ABOUT

Dr. Burger completed his medical as well as orthopaedic surgery studies at the University of Stellenbosch. He gained valuable experience in lower limb deformity correction and reconstructive surgery working as a consultant at the Lady Michaelis Paediatric Orthopaedic unit at Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town. Following this he furthered his training in foot and ankle surgery by completing a fellowship under the guidance of Dr. Mark Myerson at the Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at the Mercy Medical Centre in Baltimore, USA.

At this practice Dr. Burger focuses on reconstructive foot surgery, sport-related injuries, trauma of the foot and ankle, diabetic foot problems, arthroscopic surgery, joint replacement and joint preserving procedures.

He firmly believes that post-operative care and management is crucial to the outcome of any surgery and work with you as patient to ensure that you get back to the things you like to do as soon and realistic as possible.

When he is not working he likes to spend time outdoors with his family, canoeing or researching the technical details around anything from photography, traditional woodworking and classical music.

TESTIMONIALS

AMAZING SERVICE. Great doctor and amazing staff members. I had a problem regarding my medical aid and Leonie at Stellenbosch office stayed after hours to assist me in every way she could. I really had a great experience with Dr. Burger and his staff. Thank you!

This doctor certainly does know best! I recently aggravated an ankle arthrodesis, and my GP recommended that I see Dr. Dawid Burger at Panorama Medical Centre. I had been in pain for 5 months. I am so relieved that he diagnosed and alleviated my condition with such kindness and expertise. What an incredible relief to be able to implicitly trust and respect a doctor to whom you have just been referred. He truly is awesome. My friends warned about the pain of a cortisone injection into the tendons, but Dr. Burger did it with such skills that it hardly hurt at all. In less than 24 hours there is no swelling or heat in my ankle, and I’m able to walk without the shocking pain. It’s already 80% better, and due to improve in the next 10 days or so. How impressive is that! The other star of the show is Marcia Rudd, his receptionist. She’s incredibly efficient, patient, and very kind. She shows empathy for the patients, and helps in any way that she can. This has been such a positive experience for me.
