Dr. Berkman's knowledge, care, & concern are top notch. I feel that he gets to the bottom of what might be going on quickly. I honestly only want him to look after my back & any issues I may have as I go through my older years. Thank you for taking your time to try to figure out what's best for me. Lori Moore
