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.
Good job
Great patient care
Knowledgeable, Professional, and Easy to Talk with
