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.

THE MAN
Can’t say enough about how wonderful and amazing Dr.Demke is. He is the most real and most humble surgeon I have ever met. I don’t know how normal of a life my 11yr old son would have if it wasn’t for him and the 6 successful surgeries we have had to date. He is a True blessing!

Great Doctor!
Nothing but positive feedback for Dr. Demke. Took great care of our 13yr old who had her tonsils removed and eardrum repaired at the same time. Not only knowledgeable, but also a down to earth guy. Highly recommend.

Great experience!
Doctor dempke is a very thorough and kind man that truly cares about his work and his patients. He gave my wife his cell # after our daughters surgery and responded quickly when we would have questions. I cannot say enough good things about him and his co workers. He is probably the best healthcare professional I’ve ever personally delt with.

Amazing
Dr. Demke has been great with walking us through or daughter’s cleft lip and palate. We live 2 hours away and he’s able to address our concerns through email. When we travel to visit his office everyone is so kind and our appointments are quick but very informative!! Dr. Demke and his team are wonderful. Our daughter had her first lip repair 6 weeks ago and we could ask for better results. I’ve compared Dr. Demke’s work to other doctors online and he has a great eye for detail and making sure everything heals well and our daughter got all the care that she needed. I’m very excited to continue our cleft journey with him.

Baby born with cleft lip
From the beginning while I still pregnant with my son, we had seen through the ultra sound that he would be born with a cleft lip and Dr. Demke helped us through every step. He is really informative and answered any questions that we had and even the possibility of a cleft pallet. The day after our son was born he was there at the hospital to check in on him and let us know the next steps. In the way Dr. Demke spoke about everything with confidence in the process made us feel at ease at every appointment. At just 4 months old, the day of the surgery he explained everything that he would be doing and how to care for our son afterwards as well. Thanks to him our sons lip is all taken care of and he’s able to eat even better now and you can’t see where the procedure was done! I’m very thankful for Dr. Demke that he was able to take care of our son!
