    Dr. Burke and another physician who works with her were most helpful and thorough in efforts to assess any particular concerns I may have beyond the more typical information they requested. Dr. Burke made a special effort to spend additional time with me and always increases my knowledge base on FAP. Most helpful appointment.

    Always have a most excellent experience with my Cleveland Clinic providers. Dr. Burke and the other physician on this video call were most empathic, listened, provided helpful educational information relayed to my healthcare, and could not have been more pleasant at all times, never seemed rushed or discounted any concerns I might have expressed.
