Dr. Burnett is knowledgeable and wants the best for our son.

The doctor was very nice, but clearly running behind. Spent a little time with us, but I had to keep asking questions to get the information I needed. He seems like a very good doctor, but just stretched too thin.

Doctor was great! Fellow, not so much. While sitting near her, she began to talk to a student that came in with her about my son like I wasn't there! (Very upsetting and poor bedside manner)

DrB really seemed to understand our daughter right away, she warmed up to him easily, he listened to me, was personable, and I respect how knowledgeable he seems and the experience he has.

Dr. Burnette is fabulous! It was a twelve hour round trip but well worth it.
