Reviews for Cape Gastroenterology Specialists

David Danker

Dr. Burch was very kind and went the extra mile to explain to my wife and I what the procedure involved and how it would work into the other surgery that was scheduled for the same day. Great communication skills and a great understanding of what was needed.

Lucas Beine

Dr. Burch is absolutely amazing! Cape Girardeau is lucky to have him and his wife (who is an orthopedic surgeon) here! They have very quickly become very well respected in this community! All of St. Francis staff loves them too. Its actually pretty cool.

Michelle is awesome! She really takes time to listen to your concerns and makes sure you completely understand whats going on.

Kim listens thoroughly to your symptoms and concerns and then makes a plan to address them. She is great with follow up as well!

She is professional, caring and listened to my health issues. Started right away on testing and scheduled me with Dr. Hussein for colonoscopy.

Very thorough and complete. All questions answered.

My first time visit was very good. She can listened to my concerns and explained everything to my satisfaction. Very professional and friendly.

Super impressed with the professionalism exhibited by Kimberly and entire staff at Cape Gastroenterology Specialists

Thorough understanding of health problems.
