I was first seen by PA Brandon who was very professional and understanding of my pain and fears (i am disabled 80 Yr old who suffered injury to both wrists due to a fall). Dr. Burgess was away from office so I did not meet him until after MRIs and reports came in. His attention was immediate, clear, caring and an excellent listener. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Burgess - by the way was recommended by my podiatrist, Dr McAllister. If Brandon is available, I also recommend him. As for the scheduling staff and front desk, they are polite and attentive. We did run into some glitches BUT they demonstrated they were doing their best to resolve and they did. I am looking forward to my follow-ups!
Professional and provides details of what to expect. Patient and answers all questions without making you feel rushed. Procedure was just as explained and follow up was easy.
He's just awesome how he explained the procedures for the surgery on my hand and explained everything I'm so happy that I'm seeing him I feel so relaxed him and his staff they're just great people all around you should be very happy!!👍👍👍👍👍
The finest and professional Doctor!! He has kept up on my procedure and also well-being of my pre-op and post- op..I am very satisfied with surgical procedure..If I came across anyone that needed help like i did....i surely would let them know about Dr. Burgess!..with any hand issues..
Dr. Burgess is amazing. He has done my brothers carpal tunnel (bilateral), my mom's trigger finger & now my carpal tunnel. I had previously seen him for tennis elbow years ago too. My husband sees him too as well as my friends. I recommend him to everyone!!!! My brother told me about him years ago & he is beyond picky so for him to like Dr. Burgess is a true compliment. Dr. Burgess hasn't just crafted his skill, he is super friendly as well (rare with doctors). His reviews speak for themselves.
Highly recommend, never seems rushed, but addresses your questions in easy to understand language.
Great Doctor
Muy buena atención y siempre con la mejor actitud y tratando de cuidar de mi mano muy agradecida por su servicio muy buen “Dr
I didn't meet Dr. Burgess, but his staff was very professional.
He was attentive, caring and so knowledgeable about the hands. I actually learned something new today about my symptoms. And he actually did a treatment on my first visit to help east my pain of 25 years. I am so thankful to have been referred to him by 2 other doctors. I would give him 10 stars if it was available. Thank you 🙏
