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.

Dr. Burgdorff did my total knee replacement. I am now 4 weeks post surgery. I am so happy with the result. To me, it was most of the time a painless experience. He and his team did a fantastic job. I was up and walking 2 hours after surgery. Now it is getting better and better. I almost feel like a younger me already! Thank you’s are not enough!!!!!!!

Dr. Bergdorff did both my right and left hips. Dr. Bergdorff did the best job ever. He has a great demeanor and answers all of your questions with real world language that you can understand. I highly recommend Dr. Bergdorff for any orthopedic needs,he is phenomenal. His office staff rocks and are all professional and caring. Judy is just a godsend just like Dr. Bergdorff she is his right hand lady. Together they make an orthopedic super team.

First time with Dr Burgdorff for a hip dysplasia consult. I was late because I was awake half the night watching the Woolsey Fire on the news & I was worried about a loved one who couldn’t be reached. Despite my tardiness, Burgdorff & his wonderful staff still agreed to see me. I didn’t wait much to be called or seen. He was very attentive and answered my questions with care and concern. I was able to have X-rays & the results in less than half an hour. Dr Burgdorff is top notch.

If you want the best surgeon available in southern California for knee or hip reconstruction or replacement, request Dr. Burgdorff at Loma Linda University. I have had 3 surgeries by Dr. Burgdorff and am so grateful for Dr. Burgdorff's exceptional expertise. The office staff and Judy were amazing.

Dr. Burgdorff replaced both of my knees with one of them being a second replacement after a motorcycle accident which made it more complicated than the usual knee replacement. I am totally happy with the results of the surgery. I just cant give enough praise for Dr. Burgdorff's ability but also for his willingness to tackle a surgery that some other Drs. refused to do. I now have my ability to walk and stand as required by the normal activities of everyday life. I thank God for Dr. Burgdorff.

Everything from office visits, pre-op, surgery, and post-op was great. Dr. Burgdorff/staff explains the procedure and the options in everyday language and is extremely caring. He listens to any concerns and puts you at complete ease with what to expect during hip replacement. I needed both hips replaced and he completed the one hip in August. What success! The pain is almost gone and getting better each day with more & more mobility. My other hip will be done soon and I can't wait! Great office!

The Doctor was fantastic. Gave a straight answer to all of my questions and spoke to me as a regular person , not talking down to me. Was very kind and listened and answered without holding back. The surgery was the best thing that ever happened to me. While recovering his response was "WALK, WALK, WALK"! His PA Judy Racine was just as wonderful and kind.

Efficiency in all phases from first appointment to post op appointment. Dr. Burgdorff was very congenial and fully explained any questions I had. The results of my surgery are going extremely well. Yes, I would recommend him to friends and relatives. Also, all the clinic, hospital, and follow-up staff surrounding him are extremely efficient and cordial. I wish to thank Dr. Burgdorff, his entire staff, and Loma Linda University for the excellent services I received.

Dr. Burgdorff is a very experienced orthopaedic surgeon. He is compassionate and explains issues that a patient can understand. During surgery my family was called as to the progress which was a great comfort. After surgery, Dr. Burgdorff came out to the waiting room to personally speak to family members as a reassurance. His staff all acted professional with compassion before surgery and after surgery which included a hospital stay of three days. My knee replacement went very well.

My knees were bone on bone, knock-kneed to the extreme, and I couldn't barely shuffle around. I saw several orthopedic surgeons, but was terrified of surgery. I felt encouraged when I was referred to Loma LInda. After seeing Dr. Burgdorff, I finally had to courage to go through with the surgery. He did total knee replacement on both knees two months apart. It was the best thing I ever did. He is amazing. My legs are straight, knees, straight, and pain free. I can walk any distance now
