Very arrogant man to deal with. Read the reviews and even saw him featured on the local news a few times. Made the mistake of cordially telling him that he comes well recommended and that I saw him on commercials. He obnoxiously chuckled and informed me “I don’t do commercials.” Never came across someone with a bigger ego. May very well know his stuff but unless you like a jerk I would go elsewhere.

Doctor Berger saw me and reassured that my knee was healing normally. I had panicked and was afraid the total knee replacement had become infected, which it had not. The staff was wonderful in squeezing me into the busy clinic schedule without my having an appointment 2 weeks after my knee replacement surgery.

At 54 In September 2018 I had my right hip replaced after suffering for about 6 years. Early degenerative arthritis. I could not tie my shoe or put socks on. I could not cross my right leg over left. Sleep and getting in and out of a car and chairs was painful. By December I was already doing all the things I couldn’t do! Dr Berger and his team are extraordinary and I highly recommend him and in a couple years he will do my left hip.

Dr. Berger did knee replacement on my right knee in June of 2019. Pain in both knees had such a negative impact on my quality of life. I could not walk more than a few steps without extreme pain. Friends told me that it was painful for them to watch me stand and take even a few steps. I missed playing and being active with my grandchildren. My pain prevented me from taking a trip of a lifetime with my family to Europe. Immediately after surgery I walked almost pain free. There was some tightness as was expected from surgery but the bones were no longer rubbing against east other. I can’t wait for August surgery of left knee.

I have had both knees done with Dr. Berger and his minimally invasive procedure. It has been two months for my left knee and 1 month for my right knee. I am already virtually pain free (without any painkillers) and have both excellent straight and bend in both knees. Dr Berger was recommended to me by a friend who had both knees done by him. It was the best decision of my life to go see him. I felt well prepared and well cared for. I highly recommend anyone needing a knee replacement go and talk to Dr Berger!

As a former CBS-TV network affiliate medical reporter, I can say Dr. Berger's entire medical practice, from his groundbreaking surgical techniques to every member of his highly trained and dedicated staff, it is the finest medical practice I have ever encountered. It's as simple as that.

My visit with Dr Berger was my 1yr follow up after he performed my knee replacement. His staff is outstanding and answers any questions you may have. So well trained, Dr Berger doesn’t need much time when seeing you!! Dr Berger’s expertise and development of all joint replacement, hip and knee implants have been created by him with his engineering background! He makes sure everything is perfect and you can walk home the same day as surgery!!! I highly recommend Dr Berger, you will be amazed!

I had both knees replaced by Dr Berger 3 years ago. I only wished that I would have done it years before. I’m enjoying my grandkids and doing more things since replacement. Dr Berger and his staff are wonderful. They take you thru each step of the replacement explaining everything about it. I walked out of hospital both times with only a cane for 2-3 days and then walked normally after that. Was back to work in 2 weeks only cause I stayed home for therapy visits. Wonderful doctor.

Dr. Berger gave me my life back! He does amazing work. His staff is very efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I am so happy I found him because he made many things happy other surgeons told me were impossible. I would recommend anyone with anthem insurance to go see him.

Gave me my life back. At 42 years old, I was told by every doctor I saw that I was too young for a knee replacement or that I would have to quit my job as a dance teacher in order for them to do the procedure. Dr. Berger disagreed, and 8 years ago gave me a new lease on life and the ability to continue doing what I love... I have referred numerous friends and family members, and they too have had success. Thank you so much
