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.

Beyond grateful
Dr Bershadskiy has treated my brother who had terminal cancer. Im convinced that due to the treatment plan and Dr Bershadskiy’s oversight my brother has lived much longer against all odds. Dr Bershadskiy told us the facts and stats and was very transparent on the potential outcomes which allowed my brother to get his things in order just as he wanted.

Very caring
Dr. Bershadskiy has always taken the time to explain my chemo and condition to me and my family members. Even when I was overwhelmed and in total denial when I was first diagnosed and asked him to please leave my hospital room. He was kind and went on as if it never happened when I went to see him 2 weeks later. A true gentleman and professional. Anytime I text him he gets back to me within minutes. He is down to earth and not arrogant at all. He truly cares. Everybody told me to go to the city… I’m glad I didn’t. I found an excellent oncologist 15 mins from home! Thank you Dr. Bershadskiy

Excellent doctor, highly reccomend
I have been successfully treated by Dr B for the past two years for my blood condition. Dr B is the first physician who is always available to discuss issues and returns my calls to answer any additional questions that come up. I always feel that Im on good hands. Oh and did I mention he is brilliant!

Clueless & Lazy
He was very anxious & pushy to start me on CLL Leukemia medication but when I got Pleurisy he did nothing to help me but instead told me that my side effect wasn’t a listed side effect. Very uncaring, nonchalant & dangerous!

He was my dad’s oncologist, he went on vacation and when he returned he didn’t even come see my dad in the hospital. Was not transparent with his condition. The doctor returned back to work on a Wednesday and and my dad passed away that Friday. Not even a phone call to us when and after he passed away. Would I recommend him, no.

Because of my Cancer, I have been to numerous Oncologist - to date Dr. Bershadskiy he has been the best one. He is very knowledgeable and will always get back to you, via his email, with answers to your concerns - almost always on the same day asked (very few doctors have done that with me). Dr. Bersahdskiy is also a very caring doctor - and I highly recommend him.
