Dr. Burke saved my Husband from being in a wheelchair. He made a trip to the Hospital just because he heard from staff that My husband was in the hospital. So he came over and got him emergency surgery within 2 hours. Great bedside manner and care. Thankgod for him.

Likes talking about himself. His staff is very nice but once he gets in the room it all goes quiet. He is not a good doctor.

Dr Burke has helped me to be to get my pain under control to the point that I am able to work again.he listens closely to all my questions an concerns and takes the time to thourghly explain them to me at the level that I can understand much more so than the surgeon that referred me,I have always had the feeling that he genuinely cares about my health and well being. I would defiantly recommend him to family and Freinds

I was a patient at Munson hospital and Dr. Burke yanked my epidural for pain out without notifying me. He put me in the worst pain situation of my life and didn't do a thing about it. I'd highly advise against going to see him for anything. He has a horrible bedside manor, and is obviously one of the pysicians out there that went into health care for the wrong reason. Give it up pal!!

He is very unproffesional. He inplanted a stimulator in me and after the third time of doing it is still not working right.I am worse off after seeing him then I was when I started.I thought it was just me but I know of two other people in my neighborhood who says the same thing.If you have a choice do not go and see him.
