Patient Reviews
May 19, 2024
Dr Burkus has performed multiple surgeries on me. My neck was completely immobilized and my lumbar disks were a mess. I couldn’t walk. I can walk and move my neck. Dr Burkus stopped taking my insurance but I appreciate everything he has done for me. My life has been much better because of him and Bryan. If you get to see Dr Burkus consider yourself lucky and follow his instructions.
