Dr Burke was my husband's in home palliative care doctor he was very "nice" and was there for us until my husband died Dec 18 2019. No follow up no email of how our family was doing...I guess my husband Joe was just number. Palliative care is joke...find someone who actually cares !!!

The best doctor I’ve ever had. Listens, knowledgeable and very, very kind. Understands pain and treatment plan. Sadly missed since retirement of regular patients. I would do anything to have him back helping me again, anything, amazing doctor!

I’ve only dealt with Dr. Burke once and that was when he was the coroner when one of my parents passed. We did not get all the proper documents from the funeral home so I called Dr. Burke’s office. His secretary was helpful and to my surprise Dr. Burke picked up the phone right away on a Friday night. Despite being a coroner and dealing with death all the time, he was extremely compassionate and caring in his conversation. Took the time to explain a couple extra things to me and overall was pleasant to deal with. I don’t know how he is as a doctor as my interactions with him were different, but he is wonderful as a human being.

Doctor Burke was the best doctor I ever had! I miss him already, no one can take his place and care as much as he did with his patients. I have known him since I was 6, and he ended up being my doctor for my daughter. We will miss him!
The hard part now is finding a new doctor for my daughter and I, no one compares to him, the doctor who took over his placement does not care for her patients like he did, she had me leave in tears, something doctor Burke would have never done to his patients. I decided after that I would try to find a new doctor for us, but now a days, it’s going to be tough.

10 star ⭐️ doctor in our eyes! Wishing you all the best Doctor Burke!

Dr subramaniam had me misdiagnosed for years . I was suffering and she didnt care. Dr. Burke did a brief physical exam and properly diagnosed me on my first appointment. He is empathetic, knowledgable, funny when indicated and kind. Makes you feel comfortable and is very smart. 10/10 would recommend!

Dr. Burke is a great doctor. But hard to get an appointment with because he’s not in the office a lot. His receptionist is awful! Eating while trying to talk on the phone, giggling while on the phone and not listening while being spoken to. Getting hung up on, turning phones off before noon and back on after 1:30. Need new staff!

Doctor Burke has been my doctor since birth 26 years ago.. And he will be until he retires. He delivered me and now will care for my son. He's incredible, kind and so knowledgeable. I consider myself grateful to have him as a doctor :)

I met Dr. Burke at the walk-in. My 10 year old needed minor stitches and he was awesome with him. Very caring and funny. He kept my son calm the whole time with jokes and did a great job on the stitches on his forehead.
I've been trying to find a new doctor in Bowmanville and i was so impressed that I tried switching to him.. unfortunately he's not accepting new patient at this time.
