About Jessica D. Burns, MD
Jessica Burns, MD, specializes in pediatric orthopedics, caring for patients with conditions such as trauma, hip dysplasia, scoliosis, limb deformity and skeletal dysplasia. Getting to know and understand her patients and their families guides Dr. Burns in providing the best care possible.
"I take time to listen so we can share treatment decisions," she says. Dr. Burns is passionate about the possibilities orthopedics offers to improve a child's ability to move and function. Whether treatment involves observation, casting, bracing or even surgery, she and the families decide together the best care for the child's needs.
"I love getting to know families and watching children improve and enjoy their world," says Dr. Burns.
Breaking her arm in second grade spurred her interest in medicine. Science classes fed her curiosity, and then as a college student she observed a surgery that locked in her decision to become a doctor. Impacting a child's ability to function drew her to pediatric orthopedics. She values the supportive Phoenix Children's culture and enjoys working with people who genuinely care about children and doing what's best for them.
In her free time, Dr. Burns loves spending time with her husband, two children and their dog. She's a snowboarder and enjoys other exercise too.

We had a wonderful experience and my child was at ease. All the staff were polite, kind and respectful
We have had a great experience with Phoenix Children's and all of your staff every time. This place is the best!
Dr. Burns was exceptional. Our daughter's fracture was evaluated in the ER at another hospital system and the referral they gave us was for 'the doctor that happened to be on call that evening'. I did my research and found Dr. Burns at PCH instead as a better fit. The appt was easily booked online and timely. Dr. Burns was incredibly kind and thorough- she made sure our daughter was comfortable the entire process. She answered all of our questions and we never felt rushed. She even accompanied our daughter to the X-ray and gave us results right away so we knew the plan before we left. I feel we received the best care from PCH and having Dr. Burns was a gift. As a nurse myself'_ she went above and beyond what I had expected from any surgeon. We have a clear understanding of our daughter's injury, plan of care, and follow up. We have never used PCH for ER needs in the past because another hospital system is closer- hopefully we will never need an ER again, but if so it is clear this is the place to go for children and Dr.Burns is a gift to any pediatric patient with ortho needs. Our daughter went from feeling overwhelmed to leaving that appointment empowered and knowledgeable in her own journey. Thank you!
Dr. Burns was by far one of the best surgeons we've ever been in contact with. You could tell she knew exactly what to do to help my son and she was extremely empathetic towards the situation. We truly, truly appreciate her.

We absolutely love Dr Burns. She is very thorough and takes time with her patients and parents to make sure they are comfortable with what is going on. We are so glad she is part of our care team.
Could not have had a better experience and forever grateful to Dr Burns and PCH.
The best peds offering in the region. I appreciate the attention to detail, staff engaging with my child and empowering them to answer for themselves, and the professionalism in the workflow: waiting room, MA intake, X-Ray Exam, Rooming, Doctor visit, dismissal.
Dr. Burns is fantastic. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing her care.
My 7 month old got some X-rays taken and everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable!
We are so grateful for Dr. Jessica Burns and her team! They took the time to thoroughly evaluate our 19-month-old son and made thoughtful, well-explained recommendations. We truly felt included in his care plan, and they patiently answered all of our questions. As first-time parents, it means so much to us to have a doctor and team who are not only knowledgeable but also kind and attentive. We can't thank them enough for the care and attention they've given our son!
The doctor was great and the appointment, great at explaining everything and letting us know what we needed to do for further, but the appointment was excellent and it was very good. Thank you.

Jessica Burns is a wonderful and very polite provider/ doctor. She gives you her best knowledge on a situation in the case of the matter pertains too. I'm so grateful she is my son's doctor's. She gives me understanding if I don't understand the situation. Keep up the great job Jessica Burns you rock!
Not only did Jessica include my child in the conversation and let them know what they would do before touching my child, her students did as well. They all took great care to make him feel safe and in control Anne even make the appointment playful and fun. Very much appreciated given how stressful it can be for children with long medical histories.
Dr. Burns and the team are amazing. Spends time explaining recovery and importance of healing.
Dr. Burns is extremely professional and truly cares for her patients. For the past 12 months, she has provided care for my son and we absolutely love her.
We had a wonderful experience with Dr Jessica Burns! She was very professional and thoughtful.
Dr Burns is amazing and I love how she remembers the little things about my child that don't have to do with her care, just her interests.
Dr. Burns has been amazing and so encouraging during what was a very traumatic experience for my daughter. Dr. Burns always made sure my daughter was comfortable, encouraged, and educated on her treatment and prognosis. I can't fathom how much more stressful the whole situation would have been without the care of such an incredible doctor.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Burns. She was remarkably skillful and an even better human being. Even though our issue is now resolved we will miss being under her care.
