Patient Reviews
Nov 17, 2022
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.
