“This was my first visit with Dr. Beger and I can honestly say it was excellent! Having R.A. can be debilitating, the pain is real. Dr. Beger has excellent listening skills, which I greatly appreciated, and he responded to my concerns so gracefully. Dr. Beger was kind, gentle with my concerns and very considerate. Excellent bedside manners, very professional and most important, he is very knowledgeable and wise with the autoimmune condition, R.A.; and that is what I was seeking in a Rheumatologist. He didnt just flipped his prescription pad, instead, he's studying my issues with R.A. to offer the best treatment for me. That is what I hoped for going to this appointment. I felt respected and regarded. I will highly recommend Dr. Beger for R.A. patients. ”

Very knowledgeable, professional and kind

My first visit with him, when i had my husband with me, was very good. He spent well over an hour with me going over everything in great detail. He said he would run tests and in a few weeks we would meet again to formulate a treatment plan. He even discussed with me which medications he would most likely be prescribing to me. When i went for my followup it was like meeting an entirely different person. Maybe it was because i was alone, but i was told that i needed to “suck it up”. Wait until i got much much worse and then i could be treated. So much for early, aggressive treatment.
Verified patient
This was my first visit. The doctor was on time very professional and honest. He is also an internist but does not do primary care. That was disappointing but so far so good. He's nice seems caring.
Verified patient
The doctor was professional and pleasant. He was thorough in his assessment and recommended a variety treatment options both medical and holistic life style changes.
Verified patient
In a day in age when doctor consultations consist of a few online forms and a five minute in-person perfunctory visit, Dr. Beger is a breath of fresh air. He took the time to discuss all my symptoms and was insightful in his diagnosis. The perfect combination of expertise and beside manner!
