About David C. Burke
David Burke, FNP-C, went into family practice as a nurse practitioner after working in the intensive care unit (ICU) as a nurse for many years. “I loved critical care medicine but realized that if more people received good, consistent primary care, they may not have ended up in the ICU in the first place,” he says.
David changed gears and chose primary care, hoping that he could “help people manage their health problems more effectively and avoid hospitalizations so they could spend more time living their lives and less time being a patient.”
In his practice, David emphasizes prevention and wellness. “I strongly urge all my patients to make exercise a regular part of their daily lives,” he says. David also encourages a Mediterranean-style diet and stresses the importance of making informed decisions based on the best available evidence. As an educator and advocate, he feels that “it’s important to help patients better understand health information and make choices that are best for their situation.”
David earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona School of Nursing and his master’s degree in nursing from Northeastern University.
Born and raised in Massachusetts, David met his wife in nursing school. He loves spending time with his family, including his two children, and exploring Oregon, rock climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, surfing, hiking and anything outdoors.

This was the first time I saw David Burke. I came in because I had been sick with the flu or food poisoning for a week. He explained my symptoms and alleviated my concerns. He also took the time to explain the side effects of GLP-1 and the side effects of the flu are different.

While I may be only moderately inclined to recommend this specific PMG clinic to others, I highly recommend David Burke. He listens and provides helpful information. He Is engaged, friendly, takes a collaborative approach, and seems very knowledgeable.

After a few weeks of recovering from a cold I caught on a cruise in Alaska I realized I might have a nagging case of bronchitis. I really appreciate scheduling the appointment with David Burke one day after calling the clinic for help. David Burke confirmed the case of bronchitis, and I have taken all the medications as prescribed. One week later I feel so much better - like my regular self. This is very much appreciated.
