Dr Berk is knowledgeable and explains things in ways you can understand and explains until you understand. Crohns is the most embarrassing disease yet he is as comfortable talking to as if you were talking about a simple cold. Would recommend him every day of the week.

Dr Berk took his time and formulated an accurate diagnosis for me. He schedules plenty of time and makes sure that all of your questions are answered and that you fully understand what is going on. I believe that he is the only liver specialist in the State of Idaho and after just a few minutes with Dr Berk you will see that he really is knowledgeable. I'd have no problems recommending him for gastroentology and/or liver problems.

In the 18 months I was under his care I found him to be extremely likable, BUT his basic knowledge of medicine was lacking and ill informed. He made many errors. He didn't order one test that should of been ordered and ordered many unnecessary tests and procedures and even one incorrect procedure. I felt like he was "churning".
