Love Savanna. She is always so nice and helpful. Very knowledgeable

12/30/2024

I had never seen Dr Burns before; however, she checked my chart as we discussed symptoms and time line. She was most concerned about prescribing a medication that would not interfere with the medications I am currently taking. Very much liked her concern and how thorough she treated me and the situation.

12/26/2024

I've been seeing these providers for quite a long time on regular basis. Always have had a good experience and feel they really care about me.

10/31/2024

I had my first glucose/insulin test today. Everyone time from the greeter & just walking past employees was kind, polite, & helpful. The admission desk ladies were very friendly & helpful. I feel terrible for not getting the nurses name who did my lab test today but she receives an 11 out of 10 stars. She has such a sweet personality & she's very good at what she does. She kept everything on time to a T. Addresses me by my name each time. With a smile. You can tell she loves what she does & that she loves working with people. Working in the medical field myself, I made sure to tell her all of that before I left because people love to criticize but rarely praised & it was more than well deserved by her.

10/28/2024

I had a very good experience, very informative and knowledgeable. Very good personality.

10/22/2024

I love seeing Dr. Burns. She has just this year alone forced me into becoming more of an adult and taking care of myself, doing the things that everyone at my age is supposed to start doing. And I appreciate her professionalism, but also her personality.

Awesomeness

02/28/2023

Nurse practitioner Savanna was excellent and thorough.

02/20/2023

I love Savanna. The only complaint I have, and this isn't Savanna, this is my first time seeing her. Since BRG took over, I have had to chase down my regular prescriptions. My last two or three visits, my meds were not sent in to my mail order pharmacy. I highly doubt the doctor calls them in so it must be a staff thing. My prescriptions WERE on my record as ordered however I always have to call to get them sent in, this last visit I called twice. Other than that. I am very satisified. Savanna is great!

02/22/2023

I was extremely pleased.

02/20/2023

I was very pleased that they ordered lab work and other tests to help determine what is going on with me.

02/13/2023

The appointment was handled in a very professional manner in a timely fashion by all the staff involved. You can't ask for more. Great job!

02/08/2023

My experience is what you hope healthcare should be like. Knowledgeable and personal. I'm was treated so kind.

02/03/2023

I am new to the area and looking for a new provider. Based on my experience, I am no longer looking. They were patient, kind, courteous, and helpful beyond my expectations

01/10/2023

11/11/2022

I absolutely love Dr. Burns and her staff.

11/15/2022

I came in after being hospitalized for an intracranial bleed and nasal fracture which required a short ICU stay at BRG. The office staff entered my visit as a BP check. Dr Savanna, pulled up my scans, labs and records and did a thorough post hospital exam- with an excellent neuro exam. She also shared her plan of care. As a recently retired APRN, she is one of the best.

11/11/2022

The staff was friendly, the wait time was minimal and the nurse and doctors explained things in easy to understand language. They also listened to my concerns and really care about my health.

11/07/2022

Overall a very pleasant doctor visit.

10/26/2022

It was a very good experience with Savanna Burns. very congenial and professional. The following comment is directed at Baton Rouge General and our insurance provider AETNA. We are disappointed that these two entities are not "playing nice". This may force us to change either our provider or our insurer, neither of which we want to do.

10/31/2022

Savanna and the staff are very professional as well as caring, willing to follow-up all my questions. Thank you!

10/24/2022

They're such an amazing staff and I love them

10/21/2022

The intake nurse was training someone and asked me questions so hurriedly I barely had time to answer one before another one. She had me rattled trying to keep up.

10/20/2022

Very polite and listened to everything I had to say. If going to the doctor could be considered pleasant - this visit was pleasant.

10/20/2022

I saw Savanna this year and last for my wellness physical and am impressed. She is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain. Most important you can tell she really cares

10/13/2022

I was Not rushed!!! They listened & we discussed!! Very kind & friendly!! All very important!!
