Dr Burns is the “Gold Standard” for shoulder surgery. A true professional in every regard. All PT’s that deal with her work without hesitation will tell you she is the best. My surgery has gone perfectly with zero pain from the minute I woke up from surgery until now. It all starts with a great Doctor and being a very special person to interact with. SSM is very fortunate to have Dr Burns on their staff.

If you need Ortho services, just have a conversation with her, she's pretty darn good, my primary asked me if I needed a referral for a Ortho Dr. I said oh no, I'm seeing Dr K Burns, and she says " you're in excellent hands" So yes, I feel safe. Thanks you
