Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The BEST!

Dr. Burnsed and his team replaced 2 discs in my neck, made the process easy and treated me like family. I'm going back for 2 more in my lower back. After 17 years I'll be able to work and play again.

Thanking God for bringing us to Dr. Burnsed
Our daughter recently suffered a postpartum stroke. Through a series of events, she ended up at WakeMed main campus under the care of Dr. Burnsed. He is absolutely amazing. He is kind and compassionate, thorough in explanations, transparent in his delivery of care, and God sent. He performed a procedure on her to give her a chance at life and, even though he had never performed it before and there were, in his words, no guidelines to the procedure. I felt confident in Dr. Burnsed and trusted him. By the grace of God, he was successful with the procedure. With God's blessing and guidance, Dr. Burnsed literally saved our daughter's life. There are not enough words to express our gratitude.

such a kind and personable surgeon
This surgeon is such a nice person. I have had few surgeons that instilled so much trust. He will explain what is wrong and what his plans are in as little or as much detail as his patient needs. He does not rush your visit and he seems attentive to not only your physical body but how you feel emotionally too. He will try to help you work through your anxiety with confidence. I was very happy in his care and with his assistant, PA Ms. Mouw. I believe he told me he did not do minimally invasive surgery so you end up with a larger scar, but Miss Mauw does a very nice suture. :) They also made sure that my pain was under control which was very important to me. Dr Burnsed is very dedicated to his patient's care. He performed my spine surgery at WakeMed. His satellite office was in Goldsboro, NC

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Burnsed?
I absolutely recommend Dr. Burnsed as a surgeon who works extremely complicated cases such as mine. In hindsight, I did not exactly request him as my neurosurgeon. Why? Because I was transferred to WakeMed ER from Cary WakeMed ER, via ambulance with multiple fractures to the L1 spinal vertebrae and surrounding myelin (the tough covering that protects the spinal cord from injury). The injury was so severe that other hospitals in the area simply did not have the knowledge and experience to repair me. I could have lost the ability to walk, urinary continence, and other bodily functions I took for granted. I was terrified by the thought that I may not walk hand in hand with my little boy, again. Dr. Burnsed was assigned to my case because of his expertise and previous successes with traumatic neurological injury patients like me. He and his team literally put me back together again. There are no words to adequately convey the thankfulness of my family and I.

Dr. Burnsed was my father’s surgeon and we could not have asked for a better person. Dr.Burnsed was extremely through in explaining everything (more than once) to my father and I. He was very compassionate and comforting to my father and I during such a scary time. It is obvious that Dr. Burnsed values his work, his patients and has high morals. He took his time talking to us in his office, after surgery or on the phone...we never felt rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Burnsed to anyone seeking treatment. I am forever grateful.
