Duncan Burkholder

He was always late. He pressured me to induce even after I explained at every appointment that I wanted to deliver as naturally as possible. When I wouldn't induce he became irritated and told me that he would be on vacation on my due date - this was at 38 weeks pregnant!!! Another doctor delivered my baby and I had to fight with my insurance to pay Dr. Burkholder because "I switched doctors." I tried to contact Dr. Burkholder to see if he would waive the fee that I owed and just accept the 80% the insurance was willing to pay. Basically, he said it wasn't his problem. more

Dr. Burkholder delivered both of my children in 1988 and 1991. He is the kindest, most caring and doctor I have ever had the privelege of knowing and if I still lived in the area he would be my OB/GYN today, 20 years later! I drove the two hours from Hobbs to Lubbock for each visit with both pregnancies and deliveries just to have him as my DR. In his defense, there is a reason he is always late- that is because when he is with YOU he stays as long as YOU need him to - answering YOUR questions! A rarity in world of physicians! I will wait as long as I have to in order not to be rushed out and have my questions dismissed. My mother was very worried about some complications I was having and he was so kind and considerate with her and all my family members. He was a true blessing and we still have not forgotten him to this day and my babies are now 20 and 23! I wish we still lived there so he could deliver my grandchildren!

Dr Burkholder is the absolute best Ob/Gyn in Lubbock. He delivered 2 of my 4 kids and was my OB for 3 of the 4. He has the best bedside manner and truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend using him. He also has a great staff. They are all considerate and caring and treat you as if you are the only patient they have! more
