I have been diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer.. My lung Dr that I've been seeing since 2015 has retired from surgery. Dr Burrows is a referral from my family Dr. I called to make an appointment after my PET scan showed highly likely lung cancer. I was in the next day to see Dr Burrows and Lindsey Black. A Friday evening at that. 2 1/2 hours this team spent with me and my family. Answered questions until we were comfortable. It's been a week and the team has set up and I've completed all the pre op test. Now waiting on an appointment back with Dr Burrows and his team to to go over the plan for surgery. I'm at this point more then comfortable with moving forward with Dr Burrows to do my surgery. I will definitely add my comments after the surgery.

Best Doctor and staff I have ever had. Helped my get my life back. Did a esophagectomy on me in 2018, for benign disease. Did an amazing job. Super friendly, intelligent, and took lots of time explaining everything I needed to know. Treated me, like I was his family.

No words that can do Justice to describe Dr.Burrows, but just meeting him, made me feel like I was meant to go through what I went through, in order to cross paths with Dr.Burrows. Amazing Doctor, even more of an amazing person. He is truly one of a kind in his work ethic, skill as a multi faceted specialist who exceeds in every capacity as a doctor, specialist and human being.

[  ] I want to take this time to thank Dr. Burrows and his team, for saving my life. Dr. Burrows  is the most upstanding, respected man i have ever met. I had stage two, three T, esophageal cancer. I had a stricture caused by Barretts esophagus. On this stricture, a tumor had formed right before the stomach. I went through chemo and radiation treatments. It helped, but very little. So i had to have, an esophagectomy. My Oncologist recommended Dr. Burrows, to be the surgeon. This man sat down and talked with me, for three hours. Told me what was involved in the surgery, and what to expect after. If you didn't understand what you were being told, he would explain it in layman's terms. A lot of Surgeon's wouldn't have taken that much time to explain. I don't wish any cancer, on anyone. If something like this should happen to you and you need a surgeon, i truly recommend Dr. Whitney M. Burrows.  He did mention to me : That you have to have, a strong positive will, to live. Basically everyone has a job to do, that one's yours.  And he's correct. But i also look at it this way : If we didn't have Surgeon's like Dr. Burrows,  we wouldn't have a chance. Again: Thank you so much Dr. Burrows, for saving my life. I love ya brother.
