Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor Buerk
I have always had an informative as well as swift appointments with Dr. Buerk. I would gladly send everyone his way especially from coming where I was when I met Dr. Buerk. I could not see out of my left eye very well at all. Dr. Buerk informed me what to do and insured me he knew what to do to stop the growth ands prevent scarring in my retina. Thank You Dr.Buerk and your team!

Dr. Buerk is professional and caring. He is clear in his explanation of the status of my eyes and treatment needed. He is open to questions. I see him regularly, requiring injections in both eyes. His staff is courteous and professional. I don't dread my appointments, but feel blessed that he is my doctor and I am receiving great care.

Dr Buerk is one of the most professional and pleasant doctors my wife and I have ever had. He answers any questions with compassion and patience. I’m particularly grateful that he saved my wife’s life by getting her cancer quickly diagnosed and treated. His office also went the extra mile in dealing with our difficult insurance company’s coverage. I can recommend him completely.

Dr. Buerk and his staff were very professional. He explained the details of the tests and then sat with me and explained in detail what the images of my eyes revealed. He was very thorough. As was his staff! They were patient explaining what they were about to do and why. I was very much at ease. Anyone needing his services, I would recommend him in a minute!
