If you are looking for a plastic surgeon and team that is exponentially above the rest, Dr. Berman and every single person of his team is it! This is a kind, enjoyable, incredibly brilliant, and unbelievably no nonsense efficient team. I am a retired ICU nurse and needed a blepharoplasty for excess skin above and below my eyes. I called 9 different physicians in the states of MD, VA, FL, and DC. I chose to meet 4 of those doctors. Once we met Dr. Berman, my decision was made. Not only is he an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon, but he’s a plastic surgeon. He has spent years combining his expertise in both to fine tune his procedues, and yes, he does do things differently than any other doctor I personally met with.
When I met with Dr. Berman, first things I picked up on: 1. He’s structured and no nonsense = huge plus! He knows what he’s doing and has rules and structure for your happy outcome and excellent end results. 2. He listens. He listened to what I was interested in and I loved that he was able to share his expert opinions and suggestions. He wasn’t there to simply say, ‘great, that’s what you want, let’s do it”, he was there to really look at me and my personal situation. He offered me hands on personal suggestions appropriate for my situation and age appropriate outcomes. I really felt I was being listened to and trusted his judgement and years of expertise. Once again, I loved that he was happy to answer each and every one of my questions, many times, AND was very honest about his ways and procedures. 3. He simply brilliant! As a nurse, he was more than happy to answer all of my medical and procedural questions (I had many) and the history on why he does things the way he does. He’s simply skilled, experienced, meticulous, and very personable. I actually learned a lot from him and happy I know the answers to anything I needed an answer for, even post procedure and recovery. 4. He trusts his team and works with them, you can see that simply sitting in his office. They communicate, they work together, they support one another. Leading up to my procedure, they were on top of every detail from my pre-op doctor appointments and communications, my pre-op medications, my travel, scheduling… you name it, they were on top of it. I just needed to do what was asked/told and show up. Even helped me set up doctor appointments in a different state!
Lastly, pre and post procedue follow ups were amazing and HE and his team were on call at any time if I needed them. Texted any questions, and I had no concerns, but it was nice to know that they were there if I did. I was able to meet with his esthetician post procedure, as I had asked before surgery, and of course they set that appointment up for me while I was at one of my follow up appointments, yep, she’s right there in his office.
Looking for a plastic surgeon/ aesthetician, this is the place.
