She is very disorganized and front desk staff is very rude. Nothing is computerized so getting labs results take forever.

Verified patient
Had my first checkup and consultation with Dr. Joan earlier and I have nothing but praises. She's so professional, calm, gentle, and kind. I have to come back next week to discuss the results and do another test and looking forward to it with confidence. I'm so grateful to have found her through this app. The staff were also really nice and helpful. It definitely makes a difference. Thanks Dr. Berman and Team!

I thought she was great.

Thorough and professional
I felt a bit rushed. The office made a mistake with my booking and it seems that they were expecting me 2 days later while my zocdoc confirmation email was for today. That may have been the reason I was rushed and wasn't able to say all I needed to say or ask (I had a lot of questions). The offiice is very clean, the doctor was gentle, I just wish she'd explained things with more details....
I loved my visit! I was seen immediately. There was no waiting time at all! Dr. Berman took her time and addressed all of my concerns. At no point did I feel rushed or dismissed. I felt so at ease during the exam and will definitely be coming back!
Verified patient
This was my second visit to Dr. Berman and I will definitely be back. I've searched awhile for a doctor that I trust and am glad to have found her. The office staff is friendly and efficient. And the office is right off the 6 train.
Verified patient
Very attentive doctor.
Verified patient
Dr. Joan Berman was kind and professional if not over an hour long wait. The office was not overcrowded, there was one person ahead of me that was taken at my appointment time. I paid my visit without insurance, so I found the waiting time is irritating for cash visit. Otherwise, once in the room, the visit went smooth, quick and efficient.
Verified patient
Dr. Berman was very approachable and so sweet. I'm a younger patient and get very anxious when going to gyncelogists. She made me feel so comfortable and answered all my questions fully. I highly recommend her! Best gynecologist I've had.
Really nice, really helpful
Dr. Berman has been a tremendous help to me in overcoming the physical (including sexual) consequences of breast cancer and menopause. She is kind, practical, and easy to talk to. I am very grateful to her.
Great staff and Dr. Berman was just wonderful.
Dr. Berman is a sweetheart. Very knowledgable, very attentive. Her staff was sweet too. I had about a 30 min wait, she apologized and explained she had an Emergency earlier in the am which pushed everything back. (understandable) and once I was in her office and the exam room, it went very quickly, but I was not rushed. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
The doctor was very sweet but she was a little spacey and hard of hearing. We finished our visit. In the waiting room I remembered something else that we might want to test for. The doctor waived me away. It was a tough situation, but I believe if we needed more time to explore something, she might have suggested to book another visit or do the test there because we had missed something. I also asked my results to be faxed and I had to call them twice in order to get this done, even though I had asked for this at the time of the visit. On the upside, the doctor was patient and informed about the insurance process, i.e. what might be covered and what might not. It was a relief to work with someone savvy about this process. The nurse was efficient and knowledgeable in this area. There were also lots of "creature comforts" at the "classy" office. There was water in the waiting room. She had a comfortable bolster pillow in the room. She uses real cotton gowns (not the plasticy disposable ones.) She uses real, reusable, sterilized tools. I like this environmentally friendly option.
I really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Berman. She was gentle and really took the time to get to know me. However, I wish the office was more organized. I have no idea how the appointment system was working...
Verified patient
great i got the treatment i was looking for .
It was great.
Dr Berman, and everyone who worked there, was incredibly kind, informative and supportive. I arrived twenty minutes before my appt to fill out paperwork, as recommended in the voicemail they left me. I was seen straight after I filled everything out. Dr Berman was very gentle and kind and thorough. All the staff were friendly, prompt and professional. I highly recommend!

She is the best!
Verified patient
First time with Dr. Berman, the office was inviting and comfortable. I didn't wait too long even though they were busy. She was very personable and professional.
Dr. Berman put me at ease
SUCH an amazing experience. She was friendly, patient and did a great job explaining everything. It had been years since I'd been to the doctor, and she calmed my nerves and kept me informed. I am so happy with my experience
My zocdoc appt did not register in their system but they literally made time for me anyway! They were EXTREMELY helpful and nice and Dr. Berman was very calming. She let me ask all of my questions and was just a very nice presence to be with. She made just the right amount of small talk. She gave very thoughtful answers to my questions instead of just answering robotically. Most importantly, everyone double checked that everything I needed would be covered by my insurance!
She seemed very brusque and rushed particularly when I was speaking to her in her office. She was a bit warmer during the actual examination, but I still did not feel comfortable.
Very thorough and warm. She doesn't do obstetrics, only gyn. As a woman in menopause I'm happy to have found someone familiar with and sensitive to the issues. She addressed many things my last doc didn't. Can't recommend her highly enough.
It was my first time with Dr. Berman and she was warm and informative. She worked me through the answers to my questions and seemed to be genuine.
Dr. Berman had a confusing bedside manner. She was really brusque and almost rude during the initial conversation we had where we talked about my health history. When we moved to the exam room, I think she could tell that I was upset from our initial conversation and she got much warmer and more attentative, but frankly it was too little too late. It seems like she's a good doctor who cares, I just didn't feel,as a new patient, that I could trust her and feel welcomed to her office. Front desk staff also seemed overwhelmed and while they apologized for how messy/busy they were, they also didn't make any effort to speed things along for me. All in all, pretty weird visit and I don't know if I'll be going back.
I was a first time patient there and Dr. Berman and all of the staff were warm and welcoming. She answered all my questions with attentiveness and enthusiasm.
This was my first appointment with Dr. Berman and she was lovely. She asked very thorough questions about me and my family history. She had my best interest as her top priority.
Dr. Berman was so kind and professional. She definitely has a wonderful demeanor with patients, and I would gladly continue to see her. I will definitely be recommending her to friends.
