Dr. Mark Burish is hands down the best doctor I've ever seen. His professionalism, intelligence, and exceptional knowledge of treatment are unmatched. He takes the time to listen, explains things thoroughly, and genuinely cares about his patients. He's an incredible physician-compassionate, sharp, and deeply committed to finding the best solutions. Honestly, some of the surgeons at Mischer Neuroscience could learn a few things from him, as I can't say the same about their approach. Dr. Burish sets the gold standard in neurological care.

Dr. Burish and staff always take great care of me and I wouldn't choose to be seen by anyone else.


Apr 2, 2025

What you did really well was customer contact, service and information at all levels, including the hookup, the link, including the services in the office. And when I'm speaking with Dr. Burish and the other neurologists, at all levels of my service today, I was greatly pleased and I would say 10 for everyone. Thank you.

I have finally found a GREAT doctor that cares and communicates with me .. He's never in a rush and makes sure he answers all my questions


Mar 5, 2025

Nurse called my name wrong in the waiting room- a totally different name. The follow up was 8 months out- not really comfortable with that- given starting a new dosage of medicine, but it was the only appointment being offered


Mar 4, 2025

I very much appreciate the option if Tele computer visit. I love this convenience and love not having to get in stressful traffic. Thank you for providing this option.

Dr. Burish and his staff took excellent care of me.


Feb 18, 2025

Office site location makes it difficult to predict arrival time due to downtown area location, traffic, congested parking garage, and weather. I will opt for Virtual-online appointments when available in the future


Feb 18, 2025

Dr Burish is an EXCELLENT doctor. He has always shown the utmost compassion when addressing my medical concerns. I trust him wholeheartedly with my care. His staff has always shown just as much care and professionalism. I highly recommend him and the clinic.

Excellent care


Feb 10, 2025

I loved Dr. Burish and I loved how the telemedicine visit went because I could see my doctor, I could talk to my doctor personally and in the comfort of my own home. And it was one-on-one and I felt that we covered everything that I needed to cover. And it was very effective.

Dr. Burish is a great migraine headache specialist. In the entire University of Texas health system, he is known as the only migraine specialist and he needs someone with his experience and reputation to help him assist the massive number of people that need migraine assistance. He spends half of his time doing valuable research and it takes anywhere from six months to nine months to get an appointment with him. As a UT graduate, former hospital administrator, and an attorney with the largest law firm in the world, it's an embarrassment on the UT health system that we can't hire someone to help this great doctor. Please text back if you want more information. Thanks!


Feb 5, 2025

Dr. Burish is both personalable and professional. His expertise is uniquely valuable to me in pursuing effective treatment.


Feb 5, 2025

Wish it was more help for me. Hurt bad!


Feb 4, 2025

Dr.Burish is a genius! He cured my headaches that scores of others had failed to do. His follow up is great as is his knowledge of my case.

By far, Dr. Mark Burish, is the most meticulous, caring, and compassionate doctor I have ever seen along with Dr. Megan Rogge, who referred me to Dr. Burish. I have spent nearly one year and a half consulting with multiple physicians who were nowhere near as attentive. Dr. Burish and his certified nurse assistant Claudia were extremely kind and reviewed my extensive medical history. Both of them were able to provide me with suggestions to assist me with my current symptoms. I feel extremely lucky to have the opportunity, to finally be treated by a highly knowledgeable, and motivated specialist. I am hopeful that over the next couple of months, I will begin experiencing less pain, and a decrease in my current symptoms related to Dr. Burish's medication and medical device recommendations. I would refer Dr. Burish to anyone experiencing similar symptoms. I left his office feeling absolutely relieved that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel, and I may begin to enjoy my days and nights again. It feels amazing to know that someone so talented, and intelligent has impeccable people skills. I'm glad that I have eight thousand characters to express my appreciation. Don't worry, I am about to conclude with Thank You Dr. Burish, Claudia, and Dr. Rogge too.

Dr. Burish and his staff are exceptional.


Jan 13, 2025

I felt hope after my appointment. I thought the secretary was wonderful. I thought the doctor was wonderful. I thought everybody was on top of their game. And I felt hope. I hadn't felt hope in a long time. So I guess thank you. And yeah, that's all. That's all I have to say.


Jan 7, 2025

Of all the doctors I've seen (and I see a lot), Dr. Burish is the most thoughtful in explaining treatment options and letting me be involved in choosing the plan that works best for me


Dec 18, 2024

Very pleased with my experience. Everyone was professional and kind. The doctor was running slightly behind and his staff let us know right away. He was kind, patient and efficient during appointment. Highly recommend!


Dec 4, 2024

Dr Burish is the absolute best. [...]


Dec 3, 2024

Dr Burish and his staff always help me with whatever I need. He does his referrals and calls in medication when needed


Nov 27, 2024

Dr. Burish is an extraordinary doctor and person. He really cares about his patients and it shows. I am really greateful to be his patient and his knowledge about cluster headaches is second to none. I would have traveled anywhere in the world to meet with him, so being local in Houston is just great! I've never met another doctor that takes this much time to know and understand the patient's needs. I really can't be more pleased and impressed with his care.


Nov 25, 2024

Dr. Burish spends a lot of time with me trying to figure out what we can do next and I really appreciate everything he's doing.
