I was referred to Bealka. I urge both doctors (father and son) in the practice to gather the courage to admit when a patient might need more help than they can provide. Maybe attend more conferences from this century??? Use better equipment? I trusted y'all..and you didn't help me. You treated the symptoms but never cared to get to the root cause of it.

I am so pleased with Dr. Bealka and his staff. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he takes the time to explain things along the way. Surgery was a complete success!

Something unknown had attacked my eyes. I suspected eyelash mites. Dr. Bealka and staff took special care to get me in immediately for exam and medicine was prescribed that day. Dr. Bealka was genuinely concerned and took extra effort to understand what had attacked me.
