Meet Dr. Burke – General Orthopedic Specialist

Dr. Burke specializes in joint replacement, arthroscopy, and cartilage restoration. His greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that his patients have referred friends or family to him. He treats a wide variety of ages, from young mid-teen patients with ACL tears to elderly patients that need joint replacements.
Dr. Burke explains two processes for cartilage restoration:
Biological treatment like STEM cell therapy
Autonomous cartilage implantation, in which a patient’s cartilage is regrown in a cell matrix and then re-implated into his or her knee after 4-6 weeks from the initial procedure

						I really can’t say enough about Fondren Orthopedic. They are kind, to the point and don’t believe that surgery is the only way to go. I have had the pleaser to be a patient of Dr. Taba and Dr. Burke. I was in severe pain for years with my neck and knees. This is the first kind of relief that I have had. The orthopedic hospital that they use for surgical procedures in Houston is the best of the best. I have had over 20 surgeries and have never had such a nice experience before. The staff went so far as to put a warm towel over my eyes before they turned on the light in my room after surgery. I honestly don’t know where you will find better caring service. I’m so greatful.

						This business is so organized, and they thoroughly take care of you. The waiting time is short and all staff is kind, effective and empathetic. They listen to you, and want to help. I completely trust the surgeon, his knowledge and experience is evident. Dr. Burke has operated on my left shoulder (arthritis and impingement) and I have full mobility in that joint, and best of all no more pain! They have you fill in most of the questionnaires online, you can do those on your phone. I highly recommend this group if you have any mobility problems!

						I was a first time patient for Dr. Burke, and he is by far the most AMAZING, gentle, professional, and courteous doctor I’ve ever had! I’ve been having knee pain due to torn meniscus, so I pray he can fix without surgery. He explained everything in layman’s term and what the next steps are. I’m already feeling a lot better due to medication he prescribed. The staff was also welcoming and exhibited excellent customer service. Will be referring others to this practice. Thanks for making me feel better! ?? Lucille

Dr. Burke’s PA called me back right on time and Dr. Burke was in the room within just a few mins, went over all of my options with me. I was in and out in about 30 mins. Everything ran so smoothly and everyone was very nice!

He explains things in way you will understand and gets to the point! Overall experience 10/10!

						I was having difficulty time with my left knee. Swelling and constant pain. I saw Dr. Burke and was prescribed a combination of medication that quite frankly I didn’t believe would work. I took the medication as directed by Dr. Burke. As of this minute, my knee feels great. Lesson learned. Surgery is not always the answer. Thank you Dr. Burke.

						Very attentive to each individuals needs. Dr. Burke is very professional, has great bedside manners, and explains your diagnosis on your level. He did not go right to surgery, but instead, gave me the option of less invasive options and then monitor to see if we need to take a more aggressive approach. I appreciate that.
