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.

Toenail Fungus
Dr. Birkel has a calm, professional bedside manner. Office is very punctual. I decided to do the laser toenail and topical treatments instead of prescription medication. Dr. Birkel respected my decision. I had severe toenail fungus on my left foot. I have undergone 3 laser treatments and no more yellow fungus. I’ve completed 3 treatments and will go for another 3 more and continue until my toenails fully grow out. This office also has an inexpensive treatment plan. They do not rip you off and charge exuberant, unnecessary treatment. Please be patient if you chose the laser. It will not happen overnight. I live in VB and chose to go to the Suffolk office and am glad I did. The staff that administers it he laser is fantastic and friendly, always have a smiling face and know what their doing. Just do it if you have patience and want to get rid of the fungus.

Wonderful Doctor!
Dr. Birkel is one of the best doctors in this area. He takes time to explain the patient's situation, provides solutions, and gives the patient a chance to ask questions. He never makes us feel rushed during the appointment. He is very thorough and you can tell he genuinely enjoys helping people. He is definitely in the right profession. I am glad we found him! I can't say enough good things about him! His staff is also wonderful and very friendly from the representatives making the appointments by phone to the office staff! I highly recommend him!

I will stay with Dr Birkel and his team.
