Reviews
everybody from Dr.Berger to staff are so accomodating and wonderful.Questions answered,always there for you
it is the great people in Dr. Berger's office that make the difference.
I went through double jaw surgery, bilateral jaw joint replacement and genioplasty for a severe overbite. Dr. Berger and his staff are truly talented. I am so grateful that I can breathe better and chew on both sides. I am so happy I went through with this surgery. I have all of the feeling in my face and my nerves have completely healed. My quality of life has improved dramatically. The surgery also improved my side profile and appearance.
excellent dental work, will recommend his work to my friends, Office staff also very helpful.
Coming into Dr Berger's office to get a complete facial rebuild including prosthetic jaw joint, 6 separate bone grafts, cutting and relocating mandible , removing previous plates and screws, 20 tooth implants, cosmetic relocating of my ear post jaw implant and more that I cant recall.......
The road getting to Dr Berger's was treacherous. Once finally here I felt home, I had landed where I needed to be,
completely comfortable and confident. Simply , in the hands of the very BEST !
I have very high and exacting standards and was amazed and astonished when Dr. Berger not only met them, but exceeded them. He cares, take all the needed time and most importantly, explains everything he will doing which to me, is extremely important. I am not one to write reviews, but when someone can provide great care to others, the word needs to get out. Thanks for reading. Stan Eyler
I had a surgery that was pretty profound. 5 of my upper teeth including one in the front were gone due to pulling or accident. I was confidant i chose the right man for the job. Dr. Berger is very good at everything even the very tiniest detail. Surgery was a breeze plus he placed a gum graph from my mouth to the front, making it look so fabulous in my mouth. I did not have any pain-ever. 3 cheers for Dr. Berger! i feel fantastic!
thanks you DR for making me feel calm and comfortable answering any questions i had. you saved me ! thx
He did surgery on my eye to correct a previous surgery done in Nashville TN due to an auto accident. Very good experience. Enjoyed his professionalism tremendously.
I have had a great experience with dr. Berger starting from the first visit, through three surgeries and all the follow up visits. I would definetely recommend dr. Berger.
Comprehensive exam. Discussed all treatment options. Good listener,
