Dr. Buerger performed (external) DCR surgery on both eyes due to blocked tear ducts. I've been dealing with them for approximately four years. I had constant tearing and it was extremely difficult for me. I work at the front desk of a hotel, so I see a lot of people me on a daily basis. I was very reluctant to have this surgery. I finally had it yesterday and it was such an easy surgery for me. I have small incisions on both sides of my face. I had no pain the day of the surgery or after. I'm barely black & blue. I would recommend Dr. Buerger to anyone. He is a very kind doctor who explained everything to me. He stopped to see me after my surgery to make sure I was doing okay. Thank you Dr. Buerger!

Dr. Buerger performed eyelid surgery on me and it went so smoothly and I was thrilled with the results. I recommended him to my sister and several friends whom he also helped and I can't say enough how great he is and so professional. Gave a client his number today!

Dr. Buerger performed upper and lower eyelid surgery on both my eyes. I had continuing problems with one eye following the surgery. I found him to be non-communicative and switched to another plastic opthalmologist to correct the problems.
