Dr. William Ellis Berg, MD

I was seen for possible migraines (accompanied by teeth pain), I asked him directly "Could these be cause by a tooth infection?" He said "No, absolutely not." - AFTER a clear MRI. He suggested I had "tension headaches"...even after I told him heat/warmth was now instigating them and the ONLY remedy was ice. He told me to put HEAT on my neck. I said, "but I just told you how heat, even a warm bath, instigates these. His response? "Well, I don't know about that." I saw a dentist that day because my pain was so extreme - I had an abscessed tooth, but the pain wasn't localized to just one tooth because of it's location and the severity of infection. He had ordered an MRI for the migraines and a neck scan for the "tension headaches". The neck scan showed a growth on my THYROID and he NEVER TOLD ME. I found out two months later...at the cardiologist's office went I went in for rapid heart rates and difficulty breathing (now I know caused by thyroid and pituitary issue). He did… mention an enlarged pituitary gland, but said it was "fine". I asked him what would possible symptoms be if the pituitary became "not fine". He said if I noticed symptoms like spontaneous "lactating" (never had kids). He never mentioned more normal/possible symptoms like low thyroid levels (which I found out again through cardiologist), he never mentioned the thyroid growth. NEVER THOUGHT these two things might be causing a problem, never asked if I had other symptoms. If I hadn't taken myself to a dentist and listened to this quack, I might be dead or in the hospital with a serious infection. Tooth infections can go to your heart and brain. And now I had to go to cardiologist to find out that the thyroid growth and pituitary are infect affecting my health and were causing symptoms at that time that I was just ignoring. If he had looked into the matter, I wouldn't have had to go through a heart monitor, thinking I was having a heart attack, etc because the issue allowed to escalate.

Dr. Berg diagnosed me with neuropathy in both my hands and feet. My feet are much worse, but his treatment was elbow pads! How ludicrous !
