“Thankful for Dr Burks”
I am truly grateful and blessed to have found Dr Burks to do my surgery. After suffering so long, Dr Burks took the time to listen to my symptoms and compare them with my MRI and come up with the best plan. This is after another doctor spent 5 minutes with me and offered an extreme and unnecessary surgery. He treated me more like a member of his family than just another patient. From pre-op to recovery Dr Burks has been amazing. Would highly recommend him for anyone with spinal issues.

Dr. Burks is very thorough when explaining the procedure and also the possible prognosis. He is very well mannered in the clinic and also at bedside in the hospital. I would highly recommend him as your neurosurgeon especially for peripheral nerve surgery.

I had a really good experience with Dr Burks today. Dr Burks explained why surgical intervention is not needed in my case. He showed me my cervical issue on the imaging, which was really helpful and also encouraging the steps I am already taking to be pain free. He also suggested other tools like a neck brace. The wait to see Dr Burks was long. I don't mind it but it would have been great to know ahead of time what to expect.
