James Travis Burt's Online Review Report Card

I had surgery on my cervical spine with a herniated disc being removed. I think the team did a great job as I had to use no pain medication afterwards as they prescribed. They always treated me nice and were very polite.

Receptionist has not a clue what the doctor is doing

He was very kind came and talked with me before taking me back to surgery

Over a year ago I had back surgery that changed my life. I had been to so many doctors throughout my life (birth defect) and they were not able to find a solution. Dr. Burt and team were able to explain to me exactly what was wrong and my options. I loved that they were honest and direct throughout my treatment. I am back (no pun intended) to a full life of hiking and having fun thanks to this team. I laugh a little at the negative reviews about friendliness, I needed intelligence, and information, not a friend,- and that is what I received. Thank you for removing the pain from my life and giving me quality back!

I was RN for 43 years & have the spine to prove it. I highly recommend Dr. Burt bc of his surgical expertise. He has performed my surgery as well as 2 other family members. Did well post op & no complications. He was always professional & polite. Clear & concise answers to all my questions. He goes the extra mile to acquire what his patients need. He shoots straight & no bs. I knew he was good ahead of visit bc of healthcare friends in the OR. His patients do well post op. That was of the Utmost Importance to me.

Blames the patient when another doctor refers you to him when surgery is not needed. How would we know? He gets paid for the visit, so just be POLITE about it! I do not recommend.

I am a workers comp patient so I guess that’s why he treated me poorly, I drove 2hrs to talk to him for 10 seconds, he doesn’t listen to understand he listens to respond, worse experience I ever had from a doctor actually the first time I’ve had a bad experience with a doctor.

Dr. Burt was the 5th doctor I saw. The rest could not find the problem, he zeroed right in on it. I had a shattered neck. My quality of life was at almost zero. He did surgery rebuilt three vertebrae, put into artificial disc and a metal plate in my neck. After suffering for several years with this Affliction I was finally able to get on with my life. And I must say my quality of life is that almost 100%. I'm 71 years old and I had this surgery 15 years ago and we have. I can't thank him enough.

I went to Dr Burt for a discectomy in October of this year and I have to say that I was thoroughly pleased with the care that I received before and after surgery. Dr. Burt and his physicians assistant discussed every option with me and were upfront with any complications with whatever treatment I decided to go. I chose to have surgery and everything went well, even finding other issues and fixing them when they did the procedure. I went home the next day and did my part to heal quickly. I returned to work a little over 4 weeks after surgery and haven't had any issues from what was repaired. I would recommend highlands neurosurgery and Dr. Burt to anyone needing a specialist. I am ecstatic about my results!

I hate that i have to even give him one star just to be able to post a review because he deserves nothing. My mom is 76 years old and he done nothing but degraded her! Im on vacation so hes lucky i wasnt with her and my older sister. I was an employee of BRMC for several years and the way he treated her and the things he said makes me feel ashamed to have even worked there!
