Not surprised by these reviews. He takes advantage of vulnerable people and does invasive procedures without proper protocol. I know this from direct experience and also supported a friend who was assaulted by him a decade ago. When I encountered him myself last summer it only hit me hours later that it was the same guy… when I checked back in with my friend. Sickening.

Sadistic is only the beginning of what this doctor does to his patients. I'm surprised no one has reported him.

A sadistic doctor who takes advantage of the elderly. Saw him at Muir and he didn't take take an adequate history or disregarded it and then stabbed us in the back. Do not trust this man.

Dr. Burke sent a very sick kidney dialysis patient home with oral medication that contracted shingles. After a few days the patient had brain seizures at work and had to be induced in a coma. It turned for the worse when the patient had a serious brain infection, due to this doctors complete lack of medical training. The patient should have been hospitalized and had a spinal tab to determine if the virus traveled to his brain. A person is better off seeing a Vet.

I had the most horrible experience with this ER Doctor. first of, he wrote out a prescription for me that i didnt ask for or need. he lets his personally crap get in the way of his job.its no wonder he is being sued left and right.he is a vindictive ,conniving, thief and a scammer. he takes advantage of elderly citizens of their vulnerability. bi would never recommend this doctor to anyone on their death bed.
