Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr. Berger was terrific. He as so kind and warm and caring. He was a careful observer of not only my history but got to know my problem thoroughly through asking me about it with a very careful set of excellent questions. He also observed I was wearing a continuous glucose monitor and immediately asked me if I was diabetic. He took his time pursuing different possibilities or what I might have, educating me as to why or why not it was one problem or another or others. He then carefully explained the treatment plan, its benefits, and any Side effects it might produce; and how to deal with them if they arose. My problem was somewhat complex and elusive and my doctors had tried several different treatments over the course of 5 months. Dr. Berger explained why they hadn't worked and why his treatment plan was likely to work. He is and expert's expert with an excellent bedside manner. I couldn't ask for more or praise him enough to reflect the esteem I hold for him. I feel fortunate to be in his care.

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Both Dr. Berger and Dr. Nicholson showed appropriate concern for my issue and asked a lot of questions to make sure they understood it. I was very pleased to have a possible solution proposed after no progress with another physician for the last two years. I feel like there is hope for healing after this appointment. I highly recommend these doctors and this practice.
