Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Burke treatment for shoulder pain
Very to the point with his exam, pinpointed the issue and gave me the answer I was looking for. Very impressed with Dr Burke. Had both knees replaced by Dr. Burke several years back and continue to be a patient for anything I need to have checked out.

Rude & Condescending
Dr. Burke was very rude and tried to talk down to me as if I were an uneducated old lady. If I ever did decide to go for a complete arthroscopy, I certainly would NOT TRUST someone like him as he has already lied to me numerous times.

Phenomenal!
What really stands out for me with Dr. Burke that I really appreciate is that he will give it to you straight. I just learned at my appointment with him on yesterday that the reason my knees knock is due to the severe arthritis. All this time I thought it was something that couldn't be fixed. He's a phenomenal doctor. Very kind, has great 'bedside' manners.

Dr. Burke and his physician assistant listen to my concerns and respond in a way that I can understand. I appreciated that I was not just another patient, but they genuinely cared about my concerns. Everyone in that office is amazing.

Dr. Burke Answers ALL Questions Thoroughly
In severe pain I called and was able to be seen next day. They did X-ray in office. Dr. Burke was able to view and diagnose immediately. His explanation was in terms I can understand. He took the time to answer my questions. He provided short term help and we are making arrangements for long term care.

Total Hip Arthroplasty
I came to Dr Burke for a Second Opinion about my right hip. Dr Burke listened to what I had to say was wrong with my right hip. We made a plan and he ordered MRI of my knee and a Arthrogram of my right hip. He read the results to me and sent me to his colleague Dr Munchie the Pain Management Doctor for a right hip pain injection. After going back to Dr Burke I told him I was still in Serve pain in my right hip. He made the decision to do a Total hip Arthroplasty on me. After the Total Hip Arthroplasty I feel a lot better and have less pain. Thank you Dr Burke.

Professional, knowledgeable and friendly
Since 2009, I have seen Doctor Burke and his staff for two knee replacements and two shoulder repairs. He explains everything, friendly and listens to me and my wife while waiting after my surgeries. No different on this visit when I injured my knee. I highly recommend Dr. Burke if you need the best!

Dr. Burke was amazing! He took the time to explain my knee issue and order all the tests to be complete the same day. He was ready to perform the needed surgery the same week. Surgery went well. I highly recommend him.

Knowledgable and relatable
I visited Dr. Burkes Gulfway location and Pearland location and found both offices to be efficiently run. I was seen an hour early at one appointment and right on time at the other.Dr. Burke was professional and straight to the point about what my knee needs were. He clearly explained what my issue was, and what his plan was to repair the problem. I am confident of a good result from my upcoming procedure.
