Dr. Burns and his medical assistant were very personable. The office staff was also very friendly and prompt with my check in. The office was following social distancing protocol and masks were requird which made me feel that much more comfortable. I felt Dr. Burns spoke on my level, instead of in high medical jargon and asked if I had any questions throughout. He was concise yet through. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Burns to anyone in need of an orthopedic specialist.

I liked Dr Burns, he listened patiently and gave me a throughout evaluation. He recommended I go get an MRI in the specific region he identified the issue and the MRI showed I had weight lifter’s shoulder. We’re working on a treatment plan now but I’m very happy with Dr. Burns so far!

Absolutely perfect in every way.
August 31, 2017Deborah C.Verified patient
He seemed quite knowledgeable. Gives advice in the best interest of me. Came to a quick conclusions to what was wrong and agreed the more extreme method should be a last resort of 2 weeks of this current treatment.
