Brian D. Burke's Online Review Report Card

The worst bedside manner. Sends you home the same day knee replacement with no instructions for a lay person to keep you comfortable pain wise and care for you properly. It’s been six months since my surgery and still can’t sleep through the night for the pain. He has no explanation?

Dr Burke and staff are very professional and helpful.Dr Burke himself is not only knowledgeable but has a pleasant sense of humor not found in many at his high level of medicine.Dr Burke has repaired my torn shoulder replaced a knee and will be replacing another soon.Glad I found I them.

I can recommend Dr Burke with the highest level of confidence. He replaced my shoulder saved my rotator cuff and fixed the 3 humerus fractures during the same surgery. In 2 weeks I’m walking around without my sling. He is professional informative and a delight to work with. I’m so grateful to Dr Burke and wish I saw him 10 years ago to fix my many shoulder problems

Ive seen Dr Burke multiple times and I highly recommend him

I’ve had continuous shoulder problems for 6 years now. I saw two previous doctors about this issue and they rushed their conclusions and treated the issue as it were nothing. After seeing Dr. Burke he truly cared about my well being and treated the issue seriously. Because of this I was able to get the necessary diagnosis and now I’m on the treatment for my shoulders. I’ve lived in different countries and experienced several health systems around the world and I’ve never met a more professional caring and positive doctor in my life. Highly recommended

If I could rate less than 1 star I would. He did a hip replacement on me in 2019. I woke up and could not feel my leg. He said he must have “irritated” the sciatic nerve during surgery but it would get better in a few weeks. It did NOT. I got worse. An EMG and NCS test showed severe nerve damage. My hip leg foot and back pain never stopped. The last time I saw him he said it would be another YEAR. I requested all my files and was shocked to see that his reports did NOT match what he told me 17 months and many doctors later they found that the back pain is due to pinched nerves I am crippled I need a brace and cane to walk. My leg foot and back hurt constantly. My HIP hurts worse than before the surgery I wish I had not had surgery So many things I loved I can no longer do. I wish I had never laid eyes on Brian Burke A word to the wise find another doctor BUT if you do go to him demand to see your xrays and request the office notes so you know the truth.

The last time I saw him he said it would be another year. I requested all my files and was shocked to see that his reports did NOT match what he told me 17 months and many doctors later they found the back pain was caused by pinched nerves. The pain never stop. I am crippled. I need a brace and cane to walk and my HIP hurts worse than before the surgery. I wish I had NOT had surgery and wish that I never laid eyes on Brian Burke I am living in constant pain and can no longer do many of the things I loved. A word to the wise find another doctor BUT if you do go to him demand to see your xrays and request the office notes.

Dr. Burke did my total knee replacement in August. While I initially trusted him to do my surgery the after effects were my worst nightmare. My incision opened up after 3 weeks and became infected. He immediately placed me on 3 antibiotics without culturing the infection. He proceeded to send me back for 2 wound treatments in the hospital and put me on a small skin vacum for superficial skin issues which did nothing as I now had a wound 1 inch long and 1 inch deep which he SURGICALLY stitched up knowing I had a hole in my leg. Nightmare continued and he never recommended I see a wound specialist as my situation was NOT in his expertise. Tied to cover his tracks by stitching up a hole vs. recommending I seek proper medical treatment. Think twice before letting him be your orthopedic. The assistants in his office were so kind to me but my problem was his admittance of failure in my treatment and referring me to the right doctor. Am starting month 4 of this problem

Great experience

I would never recommend Dr.Burke I was sent by workers comp to visit Dr. Brian Burke four days after I twisted my right ankle and fractured my fibula at work. He removed my temporary cast I had from ER and because I did not want a surgery at this time and he gave me short cast boot said I can walk in it and sent me to do a sedentary work. No concern about any rehab pain nonweigh bearing status for right leg. I had only crutches from ER and it was sufficient for Dr. Burke that I will walk and go back to work. On my question how I will get around pass steps take a shower and get to work he said to ask my employer and his smart front desk young woman said I can call uber. He is a businessman but not a doctor and his staff is ungrateful. Thank God I found another doctor who took care of me. You should not walk on fractured leg or bear weight for at least 68 weeks – it can be found even on internet. The orthopedic boot should be tall to support my whole leg and help with heeling. These are only a couple things to point out how badly he treated me. Dr. Brian Burke was setting me for a failure. Please be advise before you visit him. I do not recommend Dr. Brian Burke for any patient to visit him.
