    How was your appointment with Dr. Berman?

    Mar 08, 2018
    My fiance had emergent surgery for a perforated colon. Dr. Berman ended up doing 5 surgeries that were extremely complicated. He has always been a phone call away and has met us after hours when we were experiencing symptoms that could not wait. We owe my fiance's life to him and will forever be grateful for his compassion and time spent with us!
