Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Dr. Birch was my primary care physician at KU's Landon Center for several years. When he left that practice, I have not yet found a primary care physician who matches his professional and personal qualities. He is kind, patient, thorough, unrushed, and listens attentively. He followed up on my concerns and provided me information that I needed. One thing I particularly miss about Dr. Birch is that he familiarized himself with my history and followed up on any health issues I didn't bring up to make sure they had been satisfactorily addressed. I also appreciated that he cared about me as a whole person, not just the symptoms I presented.

Outstanding doctor
Dr. Birch is an outstanding physician. My 83 year old mother recently moved to Kansas City and needed to establish a new primary care doctor. After seeing many doctors who were not so patient and attentive, we finally found Dr. Birch at the Landon Center on Ageing. He has been a God-send, and my mother loves him. He's caring and he takes his time with each patient to address all their needs.
