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.

Dropped after waiting 6 months for an appointment
After waiting six months for an appointment, I was abruptly informed—just one week before—that they no longer accept my insurance. This is the same insurance I deliberately chose solely to see this provider. When I asked when they stopped accepting it, I was told it had been four months. Four months—and yet no one thought to notify me. This level of disorganization and disregard for patients’ time is absolutely unacceptable. I’m deeply disappointed, but frankly, if this is how poorly the practice is managed, I’m likely better off elsewhere.

Why is she moody lately?
During my last 2 appointment she had been so moody. What is going on? I have been with her for years and like her but her moods are really turning me off.

Dr. Starke has been my Gynecologist for 20 plus years. She is patient and compassionate. She listens. You never feel rushed when she is attending to you and your concerns. My daughter is also a patient of Dr Starke and feels the same as I. Her staff is also excellent in answering calls and responding in a timely manner. I highly recommend Dr. Starke to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable doctor.

Grateful patient
I am so blessed to have found Dr. Starke. She is my doctor for more than 20 years. I was very fortunate to have her in my medical insurance all these years, I am only so sad because as I approach retirement I will be forced to find another doctor because her office doesn’t accept Medicare patients. I trust her and I won’t want to see any other doctor. Her staff is always very friendly and accommodating. If something is not right all I have to do is let them know and they fix it right away. Thanks to Dr. Starke and staff for all they do on behalf of the patients. As I approached retirement I will pray for that to change, so that I can continue see Dr. Starke as my trusted doctor. Maybe it will… thank for all these years!

Compassionate, kind and excellent Gyn Doctor
The office is well appointed, well staffed and organized. Parking is available across the street at the Merrick Park mall appointment times are taken seriously. She’s always available for those emergent office visits for new and establish patients. The use of a patient portal makes it easy to communicate with her. I really appreciate that. She gives breast cancer patients extra consideration, and she usually has samples available so you do not have to invest in a product. You don’t know will work. She holds multiple regenerative open houses. She is very current with her medical knowledge as well as pharmaceutical risk and benefits. Her best characteristic is that she leans in and listens to carefully to fully understand your concerns.

She is a wonderful doctor and person
Dr Starke has been my doctor for a couple of years now. She takes the time to get to know me as a person not only as a patient. I am not just a number to her. She is sweet, understanding and is an extremely talented clinician. I would recommend her to everyone with my eyes closed. I love it that she explains everything in detail and makes sure you understand what is going on and makes you feel incredibly at ease while performing any exam. She has many different areas of expertise for women who are in need of so many different things as Weightloss, babies, contraception, breast and uterine yearly exams, hormone replacement and many other incredible services. Her staff is wonderful, friendly and also very knowledgeable and accommodating to the patient. I’m so happy to be part of Dr Starke”s patients. If you are a in need for a Ob/Gyn doctor Dr Starke is the person you are looking for. Don’t give it another thought- you’ll thank me one day! AMH ;-)

Highly recommend
This office left an impression on me.. Doctor Starke has a gentle manner. She’s gained a new patient for life! I cannot express how relaxed and comfortable she has made my visit. I was dreading the annual check-up, but the office made the whole experience a good one. The waiting time was minimal. The parking was plenty, and my visit was around 35 minutes in total! Staff was friendly as should be. The office was clean, and is located in the beautiful city of Coral Gables right across Merrick Park. I highly recommend Dr. Starke.
