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.

Not happy with office staff. Went elsewhere
Good doctor - thorough, explains things and am comfortable with his evaluation and explanation. Unfortunately, his office staff is another thing. It is basically a patient mill. The receptionist is never available and rarely returns calls. I have never called and not got the answering service. The office is on the penthouse level, and you cannot arrive early (as elevator will not go there until someone is in the office). Came many times and could not get to office. Doctor administered eye drops to patients in the waiting area (even first-time patients), which is not standard medical practice. Limited hours (Tu,WF 11-5 only). After having them cancel my appointment, I could not rebook after three attempts (including a fourth time physically going to the office). After many attempts, I gave up and went to another retina specialist. Do NOT recommend.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Berman for over two years and found that he completely well-informed, professional, skilled, caring and a well-trained ophthalmologist. He will take time with each patient to review, explain and answer all questions. Dr. Berman is truly an amazing surgeon, as I received excellent care before, during and after my surgery. The wait time maybe long, but I can’t praise him enough and he’s defiantly worth the wait.

What a pleasure it is to finally be under the care of such a capable, caring, and astute physician! Dr. Berman’s people skills are matched by his super clinical and surgical talents. I highly recommend Dr. Berman to anyone seeking a great ophthalmologist who happens to be a great person as well.

Dr. Berman is that rare medical professional who is both professionally skilled and socially evolved. As he does all the usual eye tests in a quietly efficient way, Dr. Berman engages the patient with a rich discussion on various topics. it is just so civilized to find a doctor who looks at the patient and not only the computer screen and who is NOT trying to push you out the door in 5 minutes.
