Both the PA and the doctor did a very good job explaining my situation and the options that I have and what would work best to help me out.

I've known Dr. Berman many years and he's a great orthopedic. He only spent a couple of minutes with me during my appointment but that is likely because he arrived at a diagnosis so quickly based on his skills and PA Kim's excellent prep questions & notes. I left feeling confident, informed, and grateful.

Dr. Berkman prescribed me a steroid injection I asked his assistant about it's side effects and she said there is no side effect on that. I asked her is it a type of pain killer? She said yes! While Dr. Berkman said no! Assistant didn't have information or didn't want to say!

When the PA for Dr. Berkman came in, she started grabbing the part of my leg that was already hurting. I understand that she needed to check out the part that was hurting, but I would have liked for her to be more gentle and to at least warn me that she was going to grab the part of my leg that hurt so much I went to the doctor.

Dr. Berkman really seems to care for my well being. He listens to what is causing me pain and lists all the possible options to reduce and/or eliminate the pain. I never feel like he's rushing me or trying to finish up quickly. He is there to help. I feel like an individual, not just a number on his schedule.

As I was walking to my car after my appointment a Lady stopped me and asked if I had a good experience and who did I receive care from. Being it was my [...] time visiting myself I told her I thought I had a thorough diagnosis and felt comfortable with Dr. Berkman and gave her the phone number.
