He listened to my health problems and increased the dosage of my medicine. He scheduled blood tests and an MRI. Through these tests my condition will be monitored.
Dr.B always listen to my concerns and he always makes me feel better. I don't know where I would be without him.

Front office staff were excellent! Very helpful and informative. Doctor was on top of newest developments and ready to advocate. Highly recommend.
It was a very pleasant appointment. Things went smoothly and it was set for a year from today for a follow-up. It went well. Thank you. 1
I was seen in a timely manner. Dr.Ahmet was prompt and discussed my previous medical history before going on to my present issues. He made suggestions on vitamins and supplements. We set an appointment to take a EMG test for more information and will then discuss the results. I felt comfortable and confident that Dr. Ahmet knew what he was saying.
Call was scheduled at 1230 but I didn't get a call until after 2. I was told Dr was running behind but it was very behind. He did apologize and we did have the appointment. I understand emergencies come up and luckily we made it work
Very professional. Explained things well. Listened well. Good experience.
Nothing at all staff was great and very efficient.
Prescriptions should have been called in before the end of the day. Since it was a Friday I will have to wait until Monday to get in contact with office for prescription information.
Everyone is very polite and friendlyu00A0
Doctor had great bed side manners . Really took the time with me to be very thorough.
The appointment feels rushed, and the provider feels overwhelmed. And I understand he probably sees many patients in a day. But I don't feel like he really had any interest in my particular circumstances or provided any personalized treatment advice.
improve waiting time
My husband and I second visit with this doctor.Weboth were very pleased with him.So far no improvement needed.
Dr Burakgazi, is a great doctor. He's very knowledgeable and kind. Second best neurologist I ever had. Thanks Dr Burakgazi.
The only negative was that once I was in the examining room, I had to wait at least 20 minutes for the doctor to come in.
Did great keep up the good work, everyone there are very friendly
I am totally satisfied with everything every time I have my medical appointments.
Everything was good. Staff friendly and helpful.
Dr Buracgazi was very kind and professional. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. I never felt rushed. I would highly recommend him.
The reason for the 9 rating rather than a 10, is not the dr but the facility ... the patient bathroom needed a serious cleaning, and as I was seen on a rainy day -- the waiting room ceiling was leaking.This is not up to the usual Southcoast Health standards I have experienced.
Very concerned and definitely involved in my health care
I had a bad experience in contacting the provider by calling the office . Left numerous Messages with no reply.
Dr Buraghazi was very professional and pleasant. He listened and explained things clearly and made me feel comfortable. In addition, his medical assistant [Name] was lovely. She has a wonderful personality and made me feel comfortable from the minute she introduced herself. I have suffered from migraines most of my life. Many days they are debilitating. Both of them listened attentively and I never felt dismissed. I am so happy I found this practice thanks to my PCP Dr [Name] I only wish it didn't take so long for a new patient appointment. I do however understand that healthcare has evolved and it is often difficult to schedule an appointment with a provider. I felt hopeful when I left the office.
Office was clean and comfortable. We were met with a smile and a greeting. I was placed in an exam room and seen promptly by the nurse and then the physician.Well done!
The doctor took care of the problem at hand
Dr Burakgazi is amazing. He is truly interested in my care and helping me be healthy. I can't possibly state enough positives about him to do justice.
Dr. Boraghazi was absolutely amazing! He listened to all my needs and was extremely understanding. I am looking forward to working with him in the near future!
Dr. Burakgazi was knowledgeable and kind. He had a med student that was personable and knowledgeable as well. Thank you.
I was treated with courtesy by everyone with whom I interacted. The doctor listened and responded to my questions. It was a good visit.
Dr Burakgazi has been my neurologist since 2021. Excellent at his job. Very very patient. Professional;yet pleasant. He's amazing.
I felt listened to. I was given choices for my care. I also have to give a shout out to [Name] that did my vitals and took my history. She was so personable and kind. Such a great office.
