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.

I have personally been a patient of Docs for about 15 years. Soon after I started seeing him I switched my kids over to him. He is very thorough, listens, treats and shows concern. He treats his patients like family. I've never had a better doctor. I have multiple health issues, he has helped me solve every single one of them and made me comfortable. He is wonderful with my children, has seen all of them grow up. He also sees my husband and is great with his as well!

Women do not go to him!
For years I have been dismissed and the old classic, it's your weight, it's your stress, it's nothing, change your diet. I don't like how he talked to me. years in agony with aches like electricity, vomiting, no sleep, faint, my partner has had to help me go to the bathroom. I asked for just INFO for an OBGYN so I could see THEM to talk about a partial hysterectomy because I know my body. He said,'What if you change your mind? What if your future husband wants children and you can't have them? Your insurance will never cover it'. I then wasn't given any info. None of that was his business & it was like he was saying a scripted speech to me. I have taken the liberty of researching an OBGYN & changing my primary doctor to a woman closer to my age. Im absolutely disgusted. He's not a bad man but,he makes bad medical choices. Im currently in the process of getting tested for autoimmune disorder. Something that should have been referred 4 years ago. Ridiculous.Not my weight or my stress.

As a married couple - My husband and I were looking for a Family Dfoctor for our health care needs and came across Cambridge City Family Medicine & nearly 3 years ago Dr. Bertsch became our Doctor. Dr. Bertsch is an amazing Doctor very thorough in his care and treatment. He is quite knowledgeable & compassionate. He is not the type of Doctor that pushes you out the door quickly just to move on to next patient leaving you without resolution. His staff (team) are awesome as well!
