Patient Comments
Dr Burnell is exceptionally caring and supportive . She communicates her knowledge easily and answers questions easily
Dr Burnell has consistently been attentive and concerned while addressing my medical issues. She was incredibly supportive when a medication caused me breathing difficulties: she promptly discontinued it and then prescribed it in a manner that made my body more receptive to the necessary medication. I always wear gloves because I use public transportation, and Dr Burnell kindly replaced the pair I'm wearing, with a new one, providing several extra pairs for future use. I particularly appreciate that she takes the time to notice and perform such acts of kindness.
Dr. Burnell is a wonderful physician that answers all my questions, discusses my course of treatment, and explains all medical options.
It's probably not very professional to say this, but I love Dr. Burnell. She is, in my view, the model of a physician:caring, compassionate, communicative, and exceptionally trained.
