Dr Burke, I just want to take a moment to thank you for everything you have done for our daughter. From day one you have been phenomenal; always taking your time and making sure she was comfortable with you and your procedures. She has spent the last week and a half telling everyone in the most excited tone ever, Dr.

Dr Burke, Let me first say how fortunate Willy (my son) and I have been to have had you for a surgeon and doctor. You have a gift in making people feel so comfortable (not all people/ or doctors have that you know)! I remember the time Willy brought in a fake rubber rat (around Halloween) to "scare, " you, and you walked in and threw your file of papers up in the air-it was great fun! Thanks for Everything! ~ P.

Although often compared to a camera, the eye is far more complicated and complex. It not only focuses and takes "pictures" but it also tracks and follows the target then processes this information seamlessly with the brain which ultimately allows us to be conscious of what we "see". Our eyes are indeed a very complex sensory organ that is an extremely important part of what we call the visual system.
The improved quality of medical care and educational resources provided to these children has allowed them to lead more productive lives and to have a longer life expectancy. The proper assessment and correction of their visual functioning can further enhance their quality of life. Individuals with Down syndrome are at increased risk for a variety of eye and vision disorders.

Dr. Burke is an excellent eye surgeon. He fixed my eye condition that I had called Strabismus. I had this when I was a teenager over 30 years ago and he was my eye surgeon. When I looked to my right, I had double vision which Dr. Burke fixed with surgery. Just recently this condition started to affect my vision when I looked to the left! Over 30 years later. I did some research and found Dr. Burke again. He has such an encouraging attitude and is a pleasure to deal with. He once again did an amazing job fixing my eye muscle issue! Thank you Dr. Burke!

What a wonderful experience it has been taking my daughter to Dr. Burke! In the past, she was scared to go to the eye doctor, but after her first visit with Dr. Burke, she kept begging me to go back as soon as possible. She loved the waiting room filled with games, and Dr. Burke made her feel like the most special person in the world. He took a special interest in her as a person and spent a lot of time working with my daughter to make sure her new prescription was exactly right. I had never seen an eye doctor be so meticulous in his exam, and I have never seen my daughter so happy to have an eye

I'm an adult, like senior old, who reached the point where the prism correction no longer handled my double vision. i was fortunate to have found Dr. Burke who confidently accessed and "fixed"my issue. There is no substitute for his experience helping many thousands of patients of all ages, even old guys like me. And a bonus, he's a great guy who quickly bonds with his patients, again of all ages.I am thrilled with my new eyes.

Without Dr. Burke, my life probably would have been much different. He's one of the best, most energetic, and most caring doctors I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, and his expertise is constantly astounding. Really, this is a doctor who can't help but make you smile.
For just over 20 years now, he's seen my eyes through thick and thin; through multiple surgeries and years of familial worries, he's someone who continually renews the gift of sight to me. He's quick, realistic, and to-the-point about what you may or may not need, now and in the future. I'm honestly convinced he really did find

Originally came in for a second opinion, and was right to get one because the other doctor wanted to do a more invasive procedure. Dr. Burke made a different recommendation that saved me from having both eyes operated on. In addition, he was very kind, knowledgeable, and skilled as a surgeon. The entire process to fix my eye was smooth, and I can’t imagine it being any easier.

Dr. Burke is diligent and comprehensive in care for his patients. He treats every patient like they are the most important patient he has, and he is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. The office staff is so helpful as well. Dr. Burke goes above and beyond to take caution to giving the best care possible. I would highly recommend him to family and friends, as I believe he is the best in his field!

I'm not sure if Dr. Burke remembers me, but I certainly remember him.
As a child, I was born with amblyopia (and a pretty severe case of it too, based on what I know).
The fact is, I really don't know what it's like to grow up with this condition or the challenges a child with it may face. All of that is thanks to Dr. Burke. I had 4 surgeries, the first one when I was only a toddler and my last being around the time I was 6 or 7 years old. Dr. Burke was there every single step of the way.
This was over 25 years ago. I'm now 30 years old and you'd never know I was born with amblyopia unless I

Dr. Burke and his staff are amazing. I brought my twins that have Autism to see Dr. Burke. We had terrible experiences with two other providers prior to this visit so I was hesitant going in. The staff was very welcoming. Dr. Burke connected with the kids immediately and made everything fun. We finally got a correct diagnosis that explains my boys challenges and a treatment plan to move forward. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Dr. Burke is the most compassionate and caring doctor I have ever met. I have had to deal with my eye turning outward most of my life. I was made fun of lots of times because of it. My eye doctor had told me to never let a doctor do surgery on me but I started having double vision so I researched myself. I’m so glad I found Dr. Burke he made my life so much better and my eyes are as straight as can be. He was as excited as me at my follow appointment. His staff are great too. I would trust him with my whole family.

Dr. Burke's office team is extremely thorough in preparing you for your visit. They mailed me my forms ahead of time to fill out. So when we walked in the door, we had everything ready and after using the bathroom, they were ready to see us!
The waiting room is a digital Disney land of screens. The kids will not want to leave!
Once we were with Dr. Burke (who came to get us from the waiting room- first time I've ever had that happen at an appointment for anything!) we were immediately put at ease by his playful and friendly demeanor. He made my 3 year old comfortable and kept him stimulated
