If you want a doctor who actually listens to what you say, is willing to work with you rather than just tell you what to do, I recommend Dr. Buirkle. He will not belittle you for doing your own research, he’s willing to discuss his advice with you, and he really cares. He also realizes that everybody is unique and is willing to take a pragmatic approach to medicine. The patient’s health is the primary concern in his practice. When I first went to him, I had a long standing cough; if I had bothered to do my own research, I would have found out that it was a side effect of a medication my previous physician had prescribed for me. Dr. Buirkle spotted it just by glancing at my chart after I told him the problem.
