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.

Rude, Mean, and behind on current standards
I had an ingrown toenail removed by Dr. Berger. After the surgery the site was infected. It was after hours so I went to my PCP who cleaned it and then followed up with Dr. Berger. She told me 'in all my years of practice I have never had a patient get an infection and who would I trust? My PCP or the person who actually did my surgery?'. After a month or so I had a second follow up wherein I described pain i was still having and she said 'wow. I would hate to see if something really bad happened to you.' Luckily that was my last follow up and I never went back. Months later I still had issues and found out her wound care instructions were no longer the standard or recommended. Additionally, that nail has now grown back in, in pieces. I regret ever going to her. I will have have to have the procedure repeated to hopefully correct this.

Dr. Berger performed surgery on my daughters foot in March of 2018 to remove a bunionette. In August of 2018 x-rays in her office revealed that the foot was still broken. We sought a second opinion. At that time we learned that my daughter would need a second surgery to repair this foot that invoked a very painful bone graph , steel plate and 5 screws. I would not recommend allowing Dr. Berger to operate on you or anyone you love.

Dr. Berger is amazing. She is very kind and compassionate and incredibly personable. I always feel completely at ease under her care. I wouldn't trust anyone else for my foot care.
