    I saw Dr Miguel Burch and was very very impressed with him. First visit. When we discussed my health concern (why I was there) he already had a plan of treatment in mind. He explained it very well. Then when I asked if he could repeat the three scenarios he might encounter when he does surgery, in more layman's terms, he was most willing. He even offered to write them down for me in my notebook. I allowed him to do that, plus he wrote diagrams to help explain the anatomy he'd be accessing and what surgical steps he would take. He was very straight forward, friendly, an excellent listener, approachable and likeable!

    Dr. Miguel Burch is the most extraordinary doctor I have ever known (and my father was a doctor at Cedars for about 35 years, he won the Emily Cooley award, plus I have several health issues so I've met many, many wonderful doctors)! He Is the kindest, most compassionate doctor - he truly cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure you are heard and feel safe. If other doctors had his bedside manner as well as his skill, our health care system would be truly spectacular. In 2016, he Performed emergency surgery on me and saved my life. My Entire family is indebted to him. I will never forget how frightened I was and how calm he was in return. The ER doctor or nurse (I cannot remember) scared me so badly, but Dr Burch's ease and reassuring words let me know I was In the best possible hands. The level of stress I was under could have seriously affected the outcome of my surgery, but within seconds I had no doubt he would take care of me. I am beyond grateful that he was on call that evening! I Had no idea just how serious my abdominal infection was until it was over and I was recovering. He has also taken care of my husband. We all trust him implicitly. He always takes every opportunity to teach his students, whether I am there for a routine office visit or having surgery. This visit was scary for me since I've had several serious health issues arise recently and had no idea what was wrong with me. He made time to see me, listened to everything I was going through, helped me in office and made sure I got a CT scan and results right away. Even though he was leaving on a well deserved vacation. I only wish he could be my doctor for everything! I don't usually gush about anyone but this man is what every doctor should aspire to be.

    There were so many unknowns so I don't want to be unfair to the doctor. He did discuss the possibility of removing my stomach but did not go into any detail about how that would affect the quality of my life afterward. I was stunned at the possibility. It's early in the process and I cannot yet rate the likelihood of recommending this doctor.
