I really appreciate Susan Burgin because her knowledge is unique. There aren't many doctors that could treat what I have and make a difference in my care. So I really appreciate what she does for me and she's also super nice. She is super sweet. I told her that too on my last visit. She is a real pleasure and she has helped me tremendously, which is what I really appreciate. I think she's a real asset to Brigham and Women.

I love Dr. Burgin- to the point that I have skipped insurance and paid out of pocket to continue seeing her. She is deeply caring and always knows my full medical history when she comes into the room. She is the only provider I have had who kept the scribe behind the curtain.

Yes, because of the deeply personal nature of my problem, I would have preferred not to have had a resident in with my doctor.
