Dr. Margaret Ellen Burnett, MD

Dr. Burnett is the most amazing neurologist you will see! She is extremely intelligent and cares so much about her patients. You're very lucky when you have Dr. Burnett as your neurologist

After years of being seen by general neurologists for multiple sclerosis, my primary care doctor and I agreed it was time for an MS specialist. I met Dr. Burnett at a luncheon and had the USC MS Center recommended by a friend with MS. My initial consultation was very thorough and I felt quite comfortable with the doctor and her staff. She gave me a few things to do before my next appointment and her staff is wonderful! My lab work was done before I left. I'll be traveling four hours round trip to see her and it's well worth it. A wealth of knowledge, caring bedside manner, and comprehensive resources right on the USC campus. What more could I ask for?

Although I live far closer to UCLA than USC's Keck Medical Center I chose to see Margaret Burnett, M.D. due to the recommendation of my former M.S. specialist in Dallas. The doctor in Texas is one of the foremost M.S. specialists in the United States and when I told him I was moving back to L.A. after my divorce was final, he told me I should see Dr. Margaret Burnett at USC. He convinced me it was worth the extra 30-45 minutes of driving time because he said that the program at USC was more aggressive in treating M.S. patients then was the program at UCLA. He had met Dr. Burnett at medical conferences and on visits and felt she was the best M.S. specialist in the Los Angeles area. I have been very grateful for his recommendation and I would recommend her highly as well.

Dr. Burnett is incredibly talented in treating MS. She is an expert in the field and applies her in-depth knowledge in a professional yet caring way. As a patient, I feel I am getting the absolute best care possible for an awful disease. Dr. Burnett is world-class.

Dr. Burnett is caring, compassionate, has an excellent bedside manner and spends plenty of time with me. I am very pleased with her care of me and her knowledge of M.S. I transferred to her care after seeing a brilliant M.S. Specialist in Dallas, TX for years. I am very happy with Dr. Burnett and her care of me. I would recommend her.

During a flare up of my Multiple Sclerosis, I was having severe headaches. I told Dr. Burnett about the pain in my head, how long it was lasting. Her response was, "it's not in your MRI." I changed doctors after that.
