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 experience
100% positive experience. He explained everything well, listened to my questions, and was personable and cheerful. I don't understand the negative reviews on here--sorry others haven't had good experiences. I also understand he's a superb clinician and that matters to me.

Rude and condescending. He made assumptions about my case, forgot important information and has the social skills of a rock. He needs training in this area. I will never see him again.

He did my colonoscopy and without asking/telling me in advance that he would do so, did a biopsy of perfectly healthy tissue. Unacceptable.

Turns out I have some congenital abnormalities to my colon. Twisting and turning. Dr. Berkman's instrument made it all the way to the appendix, with some external pressing on my abdomen. Three cheers for a physician who doesn't know what he will encounter, confronts the difficulty, and overcomes it.

He has absolutely no bedside manner. He is an arrogant egotist.

By his own admittance, he didn't know what was wrong with me or how to help me. Nor did he even try. I had to order my own tests in order to finally get some answers. Furthermore, he didn't even remember what my symptoms were nor did he bother to write them all down. On the second and final visit with him, he asked me, "What are your symptoms again?" while searching the computer screen for some clue as to why I was there. Absolutely unacceptable.

My symptoms were dismissed after one look at me. Severe, acute symptoms got superficial explanation and patronizing guidance.

Dr. Berkman is a caring and conscientious doctor. I felt comfortable with him form the beginning and he always took the time to explain my diagnosis and treatment options. He got me through a very difficult illness.
