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.

From my first appointment with Dr. Berman - I knew he wasn't the Dr. for me. He was more concerned about getting me back to work full time then he was about finding the source of my pain and problem. After I had an MRI, he said that nothing was found and that he could release me to work full time again - even though I was still in pain. I felt like he was treating me like I had no pain. Very sorry I wasted three months of appointments with him and nothing was resolved.

My experience with Dr. Berman is unbelievable. I wish all the other doctors I see(and that is many) were like him. He is so caring, he explains everything so that I understand the problem and what is going on with my neck and back. He is so down to earth and caring. I would highly recommend him to my friends, family and students. Thank You so much.

I have been going to Dr. Berman for a number of years and have always received superior care from him. His concern with my wellbeing is great. Unlike other Dr. I have had in the past He gives advice and is willing to listen to my thoughts as to what is going on with my problems.

I was dreading the visit but Dr. Berman was so patient and calming the appointment turned into one of the best I've had. Dr. Berman was thorough in his exam and answered all my questions so I left feeling like I was in good hands. I would definitely recommend the office and Dr. Berman to anyone who could benefit from a respectful venue and doctor.

I have been seeing Dr Berman since a work injury in late 2011. I had been to plenty of specialists, including Johns Hopkins, but he was the only one that was able diagnose me properly. We were able to get my nerve pain under control after months of going to various doctors. He is very thorough, kind, and caring. I highly recommend Dr Berman.

Dr. Berman treated me for multuple herniated discs in the lumbar area of my back. He refused to listen to my concerns about injections but his reply was don't worry it's only anabolic steroids to help you. I was then told this would be at my expense and had to have the money up front. Further he encouraged me to abuse NSAIDS in order to potentially destroy my liver instead of helping me deal with my ailments. Berman did not have the proper notes nor did he even care. He is more concerned his wealth than the patient's wellbeing .
