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.

Beyond disappointed with this doctor. Upon entering the room, the first thing he said was 'what do you want me to do?' This was shocking as my daughter was a new patient and we were seeking a specialist in asthma to understand what to do. He was very dismissive during the visit of my clear concern for her treatment and desire to understand the proper care, as we have had conflicting treatment plans for her asthma. At the end of our visit, he indicated she did not have allergies nor asthma, yet recommended putting her on significantly more asthma medicine. AM (2 puffs) PM (2 puffs) and emergency inhaler before her sport daily (2puffs)... this was shocking specifically because it is never recommended to take the emergency inhaler daily, and I already informed him of her heart palpitations another doctor linked to the emergency inhaler overuse. I don't know if there was a racial bias at play or if he just wanted to take advantage of our insurance, but I do not recommend at all.

The "Rock Star" of allergists, as another allergist referred to him! I've been a patient for 20 years. His whole office staff are the best. He has always been supportive and understanding. His system with the allergy shots sure helped me. I rarely have any allergic reactions now just have to maintain the asthma. I started with him on some clinical trials. Great success.

My neurologist had me have allergy testing done in case allergies were contributing to my migraines. I did have allergies. Dr. Berger prescribed 2 nasal sprays. They caused horrible head pain (due to my brain surgery). He wouldn't prescribe oral medication, because he doesn't believe they are effective (or as effective?) So, I'm left with no relief. Then his assistant tells me to get the allergy shots. They tell you it's such a small dose it won't affect you. I had headaches after every shot.
