I found Dr Michael Burdon to be helpful and approachable, when I consulted him for arthritis. He gave advice on my options in a clear and understandable manner. I opted for a steroid injection to reduce inflammation and pain, although aware that this is not a permanent solution. The injection in my knee was almost painless with local anaesthetic, and has worked very well. It has eliminated my pain from the day after it was given. He recommended an excellent local physiotherapist, with whom I am working to improve the management of my arthritis for the future. I am very pleased with the outcome of this consultation and would recommend him as a joint physician.
Thanks so much for leaving a review. I am delighted to hear that you are doing so much better now. Wishing you all the best for your ongoing recovery, Mike.

Dr Burdon has been a brilliant help for both my sons who are keen sportsmen. He has been able to see them promptly; has helped organise quick scans; subsequent diagnoses and further referrals to excellent consultants where needed. His contacts are obviously extensive and each person he has referred us to thinks highly of him. He is very good at answering all and every question in a way that non-medical people can understand.
Thanks so much for you very kind review. Wishing both boys a speedy recovery and return to activity in due course... Best wishes, Mike.
