Burney Umar's Online Review Report Card

If Burney, or anyone is doing your knee surgery, please ask how they will prevent a Valgus Deformity. See the Internet report after my comments.Burney did a knee replacement for me Sept. 2019. I went through TWO rounds of PT with his Therapists. I continued to work PT at home, but still had pain and my foot turned way out. I asked about this at least 3 other visits. Burney only remarked that the prothesis is in tact and looked fine. My knee still hurts, and my ankle is affected now! I also saw 2 other Orthopedic Surgeons in Dallas. They only looked at the exray of the prothesis and said it looked good!They too didn’t touch the fact that my foot and lower leg were turned out (valgus).This year I i’m Going through PT again! The Therapist measured my Knee to be OFF THE NEUTRAL LINE BY 22 DEGREES!!Read the Article, I have a Valgus Deformity (slant off neutral) way over the “Gold Standard.”Now i’m Into 2022, still asking for answers, and I got them! I saw a very reputable Knee Specialist. He took an X-ray of my knee and below the knee. He noted that the Valgus was off. I am going to a new PT who measured my Valgus at 22 degrees!! I’m trying my best to do PT and improve, without another surgery!Read the article! Ask your Surgeon about the Valgus!!!! ***********************The radiological definition of “normally” aligned TKA knees is debated (Abdel et al. 2014, Gromov et al. 2014), but most papers on implant survival and radiological alignment have used some deviation from the mechanical or anatomical coronal axis for definement of malalignment. Several studies have used a deviation of 3° from a neutral alignment as a threshold for what is acceptable for good long-term results (Jeffery et al. 1991, Ritter et al. 1994 and 2011, Berend et al. 2004). Such a 3° threshold has also been chosen in numerous other studies investigating results after TKA (Choong et al. 2009, Longstaff et al. 2009, Parratte et al. 2010, Huang et al. 2012), and an alignment within 3° of the mechanical axis has been considered to be the gold standard (Lombardi et al. 2011). Based on this, we decided to use a deviation from the neutral mechanical axis of 3° as the threshold between normally aligned and malaligned TKA knees.We found that one third of the patients had a mechanical axis that deviated from 3° to 11° from the neutral mechanical axis, with 20% of the femoral components and 16% of the tibial components being outliers (> 3° varus or valgus).Sent From Lou Crouch"May all we do Honor Him!"

Do not use Dr. Burney if you have heart disease! His lack of cardio vascular knowledge and not aligning with my husband's cardiologist, caused my husband to suffer a stroke after surgery. I allerted my clients of this disasterous result and major setback.

My 10 year old hip revision is still in place. Dr. Burney is a skilled, compassionate surgeon.

Fantastic Job on my R hip replacement! Scar looks really good. Legs are even…that was my biggest fear of having this done. I never even used the pres. pain medication. He explained what was needed and what to expect. Assisted in getting PT and home health. I could not have had a better experience!

Dr. Burney did hip replacement surgery on my right hip in March. He also did meniscus surgery on my knee 10 years ago. I recommend him and his office if you need any help with knees or hips. He does not waste your time but answers any questions you have. I found him to be very encouraging after my hip surgery. His office responded to my calls in a timely manner and I never had to wait long to be seen. I would recommend him to family and friends.

Dr. Burney did a shoulder procedure on my 83 year old mother on Thursday. We asked for assistance in setting up home health to assist her prior to the surgery, immediately after the surgery, the day after, and today, Monday. In the conversation prior to the the surgery, my mother asked the assistant if she would be able to go to rehab. She told her Dr. Burney did not like for his patients to go to rehab. When she asked how she was going to dress and bath herself without assistance, the lady told her "you have another arm don't you" . Who says that to a patient?Her insurance company has tried to reach out to them as well. They have yet to return a call. Dr. Burneys reply to me the day of the surgery was that the insurance company would probably not cover home health for three tiny incisions on a shoulder. Seriously? We already got approval from the insurance company.Mom is in so much pain that she can't sleep. She can't tolerate the meds because they make her nauseous. Shes the mother of three sons. No daughters to assist her personal needs. You only get a voicemail if you call the office and they state that they only return calls after 5:00. It's 8:00 and no return call. I practically begged them to get help in my voicemail. Tomorrow I will visit the office as the insurance company will not authorize home health without a prescription from the Dr. Hopefully they will get this review and take care of their patient as they should.

Dr. Burney completed my wife’s knee surgery yesterday and did an amazing job. Scheduling the surgery with his office was an absolute nightmare until the supervisor took over. Happy overall with the practice but hope we never have to schedule another surgery...

I love all the personal they are so professional and polite,after arriving very early I was served and was leaving before my appointment.Dr. Burney did a wonderful job on my knee.

Dr Burney was amazing. He finally diagnosed my hip pain I've been having for 12 years! The whole staff here is amazing! I was seen in a timely manner and I am so happy with the care I received here! Would recommend Dr Burney to anyone!
