Patient Reviews
Jun 03, 2024
After six weeks of Searching for answers and being denied after an injury I sustained at work, my insurance finally agreed I needed surgery. When I met Dr. Burns, I was so relieved. he actually believed me when I spoke. he gave me tissues to dry my eyes when I cried. it was really refreshing to have someone who stood up for me and cared about my situation after multiple doctors told me it was nothing and that I was fine. I trust his judgment completely, and my surgery went beautifully. (Tendon and nerve repair)
