What is Burke Primary Care?
Burke Primary Care is a family medicine practice at 103 Medical Heights Dr., Morganton, NC 28655, next to UNC Health Blue Ridge Hospital off East Parker Road. It has one office. Its main work is primary care for the whole family, from newborns to seniors, and it also lists sports medicine, occupational health and clinical research as divisions. Its prescribers include S. Keith Smith, MD, Tim M Robinson, MD, Laurie C. Robinson, MD and Martin T. Gessner, MD, along with physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Dr. Smith has practiced in Morganton since 1989.
Its services are diabetes care, nutrition care, an on-site lab and X-ray, 3D mammography, and pediatric, adolescent, women's, men's and senior care. Its service list also includes joint injections and IV fluids and infusions. In its own words: "Burke Primary is a full service medical practice offering diabetes care, pediatric care, adolescent, women's and men's health services with an on-site DEXA, X-ray and Lab."
Dr. Smith's own profile mentions Testopel insertions and Synvisc injections among office procedures. That is the only hormone-related mention. It does not list a hormone therapy program, a weight loss program, peptide therapy or longevity medicine. The only weight loss item is a July 2012 news post about a clinical trial open to men over 45 and women over 50 who are overweight and have a history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
It has a Google rating of 4 from 149 reviews. Hours are 8am to 7pm Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5pm on Friday and 8am to noon on Saturday.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether it accepts insurance. Ask whether it bills insurance, and ask what a visit costs before you book. Ask whether lab work and follow-up visits are charged separately.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether it offers hormone therapy or weight loss medication at all, and if so, which prescriber handles it. Its profile names Testopel insertions as an office procedure, but no program is described. If you are interested in Testopel specifically, ask how the procedure is priced and who decides whether you are a candidate.
Ask whether virtual care is available. The service list includes it, but no details are given. Ask whether any membership or package exists, and if so, how cancellation works. Ask what the Google reviews are not telling you: which services patients rated, and whether those were family visits or specialty ones.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you need a family doctor, sports physical, occupational health visit or diabetes care from a local practice in Morganton. It is less clear if you came for a cash-pay weight loss, hormone or peptide program, because none is published. If that is what you want, call first and ask the questions above before booking.
