We are based in Maryland; however, we currently do not have a physical office location.

Dr. Burket currently exclusively offers his services online. We specialize in providing online physical therapy services tailored for busy individuals who struggle to attend in-office appointments, those who prefer the online setting, and patients seeking the convenience of virtual services.

The short answer is no. Dr. Burket does not participate in, nor does he accept health insurance. He operates under his company name, Value Physical Therapy, as a cash-based practice. He has chosen this approach to ensure he can provide you with the care you need without any restrictions or standards imposed by the corporate world. Additionally, this allows you to avoid any surprise fees for services that may or may not have been covered. Dr. Burket is committed to honesty and transparency regarding the cost of his services before you commit.

Our physical therapy service operates on a pay per-session charge, but we do offer a 6 visit package. The cost of our physical therapy service is as follows: Initial evaluation (the first week) = $125 Follow-up week (every week after the week of the initial evaluation) = $100 6 follow-up visit package = $550, billed the full amount on the day of your first of the six visits. This package provides a $50 off discount on the total cost of 6 visit pay per visit sessions.

Treatment of any kind is never 100% guaranteed. However, research has shown that many individuals achieve similar, if not better, results when participating in virtual physical therapy compared to in-person physical therapy. The reason behind this is that virtual physical therapy promotes patient independence from the outset and provides patients with direct communication with their physical therapist outside of their appointment times. This enables the patients to remain engaged in their treatment and have their questions or concerns addressed more promptly throughout the duration of their treatment.

What to expect during your first visit: I. A comprehensive review of your medical history and the reason for your session with a physical therapist. II. Discussion of how your injury is affecting your daily activities and your goals for physical therapy. III. An overall assessment to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms, which may involve performing specific movements or functions. IV. Education from the physical therapist regarding their diagnosis, the proposed treatment plan, and the initial steps to be taken as part of that plan. What to Expect During Follow-Up Visits: Follow-up visits primarily focus on tracking your progress and updating your program. Although some assessments may be conducted to measure improvement, the emphasis is on updating your treatment plan.

I. Electronic Device: Ensure you have an electronic device with internet connectivity, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone equipped with a video camera or webcam. II. Microphone: Most devices come with an internal microphone; however, an external microphone can also be used. III. Internet Browser: Make sure your internet browser is up to date. Most devices perform updates automatically when connected to the internet regularly. IV. Suitable Environment: Choose a relatively quite room with ample space to move around and minimal interruptions. V. Attire: Wear comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement. Many find that workout clothes are ideal, as they ensure access to the area of the body being examined. For instance, if you're addressing knee pain, opt for shorts or pants that can be comfortably pulled above the knee.

After Dr. Burket approves your initial evaluation, he will send you an invitation via email to complete all necessary paperwork online through PracticeQ, a HIPAA-secured platform. Once you've filled out the paperwork, you'll submit it back to him.
