The absolute WORST EXPERIENCE I've ever endured from any professional. I don't know if I'm more embarrassed for the doctor due to his conduct and negligence or mad at myself for putting up with his immature behavior for so long. I'm a 28 yr old former college athlete, consistently work out daily. I'd been seeing Burkhart since 2021 due to an injury sustained that he was never able to provide a treatment plan for and I never recovered even 50%.
Recently, I injured myself and visited him on crutches 08/17/2022 he didn't want to order an MRI, said "I didn't need it and it was just arthritis", even though my knee had dislocated and the urgent care doctor who gave me crutches so I could walk recommended an MRI. We went back and forth for about 5 minutes and he eventually ordered the MRI, thank God.
MRI took place on 08/19/2022
***I reviewed the medical notes he wrote and they were ALL incorrect and lies!***
I had my girlfriend attend the last visit with me on 08/23/2022 so we could request a wheelchair, witness his behavior, and he didn't disappoint. For the 1:50pm appointment he didn't see me until 2:40pm, I had to ask somebody in the clinic to fetch him. The MRI he said I didn't need showed damage to the meniscus, it's fringed. I've since been told by another doctor that it's torn.
HE ACTUALLY REFUSED TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS OR HERS ABOUT MY CARE AND INJURIES. I can't make this up, I asked him a specific question and his response was "Me answering that question will not give you the answer that you need." as if he's the Oracle from the Matrix. Ultimately, 8 minutes into the appointment he got up and walked out of the room and said "I'm not doing this." after I repeatedly asked him how a fringed meniscus could inhibit my recovery.
When communicating my complaints to the branch manager he walked in to INTERRUPT, didn't say excuse me or anything and gave some spiel about how he's an expert doctor even though I'm on crutches with no ETA on when I'll even be able to walk again.
He gave me a wheelchair prescription and then cancelled it a week later. Additionally the medical supply company who handles the wheelchair order stated that the notes he provided weren't adequate enough to get a wheelchair through insurance.
HE WROTE IN THE NOTES THAT DURING THE EXAMINATION THERE WERE NO CHANGES EVEN THOUGH PRIOR TO 08/09 I COULD WALK AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN GET DRESSED WITHOUT SITTING DOWN.
HIS INSOLENCE AND INCOMPETENCE HAS HINDERED AND PROLONGED MY ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY RECOVER.
There's so much more but this is just the tip of the iceberg. read more
