Dr. Bertram is an amazing doctor and surgery. She is very knowledgeable and willing to answer all of your questions and concerns and you never feel like she is rushing to get to the next patient. She is very thorough and will explain in as great detail as you want or need.

Dr. Burtrum is hands down the best. Her bedside manners are exceptional. Her surgical work is top notch and when she is done she will wait for as long as needed until the patient is awake and can speak. We have recommended Dr. Burtrum to others for surgery.

Okay, let’s be real…colonoscopies are not on anyone’s bucket list, but they are an important health screening tool. With that being said, Dr Burtrum & the entire staff were fantastic! They made me feel very comfortable & the procedure less intimidating. Great job!

Dr. Burtrum was a great. Her assistant Crystal was great as well. It was my first time having surgery as an adult and they reassured me that everything would be fine. They helped calm my anxiety and their energy truly made the difference for me. Their personalities and attention to detail made me super comfortable. I recommend them to everyone. I thank God that they took care of me for my first surgery as an adult. Thank you Dr. Burtrum & Crystal truly.

Dr Bertrum and Dr Klee did an excellent surgery on my colon resection. She explained everything she would be doing and my recovery. I will have my second post op this week. Also one of my nurses, Mandy, was an absolute angel when I had an issue with my blood pressure dropping . I will continue to choose Oaklawn Hospital for my care.

Dr. Burtrum was thorough in her assessment of my acute appendicitis. She was compassionate when asking questions and getting to know my symptoms. She explained everything she was going to do in surgery. She followed up to make sure I was well enough to go home. She took the time to see if I had any questions or concerns.
