When I was placed in the hands of this man after years of Type one Diabetes I was givin a new life. This man is more than knowledgeable he also takes a true role in your life as a guide a friend and a brother. My Diabetes is what they call challenging. I am a always changing the way my diesese is displayed. I am grateful knowing I have the best there is in care and will never change my doctor as long as he is still Practicing. I have had to make insurance changes since I have Medicare and won't give in to a cheaper plan if he isn't on it. I may be forced to pay a little more but if one day I do i won't blink a eye. Great service and care doesn't have a price. Thank you Dr. For everything!

Dr. Bergstrom is personable and professional, and excellent doctor that stays abreast of current information in his field. He "listens" and is concerned and compassionate.

On my first and only appointment with this doctor, they made me wait 45 min. Once he came in he could care less about what i was saying and just kept asking about my family history instead of listening to what i was saying about my own situation. Charge me $330 to just send me to do labs and sent me a letter with results sending me back to my primary doctor. I obviously went there because he was suppose to be an specialist, if i just wanted labs i could have done that with my pcp. He was rude with some of his answers to my comments and to be honest he was not any help at all. I would not recommend this doctor to not even my worst enemy. Horrible horrible experience.

Dr. Bergstrom is as about as smart as they come; and a good guy as well! I would be on his door-step if you have Type II or Type I diabetes.
