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.

Thank you, Dr. Berger
This was my second surgery by Dr. Berger. He is an exceptional listener and surgeon, and he communicates that he cares about the person he is treating sincerely. Also, he answered all my questions about the procedure and recovery openly and thoroughly. I have seen him in person and by televisit as well. I recommend him enthusiastically.

Awesome doctor
Dr Berger is knowledgeable in alternatives to surgery. He prescribed medicine that is working better that other medicine I have taken and I will not need surgery. Thank you so much.

When Dr Berger first came into the room he was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about my condition. He did a very good exam and explained what my options were as he went over my ultrasound with me. I would highly recommend him to others. I left feeling much better and now I can schedule my surgery feeling confident.

I really do adore Dr. Berger. He's one of the nicest doctors I've ever met that actually know what they're doing. Sometimes you get a nice doctor, but they're more concerned with how the patient perceives them than staying up to date on the procedures they perform. Or you get a doctor who knows their stuff but they're either abrupt, or smarmy and arrogant. Dr. Berger is that rare, rare mix of doctor who knows his job but still has the bedside manner of the best nurses (my mom was a nurse!) Given "hiccups" in the process, Dr. Berger goes out of his way to be truly human and understanding with you. He seems to honestly care about the well-being of his patients and not just his bottom line like many physicians, much less surgeons. His team are a joy to work with, but Dr. Berger really makes the team shine with infectious laughter and I don't think I've ever seen him without a smiling face. Even through a major surgical procedure, Dr. Berger and his team put you at ease and allow trust.
