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.

Great with children
He had very good product recommendations for my newborn and knows when something is cause for concern(when they're young and firstborn it seems everything is) and when it's not. He's also good with babies.

Due to changing insurance, we only had two visits with Dr Berger. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, patient, and friendly and we would definitely stay with him were it not for the insurance changes. My wife and I highly recommend him!

We saw Dr Berger today and as always, I am very pleased w/ his clinical expertise & professionalism. I am an ICU nurse, after 17 yrs, like most, hard to please, always looking for more. He is very detailed with his assessment & listens very carefully to the reported symptoms/complains, as if he has all the time in the world; never felt rushed. He cares that he makes the right diagnosis & treatment . It is very rare nowadays to find clinicians like Dr. Berger, very thorough.

My daughter doesn't like doctors (she's 2 haha). And my son is 9 months so doctors appointments can be difficult. Dr Berger is so helpful and so nice to both the kids. He has really taken the time to help her feel more at ease. I've never felt rushed or like my problems didn't matter or didn't warrant the doctors visit. he answers all my questions and gives helpful advice.

My 13-y-o sustained a Rt flank injury from the faucet while showering. Dr. Berger's attitude was condescending & dismissive. In my world this doesn't happen to healthy kids. His exact remark to me was: Well, why did you bring her in here?. EXCUSE me, but my level of concern far exceeds your level of inconvenience. This was one of the most frightening things that I've ever witnessed in my child. 11 years ago she had a similar incident;. I don't think there's much correlation, but I'm not a doc.
