Sean T Burke

I found Dr. Burke to be very thorough, patient, kind, and comforting. (Although I did wonder at one point if I was on an episode of Impractical Jokers - he looks exactly like Murr!) My only complaint would be that I had to wait two months for an appointment, and I can't get on the schedule for further testing for another month.

My first visit with Dr. Sean Burke was weird. The first 20 minutes, he sat in front of his laptop. BEFORE HE SAID HELLO, AND INTRODUCED HIMSELF. Then he asked some basic questions, and tried to sway me to changed my medication that I have been on for 15 years. I said NO WAY! I am doing really well on this medication. He then said I'll see you in 3 months. The 2nd visit was the same. Weird. On the 3rd visit, I brought my partner to discuss getting help for disability. Dr. Burke answer was, I'm not going to help you. My partner gave him a piece of his mind, and then left the room. Dr. Burke then proceeded to stare at his laptop for another 15 minutes and made a lot of notes. He display same anger towards me for even asking for his help with my disability case. I will NEVER go back to him. My partner says that he is creepy, and so unprofessional.

Dr gave a long thorough examination & concluded the exact opposite of what other tests had shown. We told him that multiple prior tests had ruled out his diagnosis but he said “I want to see for myself”, sent us for bloodwork and then filled out the paperwork for the tests wrong. It listed one test he wanted to see the results of but had the wrong code. The test facility caught the error and I had to go back to Drs office while my aged father waited at the test facility. When I got back to his office they told me to come back the next day so Dr Burke could correct the code and sign it. . I dug in my heels and said I was not leaving without the paperwork fixed and the test ordered correctly. They finally took the paper back to him and brought it back out. When I got back to the testing facility, they said that all the dr had done with the paperwork was sign off saying dad didn’t need that particular test anyway!. Said he would follow up test results by email but never did. Done w/ him!

I was greatly looking forward to my appointment with Dr. Sean Burke. I have been suffering with some unexplainable and debilitating symptoms for several months . When meeting with him I was hopeful he could provide some much needed recommendations and " a plan" to help with my symptoms. Unfortunately, I experienced the complete opposite. The neurological examination he performed was extremely rushed with minimal concern for my symptoms. His bed side manor was cold and quick. He appeared to be partial attentive to what I was explaining to him with an extreme lack of compassion. He refused to order any further testing (and I have had none performed thus far). He insisted there was no way I could have any type of nerve damage (even though I have previously been diagnosed with nerve damage in the past). I have worked in the healthcare industry for 15+ years and have never been treated so poorly by any physician. I will not ever recommend this Neurologist to anyone.

Lucky i found him i was in pain for 2 months without answers from multiply doctors. He took the time and did research that no one else offered or did. My situation is complicated and he never backed down. Thanks so much for giving me my life back is what i say to him.

Seen him twice. He actually listens to me, recalls what I said, and manages my condition accordingly. Like someone who actually cares, personally. I am staying with him for my MG.

Dr Burke spent a lot of time with me and listened to what I had to say. He was very compassionate. I will continue as his patient for MS

Worst doctor I’ve ever seen in my life. Showing no caring or respect at all. Would have no faith in him since he showed he does not truly care for his patients.

I am currently an unhappy patient of Dr. Burke's and looking for a new provider. When I call Carilion Riverside 3 building there is always a problem with the phones. This particular time I called regarding a new prescription for my MS medication and had the worse time speaking with someone. When I did the call dropped. I had to call back and leave multiple messages which is not great customer service. 7 days later( without medication) I finally spoke with someone and got the issue addressed.

Highly recommend Dr. Burke. My husband had a memory lapse problem and was in the hospital. We still aren't 100% sure what the cause is but Dr. Burke spent a long time examining him and collecting data, more test will be done in the future. I feel confident Dr. Burke will resolve this. He was very patient with us and explained his condition.

Agreed: Poor interaction, and "god complex" seem quite accurate descriptions. Had briefcase in hand while patient was still asking questions. Listened to react, not to hear - whether it was a question (misinterpreted because of not listening) or information being provided (because, goodness, what could a patient offer in the way of observation of his/her own malaise and goals?). An absolute closed mind not befitting a physician so young nor an instructor mentoring residents. New provider sought.

Dr. Burke did not want to listen to anything I had to say. Everything was his way or the highway. Absolutely no bed-side manner and he has a God complex.
