WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting Capital City Orthopaedics, the practice of Austin orthopedic surgeon, Michael Burris, MD. For those of you wondering, Dr. Omar Akhtar has now moved on to practice in Iowa. Dr. Akhtar was a great orthopedic surgeon and partner. He will be missed by his patients and by us. We now continue our mission to provide a personalized, compassionate experience from your first phone call and through every encounter with us. Our philosophy is to exhaust non-surgical treatment options whenever possible, while providing specialized surgical treatment when necessary. Capital City Orthopaedics was established by Dr. Burris in 2007 and we have been restoring mobility in Austin and trying our best to improve our patient’s lives ever since. (In case you were wondering, yes orthopedics and orthopaedics are both correct spellings.) We offer specialized and comprehensive care of problems with the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments of the entire body) including but not limited to non-surgical treatment, preventative care, arthroscopic surgery, minimally invasive surgery and joint replacement surgery.

Dr. Burris specializes in treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries (ACL tear), arthroscopic surgeries of the knee and shoulder, rotator cuff tears, arthritis treatment and knee replacement surgery. He is currently the Chief Orthopedic Doctor for the Austin FC II soccer team in the MLS Next Pro League. Dr. Burris is board certified by The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and is also fellowship-trained in Orthopedic Sports Medicine, which focuses on treatment of the injured athlete.

OUR PROMISE

At Capital City Orthopedics, we strive to practice with integrity and care. When you have an appointment with us, you will always be seen and evaluated by Dr. Burris. We understand that at times this can make it harder to get an appointment when you want or you may have to wait in the office a little longer than you would like. Our goal however is to provide you with the highest quality of care we can.

Our mission is to help you get back to an active lifestyle and to help you reduce your pain. Many times this can be accomplished without surgical intervention, but sometimes surgery is the best route. We have years of experience treating thousands of patients and you will receive a personalized recommendation and treatment plan based on your individual circumstance.

Please contact us should you have any questions about our practice or would like to schedule a consultation.
