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.

Dr Burks and Staff
I have been a patient of Dr Burks for over 20 years. I had cataract surgery yesterday and the experience with Dr Burks and his staff was the most wonderful, positive and successful experience.

GREAT DOCTOR
I went to Dr. Burks on a recommendation and am very happy that I did. He made me feel at ease about the cataract surgery I needed and all through surgery he informed me of what was being done. His professionalism, expertise and caring demeanor is by far the best in my opinion. His nurse Marsha is very caring and was also present every step of the way. Thank you Dr. Burks for making me see clearly now and to your friendly and thorough staff for all their assistance. LV - Dec. 2023

Very positive experience
Very good team, was surprised how much better I saw after cataract surgery. You don't know how badly you have been seeing until you have a point of comparison - after the surgery. Good follow up. Recommended.

Dr . Burks and staff are caring, professional
I had cataract surgery. While my fiends had to administer numerous eye drops for weeks pre and post op, Dr Burks administered a few drops only on the day of surgery. The next day, my vision was almost perfect . He and his staff are very caring and provide excellent care

Cataract Surgery
I just had surgery on both eyes to removes cataracts. Dr Burks is not only an outstanding and knowledgeable Opthamologist but he is caring and reassuring, describing exactly his every move during the surgery putting me at ease and helping me to gain confidence. His assistant Marsha is always by his side, whether at the surgery site or in office, keeping critical notes with her professional and friendly manner. I highly recommend Dr Burks!

Outstanding doctor
Dr. Burks removed my cataracts and, most recently, repaired an incision from Mohs surgery on my eyelid. He is an outstanding doctor and I am delighted to be his patient. He is highly skilled, kind, caring and reassuring. Dr. Burks’ office staff answers telephone calls. I highly recommend Dr. Burks to everyone.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Burks. He has been my doctor for several years. He has removed 2 cataracts and has done some other procedures for me. Dr. Burks describes the procedure as he goes and makes sure you understand what is being done. He is an excellent surgeon with a terrific staff. I highly recommend Dr Burks. He has an incredible background and is renowned in his field.

He is the best eye doctor I have had. Very professional; engages you in a meaningful discussion about eye problems and remedies. He just did cataract surgery on my right eye and I now have great vision. I was very pleased with him and the staff that supported him.

Dr. Burks is a well informed eye doctor for your cataract/ stigma circumstances. He has a comforting manner in his office and during operations. He has a personable manner and can explain what is happening, what will happen and how it will benefit you directly. & check on your status after your surgery, also.

I have no central vision in my left eye. Prior to surgery with Dr. Burks, my right eye could only be corrected to 20/40. After my cataract surgery, my right eye was corrected to 20/15 without glasses! I've been seeing Dr. Burks every year since my surgery, and I would highly recommend him.
