him and his staff. I was a patient of his for treatment of Lyme disease. He is caring and understanding, yet up-to-date on the newest treatment options. The ladies who work there go out of their way to help too - calling for authorizations, checking in, finding meds, etc! The only bad thing is he can't be my PCP :-)

I am an 59 yr old woman so I have seen a number of doctors in my long lifetime! Dr Burg IS ABSOLUTELY the Best Doc I have been to—in his specialty field.. Just Look at the other reviews: All accurate, no need to repeat! Anyone familiar with OMT-one procedure offered at the office & what I receive & one Dr Burg performs so well! Using his Knowledge, Skill, Time, & True listening to address pain/rehab issues, he is truly a rarity & a grateful blessing in my life!!

In short, he saved my life. Without getting into specifics, I don’t think any other doctor would have noticed the things he did or explored the options that he did, and I will be forever grateful for all that he’s done for me.

Dr. Burg is extremely knowledgeable about treating the patient as a whole, not just the disease/pain. All the staff are very kind and respectful. His passion to help others is inspiring. He will advocate for his patients in any situation he can. He helps the patient learn how to continue to help their health, even after his treatment. I have witnessed both Dr. Burg and Dr. Berthold help their patients smile even on their worst pain days or during painful/uncomfortable tests. Highly recommend for anyone in any stage of life!

If you are in the market for a physician who has your very best interests in mind, listens intently to your symptoms, and is committed to ferreting out the very best course of treatment , then I highly suggest Dr. Timothy Burg. I am continually impressed by the manner Dr. Burg treats difficult cases and doesn't pass symptoms off. He is interested in finding the most natural ways for your body to heal itself rather than immediately turning to medication or surgery, however Dr. Burg is willing to use every tool at his disposal in order to get his patients closer to feeling 100%. A kinder and more patient focus physician you will not find!

Dr Burg is a great doctor. Diagnosed a problem that 5 hospital and 2 office visits in one week had not been able to figure out. I have never met a doctor that has shown this much knowledge in so many areas. I have reccomened him to many people with some very complex issues and they are equally pleased with him. Genuinely caring. Office staff is equally exceptional.

500 is not enough characters to express my appreciation for Dr. Burg! Unfortunately I am moving before we could reach a resolution with my condition, but I have been SO impressed with the care I've received. He listens intently, explains things clearly, is compassionate and respectful, and he knows his stuff! He knew what my problem was after our first conversation/evaluation (though it took an MRI to prove it), and on two occasions he disagreed (and was right) with reports from other providers.

Dr. Burg treated my back pain with great knowledge and care. His conclusions on what form my treatment should be gave me the most pain relief I have had in twenty years. My appointment was very informative and made me feel as though he would investigate any and all options to relieve my malady. I will continue to see him if these problems come back in the future.
