She's great
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/9/2025
Dr. Buresh is an exceptionally good provider. I have been working with her for many years and she demonstrates respect, understanding, and clinical skill. I don't feel rushed when I'm talking with her and she knows my clinical background very well. I think Dr. Buresh is a model of what primary care should look like, but her level of care is not something that many people receive. I feel very lucky that she is my PCP.
