Pleasant, on time, good experience
Love Dr. B! He is amazing! Always listens and plans with me.
Dr Burakgazi, Is an amazing doctor!. He has an amazing bed side manner, which not all doctors have. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and professional!. I tell all my family and friends how he really cares about my migraines. He always asks how am I doing and really cares if his treatment is helping?. I always thank him for everything he does. Im so lucky to have him as my doctor!.
Dr. Burakgazi is a phenomenal doctor. He listens and truly cares about his patients wellbeing. He made sure that I understood about what was going on health wise. He has always listened to me and my concerns. He has never made me feel rushed. I highly recommend him to everyone I hear that needs a neurologist. I have had others before him and they were cold and really made me feel like a number. He makes sure that I feel as if my health is in my own control. I am so grateful that he was referred to me years ago.
I appreciate the Dr talking to me and taking my fears and worrys into consideration and comfort that I'm ok and we will keep a eye on my problem and deal with it together
We were seen quickly. You were made aware of our concern of possible stroke and you addressed it professionally.
Doctor was nice and showed sympathy when I told him about my wife passing and several other items that was causing me depression and affected my overall health. His assistant was very careful and explained in detail how the testing would effect me. over all it wasn't a bad experience. Thank You.
Dr Burakgazi has been my neurologist for more than 5 years now and I could not have asked for a better doctor. He's excellent at what he does. He's been so attentive about my health from day one. Extremely patient and polite. He goes above and beyond to provide me with the best care possible.He makes sure my scans are up to date. My medicine is the best of the best. He's just an overall good man and doctor. Thank you, Dr B. for taking such good care of me.
Dr. Listened to all my concerns, and he explained everything, all the tests he'd like to have done. And having his staff set up all my tests and appointments. Trust him completely.
This televisit was so much better than going in for a 15 minute visit to touch bases on my condition and my meds.
My appointment was scheduled for 11:30am, I waited for 30 mins with no update. I used my hour lunch break for this appointment. It wasn't until I asked the staff for an update did they tell me anything. The waiting room wreaked of cigarette smoke. The patient rooms didn't have any air so it felt hot. The provider and medical assistant were nice and listened to my concerns.
My appointment was scheduled quickly and around my schedule. Everyone was so pleasant and made me feel comfortable. My schedule did not allow me to get the next scheduled appointment any sooner so unfortunately it's delayed but not long
Listens and makes sure you understand what he is telling you and gives you best options
I was very pleased about how professional and caring provider Dr Ahmet Burakgazi
It was his first visit. Everything seemed satisfactory. No problems.
Yes, hello. The doctor was very informative, and I've had tremors for years and the medication he prescribed me through the telehealth visit worked really well. So it's triple A's across the board for Dr.u00A0 B, excellent service, smart doctor, very satisfied. Thank you.
Listen attentively and provided advice.
Very compassionate from the staff to provider. Were able to get me an appointment quick and when I got stuck in traffic a was over 20 min late they still were able to see me. Very happy with this provider and their team
I was there for Botox injections for facial tics and the procedure went very well. I received about 20 injections and Dr. Burakgazi went out of his way to assure the injections were as painless as possible. It's too soon to tell how effective the treatment will be, but the last treatment 3 months ago was 100% effective in suppressing my tics. I can't think of anything that might have improved my experience.
He listens to me, makes me feel heard and allows me to be a part of my treatment
I felt like he listened to my problems and worries.
The DR was amazing. He was well prepared before he came into the room. He already knew the history. His bedside manner was out of this world. He listened and had a plan. Plus, he asked me if there was anything else we should talk about including a different plan. Amazing!!!!
Dr. Burakgazi was very understanding, knowledgeable, and kind. I left my appointment very happy.
My doctor listened very carefully to all my concerns. He gave me viable options, discussed alternative treatment plans if necessary, and was very accommodating in attempting to get me another appointment.
All of the staff members have always been polite, kind, professional and helpful. Dr. Burakgazi listens to me. He takes the time to explain anything that I didn't understand. I've never felt rushed through an appointment or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, waited an hour or more before even stepping foot in an exam room.
Thorough, knowledgeable communicates well, and is kind.
It was a good experience for the first appointment.
Dr. Bu00A0listens and he cares, even though there's no cure, he tries to help me, and he's very kind and listens and explains things very well. Best neurologist I've had in 30 years. And South Coast was very kind and helpful. Thank you.
My husband and I are very pleased with Dr Burakgazi.He listens carefully to our concerns and observations regarding [Name] Parkinson's.My husband receives most of his services from the VA in PVD but we have stayed with Dr Burakgazi as [Name] neurologist as he is a consistent provider.

Excellent care and well run office. Thanks
The staff was efficient, yet also friendly. The doctor, as always, listened and interacted attentively, had solid recommendations and a great follow-on plan. I always read all provider notes following appointments. Dr Burakgazi's notes are the most comprehensive and accurate I have ever seen, from any provider.
Dr B listened carefully and explained his answers to my questions thoroughly.
Everything went well and this is a great alternative went the patient is unable to make an office visit thank you.
The doctor was very personable, willing to listen, was very understanding of what was going on with me, and he's the best.
I highly recommend Dr Burkagazi. He has made a huge improvement in my quality of life by getting my migraines under control. He explains things clearly and listens carefully. I feel heard and understood. I wasn't sure I would ever get to a place where my migraines are managed and rare. I have multiple other health issues and see many drs. Thank you so much!
Office is always organized & well kept.
The office staff was very nice and helpful. They listened to everything I had to say. The doctor was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He listened to my concerns and new symptoms besides just my migraines.
I waited way too long for a very brief visit imy concerns were dismissed and not really addressed. Certain tests were ordered without any explanation of what the tests were for.
Everyone at this office is so incredibly kind - from the front desk associate, the nurse, and physician. I feel like the nurse and doctor actually care about my health and take their time with me. Excellent customer service all around!
I really like Dr Burakgazi & the staff at this location has been very friendly.
Dr. Burakgazi is a great doctor. He listened to all of my concerns and created a plan to help me with my problems. I would definitely recommend.

During the visit, doctor asked me if I understood what he was telling me and often asked me did I have any questions or is there anything else I can give you information about regarding your health and he was very thorough. A very good appointment. Thank you.

Doctor and assistant were exceptional 10/10
It was a very productive appointment as I had many questions that were answered clearly. Dr. Burakgazi explained the reasons for the tests that he ordered because of the symptoms I am experiencing. Some of which may be age related and some due to heredity. Overall, a very enlightening appointment.
It was a good visit.
Very prompt. Everything was explained in detail and Dr Burakgazi asked repeatedly if me or my wife had any questions or unadressed concerns.
I love my appointments with dr. Burakgazi he explains everything to me I understand everything he asks me questions he's so kind and very polite I highly recommend my friends and family to him
Dr. Knew my history and addressed new issues.
Everyone I encountered today was great!!!
My first visit. I was very satisfied.
Everything was perfect, I can't complain about anything since the nurses and the doctor treated me wonderfully. Thank you.
He uses his own time the day before to review new patients charts to be ready for the next appointment. That's awesome. The medical assistant I believe she said her name was Ashley was so nice and knowledgeable and efficient. Nicely run office
Dr B was attentive and my follow up test needed was assigned the next week.
Dr B, is a great provider. He answered all my questions and didn't make me feel rushed.
Doctor and staff were thorough and caring.
What we did well: no delay, and Doctor takes the time to listen and considers history, symptoms, and patients medical needs therefore orders testing that is essential without minimizing care. Thank you… How we can improve: please have an operating digital forehead scan thermometer handy for complete vitals and to rule out fever
Took a long time (@3 months) to get an appt. Well worth it. I am a retired doc with a complex history. Dr. B was on top of multiple interacting issues. Very pleased.
People are never unprofessional or mean here. It genuinely seems like a nice respectful place
Good listening, genuine concern for my health goals in the coming years.
The nurse, [Name] who took me in for my exam was very nice and conversational. Dr.B was very thorough, asking if there was anything I was concerned about that he may not have touched upon in questioning. From my experience in this office I have gathered that my provider and nurse who took care of me today, take their jobs seriously and care for their patients.
Everything went well with my appointment and was very good with the information.
This Dr is very thorough. He incorporates using nutritional supllements,exercise, and orthopedic appliances. in addition to medication.He is also a good listener and has a kind and helpful demeanor..
The one thing that I can expect is that I've always been treated well with Southcoast doctors

Dr.Buragahzi is efficient, kind and helpful. He really listens and cares.
People were very efficient. Front desk person especially helpful!!
Dr Benghazi and his staff have always listened to my problems and offered solutions or treatments. The Dr and staff are very kind and generous with their time and I couldn't ask for anything more.
Dr. Burakgazi is always attentive, thorough, and genuinely engaged in my care. He consistently asks thoughtful, leading questions that make it easy for me to share important details about my health. I appreciate that he always begins by asking if anything has changed since my last visit. Today, when I mentioned some new symptoms and an upcoming MRI ordered by my PCP, he immediately scheduled follow-up testing and an appointment next week to review the results. I always leave feeling heard and confident in his care.
Appts are always great at this practice. My only complaint is how far out appts are booking. Still love seeing providers here though!
Doctor personally called me in. Thought it was extremely respectful and made me feel comfortable. Explained different conditions and treatments after all testing is done. Liked him alot.Staff was courteous and helpful.

Very caring and took time to listen to my concerns. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing to see a neurologist
The doctor made my mom feel extremely comfortable and at ease in a situation that she could have been very nervous. He was very personable and answered her questions in a way that she could understand.
Everyone was respectful and professional. I was seen in a timely manner. The process was smooth. Al of my questions were answered.
Felt listened to but was surprised that Iwasn't physically touched or examinedMaybe it wasn't necessary as I'm doingwell.
Dr. Burakgazi was refreshingly attentive and genuinely concerned with my issue. He ordered tests and scheduled a follow up. He also made it clear if I had any questions no matter how minor I could message him via mychart. So many specialists blow in and out and don't listen - I can't say that about Dr. Burakgazi. I was impressed by his genuine concern. I will definitely refer patients to him that may need his specialty.
Comfortable, pleasant very helpful..Dr.B was really nice & very helpful..Staff was very professional & very nice
