Saul R Berger, MD

My experience with Dr Berger was terrible.

I am so disappointed by the way I was treated by Dr Berger’s staff. They are absolutely the rudest people I have ever meet in a doctors office. They are extremely unprofessional and take up an attitude or raise their voices when I have asked a simple question. I have made several calls with no replies and when I call and leave a message I never get a call back. It is extremely disappointing and upsetting. They were so rude when I asked them to put a claim into the insurance telling me I could pay them in full and then my insurance could reimburse me later which I know would take forever and I probably would never get it back. They do not care about their patients and show little humanity. I would not recommend this office to anyone!

Don’t go to Dr. Berger. He has good reviews only prior to 2014. All reviews after 2014 I beleive that his staff put together. From the «nice» doctor he became a angry men who inconsiderate and don’t care about you or your business. He let his staff bark at you since they don’t know how talk to people. His staff is not trained and extremely rude. You never will reach the doctor if you have to. The staff never return your calls. Waiting time to see him after you make your an appointment is about a hour.

Although for years I thought he was great as was his staff, more recently his staff has suddenly become ultra snobs and completely change their pleasant tone of voice when speaking to me on the phone, never returned my calls, never responded to my doctor’s office calls and even the manager was involved and avoided us. A doctor’ staff is a representation of the doctor herself/​himself and the standard they uphold. Clearly the standard has fallen very low. Don’t look for any humankindness here.

My experience with Dr. Berger and his staff for my breast reduction surgery this past April has been nothing short of amazing. Dr. Berger and his staff did everything possible to make sure that I was comfortable, happy, and above all else INFORMED, which I really appreciated. With other consults I left still unsure of exactly what would happen, but Dr. Berger made sure to go through every step with me and made himself accessible throughout the entire process for any concerns that I had. He made a very obvious effort to make sure that I had realistic expectations and that I was a good fit for what he had in mind for me. Six months after my surgery my breasts are healing beautifully and exactly how he said they would. My back pain is complete gone and Dr. Berger really knocked it out of the park in sculpting a chest that fits my frame. This surgery was 100% life changing for me and I feel like I have the body that I always should have had. Stellar results and a stellar, attentive, and fun team at this office. I have one more follow up appointment, which will be a whopping 10 months after my surgery– it just goes to show how much Dr. Berger cares about his work and his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Berger, his knowledgeable and easy going assistant, Maryanne, his sweet receptionist, Sarah, his highly skilled nurses/​anesthesiologist, and the whole experience provided at New Age Aesthetics.

I absolutely loved Dr. Berger when I first met him, his staff are absolutely fantastic and he runs a great practice BUT if you are looking for reconstruction AFTER mastectomy this might not be the best choice for you. I think Dr. Berger is skilled when it comes to augmentation surgeries but what he told me my results would be and what they ended up being horrendous. I couldn’t believe what I had been left with and he told me «this would be my new normal» and that the giant dog eared flaps under my arms were a result of «obesity» and I would need to pay out of pocket as it would be considered cosmetic! I have since moved NC and met the most FANTASTIC surgeon who is skilled in a variety of procedures and we are fixing what has been done. For the first time since May of 2014 when I had my surgery I can finally say I am at peace and looking forward to looking somewhat normal. Again, I’m not saying he is not a skilled surgeon when it might come to breast augmentations as opposed to mastectomy reconstruction. So while I might recommend him from other procedures I would not in the case of a bilateral mastectomy.

I was referred to Dr. Berger by a close friend for Botox. After the first treatment, I saw how he really nailed it (I had been getting injections closer to home before) and how much better I looked. He is very gentle, fast, and makes everything so easy. Also, his prices are lower than I was paying anywhere. I will never go anywhere else for Botox, or any other injections for that matter! Also, I have since had cosmetic surgery by Dr. Berger too. My results are great. Dr. Berger, his staff, the office, and the surgery center are all phenomenal! Every detail is addressed, and the care and follow up were great.

Dr. Berger and his staff are dedicated and professional. I felt comfortable from my first consultation visit. Maryann, the office assistant is upbeat and goes out of her way to make you feel at ease. I had my procedure done one week ago and feel I am healing nicely. I probably won’t see all my results for another 2 – 3 months but so far I feel like it went well. I will give an update on my progress in a few weeks.
If I have to think of negative then it would be that you have to pay a $ 100 consultation fee. Although I should mention that once I had my consultation I didn’t mind paying as much since I felt this was the right doctor for me.

When people tell you that you look amazing in a swimsuit it’s always a nice thing. When people tell you that you look amazing in your swimsuit AFTER having had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery it means so much more. Dr. Berger completed my reconstructive surgery after a double mastectomy and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They look so natural that no one would ever know. Because I was so pleased with his talents, I also had the bags under my eyes removed (totally wonderful experience) and I’ve had a FX laser peel which I am thrilled with! Dr. Berger is approachable with questions and always takes the time to fully explain what the procedure involves.
His staff is patient and responsive (love MaryAnn) and the OR nurses are wonderful too and help you through any stress you might be experiencing. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Berger and this group!

We have known Dr. Berger since 2009 when we were interviewing plastic surgeons for our 18 year old daughter that needed a breast reduction. We met with other doctors too, However Dr. Berger made us feel confident in him and he owned his own surgery center (lower risk for infections than a hospital in my opinion)
Also much of his staff, & the Anesthesiologist had been with Dr. Berger for 12 years I believe! The procedure went just perfect. The results wonderful. Our daughter was so grateful & pleased with the results.
Since our family had a good experience I went ahead and had my upper & lower eyelids done a few years later. We would recommend Dr. Saul Berger again and we have again & again. A good friend just had a facelift and is so pleased. I get botox every few months just to look natural and the best I can look without anyone knowing !
Feel free to call and make an appointment for a free consultation… That’s how we met & couldn’t be happier, Thanks!

I recently had some cosmetic surgery to my face. Dr Berger’s office staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable both before and after surgery. In addition, the Boulevard Sergicenter is a more intimate setting for surgery than a hospital with a staff that makes you feel like the only patient there.
Overall it was a stress-​free experience and one I would recommend to anyone. Besides I look rejuvenated which is what I wanted. Can’t write a better review than that!

Dr Berger is a wonderful Dr. He is very particular about how things need to be done and as a patient I want a Dr who doesn’t let things slide. I had breast cancer and needed a double masectomy with reconstruction we went over all of my options and what would work best forI had to have expanders put in a fills every 3 – 4 weeks so I got to experience his entire staff and believe me when I say I looked forward to my visits Sarah in the front office is super sweet. Maryann his assistant is a hoot I could just speak with her all day long. Dr Berger is very kind, funny, thorough Doctor. Love love love him!

His staff never returned my phone calls. They never submitted the claim to my insurance provider. Now, after wasting over 2 weeks for a melanoma surgery date. I’ve concluded that his staff is irresponsible, and he’s negligent for not providing the care he promised.

If a physician’s job is to make you feel like crap, then Dr. Berger is the man for you. Not only did he tell me I walked okay so I could not be in too much pain but, also that I should just wait for my implants to burst before I removed them??? I have heard from several physicians that silicone leaking in your tissues is very bad, but Dr. Berger was so indifferent to my problem he could have cared less. Terribly arrogant and indifferent doctor. I would never recommend him to anyone. Maybe he feels only large reconstructions are worthy of him — who knows?

I could never repay Dr. Berger for what he has done for me. At 32 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided to do a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. Reconstruction was so important to me as a young woman. I wanted to feel confident in a bathing suit, I still wanted to wear sexy tops and dresses, and most of all I wanted to feel confident with my significant other. I am beyond happy with my results. I had heard how some women never feel the same after reconstruction, and I can say I feel even better. In fact, I love my new breasts over my original breasts. Breast cancer is such a sensitive subject for any woman going through it and Dr. Berger made me feel at ease. Dr. Berger’s bedside matter was outstanding, his office was clean and thorough, and his office staff was always a delight. Again, his work on my reconstruction is outstanding. I heard he was the best. Now I can assure you he is! Thank you for everything Dr. Berger!

100 stars!!! Any surgery can be extremely personal and emotional, but I’m pretty sure a mastectomy and breast reconstruction is pretty high up there… if we’re ranking them.
I just had my 2^nd surgery with Dr. Berger for my breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy and I couldn’t have been blessed with a better doctor or team. From day one he’s been fantastic, patient, kind, funny, thorough and I always left his office knowing I was in safe hands with this very delicate and personal experience. Everyone in that office handled us with such grace and often times humor. It made what I was going through all that much easier.
Oh, and the results are fantastic!!! Dr. Berger is a true artist and I’m so grateful to have been in his care.

Had laser under anesthesia and I literally look 20 years younger. I highly recommend.

I was told the procedure would be one price until I made the appointment. As the appointment got closer, I was told a different price but told not to worry, it would be adjusted. The procedure was for my child and we believed it may be a cancerous growth (it wasn’t– thank God) so I didn’t want to start over with another doctor. We did the procedure and paid the full amount immediately– a week later we got another bill for the «consultation» $ 250.00. I asked if that could at least be adjusted since we paid the full amount $ 1,400.00. BTW we’ve checked with other surgeons– if you choose to do the procedure, they waive the consultation fee. I wasn’t especially impressed with Dr. Berger either. We waited an hour both times we came back, and he spent 5 minutes with us. The time we came for consultation, we only waited 10 minutes…

I have been seeing TERESA CARDENAS, RN from this office for several years for botox, fillers and other such services. SHE IS AMAZING: professional, smart, articulate and caring. She does a wonderful job. Thanks!

I had my breast augmentation with Dr. Berger one year ago and I couldn’t be happier! He is always on time (never waited more than 10 minutes), professional and for me a big bonus was that he wanted pictures of what I envisioned my breasts looking like. That was a huge deal because I have had many friends go to doctors who all they talk about is CC size. To me that is useless since every girl has different anatomy, rib cage size, shoulers etc. When one girl gets 450 cc’s it will not look the same as if I get 450cc’s. I loved that I could trust that he needed to make me look like the pictures I gave him. I felt like we had a full understanding prior to surgery so I would not come out with any surprises. His staff and surgery center are amazing! The girls are all sweet, professional and caring! I could not say enough good things about his office. On a fantastic note my breasts feel and look completely natural. Surgery is surgery and there are never any guarantees but I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Berger! Ignore the fact that my user name is Jake N… I used my sons name to ensure privacy. :)
