Sep 11, 2021
I have been under the care of Dr. Berkelhammer for nearly 30 years. He has been thorough and persistent with treating all of my health issues. Expect to wait... this is a given. Do not take this as a negative but a positive. The delays are due to his thoroughness! I highly recommend Dr. Berkelhammer.
