Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I got Dr. Bertram as an ER surgeon after complications from a surgery about surgeon there did. Dr Bertram admitted me to the hospital and monitored my condition. I don't 2 over nights there. Saw him 5am Friday morning and told me he'd check back around lunch time. He ended up in surgery and left by 4 without seeing any of his patients. Didn't answer the phone when on call. Nurses send afraid of him. Next day talked to me about discharge. And left without signing my paperwork. I left AMA

About Me

care philosophy

I believe that a patient should always understand the medical care they are receiving. I spend time with the patient until there are no unanswered questions regarding their care.
