Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Did a great job in correcting a bunion I had developed by fusing 1st metatarsal and limiting other possible cuts to the bone. Was able to get into a walking cast and put weight after initial 2 weeks of non-weight bearing post surgery. He listens and gives all the time you need to answer questions. Very happy so far with the outcome.

He had his PA assess me and then came in told me my xray was fine and sent me home with sheets of exercises for foot pain. I went to a different podiatrist a month later because something just wasn't right and immediately he told me I had psoriatic arthritis from my tell tale "sausage toes". A good doctor spends time with his patients and should know about the physical body part he claims to specialize in. He sucked and I was in 4 more weeks of pain than necessary because of his incompetence.

I cannot say how grateful I am to have been referred to Dr. Burgess and his team. In May I broke three bones in my foot, damaged the joint and cracked my heel bone. I had surgery putting one plate and 5 screws to hold the bone at the top of my foot, this was also attached to the joint to help the healing process. I did physical therapy so that I can learn to bend my foot again. Once I healed he recommended removing the plate since I am younger so that I can gain range of motion back in my foot. I am 12 day post op and I can say that I know I will be back to normal activity because of Dr. Burgess and his team for taking such great care. Dr. Burgess and his team always go above and beyond to make sure that their patients are taken care of! I will tell everyone I know to go to them he is simply the best.

Dr. Burgess has been a very kind and compassionate doctor. In July he saw me immediately for my broken ankle. Three surgeries later I am healed, with no pain or limp. I was very fortunate to be referred to Dr. Burgess. He did a great job and I have recommended him to my physical therapist and any one I know with ankle problems.

Dr. Burgess never took an x-ray, never even evaluated my foot. He simply gave me a boot to wear for 6 weeks and then I had another apt. where he told me to just take it off. I was still having pain and he just dismissed it. Seems to me unless you need surgery he isn't interested. I can't believe he feels comfortable billing insurance for a 2 minute conversation.
