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.

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.

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.
