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.

Do, follow the data.
I went out of my way to provide pertinent lab and radiology reports to AZ Endovascular. That Dr. Berens didn't bother to read them BEFORE he began the office visit tells me he's supremely confident or thinks he's psychic. Either way, failing grade for bedside manner. To give benefit of the doubt, that is so typical of excellent surgeons.

I suffer from atherosclerosis & have had multiple surgeries by Dr Berens. Dr. Berens is amazing--kind, compassionate--also a great sense of humor. Absolutely THE VERY BEST vascular surgeon in Tucson & probably Arizona. Don't go anywhere else--even the Mayo Clinic where I went for a second opinion on my carotid--I was told to just monitor it. Well I ended up passing out in my kitchen & going to St Joseph's for surgery with Dr. Berens.

My husband was in St. Joseph's hospital for over 3 weeks. In Dr. Beren's absence, both his partners, Dr. McKeever and Dr. Compton, have continued with excellence of care. I emphasize that there has been no gaps in his care and no stone unturned. The communication amongst them is incredible. This office is truly 24/7 with medical care.

Dr Berens is the best vascular surgeon in Tucson. Over the years I have dealt with many vascular surgeons and have had numerous procedures and Dr Berens is at the head of the class. Extremely thorough and excellent surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr Berens for anyone that needs a vascular surgeon.
