Signature Medical Group

I have needed Dr. Burns' care for my orthopedic health issues. I have RA and OA and have had several very painful joints that had deteriorated past the manageable point over the course of several years.
Dr. Burns let me decide when it was too painful to handle anymore. He never pressured me into any surgery which showed respect for me.
I have had both knees and hips replaced within the last several years. My recovery has progressed through his skills, help and encouragement and with physical therapy which is an integral part of recovery.
I am very thankful that I am no longer in the extreme pain in which I lived.
Thank you Dr. Burns!!!

Dr Burns and his staff are so informative and knowledgeable. They take the time to explain everything. I am a disabled Veteran, and Dr Burns treats me better than any orthopedic surgeon I have ever met. He is AMAZING!
Recommend him to all

I was treated by Michael Burns’ physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner (?) & that was fine because my problem is small compared to other patients. The guy was very professional, thorough, and personable. I did not feel rushed & he answered all questions & then some. Five stars all the way around. The place is HUGE, but seems to be a well-oiled machine! Vicki L.

I have been a patient of Dr. Burns since 2010. In 2010, Dr. Burns performed a total knee replacement on my left knee. Throughout the whole process, from the pre-op sessions through recovery, he and his team couldn't have been more helpful. Their knowledge regarding the procedure as well as the empathy they had for my condition was outstanding! It is a long recovery process, but the detailed recovery plan that they followed while leading you through it certainly lessened the recovery time as well as ensuring a complete recovery that I really don't think I could have experienced anywhere else. I see them every year now for a follow up and they continue to provide the best care out there!

After a hip replacement for me and two knee replacements for my wife, we are very happy with the results we've gotten from this group. The staff has been friendly and helpful, and St. John's Mercy is a great hospital to have surgery in.
