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 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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

It's very seldom that I write reviews, but the service at this office was beyond exceptional. The doctor listened to my concerns, took them seriously and recommended the testing to hone in on the causation. I would highly recommend this group for anyone suffering from cognitive issues or dealing with issues pertaining to their brains.

I liked the doctor's approach, in terms of taking and avoiding medication.
The Dr listened to me, provided answers to my questions, and treated me very respectfully. My only 'complaint' and it's not even one really, is because he is a neurologist, it can be hard to be seen quickly. I fully understand the reasons why, especially because he is an excellent Dr who treats his patients with respect.
It was a very good appointment as always.
