I have see all three orthopedic doctors at the Grove and Jerrica is the one I see the most and the latest she's absolutely wonderful. I was worried for my future with my legs letting me walk but she put me at ease letting me know she will do everything in her power to fix me or send me to whatever specialist I need to see to make sure I have a good chance walking in my future, and they all truly fantastic doctors.

Dr Jeremy Burnham has a great way of interacting with his patients. He did a great job of explaining both the progress of my injury and the way ahead as it applied to recovery. He provided a thorough explanation without wasting time. I left my visit feeling very comfortable with where I was and what needed to happen next.

I never met a doctor and his team that showed some much compassion about their patient. Jerrica, Dr. Burnham, and the therapy staff (Luke and Joey )were awesome. My daughter journey was very trying and hard but we made it through with all of their help. We are so grateful and thankful. My daughter recovered fully from a total knee reconstruction and now she able to return to sports. Thanks to Dr. Burnham and his staff. The best surgeon is Baton Rouge that actually care about his patients!!! I rate him 5stars.

Dr. Burnham and Jerrica are AMAZING! Their sense of compassion and understanding is more than we have ever experienced. My 14 year old son originally went in to see Dr. Burnham very scared (he hadn't had an injury before) and he was instantly made to feel at ease. His surgery and recovery has been perfect! Thank you Dr. Burnham and Jerrica for everything! We are so grateful for you both!

Lois H.

Dr. Jeremy Burnham did a reconstruction of my ACL on April 19th. Dr. Burnham and his staff were/are amazing. They walked me through the process from beginning to end. I would highly recommend him. 😊

Belinda B.

I had shoulder cuff repair, involving 2 ligaments & bone spurs, only 6 weeks ago. The pain during my recovery has actually only been minimal, requiring no pain meds. Dr. Burnham took time to explain the surgery & what to expect during recovery, answering all my questions (& there were many). My wait time for office visits has always been less than 10 minutes. I recommend him, as well as his staff, to anyone requiring such services.
*Thank you Dr.Burnham!

I went to Dr. Burnham for issues I was having with my shoulders. He was outstanding. He diagnosed the problem quickly and accurately. He and his staff could not have been more helpful and professional. I am a coach, and I have two boys playing sports, the best thing I can say is that my sons will go see Dr. Burnham in the event they are injured, and I will always recommend him to my athletes.

I was referred to Dr. Burnham from my spine doc, Chambliss Harrod, MD and he turned out to be a way cool guy. He will now be caring for my hip and knee in the future. Easy to talk to and will answer any questions of your care. Takes his time with you and doesn't hurry to rush out of the room if you have questions.
