"These are my opinions which came from my personal interaction with Dr. Berger and his staff.
I met Dr. Berger June 16, 2003. From the moment I met him my mind was at ease. He was one of the nicest doctors I've ever met. He was very thorough, and took time to explain to me in detail everything, even though I already knew. He made sure I was aware of all the risks and benifits. Made sure any question I had was answered.
His office staff.. hmm well from first impressions it wasn't that great. The ppl at the reception desk werent that helpful.. The whole registration process was kind of confusing and disorganized for a first time patient. Besides that, everyone was very nice and personable. The nurses were very nice and answered quesitons for me. The nutritionist, Vanessa was very very nice and informative.
Aftercare was stressed. It's a life changing operation and he made sure I was aware I was changing my life and not just my body.
Dr. Berger sat and listed every single possible complication and risk from the surgery and possible after surgery complications.
I really like Dr. Berger. 1-10... so far I would rate him an 8.. let's see how the surgery goes..
Well his bedside manner is awesome! He made me very comfortable with him as my Dr.
I'll answer remaining questions as process goes on. =o)
