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.

Failed Hip Surgery
Used poor judgement. I was told I had a minor femur fracture that was weight bearing. The fracture was not weight bearing. Had a severe fracture resulting in additional surgery which also failed. Had a follow up visit with an X-ray. X-ray revealed my upper & lower trochanter had split. There were 3 metal rings holding the break in place. Told by another orthopedic surgeon only 1 was supporting the break. That surgeon at the time said he would not touch unless infected. In pain everyday! Beware & ask how many failed operations!

Compassionate, Competent Care
Dr. Burns replaced both of my hips and is now treating my right knee.Willing to “think out of the box”, Dr. Burns works with you to determine the best course of action. He is responsive to questions and not threatened by them. Competent, direct, and caring, I trust his skills and know he’s “on my team.”

Excellent Care & Communication
From the Minute I met Dr. Burns I knew he was the one to do my surgery ! Extremely Knowledgeable!! He answered every question or concern that I and my wife had without any hesitation or pause. Not full of himself like some we have all experienced. He also possesses a great sense of humor, which earns lots of extra points with me.Another quality he possesses is real manners; for example: when he enters into the room he greets my wife first! He also isn’t in rush , and genuinely listens to what we have to say. My Surgical experience was excellent, my pain management was perfect. I very highly recommend Dr Burns if you need care in the area of his specialties.

First visit
I like Dr Burns. He asked me a lot of questions about my hip issues after I had CT scan done. He gave me a diagnosis and I asked questions on what could be done. I have complete confidence in Dr. Burns.

Competent Caring Physician
I have had a TPF surgery and one knee replacement so far with Dr Burns I am currently scheduled for a second knee replacement. I highly respect Dr Burns and have even recommended him to do knee replacement surgery to 2 friends. My friends were equally satisfied with his competency and his willingness to answer any questions they had. He is a first rate Doctor in my opinion!

Very knowledgeable surgeon
I was under Dr. Burns care for over 2 years from injuries in a mva. My foot was hanging by a small piece. He managed to save it. Because there were so many injuries at one time it had to be divided up into parts for surgeries and treatment. Thankful I had a surgeon who truly knew what he could do to save my foot!

High quality care
Dr. Burns stands out as a physician who cares about his patients. He has the keen insight and experience to diagnose and treat and beyond that ensures that the treatment plan or follow-up suits the patient and will work for them. In my experience, he goes above and beyond to educate about the issue so that his patients can make wise choices about self-care and live healthy lives. He treats patients with respect.

Outstanding job repairing my Quads
Met Dr Burns when I ruptured both my quad tendons at the same time several years ago. He did a remarkable job repairing my legs and I don’t have any problems. Walking, biking, hiking, exploring…no issues. Besides his incredible talent as a surgeon, he was great with all my follow-ups. He was encouraging and explained anything I had questions about. I just recently saw him when I had a follow up for a shoulder problem. Dr Burns was welcoming, friendly, and clearly explained all my questions. I highly recommend Dr Burns and trust him implicitly.
