I would highly recommend Dr. Berkman. After 30 years of neck pain, He was finally able to pinpoint where my pain was coming from. I am now getting relief for that and very thankful. He is so nice and caring. Patiently spent the time I needed to answer my questions and explain my situation in detail.

Well, there Where other factors which force me to decide to get my surgery through a different physician (I live out of state ) I would highly recommend this physician and his staff. I was so thoroughly impressed by them that I will definitely go back to them if needed in the future.
