    Being on a fixed income and the high cost of medication, Dr Burton always tries to find the cheapest medication that will still cure my illness

    I recently became VA certified and DR Burton helped me with information about transitioning to VA care. He mentioned a program where I could maintain services for both. Although I choose not to for other reasons, it was still an option. He has been nothing but helpful and professional since I transitioned to him when my first sleep doctor retired or whatnot.

    I’m a retired respiratory therapist and as such I’m very aware of my health issues. Dr. Burton always speaks to me as a patient and a professional and is always up in new or experimental treatments that we discuss at my appointments.

    Dr Burton has always gone above and beyond with sharing his knowledge and addressing my concerns I have dealing with my issues. He takes the time to talk with me and listens to my questions and then thinks about it and gives an answer that I know is based on his experience. He is one of the best doctors I have had the chance to experience.

    I’m 63 years old and have been to many doctors in my life time. I have never been more impressed with a doctor. Dr .Burton took the time to explain prior test results in a manner I could understand. He also took the time to explain the plan going forward in detail. Dr. Burton also allowed and encouraged questions. Best experience with a doctor I’ve ever had.

    Dr Burton listens to what you say instead of just telling you what to do. He is a friendly and caring dr. He comes up with ways to help you that most other drs don’t take the time for.
