TESTIMONIAL
Our Happy Patients
Our commitment to our patients shows in our reviews!
A few weeks ago I visited your office for a long overdue ‘routine’ colonoscopy. I was surprised how painless and unembarrassing it was. To my surprise, Dr. Berger told me he found a large polyp that he was able to remove. Yikes! Thank God everything turned out okay, but I am extremely grateful to you and your fantastic team (thanks Linda!) for helping me through this! You are all wonderful!
A sincere thanks to all of you for being so nice when I had my upper endoscopy. Words can’t express my appreciation to Dr. Berger for his understanding and patience. . . I delayed having this procedure for a long time, knowing this would be a problem – maybe insurmountable. I was so embarrassed at my difficulty, but you . . .solved the problem. You’re terrific and I am grateful.
