    Best experience with a doctor to date.

    Dr. Burrus and the team supporting him were by far the most understanding and helpful group of people to help fix my leg.

    Shoulder Surgery - Replacement

    My father (69 years of age) went to Dr. Burrus for his shoulder replacement. My father was extremely pleased and as a son, I was very pleased with the Doctor. He was incredibly transparent and available. Would definitely request his services if they are needed!!

    Outstanding Physician and Person

    I am 76 and have seen very many doctors, but I don't believe I have ever had one that I would grade at 5 stars, across the board. Doc Burrus is not only an excellent physician, but also a very good "people person". I haven't ever had a Dr that communicated, and was so fully patient oriented. He is the first, and only one that uses all means available, including email, to keep in touch with his people. And I believe that is what makes him stand out. His patients are his "people"!

    Inspires confidence, very caring.

    I just had surgery today. Couldn't wait to rave about Dr Burris in every facet of care. Pre-op checks were thoroughly done and explained. He answered a list of questions I had before even asking them. Great at pre-op. Explained the procedure and results to my wife after surgery while I was in recovery. He was also great about communication via email. Inspires confidence on the future of my knee.

    Overall Best Physician Experience Yet

    First visit I was seen at exactly my appointment time and felt that I was given the red carpet treatment. Dr. Burrus was attentive and listened to all my symptoms prior to the exam. After a thorough exam, he gave a clear and descriptive diagnosis. I have had my knee surgery done, and my follow up visits are as prompt and thorough as my first. I love the staff-they are genuine and caring!

    I highly recommend Dr. Burrus

    I had an excellent experience with Dr. Burrus. I was able to get an appointment quickly, and he responded promptly to emails outside of working hours. During exams, he listened carefully to me and explained his insights in an easily understood manner. Most impressive to me is his unwillingness to jump to conclusions. If there is a natural and less invasive solution to what ails you, that is his first choice. I highly recommend Dr. Burrus.

    Bucket Handle Tear of Meniscus Repair

    I would (and have been) highly recommend Dr. Burrus to my family and friends. I was able to get an appointment with him much quicker than other orthopedic surgeons. He was very honest, straight forward, and clear in explaining my options. What I really appreciate about him is that I was able to email him, versus having to call his office, leave a message, and wait for a call back. My surgery and recovery have gone well, and bonus - you can barely see my scar! Thanks Dr. Burrus and team!!!

    Couldn't be happier

    Dr. Burrus has been incredible from the get go. He allowed me to talk about my history with a chronic shoulder dislocation. We discussed options and he went into detail about each and what he would recommend based on time, my job, my out of pocket expense, and long term goals. He was never pushy about any particular thing and extremely informative. Coming to see him was the best decision I've made.

    Great Patient Care

    Dr. Burrus and his staff provided exceptional care. From the time when I was in the ER to my post-op visits, he was very calm, approachable and openly listened to concerns and questions. He was trustworthy and alleviated the stress from a difficult injury for both myself and my family. Without hesitation, I highly recommend his office and his services as a surgeon.

    Very positive experience, would highly recommend.

    This was the first time I have ever needed a surgery. I had an ACL reconstruction with Dr. Burrus. He was very clear on the procedure and did everything he could to make sure I was ready for the surgery. The recovery was great, he answered all the questions I had, and he is very responsive. It has been 5 months now and I am back to doing my normal routine, running and working out on my knee with no issues. I had a great experience and I would definitely recommend him and his team!

    Most *EXCELLENT* orthopedic surgeon!!

    Dr. Burrus was the doc on call when I wound up in the ER after a terrible fall injury with resultant fractures. I will be eternally grateful for his exceptional clinical expertise & attention to detail in a stressful situation, not to mention his incredible surgical acumen & thoughts toward surgical after-care. I was provided every possible medical advantage because of his expertise. I could not ask for anything more. He is an annointed, gifted healer and surgeon. God Bless Dr. Burrus!!!

    We are very happy with Dr. Burrus. He listened to what was going on with our 13 year old's ankle and her previous diagnosis. He was able to find the best way to approach the surgery and her outcome was great. She is able to play select soccer again with no pain. We would definitely recommend Dr. Burrus to everyone.

    Hip Problems Completely Resolved Thanks to Dr. Burrus

    I was referred to Dr. Burrus for surgery for a torn labrum in my right hip. During pre-op assessment, Dr. Burrus expertly recognized some additional bone abnormalities that were likely a cause of significant pain and came up with a plan to address these during surgery. His diagnosis was spot on and the surgery a remarkable success. The recovery was extremely easy and three months out from surgery all of my symptoms have resolved and I have no pain and full range of motion again.

    Went from pain to new way of life without it.

    Terrible pain in my hip kept me from being active and sleeping well at night. I explained to Dr Burrus the issue and after taking an xray he was able to explain to me the issue I was having...It very informative and gave me the direction I needed to go strengthen the muscles that were weak and causing the bursitis in the hip. A steroid injection was helpful to the place where my therapist could work with me and help me to exercise. I truly appreciate the knowledge I have now thanks to Dr Burrus.

    Dr. Burrus is a fantastic up and coming doctor. He is quick and to the point and doesn't waste any time. My surgery went very will and the recovery was even better. Hopefully I never have to see him again, but if I have the need the will be no question he will be my surgeon.

    Beyond impressed with Dr Burrus - you won't be disappointed!

    I was beyond impressed with my experience with Dr Burrus. He was thorough in treating my trimalleolar fracture and actively listened to all of my questions, as well as my concerns. He explained my injury and laid out all steps so I knew what to expect for care and recovery. His staff was courteous and professional, as well. His specialty is shoulder but he can take care of all your ortho needs, I'm proof of that!

    Highly Recommend

    My shoulder has been ailing for the last 10 years due to a sports injury. I have seen multiple doctors about the injury but none of them truly listened to my problem and tried understanding exactly what I was dealing with on a daily basis. Dr. Burrus listened very well, and then explained to me the entire process of MRI and physical therapy. Everything was well explained. The follow up was also well appreciated. I feel like Dr. Burrus and I are on the same page and have the same goal. Great Doc!

    Labral Tear in Shoulder

    Dr. Burrus took the time to listen to me describe my shoulder pain. After making a diagnosis and discussing my options, we decided to give physical therapy a try. It has made a night and day difference in the way my shoulder feels. I really appreciate his willingness to try alternatives to surgery. He has been following up with me throughout the process, which is a refreshing change of pace from what I've experienced with other doctors in the past.

    I could not be more please with Dr. Burrus's care. In this day and age when you feel like you are a burden to some medical providers, Dr. Burrus is the total opposite. He even followed up with me via email to check in and see how I was doing. To me, that is stellar care!

    Satisfied, but could have been better

    I was advised to meet with Dr. Burrus for a bone infection. The diagnosis seemed rushed and over-interpretive, based on partially incorrect assumptions. However, the treatment was very effective and the recovery relatively painless. I must note that I couldn't start the antibiotic therapy because the pharmacy didn't receive the prescription from Dr. Burrus, and it took a lot of effort and several calls to Austin Bone and Joint clinic to be put in contact with him. He rapidly solved the issue.
