Very friendly and knowledgeable
Very thorough
Dr. Burford is awesome as he is very easy to talk to and discusses details in easy to understand terms. He is very caring and truly seems concerned about your health. Last appointment I had with him, he took the time to discuss a couple of non related issues I was having and gave me a plan for one and set up a referral with another doctor for the other. He has my myasthenia gravis issue in total remission, which has had a great effect on my quality of life. Five star plus!
Dr. Buford is a good listener. He's a good doctor. He cares about me and I can recommend him always.
Dr. Burford was phenomenal. He was thorough, asked a ton of good questions, was very straightforward and honest with me. I would highly recommend him.
All good
Dr. Burford and his fellow were wonderfully supportive and encouraging. I felt like they heard me out and will help figure out why I have not felt good for the last four years. They are astute and compassionate.
Provider was amazing. Very knowledgeable and good at explaining, including things I hadn't heard before. Very committed to making sure I knew which options I had and which ones I wanted to explore.
Dr. Burford is a great listener and communicator. He was very easy to talk with. He was very friendly as well. Like him a lot!
Everything great
Dr was excellent. Talked to me until he got the information he needed to help me with my neuropathy. I felt heard and that there are things that can be done to help me.
Disappointed. Was hoping for someone who would look for options for me vs me bringing options.
Again could have talked through what the appt would involve
Very thorough in exam and condition information
Hands down the best experience I've had with a provider in years, he listened, was very thorough and seemed to really care
Very concerned about neuropathy, how the medication was working and side effects
Very thorough
He is the best.
All went very well

He is great, wish he was a primary care physician also
Good

Great Doctor very concerned
Listened to my questions and discussed them with me
Very good
Absolutely professional & accurate
Great
Professional and easy to discuss medical conditions
I like both Dr B and his fellow. My entire appt lasted 3 hours. Me mostly waiting. This was an initial consultation for a difficult ongoing medical issue previously not diagnosed. So I imagine it took them a bit to read my charts and get some sort of idea what they were dealing with.
Dr. Burford is wonderful good listener, thorough, learned new info on my condition, great partner on my healthcare team, kind and friendly.
All good
He was very interested in my illness and what he could do to help.

Was first encounter. Very satisfied
Outstanding visit with Dr. Matthew Burford. Explained everything in detail and answered all my questions and offered a referral to test my genetic (DNA) to further explore my neurological condition. Overall showed extreme empathy, answered ALL my questions and offered medical advice.
