Patient Reviews
Aug 18, 2023
Dr. Burnikel was very professional and knowledgeable. He prepared me for the surgery and let me know what I would experience. My knee is a nightmare and he did what I thought was impossible. I feel much more confident in my ability to be able to accomplish some of my goals in the near future because I've had this surgery. Though I know it will be a long, difficult road I feel like this was the best possible outcome. I recommend this clinic and Dr. Burnikel for it's timeliness and the amount of care and support they have their patients. I couldn't have asked for a better Dr. And staff.
