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 had two surgeries with Dr. Bergman, the first in 2011. I had such a positive experience with him that when I got injured in 2013; I knew I needed to go back to him. Now I am experiencing more issues I am looking to see him again.

SUCCESS
I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Bergman. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, professional, and an outstanding surgeon. He is renowned and much sought after. I was fortunate to have him as my doctor. Through surgery he has provided relief from my chronic pain, which was due to spondylolisthesis and after more than three years I am so grateful to him. He was a godsend.

I have had two appointments, plus surgery with the Doctor, and I could not be more pleased. My surgery went very well, and the care by the Dr's Team and hospital staff was outstanding. Everyone I know has already heard my favorable assessments of the Doctor, and the Hospital.

I had a ACDF procedure done through Dr. Bergman M.D and Eric DeCuir PA-C. Both of them were great! Very knowledgeable, helpful, and most important as good as you will find at their craft. They are in high demand and rightfully so, but it was well worth the slight extra wait to get to work with them. I was extremely nervous prior to surgery. Any situation involving the spinal cord is nerve racking , but rest assured you are in great hands with these pros. Simply top-notch!

He has completely ignored my son's need for surgery on his Spondylolisthesis L5/S1. Six months after the original scheduled date...still nothing. Now extremely suicidal- chronic pain 24/7. Keep feeding him pain meds,etc for the numerous side effects...numbness in hands, legs and feet, joint pain, fractured foot from trying to offset the back pain, sleeplessness, depression...unable to work or have any kind of normal life. Unbelievable! Dr is not God...as he thinks!

Not only did he fail to accurately diagnose my condition, but he genuinely didn't give a hoot about me as a person. It seemed like he just wanted me to leave asap and seemed perfectly content with saying I don't know. You should try someone else. Completely unhelpful and a waste of my time and money.

Dr. Bergman explained my tumors to me in a way that was easy to understand, he's very down to earth, honest and likable. He is a brilliant doctor, very experienced, and my favorite doctor of all I've ever been treated by!
