Dr. Hamburger did a great job with my eye exam. His office managed my appointment professionally. I wish my current insurance covered him, if they did I would still be his patient!
Verified patient
He was great. I originally went in for an annual eye check but decided to get RPK surgery and couldn't be happier.

Really appreciated how forthright and careful Dr. Hamburger was in explaining the pros and cons of LASIK and PRK, and also in talking me through the ins and outs of my personal situation and providing recommendations for better eye care. I'll definitely be going back!
Verified patient
Dr. Hamburger and his staff were very friendly and knowledgable. The experience was great overall, with the exception of a very busy waiting room and a long wait time before being seen.
Great, convenient location for anyone who works or lives in the downtown Denver area. Nice office and facilities, very pleasant and professional staff. I'm very satisfied with my new eye doctor.
Verified patient
The technician (MA) who did the intial tests was excellent. Dr Hamburger was pleasant and cheerful. I enjoyed my exam, and I'm happy with the results.
Verified patient
The office is very nice, but the person who checked me in a the front desk was VERY rude. I almost felt like I was an inconvenience to her. Maybe she was having a bad day?? Overall the appointment was good and it went very quickly.
Excellent... very happy
Verified patient
He didn't introduce himself or have a name tag ... there were other doctors and techs in the office taking patients back to the examining areas, so I wasn't sure who he actually was. I only found out from the tech who was doing part of the exam later during the appointment. His manner was kind of aloof and cool in the beginning but he was warmer and more engaging at the end of the appointment. He did seem quite competent, but I need at least two follow-up appointments to know if my problem has been completely resolved and my vision unchanged.
Verified patient
Hamburger was really nice and informative.
They were late seeing me which I wasn't happy about as I arrived early and told them I was in somewhat of a hurry, but Dr. Hamburger is great and I felt completely at ease around him and very comfortable with his knowledge and skill.
normal good service
Excellent Doctor. Will see him again.
