I had a spinal fusion that took 7and half hours which Dr. Bursick would take about that time. I was treated well because I worked with him and his partners for years so I felt comfortable with him. Now I walk bent over and I have to use a cane all the time, my retirement has been ruined, I hope his is better. I suggest you do a lot of research to see how other people are doing after a really major surgery which I must say I didn’t do. Good luck if you decide to have the surgery.

He just runs up and down the hall like a drill sergeant scaring the fellows. No personal interest or caring demeanor from my experience. Very disappointed.

After an excellent initial tele-medicine video visit while my 88 year old mom was dealing with excruciating pain following 2 compression fractures, we could not reach Dr Bernstein again for her followup on the prescribed intervention . Our PCP also attempted followup with Dr Bernstein and she too has not receive any return message, 8 days after placing the request.
