Very fast. Professional. Curt
Waste of my time. Didn't even bother checking exactly where I my pain was at. Just referred me to see another doctor. Wasted 45 min drive. Left with the same pain ,no answers and frustrated. Will be looking for a different route. 2nd time I get dismissed like this. Won't return to see him. After my surgery still in pain ,can hardly sleep. Surgery was over a year ago.
1st time meeting Dr. Bercik.....Very nice and down to earth...
He was very nice to me. I’m glad I came in to see him
Dr. Bercik is skilled, professional, and attentive to the patient’s needs. Ample time is allowed for questions and information is provided in a way that can be understood.
Focused and responsive to all my concerns.
Would use him again if I had to have another shoulder surgery! But praying I will never have to lol ! Very genuine man:)
Dr. Bercik is kind and very concerned about my issues. Dr. Bercik is very compassionate and listens to me. He gave me ways to eleviate my pain issues. I would recommend him.
It seems odd that a series of x-rays would be ordered before even meeting the doctor. I would think that some rudimentary exam to discussion would be needed in order to decide whether to look for bone (xray) or soft tissue (MRI) damage. I guess the xray charges help cover overhead costs. A tried and true truism which I ignored applies: if a professional or tradesman isn't booked up a few weeks out, there's probably a very good reason.
Personable, informative, competent, explains current medical issues, clinical findings, and options for treatment.
