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 trust her with my life
Dr Berlin was my Dr for many years. I have a complicated health history and she always worked with me to get to the bottom of things. She was not afraid to order tests, even when she received grief from the insurance companies for doing so. I could always count on her to help me get through the tough times. She gave amazing referrals to specialists, when needed. I was very sad when she retired.

Absolutely the best doctor I've ever had. She worked with me through several different health issues, always listened, always cared and understood that I wanted to make the final decision in all health care items relating to myself. I would have stayed with her forever, but sadly she retired and I'm now looking for a doctor like her. Her staff was well trained, available to answer questions and always had my prescriptions called in right away. I will miss her and them.

She was great until she decided I was imagining my pain then my gynecologist discovered I had stage 4 uterine cancer and had to go through years of hell. Had Dr. Berlin believed me instead of refusing to see me it could have been caught early. Lesson is this... She pigeon holes people she can't diagnose and becomes blind. Lousy diagnostician and worse referrals. She almost cost me my life.

I was her patient for 10 years. I began having severe kidney pain and ammonia was exuding from my skin constantly. She gave me one liver test, said I was fine. She refused to treat me eventhough the issue got worse and she wouldn't even let me make an appointment, telling me to go the ER instead. Two years in agony later and it turned out I had bleeding tumors in my uterus, ovaries as well as adenomiosis and endometriosis. Dr Berlin treated me like a hypochondriac. SHE IS A INCOMPETENT.

Victim of Paula in Brighton , MI – Jul 12, 2018

Her poor diagnostic skills almost killed me. She disregarded my complaint of irregular heart beats saying it's common and I ended up having a heart attack because of her neglect. I mentioned my issue three times and she blew me off each time.

Family has been with her for about 15 years. She is the best Dr. we have ever had. Now that my children are grown and with families of their own, they wouldn't think of taking them any where else. We travel from Fenton all the way to Brighton to see her. Nothing is too far for good health care!!!
