My appointment with Dr Buerki was for a consultation. He was very thorough going over my MRI explaining and comparing this MRI to previous ones. He also explained options and will be checking with surgeons about my situation. Dr Buerki was very friendly and made me feel comfortable and not rushed. My Son and I were very impressed with him.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
