Berger Yaniv Dr

I’ve been seeing Dr Berger for 3+ years now. Even after moving 30+ miles from his office I still keep him as my PCP. Dr Berger is the best. He knows his patients on a personal level and is extremely resourceful to keep your costs to a minimum. He most certainly takes the best care of his patients. I strongly recommend his expertise if he is available.

Never had an appointment where his wife didn’t call. She called while she was pregnant; she called when the kid started making noises that sounded like words… in the meantime… I don’t care about his personal life which clearly interferes with his professional life. I’m here because I’m sick. Not because I want to hear about your family. I’ve gone in 3x to this place in Quarry Lake. I hate it. Office is always over crowded. Waiting room is so small. Earliest available appointments are months in advance. Forget about being sick and needing help right away. My initial appointment was simply to get a referral for the allergy center – I legitimately have terrible allergies. In order to get a referral I have to be an «active member» in the system. To be an active member, I need to come in for an appointment. When leaving the room briefly for something, I glanced at my medical file and it said, «obesity, psychiatry, and allergies». Thanks Dr. Berger. Glad you take note on everything.
Interestingly, I had a softball accident (I’m not so obsese I can’t play softball) one summer and made the epic-​fail decision to slide into home. I ended up skinning my leg from above the knee down to my ankle. After a few weeks of pussing and bleeding, I knew it was infected. I went in for an appt and Dr. Berger adamantly said my wound was not infected, and I should be fine. He attempted to dress the wound and admittedly said that «dressing wounds were not his expertise.» I ended up with a poorly-​engineered gauze and tape contraption that was pulled off immediately after walking out. After telling me I was fine and his failed attempt at dressing the wound I find a few months later the several 100 dollar appointment that was submitted to insurance. It didn’t cost me a penny but I can’t believe insurance had to pay 100s of dollars for gauze and tape and an aloof «you’re fine». Furthermore, I waited a week or two because I genuinely thought Dr. Berger knew his shit… I was in so much pain that I went into a patient first. Sure enough, leg was infected and they gave me a work note to stay off my feet for 48 hours so the wound could heal (and krutches). Is it wrong that I feel Patient First actually cared more about me than my PCP (primary care physician)? Yes! And that is why I no longer go to Quarry Lake.
