“Dr. Michael Burgdorf is a consummate professional. What sets him apart from his mundane colleagues (who too often take themselves far too seriously) isn't his amazing before and after gallery, his multiple amazon best selling books, or his prior history as a D1 athlete at Notre Dame (although had he played at the University of Florida he would have been truly been in a league of his own)...but rather, his ability to connect on a personal level with every patient. This, is a gift that cannot be taught, but rather is inherent to one's character. If patients could google "physician character", Michael would be at the top of the first page.”Read moreShow less
