    Dr. Bertha was very efficient and although it was my first time visiting him, that's why I say he didn't know my history, but he might have looked through my chart and saw that. So I'll take that back, that one back. But he was very informative, took time to listen to me and to address all my concerns. I really enjoyed being there.

    Yes, coming in, the people at the desk were wonderful. They took their time with me. And when I got back to see Dr. Bertha, he had the best bedside manner and explained it to me in black and white terms that I could understand. I think he's a wonderful doctor and I would definitely recommend him.

    Dr Bertha and the staff listened to my concerns and involved me with the decisions. We talked about all options because surgery was the last thing I wanted to do. He said we could try P/T and if I feel it's working than that's hiw we will proceed. And had me return in a month and that's when we decided it would be best to have the surgery. We talked about what would be done beforehand and went over the morning of surgery.
