I just had surgery with Dr. Berger. He was very kind, uplifting and reassuring. My surgery was quick, efficient and I feel fantastic. He made sure that I understood what was being done, and was prepared for the operation. His staff was also incredible, I felt that I was in great hands and now that I am back home recovering I know that I was.

I first came in contact with Dr Berger after I had been operated on twice for diverticulitis by a different surgeon in a different hospital. I experienced numerous complications including fistulas and adhesions and ended up with a colostomy , and t I was tolld it would be permanent by the surgeon who performed the procedure. I was only 40 and had 3 small children and was despondent. Dr. Berger accepted me as a patient and said the take down of the colostomy would be very challenging. He also said he liked a challenge. His confidence was exhilarating. Dr Berger was successful and l now lead a very active life with out a colostomy bag attached to my abdomen. I will be forever grateful to him.
