Dr. J Burdine, MD

I can NOT believe the reviews I'm reading. I almost cried.When no-one would help me Dr. Burdine was and still is my angel.Omg,my psin has been very very bad and this Dr. hit my problems on target every time. NO MISTAKES. He's always been nice,his staff has always been nice.Never had any attitudes. ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS? I would never give up my Dr.This Dr. has been working with me 2 years and has only gotten better.Never went backwards in treatment. Always on point.This is the most loe and caring doctor I have ever encountered. I don't know if I would've made it if I hadn't been connected with Dr.Burdine. I really mean that.You guys had to be rude to say these things happened. It's not right to slander this man.God be merciful to you all..I AM FOREVER INDEBTED to this man.

He comes in exam room agitated, rude and when I try to speak and tell him how bad pain and changes in my spine are he is rude and interrupts and tells me, "So, Tell me why you're here today", and I try to tell him again and he rudely interrupts again and tells me, "I only have 2 minutes and other patients to see", then he still does not allow me to express my concerns and he c rushes out exam room still less than those 2 minutes and when he never returns back I finally open the exam room door to call to a nurse or for him and he's no where in sight and a medical asst. tells me he's with other patients and that I could go now. I explained that he has not given me my prescriptions so asst. walks me to front desk and they said they already sent my scripts to my pharmacy electronically, but once I left Dr. Burdine's office that day...my pharmacy had still never received my scripts from them. The next week comes and each day I am still calling my pharmacy as well as Dr. Burdine office but… to no avail. I kept calling and was forced to leave his nurse (who I later found out she was out sick for a while) messages pleading for them to call my meds in to my pharmacy. THEIR POLICY when leaving his nurse a message states when transferred to her voicemail, that you must allow the nurse 72 hours/3days to return your call and not to leave multiple messages, and they never do refills of med'school on Friday's. Well, when no-one still responded day after day, I called and told their front desk that I was up the road from them at my other medical appt. and mentioned that i'll be driving to Dr. Burdine's shortly to come pick up my medication prescriptions myself because NO NURSE or anyone has still attempted to return my call or send my scripts in to my pharmacy still. But front desk told me "No, do not just come up here, I'll give the nurse your message to call you". Again, no call came. I was home 2 more days later and my pharmacy told me that Dr. Burdine sent only 1 of my scripts in and when they told me that he dropped my Norco meds down to 5's and he only prescribed about 2 weeks worth, well, I was shocked and upset too. I was born with chronic and severe painful conditions that there is NO CURES FOR and prognosis worsens. My kids are also affected and so will their children be because there is no cure for these. He took away ALL OF MY OTHER MEDICINES, everything, and now he only gives me 1 medicine at its lowest form, Norco 5, but only about 2 weeks worth of it if I stretch it out. He is very aware that I also suffer from other injuries when I was hurt this year and suffer from those injuries as well from accident. I cannot get my pain med from my family's primary. Dr. Burdine never treats me or even looks at me kindly. I've never been to any other pain treatment doctor before, never. I found out that no-one else will see patients who want to seek other pain management treatment elsewhere because once the other Dr.'s offices hear you've been under Dr. Burdine care, well, they just dismiss me and do not want to take me as a patient. I've not been discharged or fired by Dr. Burdine's office, but it's like he does NOT want to be my doctor because his actions are pushing and forcing me away to have to seek help elsewhere, but how can I do ghat with all these road blocks? His office told me it was his own choice to take away my other message and his decision to knock my Norco down to less than 2 weeks worth and down to Norco 5's. It's a disgrace how I am suffering severely. For the first time ever, I read on hear you people's experiences with him and his office too. It's a SHAME that good, honest folks with no other options for pain management cannot seek and find help to any accord. It should be illegal that he can just walk into an exam room and then quickly WALTZ out and then choose to NOT prescribe any medicines that will help to ease my/our pain just to help us mobilize and be able to complete the few minor daily tasks we are forced to do at home just to survive. IT'S NOT GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE TO SUFFER 24 HOURS EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE, "EVERY WAKING MOMENT OF EVERY SECOND!" My diagnoses are chronic, permanent and affects every and absolutely 100% of my body, inside & out!!! Dr. Burdine has NOT ordered or performed any test or other to see if my conditions have worsen or improved and he just thinks that everyone, EVERYONE & I GUESS that includes mr, that we are all drug addicts, etc.... I DO NOT SMOKE, NEVER EVEN DRINKER AND NEVER TOOK DRUGS BEFORE and never been accused of it either. But, Dr. Burdine passes judgement which makes the honest, innocent folks like myself SUFFER!!!!! PAIN IS PAIN and when it's CHRONIC & PERMANENT, it totally takes away your ability to have & live life!!! Dr. Burdine SHAME-ON-YOU!!!!!!!!! YOU need 2 treat people, all people with the DIGNITY & RESPECT they deserve. YOU know how, but, you've been doing this for so long that YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN that we are people, REAL PEOPLE, and NOT all of us are DISHONEST or drug-abusers either. You should NOT condemn honest persons such as myself to SUFFER because of what your experiences with bad patients or drug abusers have done to you. I TRULY AM SUFFERING DR. BURDINE. Wish I could help you see that and have you treat me the way you first did.

very rude dr. getting old, time to retire . he thinks he has been sent from heaven. too sure of himself. he makes me sick.

This man is the worst md I have ever had encounters with.... He was tying to plea bargin with me to stop smoking in order to get anything for my pain.....Jesus I thought I was seeing a pain management specialist not a smoking program that my insurance offers for free He didn't even spend 5 mins talking to me about my pain Will never see him again nor not refer anyone to him

very hard to get a hold of doctor. All calls it seems goes into voice mail and then when i have left a message, no one calls me back. Very frustrating

I began seeing Dr. Burdine following a 3rd spinal surgery (by another physician) which provided less than adequate relief. On my initial appointment with Dr. Burdine, I found him to be extremely caring and actually listened to what I had to say. He spent over an hour in the treatment room with me, which in this day & age in medicine, is almost unheard of! He has treated me with the utmost respect and kindness and has helped me with my pain both with medication and additional types of treatment. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with the treatment of chronic, debilitating pain. In addition, on each subsequent appointment, he has spent no less than 50 minutes and often more time, in the room with me, listening to my issues and talking to me about treatment options. He is such a kind man and I highly recommend him for anyone who feels they have failed to receive the type of treatment or patient/doctor interaction at other places in the past . I would also like to… comment on his staff in general, from those at the front desk to the medical assistants and nurse practitioners. Each of these individuals were also very kind, always had a smile, and treated me with respect. Dr. Burdine and his staff receive a 5 Star rating in my opinion! If anyone out there is in chronic pain and feel they have been unable to find a physician to help them, both in the physical and emotional sense, I highly recommend that you schedule an appointment with Dr. Burdine as soon as possible!!

Dr. Burdine has a serious god-complex and my attorney and my pharmacist independently agreed with me during conversation. He is not up to date on the latest procedures and medications available concerning pain management and he is suspicious of anyone that criticizes his diagnosis. There are more and more people today that have higher and higher tolerances to medication, and he refuses to acknowledge that fact. I have been treating with him just less than a year, and he has NEVER gotten my pain under control. He has now just recently discharged me from his "care" because, in his official discharge report, "he didn't want to treat me anymore". Now, as a discharged patient, no other doctor or pain management facility in all the state will treat me. I cannot even get an appointment with another doctor. Not even the Emergency Room will write me the scripts I was taking to manage my pain. I am now on a national database as a "drug seeker" and a "drug abuser". I was in the process… of trying to transfer to see Dr. Sandra Weitz as my pain management doctor when Dr. Burdine suddenly and abruptly discharged me. However, it is every pain management clinic's standard policy to not accept any patient who has been previously discharged. Dr. Burdine KNEW this when he discharged me. I have been without ANY medication at all for the past three months and I am in pain every single minute of the day. I seriously recommend anyone who is looking for pain management to stay far away from this man.

I was with Dr. Burdine for a year. He was ok in regards to educating me on what is wrong with my condition and giving medicines I needed for quite some time. However, he was very rude at times too. I had a major problem with the procedure he did where he burned nerves in hopes of taking the pain away. This is a VERY expensive procedure but said it could give me pain relieve for a year, so I was willing to try. After getting over the pain of the procedure for a month. I had minimal pain relief for a couple weeks. When they put me on a new medicine, the nurses who were in charge of ordering and giving me directions to administer it did horrible job, in short, causing me more pain, money, and anguish. They did not care to help correct this matter in any way so I had had enough and went to a different doctor.

He is thorough and well informed. He has treated me for several years now and I drive a great distance to see him. He is a doctor that not only listens to you, he also hears what your are saying to him. I highly recommend him to anyone who has a serious pain problem.

What a wonderful man. He has to be one of the Louisiana's best.
