Dr. Burkey was an amazing pediatrician. He was always a phone call away when we needed him. He will always be remembered for his love and kindness, when I needed it most. My sincere condolences to the Burkey family.

We met Dr Burkey when our oldest son was born in 1993 and are very thankful for his medical skills, kindness, and dedication to healing and serving the children and families he encountered. He was always available whenever we needed him (which was often:) and we are so grateful for his help and friendship while raising our three boys. May he rest in peace.

Dr. Burkey was an excellent physician. He treated his patients with compassion and kindness and gave them as much time as they needed. Will miss his sense of humor too. I surely enjoyed working with him. Suzanne Pearce

Dr. Burkey was a wonderful pediatrician who both my girls saw for a few years before his retirement. My oldest actually wanted to go to the doctor because she loved him so much. Sending all our condolences to his family and friends.
