Dr. Michael D. Burdi is an orthopedic doctor who specializes in back surgery. He and his physician assistant, Tyler Waldron, have helped many patients with their back problems, including those caused by degenerative disk disease, lumbar stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. One patient, who enjoys off-road motorcycling and mountain biking, has had three back surgeries performed by Dr. Burdi due to injuries and degenerative conditions. After their most recent surgery in October 2023, this patient is now 12 weeks post-surgery and feels great, with very little pain and significant improvement in their physical therapy.
Another patient had spondylolisthesis and underwent spinal fusion on September 1, 2023. Their recovery has been great, with the sciatica and cramping that drove them to seek treatment now gone. They are able to do more than they could before and continue to improve, although they note that Dr. Burdi can be aggressive about weight loss.
A third patient experienced lower back pain for about a year, which worsened significantly on April 21st, 2023, causing pain in their entire right leg. After visiting urgent care and the emergency room, they found Dr. Burdi through their insurance network. After trying various treatments and consulting with both Dr. Burdi and Tyler Waldron, the patient decided to undergo lumbar diskectomy surgery. The patient experienced immediate relief from the leg pain after the surgery and highly recommends Dr. Burdi and Tyler to anyone still suffering from sciatica. Both Dr. Burdi and his staff, including Tyler Waldron and Pat, the doctor's coordinator, are described as highly professional, caring, and friendly.
Recently added reviews highlight that DR BURDI is the best. Patients mention that at 73 years old, they had surgery on L4 and L5, and just 48 hours later, they were hiking at Whitting Ranch Park. Now they hike every other day, covering over 9 miles, with no pain, and plan to start mountain biking and swimming soon. Many patients express happiness with their back surgery, noting that after years of sciatica pain, the pain was gone immediately after surgery and has remained absent for over a year. Recovery was quick, with some returning to light duty work within a week. One patient even had neck surgery that restored feeling in their hands, allowing them to return to work quickly. These patients emphasize that Dr. Burdi has greatly improved their quality of life.
Others share that they spent many years with constant lower back pain before seeing Dr. Burdi. After diagnosis and exploring options like physical therapy, MRI, and injections, surgery was recommended. The patient felt confident in Dr. Burdi’s care and had the procedure at a state-of-the-art hospital. Though there was some pain afterward, it went away, and they regained their life. Dr. Burdi and Tyler Waldron are praised for their professionalism and support during the healing process, making them the dynamic spine duo. Patients are encouraged to make an appointment with Dr. Burdi to end suffering and regain their health.
