About Dr. Kevin Burns
I went to medical school to become an orthopedic surgeon. But while there, I realized I enjoyed medicine much more than surgery. I like helping patients manage both acute and chronic health problems in a compassionate, yet evidence-based, manner.
As an internal medicine physician, I'm comfortable taking care of complex conditions such as diabetes, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, emphysema, asthma, cirrhosis and more. At the same time, I'm comfortable taking care of healthy patients who just need a physical.
At our clinic, our goal is to deliver same-day care for acute problems while also managing chronic medical problems on a recurring basis. We strive to meet patients where they are and offer them a variety of ways to get care - in-person visits, video visits, MyChart electronic messaging and nurse triage. We're able to take care of the majority of patients' medical needs, but we also refer them to subspecialty care when it's needed.
I am board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine. I'm also certified by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in diabetic, stroke and cardiovascular care.
Growing up in Lenoir, North Carolina, I played football, basketball and baseball at West Caldwell High School. I continued playing baseball at Davidson College, where I majored in chemistry. I went to medical school at UNC-Chapel Hill, thanks to a scholarship from the U.S. Air Force.
I did my residency in internal medicine at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, and then worked as a teaching attending physician at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi.
I have four children - three sons and a daughter. My oldest is in seminary. One son played college soccer; another played high school soccer while also participating in dance and earning his Eagle Scout. My daughter participates in dance, choir and performs with High Point Ballet's presentation of The Nutcracker.
