I took my Mom to Dr. Burma for all her heart issues for many years & saw how incredibly kind & conscientious he was throughout the years. He is the best (knowledgeable) doctor I have ever seen, & has helped me so much with my health issues & how to handle them emotionally. He is the only doctor who actually "reads" My Chart & is aware of "all" my health issues besides my heart. I think he was the co-author of "Emotional Intelligence" because he really does know how to connect with people.
Very good. Physician was helpful about ordering medication at a cost savings.
