from William in AZ March 12, 2020 for Steven C. Burns, MD

After being diagnosed and referred to an orthopedic surgeon by Dr Burns for a hip replacement my surgery was scheduled for a Thursday operation.

For 25 years, Doc Steve has been my physician. I am quite pleased that he decided to practice in AZ. Doc Steve is one of those doctors who went into medicine because he wants to make a difference in the lives of others. He truly cares about his patients, and I appreciate all that he and his staff have done for me.

from Geoffrey in AZ March 10, 2018 for Steven C. Burns, MD

I just wanted to let Steve know how much I appreciate his advice over the years. I can actually have a conversation with him which, in my experience, is rare. I think he listens to my concerns and, for my part, I do my best to follow his advice. I'd also like to point out that the MDVIP experience, although costly, has been valuable. I think Dr. Burns is an excellent physician, and I… See more

I love Dr. Burns. He is so kind and so thorough in giving health care. He takes time to answer my questions and respects my opinions. He is unlike any other doctor I have had in the past. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor.
