Dr. Richard Burke, MD

I have been to three doctors for my health problem. Dr. Burke gave me hope that he could definitely give me relief from my pain.

Initial consultation was encouraging but every step (three tedious,non-productive months) were a veritable nightmare!

He has helped my husband for years and he wouldnt have made it without Dr Burke. He is top notch.

Very learned. An exceptional Dr.

Dr. Burke treated me for pain several times. He listens patiently and explains with detail. His expertise wise pain medicine has been a lifesaver for me

Richard Burke has given me a near pain free life. I have neuropathy in my feet and although it is difficult to walk, at least the level of pain is manageable. He is a pure professional and in a way, a good friend. He also mentioned one day, knowing I am a vet, he said you know, we have to take good care of our veterans. That was very meaningful.

An outstanding physician, efficient, effective, and most importantly compassionate and extremely kind. I cannot more highly recommend a pain physician then Dr Burke.

Complete lack of communication with the patient. Hospital told me I was approved for a procedure, went to get it done to find out I was not. Had to get another procedure first. Did that procedure but was told to see another doctor. The other doctor agreed I should get the original procedure planned. Went back to dr Burke after hospital called and said I could have it 109% without another test procedure. When I got there it was the same story. I was not getting the procedure. Dr blamed it in the insurance company. The hospital never called to say it was not authorized or had to be changed. I took off work and tracked again fir the second time to be told at the hospital not a phone call no communication and the doctor could have cared less. Not a good doctor or a good facility. They don’t know what they are doing.

insisted on my being seen by a psychiatrist prior to seeing me; even though my records contra-indicated such a step. I was requested a repeat radial frequency ablation treatment. I recommend going to the pain clinic in Big Rapids. Very professional and they have an excellent anesthesiologists. with no ridiculous mental bs.
