The heart of Dr. Burnette’s profession lies beyond the clinical, embracing the human side of medicine. It’s the genuine connections formed with good people facing challenges that fuel his passion for healing.

Beyond cancer care, Brian is a committed advocate of clinical research. His dedication to advancing medical knowledge reflects a broader investment to improving healthcare outcomes and contributing to the greater medical community.

The most interesting place Brian visited holds a poignant significance. North Island, New Zealand, was a destination on his parents’ bucket list. The journey took on profound meaning as they explored the breathtaking landscapes together before his mother passed from breast cancer.

For this Upper Michigan native, it’s the people, the distinct seasons, and the vast outdoors that define the region’s uniqueness. Brian’s roots in the Upper Peninsula shape his understanding of the community he serves.
