Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Talks down to patients, seems she's after $$$ on 'procedures' that dont work .

I agree with every positive review and every negative review. She did explain every step of whay she does and how it will feel. While going through the process and expressing my pain she would asked me if she should stop. I replied no, even though that process was painful I knew the outcome was a solution. She is professional, compassionate,but will let you make up your mind if you want to get better or give up.

I was referred to her for pain relief while I waited for bone surgery that had been approved based on MRI images. After a cursory, but painful exam, she declared that I was malingering and all I needed was OTC pain medications.

Dr Burgeind is very caring and patient and takes time to explain all the procedures and when she's actually doing them she tells you exactly what she's doing when she's doing it. Like and trust her very much

I moved to KC in May & needed to find a new Pain Doctor. I chose Dr Rebecca & the Pain Clinic and I am very glad I did. Her staff is friendly, thorough & knowledgeable. We have a game plan for my chronic back pain, shoulder and I am optimistic for the future.

I had already posted a couple minutes ago, but I ran out of room to mention this as well. I failed to mention when Dr. Burfiend gets ready to do the procedure on me, she explains EVERY detail she goes through, so I will know exactly what I might feel with everything she is doing. She is very thorough!

I have been treated by Dr. Burfeind for neck and lower back pain and I have nothing but positive experiences with each visit. She is very professional, caring and very good at what she does. I certainly don't want to leave out the staff at North Kansas City pain management. They are all first class. I would recommend Dr. Burfeind and the staff at pain management Thanks for helping me and keep up the good work.

This wonderful, compassionate doctor has kept me functional by relieving my chronic lower back pain. She always take lots of time with me, never making me feel rushed. She respects my intelligence and engages me in my health care. The staff is very caring and when I call, they always make every effort to get me in quickly, because they know that people who call them are in pain.

Jane Brawley – Feb 17, 2020

I took my family member/patient to an appointment with this doctor for a second opinion. It was a follow up appointment because another doctor in the same practice didn’t work out. We checked in at the front desk, and then saw the nurse, which was a positive experience. The second Burfeind walks in, she already had a bitter look on her face. She immediately began using a stern, condescending tone of voice, and proceeded to defend the other doctor! She had a complete lack of understanding and compassion for the patients needs, no ability to listen, and little to no interaction w/ the patient to properly assess the patient’s medical needs! She instead spent nearly all the appointment time defending his every action(s), or lack there of. Rebecca Burfeind was not there to treat the patient that day. She was there to charge an office visit, then show her loyalty to her business partner! It got so bad, my family member/patient & I were in tears by the time we left!

My wife and I have seen Dr. Burfeind for multiple years for lumbar back pains. She always takes time to listen to our concerns, has always addressed them and explains treatment options to help resolve those concerns. She is very busy setting patients prior to and after procedures(of any are done).

Love Dr. Burfeind! I was referred to her through my primary MD, whom I trust implicitly, and who was also her patient in the past. She is thorough in explaination of the proceedure, empathetic to your pain, responsive to questioning. I was so dicouraged, frustrated and dissapointeded by a previous experience (with a particular Dr.) at the KC pain clinic in Overland Park, that I didn't want to return. So glad she turned that around for me and gave me a better view of this organization that is built to help people in pain. I would refer her to anyone and everyone!

I’ve been seeing Dr Burfeind for about 13 years. She does seem rushed sometimes, & I know her clinic has a lot of patients & believe that’s the reason why. Recently, though, I had a particularly serious issue and she was there for me. She’s exceptionally great about explaining details & procedures, which I really appreciate. She’s not always the most empathetic, but I’ve found personally, at least in my case, she was there for me when I was at a particulars low point. I even got a hug from her. ??

I found Dr. Burfeind to have no empathy what-so-ever for me, during a recent extremely painful back medical procedure that she performed on me. She acted very rude, uncaring, unprofessional & talked down to me. I really liked NKC hospital, but I had to find another doctor & hospital. I was so disappointed in this doctor.

I've been see Dr Burfeind going on ten years now. I can't begin to say how much she has helped me! She has always been attentive to my needs and wants. Never rushed me to make a decision on any of my procedures. Some of my dearest friends are see her now for thier ailments. I wouldn't recommend her if I didn't trust her.

Dr Burnfeind performed the Coolief Radio Frequency Ablation for knee pain and was excellent from my first visit to having actual procedure done. She was very kind and thorough explaining every step along the way. The entire team at Kansas City North Hospital Pain Management Center was wonderful providing excellent care. Would highly recommend!!!
