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.

Doctor Buragazi took the necessary time to thoroughly listen and respond to patient's concerns, symptoms and health history, identifying methods for future goals: assessing, evaluating, testing, therapies, medicines, and considering patient needs and steps for management and preventative and managerial care ruling out reasonable identifiable medical illness: diseases, damage, disorders, and, or conditions.
Dr. B is always very thorough! He has been treating me since my TBI 2 years ago and always goes above and beyond with my care. I'd recommend him to anyone!
I have always had a pleasant experience with this Neurologist and office staff! The MD has always been very pleasant and always takes the time to answer any questions I have!

Staff, especially [Name] were exceptional. I was booked incorrectly at first and she went over and above to reschedule me and make me feel welcome.
Dr Burakgazi has helped me tremendously. Migraines may not be devastating as other neurological diagnosis are much more serous however my migraines were debilitating. I have had moments of aphasia as well as brain fog that went along with the severe pain. Dr Burakgazi has always listened to me carefully and addressed my concerns. He is compassionate and professional. Thank you for having him as part of your organization. He has made such a difference in the quality of my life in regards to migraines
Dr Ahmet Burakgazi is a careful listener. He strives to have a complete picture of the patient before making recommendations. If one course of treatment doesn't work, he gives careful thought to trying another. I give the highest recommendation to him and his staff.
The experience was great. I was quickly seen. The doctor definitely listened to my concerns and also looked at prior imaging and history and I felt as he was really focused on my health and nothing else during this visit. We discussed what was needed, any other concerns, meds, and monitoring. I was really happy with how the visit went and very comfortable even though it was an initial visit. Definitely would recommend Dr B.
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.
Very pleasant and informative
Everything was done well… I feel blessed to have them…

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
