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.

Good explanation- corrected an eye issue I was born with and assumed I would have forever. VERY PLEASED!!!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Buerger?
Dr. David Buerger was a great disappointment. At my consultation, he gave me every indication that he would eliminate my upper eye folds as as well as under-eye pockets. No concerns, no reservations. The day of my surgery we again discussed my desired outcome. No concerns, no reservations. At my 1 month post-op appointment I expressed my concern about the minimal change and the folds and pockets that remained. Dr. Buerger said I was still swollen and healing and to give it 6 months. That seemed fair. However, by 8 months post-op I scheduled an office visit to express my disappointment. It was then that he told me that the upper eye lid folds, while somewhat improved, and under eye pockets, which are barely improved, could only be made better with a brow lift and a face lift. Why did Dr. Buerger not tell me this at my consultation? I certainly would not have paid for a surgery, at no minimal cost, that would not provide me with my desired outcome. I'm sad when I look in the mirror.
