    Dr. Burns -Johnson was very caring, took time to discuss my situation and try to evaluate. Just waiting for her to follow up with the radiologist who read my MRI so she can further evaluate my issues. Hoping to hear either way as she is an excellent, professional and pleasant doctor

    No way would I EVER recommend this doctor! Its no wonder she has so many bad reviews. All she talked about was not wanting to get fired.
