Burroff Mark D DO

I have been to the office several times. The staff has always been nice to me. Dr. Buroff has always been nice to me. I go them for physical therapy and have appointments set up but when I can go in early they always accommodate me. If I have one complaint it would be that if you are sick and need a doctor without an appointment this is not the place to go unless you are the first walk-​in of the day.

I came to Doctor Burroff per recommendation of my family. He was rude to me and didn’t listen to my concerns. Instead of suggesting tests as he politely did for my husband, he asked me that if something is making me feel so bad, why do I keep doing it? I also came in for an evaluation after being admitted to the ER for an anxiety attack. He continued to insult me and pester me to explain to him why I was having anxiety. It left me in tears and only when I started to cry did he try to show some compassion. I’m glad he seems like a good guy to the rest of my family, but I will never go to his practice EVER again! Plus, I would spend hours waiting to be seen, which is ridiculous. Only positive thing I have to say is that the rest of the staff was super nice.

Dr Burroff is quick and thorough, his staff always gets me in when I’m in need. He is very caring but also a no BS kind of a guy he tells you like it is. I refer all my patients to him and will continue to do so.

Dr. Brurroff was very rude and insulted me in regards to my weight, telling me that there are starving people in Africa and to look at myself. I have hypothyroidism and he knows this, I’ve tried desperately to lose weight but it’s hard to work out for me, I’m 64 and I have bad hips. I will never go back to him again, I left his office humiliated and in tears!

Dr. Burroff has been my primary doctor for many years, so it’s surprising that I didn’t write up a review yet, until now. One of the reasons for choosing him, was that his office was convenient to my home, and covered by my health insurance. I am not sure if I became a patient before I had health insurance with my current employer, or before that. But when I eventually became pregnant, he also referred me to a cardiologist (also nearby) for additional medical care (I’m still a patient).
Waiting time can be long, but not longer than when I see my OB/​GYN (those are up to an hour). Visits are thorough, but I don’t feel rushed. If I have really bad allergies, I get the kenalog shot, which does wonders for me (lasts up to three months). His nurse gave it to me. The staff, from the front desk, to the nurses are very nice, too. He is a very good doctor — very attentive, will answer my questions and will go over my concerns too. I am glad that I can depend on him for my care.
I agree with Debbie M. that looking for a good doctor is not easy.
I think it is better to schedule an appointment rather than take your chances as a «walk-​in.»

Where do I start there so many wonderful and great things I could say about Dr. Burroff. My mother who’s 78 has a lot of health problems especially she has a severe heart problems and she insist only on going to sunrise Hospital. I had to look for a doctor that’s on staff at sunrise Hospital and that’s how I found Dr. Burroff.
The day I found him to be my mother’s primary doctor I feel we were blessed. I could say he is the best primary doctor I have had the pleasure to meet in all of southern Nevada. I could tell you that in the 30+ years that I have lived in southern Nevada I have been to a lot of primary doctors with my mother’s health and as well with my husband’s health. Any doctor we have ever gone to we always feel rushed, that is not the case with Dr. Burroff. My mother ended up in the emergency room at sunrise Hospital and then was admitted to the hospital
Dr Burroff visit her every single day that she was in the hospital and she was there over a week. And unfortunately in the past three months she has been in and out of the hospital a lot and he always has been there every single day to see her. Again he never seem in a rush even after his long days at work and then going and visiting his patients at the hospital. I highly recommend Dr. Burroff

Looking for the right Doctor is not always easy. I was referred by a freind thank goodness. Dr. Buroff and his staff were very kind and proffessional. The front desk girls were sweet and happy to help you.
Dr. Buroff is extremely kind and took the time to listen and take a deep concern with my health issues. I had a alot of question and he was happy to help. He was very busy, the office was packed! But he never made me feel rushed. Its a great feeling after your appointment to feel taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Buroff as a wonderful person and DR.
Thank you,

Dr. Burroff has been my physician for over 14 years. I cant say enough about him. He is very thorough, patient and he explains everything very well to me. I trust his medical expertise and I have recommended him to many of my friends. I also enjoy going to his office as his office staff is very friendly and competent in their job.

I am very disappointed in this doctor!!! I feel cheated and lied to! I will never use him again! I have been a patient of DR. Burroff’s for the past 3 ½ years. I have just found out by my NEW doctor that Dr. Burroff has been prescribing me psychiatric medications that I DO NOT even need, for an illness i DO NOT even have!!! I feel as though my life has been pushed back because i have not been fixing my real illness but merely putting a blanket to cover it up ! I have been taking Lithium for 3 years and Pristiq for 1 ½ years.
I was diagnosis with bipolar by several therapist 4 years ago by filling out certain question airs, that passed as“bipolar”. One therapist had told me to work aside with a doctor with my new information, my choice. who treats bipolar i thought? I had no clue! I found Dr. Burroff through my insurance as listed as «in my network». Taking a chance with any doctor i assumed could help me, i started to see him. Even though he is internal medicine and bipolar had been a foreign thing to me, i picked him and trusted his knowledge and schooling as i started to introduce my symptoms to him. Like most people you dont know whats wrong with you but strictly only what your symptoms are, right? You trust and have faith they have all the answers!
Dr. Burroff had never ran any tests about my brain. Because he never did, i assumed there were no tests to determine whats going on in my head! How should i know, im the patient! I have just found out from my NEW doctor that there are tests out there! I couldnt believe it! I feel DR. Burroff is unfamiliar or unaware that there are tests by neuroscience labs!
I had explained to my NEW doctor just recently the same symptoms i had told Dr. Burroff 3 ½ years ago. She really digged into my history which important fact that i am adopted. I have no clue about my genetic background. Wanting to come up with her own conclusions aside from what pre diagnosis Dr. Burroff and past therapists have labeled me as, she had a hunch of whats wrong with me. She spent about 30 min talking with me when Dr. Burroff has never spent more than 5 min with me on any given visit. I never felt he really wanted to take the time to listen to what i was saying. Always rushed! I don’t know if some doctors choose to educate themselves or are just simply are interested in one illness over the other but i really felt compared to Dr. Burroff my NEW doctor truly knew her craft WELL and took time to seriously help me! She felt my pain!
My NEW doctor had me do a urine test that was sent out to a lab called Pharmasan Labs Neuroscience a couple months ago. When the results came in, I was extremely shocked to find that the test showed a complete different illness on it than what Dr. Burroff was trying to treat! i found i DO NOT have bipolar but something called COMT!!!
COMT: catechol-​o-​methyl transferase
an enzyme that deactivates the catecholamines dopa, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. It is a genetic mutation that inhibits production of this enzyme.
The foods i was eating on a regular day to day basis i DO NOT digest at all. This specific genetic mutation is not equipped to do so on certain foods that are gluten, processed sugar and meats, wheat and alcohol. My body was acting like it was having an allergic reaction. COMT side affects are same attributes as Bipolar! Those foods i was eating were getting in the way of my brains neurotransmitters to work properly. Also known as «the gut and brain connection» My neuroscience lab test showed that my Serotonin, Taurine, PEA and Epinephrine levels were dangerously low.
If Dr. Burroff will ever read this some day, I would just want him to know, if you know very little about a mental illness or any illness that you aren’t familiar with enough, please do not try and quick fix a problem as big as this. Withdrawing from heavy medication like lithium and Pristiq that i had to get off of because i did not need was not fun! Or if you are knowledgeable, please, please update your information. Because of one lab test you didn’t know about or decided to no give me the option to do, fucked up my life in so many ways! I just now am starting to feel really get fixed!
