he permenantly scarred my retina with a procedure that he assured me was very safe and then he avoided me . I would say stay as far away from him as you can.

Dr. Duker made an accurate diagnosis of my problem but fell short when it came to being proactive about dealing with the symptoms of the treatment. His extremely conservative approach does not take advantage of available technology in the field of eye care. I did not receive accurate information concerning the possibility of a biopsy and thus missed the opportunity to be informed of my risk of systemic metastasis. This doctor seems to prefer patients who like the parental approach. He does not like to be questioned and can become quite nasty if a patient does not completely accept his judgment. I would recommend Dr. Duker for making an initial diagnosis, but would suggest that the patient transfer to someone else for follow-up care.

I have never felt as comfortable with a doctor as I have with Dr. Duker. The Center is wonderfully staffed. The wait time was minimal. The Amount of patients they see daily is staggering. He makes you feel at ease in the most desperate of times.

We brought our young son in after discovering an eye issue. Dr. Duker took the time and ran the necessary test quickly. He then explained in great detail the situation and the steps that were needed to remedy the problem. Has been patient and thorough thru the whole ordeal. Highly Recommend
