Care That Makes a Personal Difference

Mark A.

"Professional Staff. From the professional staff to Dr. Burnett, I received timely and excellent care."

"After my surgery I received a call from Dr. Burnett in the evening. Dr. Burnett provided me with a personal number to contact him directly if I had any questions. The Hospital experience from Pre-Op to same day surgery was just as professional. Talk about being in good hands. Thank you."

Kathy B.

"From my first visit until the follow up of my second surgery, I was treated with respect and a very caring doctor."

"He was very knowledgeable and confident of the problem with my knees. He answered any questions I had whether in his office or from home promptly. His bedside manner at both hospital stays was excellent. He was very assuring and listened to my concerns. Both myself, and my husband said that Dr. Burnett has reinstated our faith in physicians practice.

Rosemarie O.

"Explained everything in simple language and made me feel completely at ease. Was fantastic."

Karen E.

"Dr. Burnett is amazing! I was back to doing most of the activities and sports I love in 6 weeks."

"His daily texts kept me motivated and knowing if I was where I should be in the healing process. The first 3 weeks were difficult. I would email Dr. Burnett frequently and he would respond quickly with the information I needed. He is very professional, warm, friendly, and very approachable. He understands that athletes want to get back to what they love as quickly as possible. I will be going back when I need my other knee replaced."

Conrad W.

"Amazing experience with Dr Burnett and his team."

"Results have been way beyond my hopes. The recovery process and end result have been perfect. Daily improvements. Im in my 6-7th week and hip feels like im 20 again!! Thank you."
