About
Dr. Phillip Burrer earned his medical degree from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. He completed his residency in Family Practice at UMass Chan Medical School, a nationally recognized program in primary care. He holds board certification in family medicine and brings over 25 years of experience across primary care, urgent care, and telemedicine.
Before founding Valor DPC, Dr. Burrer ran a multi-state telemedicine practice serving patients across eight states. He cares for patients at every life stage, with particular focus on chronic disease management, preventive care, medical weight loss, mental health, and both women's and men's health. He personally lost over 50 pounds using GLP-1 medications, and that experience shapes his compassionate, non-judgmental approach to weight management. Dr. Burrer believes that knowing a patient fully is the foundation of good medicine. He and his wife Cheri operate Valor DPC together, bringing a close-knit, family-centered feel to every visit.
