Reviews

"My 88 yr old mother has been have been seeing Dr. Burke approximately 20 years. She is a diabetic with glaucoma. She loves going to her eye appointments and has always been well care for. She has never waited longer than 5 minutes. Dr Burke and his staff are very personable and the experience is by far the best experience she has had with any physician. The service she receives from this office is wonderful and I just wanted to share it with anyone who is looking for a great Dr with top notch experience and a great staff."
