From the reviews
Dr Burns saw me for review and treatment for Breast Cancer. He monitored me annually until the next cancer appeared. He treated me for that incident also. He established a Team of Medical Support which was instrumental to my outcome.
Dr. Burns and his nurse, Megan R, were incredibly helpful and made me feel comfortable throughout my visits. I truly appreciated their attentiveness and willingness to accommodate my needs. I highly recommend Dr. Burns and his team—five stars! They responded quickly, and there were no long wait times.
Dr. Burns was the surgeon who performed my lumpectomy, back in 2018. In my opinion, he is the best in his field of expertise. He is 100% professional, but also very personable, caring, and truly listens to what the patient has to say. I have the utmost respect for Dr.
Doctor Burns is the most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever seen. He is very professional and thorough and an excellent surgeon. His office is staffed with people that also take very good care of his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Burns, he is a blessing!
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
