Brief Intro

Dr. Burkhardt’s father was a physician, and from an early age, Dr. Burkhardt knew he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. The visual nature and mechanics of how things fit together and work as a whole intrigued him and reminded him of how the bones, joints and muscles of the body work together to keep you moving.Dr. Burkhardt completed his fellowship in adult joint reconstruction and sports medicine at The Florida Knee & Orthopedic Centers at the University of South Florida. In 2016, Dr. Burkhardt performed the region’s first robotics-assisted total knee joint replacement using the Navio Surgical System. Dr. Burkhardt is very excited about the future of this technology and what it means for his patients.Dr. Burkhardt and his wife have four children. He enjoys a variety of hobbies, including boating, hockey, woodworking, scuba diving, truck restoration and large-species sport fishing. He also has a special interest in youth development hockey in Battle Creek, Michigan, and the surrounding areas.When I go to work every day, I don’t think of it as a job. It’s a way for me to make a difference in someone’s life—someone who’s hurting, in pain, can’t walk or has lost hope. I get to know that person’s personality and social side and then partner with him or her to put together a game plan that works toward a reliable outcome that gets results. It’s so gratifying to be involved in someone’s life like that.Bobbe Orr - Patient TestimonialThanks to Dr. Burkhardt, Bobbe Orr is back to living an active lifestyle -even after a double knee replacement. ""I was walking within two weeks,"" explained Bobbe. ""It kept getting better and better and better.""Nancy Merrill - Patient TestimonialDr. Burkhardt gave me back my life.Stephanie Sampson - Patient TestimonialI have lots of time to do other things because I am no longer consuming my day with trying to control the pain. I have Dr. Burkhardt and the great team at Bronson Battle Creek to thank for that.John Grap - Patient TestimonialWhile I’m not 100 percent, I can say it’s been worth it. Thank you to Dr. Burkhardt and his staff.
