Anna is a great dermatologist. She listens patiently and explains the problem in detail and gives us options to think about various treatments.

If you’re there for an in and out procedure with no time to spare, this is the place. If you’re looking for a more personal conversation about your skin issues let them know in advance. It seems their schedule is incredibly tight. I was there for a total of 15 minutes for a cystic draining and cortisone shot. That’s pretty darn fast, remarkable even but I did have another skin issue I would have like to talk more about and I didn’t get the chance to. Overall he is a skilled professional , just needs to slow it down a bit. Make it little more personable.

Just seemed very rushed. I'm sure partially because he's done this and knows what he is looking for, but I felt a little brushed off.

Dr. Berman was very professional and showed empathy towards what I was going through. I've visited several dermatologists, and he was a doctor who actually came in, looked carefully, and explained very thoroughly by himself without being rushed.

Very quick to make an examination of different moles and yearly examination for skin cancer. Also was very dismissive of my concerns regarding a rash and itch. He seemed rushed and unconcerned. The whole transaction made me feel like it was more of a factory churning patients, than a sympathetic doctor's office.
October 7, 2019Vincent A.Verified patient
Fine doctor however I wasn’t happy with my wait time. I’ve had two 9am appointments with he doctor and took 35-45 minutes to see the doctor.
July 3, 2019Nicole W.Verified patient
Not sure I actually saw Dr. Berman, it might have been someone under his supervision. The guy was really cool and helpful, but to be honest his manner of speaking made me slightly uncomfortable, like there was something terrible wrong with me. I feel that a doctor should be able to behave in such a way to make you feel like everything’s going to be okay. Anyways, it wasn’t that big of a deal and overall I would still recommend this office and this doctor.

Doctor was very good. Everybody at the clinic was very attentive and helpful. I would certainly recommend this doctor and the clinic.
August 15, 2016Yousuff H. M.Verified patient
Dr. Berman convienced me to do Juvuderm injection in the under eye area which caused permanent inflammation. When I came to him with this problem he said that it was not his fault it's just a coincidence. It' s very irresponsible for the doctor to not admit that he did something wrong and to refuse help.
July 21, 2016Marina K.Verified patient
Direct and to the point. Dr Berman had me diagnosed within a minute or two. He answered all of my questions and spent nearly 30 minutes with me.
May 5, 2016Initials hidden
VERY short visit, the doctor didn't spend more than 5 minutes with me
The doctor didn't take the time to listen to what I had and my history with it
Finally, during my appointment, the doctor told me that he would give 2 different types of cream. When I arrived to get my prescription, only one was there, and I had to call the office to ask for the second one. At that time, they told me that I should use only one type of cream for both uses, zero credibility
I will never come to this office again

October 15, 2015Jill T.Verified patient
Really bad doctor. spent about 2 minutes with me and didn't answer any of my questions. he took a phone call during my appointment. I had to wait for a really long time.

awesome !
July 16, 2015Yvonne R.Verified patient
Just as others have commented, Dr Berman is extremely brisk. You can look at it both ways, some may say that he's not attentive enough and isn't listening to what you have to say, but others may find him extremely efficient. I fall into the latter category so I would definitely come back again if I ever need to. I am extremely busy so I appreciate that he can diagnose my issues within 2 minutes and I'm out. The lady who was helping him out was extremely nice too.

He obviously didn't listen to his nurse that I briefed nor read about why I was there. He was very pushy, seemed to be annoyed and rush thru my visit, asap.

Dr. Bergman was cordial but I felt the visit was hurried and he was ready to perform Juvederm filler for my under eyes dark circles concern. I'm thankful that I decided not to do so...

Dr. Berman & staff were friendly, professional & thoughtful to my needs, questions and concerns.
I wish they'd have a payment plan option, so I would be better able to afford their services.
January 16, 2014Laura A.Verified patient
Seemed good and professional. I needed to see a specialist immediately and he had a slot available but he probably had other patients waiting causing some delay. But I was happy with his service, hopefully the follow ups would be better.
October 2, 2013Muhammad K.Verified patient
I had botox and am waiting for the results to show in the next few days. The office was clean and professional; the staff was courteous and friendly. The doctor was chatty and advised me on other cosmetic procedures that might be helpful, but did not push it on me.
December 20, 2013Dodge W.Verified patient
He literally spent about 60 seconds with me. Glanced at my acne, wrote a script, and left. I got zero instructions on how to use my medications, and wasn't given any time to ask questions.

More than 1 year agoGary H.Verified patient
He rushed me, and obviously did not take the time to listen to me outline my concerns. I think I spent about 45 minutes in his office - less than 10 were in his presence. He was okay, but I would definitely not recommend him to others.

January 11, 2013Freddy Sedrick D.Verified patient
It was great. It didn't feel awkward, I was well treated by the staff and by the Dr. The examination was quick and to the point. I felt like the Dr. was competent in his knowledge and he didn't waste my time. I was in and out of there in no time. I would highly recommend Dr. Berman for a skin consultation.

He was good, but didn't explain much. The staff was nice and attentive, but he didn't read anything about me prior to walking into the room. It showed.
