Recent reviews

Dr. Burke saw me right away and even though my problem was not orthopedic related, he quickly helped me and even sent me to a cardiologist where I received immediate care and was admitted to the hospital for heart failure. Thanks to him, I am alive.

Dr Burke and his physician's assistant were very helpful and very nice. The PA even took extra time to answer any lingering questions I had.

I had signed on with ZocDoc and filled in all the paperwork for the first appointment with Dr. Burke. The only problem was, ZocDoc did not forward my information to the office in time for my visit. So, I had to do it all over again. That meant I had to spend more time doing paperwork and waiting. Once I got into the exam room it went quickly and Dr. Burke was just what I needed.
