Dr. Travis Carter Burns, MD

I am writing to share my experience with Dr. Travis Burns, who performed a routine distal biceps surgery on me that resulted in devastating complications, including paralysis of my left hand. During the procedure, he inadvertently drilled through my motor nerve and entrapped it under the endobutton, while also cutting my radial artery. These serious issues all occurred during the same surgery. Despite the severe outcomes, Dr. Burns did not accept responsibility for what transpired. He claimed that the procedure went "perfectly" and expressed that he would "do it all over again,” insisting there was “nothing to learn” from the catastrophic outcome I faced. Based on my experience, I strongly encourage anyone seeking surgical care to choose a surgeon who prioritizes patient safety, accountability, and continuous improvement. It is crucial for a healthcare professional to acknowledge their mistakes and learn from them, rather than downplaying devastating complications.

Doctor Burns is an excellent doctor. He is friendly and takes time to listen to my concerns and answers all my questions.

I can't say enough good , Dr. Burns. I am 82 years old and broke my Femur, 6 weeks ago. Dr. Burns operated and put my leg back together. It has done well and I would recommend Dr. Burns.

Dr. Burns explained to me my condition and the best option that would give me a better life style. The Total Reverse Shoulder Operation that he performed was the best operation out of the last four that I have had on my shoulders my other doctors. The recovery time was great with less pain. I am finally able to do things again.

Over the past 3 years, Dr. Burns performed surgery to replace both my shoulder joints due to severe osteoarthritis. Both surgeries were extremely successful and without any complications. I have excellent range of motion and strength in both shoulders. Always professional, compassionate and gracious, I was completely impressed with his knowledge and surgical skill. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends or anyone needing orthopedic care! He is a wonderful physician!!
