Dr Burleson is the best!! He takes his time with you and your concerns. He is very knowledgeable with everything neck and back related that I’ve seen him about. He has done a back fusion and neck fusion on me, I’m very pleased with my care under him.

I had a telehealth visit with Dr. Burleson to discuss the results of a recent MRI. Dr. Burleson took the time to show me images of the scan and explain what was “normal” and which images were troublesome. He then took the time to explain treatment options going forward. Dr. Burleson explained all this in easy to understand language. I felt very comfortable understanding my diagnosis and treatment options.
