I have had different procedures performed by different surgeons and this was the best experience that I have ever had. From the knowledgeable office staff to the comforting and amazing staff at Boulevard Surgicenter, the process was made easy and stress-free. I would recommend Dr. Berger to anyone.

Gosh, where do I begin. I cannot tell you how pleased I was with Dr Berger's skill and care. He and his professional staff are an excellent example of what health care should look like. I was considering a breast reduction procedure: I am 5'1'' 135 lbs and wore 34G bras. Ridiculous right? I also had an old, keloid vertical appendectomy scar that needed revision or removal, I suspected a 'tummy tuck' would be the procedure of choice. From the very first day I felt that I had come to the right place. The office staff was proficient with appointment scheduling and insurance billing, everyone contributes to a seamless efficiency. The attentive and friendly back office staff helped ease that awkward feeling one gets when going to a physician for the first time: it requires a fair amount of courage to have your breasts evaluated and examined by a plastic surgeon you have never met before. Dr Berger's relaxed manner allowed me to feel comfortable and to take my time asking the questions that I needed to ask in order to make an informed decision. I had both surgeries and couldn't be happier with the results: I wish I had done it sooner. I am able to go through the summer now without a contiuous painful heat rash under both breasts: everyone kept asking if I had lost weight ( big breasts make you look so much heavier). Because I have been a hospital-based nurse for 35 years I know what surgical behaviors can predict good outcomes; being competent with the latest techniques, state of the art equipment and compassion are all essential. Dr Berger gets a A+ on all these measures. There is no substitution for competence and caring. I felt lucky to have been referred to him. Confidence in Dr Berger allowed me to take one more step and try botox. Again, I should have done that sooner as well. I no longer have those deep worry lines between my eyebrows. Folks were always asking me if I was annoyed with them because I looked like I was frowning all the time. Big improvement!! Thanks again Dr Berger for everything!!!

Dr. Berger MD is an outstanding surgeon, plus he is very kind, including all of his staff at his practice provide excellent patient care. I am a Registered Nurse and the results of my surgeries have been extremely postive from other five other Surgeon's I had a tummy tuck and breast lift and augmentation can be described as excellent results. Dr. Berger's work is described as the following: "Wow, let me see the rest of you" "your areolas are perfect" "the tummy looks good" the size and alignment of my breasts are described "he knows what he is doing" "Who did your Boobs not anyone around here?" "He picked the perfect size" I live on the Central Coast and drove down to his practice, but it was well worth the drive, I have only reviewed positve comments regarding my augmentation from other trained surgeons and someone who even sold breast implants. " Your doctor knows what he was doing" "No soft tissue damage at all" "Wow" let me see the other one" People usually want to see, feel and look carefully at his work like the nipples and the surrounding tissue" each and every time I am asked the following: "Who did your boobs and the tummy is invisible" from trained professionals. " I have been lifting my shirt very often".As for my immediate friends and family I have received positive feedback, and shopping for new Bras and Panties is fun, not embarrassing anymore. I no longer have an abdominal panus and my breasts are ideal, I would highly recommend Dr. Berger as an excellent plastic surgeon. I keep telling him he needs to open a practice on the Central Coast".Dr. Berger rates with five *****stars and five apples***** plus he is nice guy.! The before and after pictures from other patients are outstanding. I am very pleased with Dr. Berger's skills as a plastic surgeon. Respectfully, Ms. Deann Gutierrez, RN
