While Dr Berman was gentle, personable and thoroughly medically competant, his partner Dr Ford, who was on call to treat my daughter's post operative abcess and infection was THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. His treatment was brusk and my daughter felt man handled.
The billing staff within his office went to extreme measures to make some sort of point of principle with my insurance company to hopefully SECURE LESS MONEY IN TOTAL for the procedure in the sum due from me and my ins co. I cannot imagine why his biller is putting extraordinary efforts into securing less money for the services rendered, but she is. my out of pocket liability will be only $20 more or less either way, but his office person is so fixated, that she is lobbying to secure less money under the contract rate from my ins co.
I felt very badly for Dr Berman who was gentle, sweet and perfectly competant to be affiliated with such an upside down practice. Hopefully when my son needs a similar procedure, he will be practicing elsewhere.
