Richard Berkson's Online Review Report Card Is this you? Claim your profile

After moving from the bay area I've been in desperate need to continue with a new endocrine team and I finally have that now. I've seen the same endocrinologist for more than 15 years in the San Jose Bay Area. With Hashimoto's disease and type one diabetes with some complications throughout my life it's been very difficult to find a specialist that just gets it that knows their job and who is damn good at it I feel super blessed to finally find that in Dr Yasaman Mohtasebi! I look forward to getting my levels back on track and because I know she knows her stuff I know this will happen, she was very clear and forthcoming about my medications and her plan for my well-being I felt very cared for I felt heard and I haven't even been able to fill that with my primary care so I'm super super grateful again for that not to mention the staff there were so helpful they help me complete my paperwork as I am also visually impaired . They were very informative kind and courteous. From the looks of the outside of the clinic you would never know unless you came what a wonderful team they have I guess it shows you can never look on the outside of a place to know what really is happening inside super super grateful

Have you ever said: "My doctor's appointment policy is that I don't ever have to make an appointment. He's never busy." OR "My doctor's waiting room has plenty of chairs It's always quiet and empty." Dude!!! You're seeing a doctor that NOBODY WANTS TO SEE!!! Not the case with Dr. Yasaman Mothtasebi and the the rest of The Endogrology Team in Long Beach. These guys are busy! There is only one reason for that. THEY ARE GOOD. What is wrong with all you self-centered little whining b*tch**s that you think you're too good to be put on hold?! What do you think the office staff is doing while you are waiting for them?! Having High Tea with the Queen? Yes, they'll cut you short when you start blabbering. Yes, they're a little edgy but if you weren't such an uptight Orange County Republican you'd realize the support staff are caring and real and funny (a real added bonus!) I'm not lying. And yes, they can be a little cocky on the phone but it is only out of a true sense of pride that this is one of the best - possibly THE BEST endocrinology teams in the world. I live in Hollywood so it's more than a little jog to get to them in Long Beach. Sylvia, the office Manager who made my 1st appointment chuckled proudly (and yes, a little cocky), " We have people from all over the world who plan their sunny SoCal vacations around their appointment with us." FYI: She's my new bff! Really!

Dr. Berkson is a great doctor! I went to see him for PCOS, despite being worried after reading some of the other reviews here. Yes, his office is not in the greatest part of town and is definitely nothing to look at, and yes, parking is a challenge and the wait time can be long. However, Dr. Berkson is worth the wait! When I initially met him, he spent almost an hour talking to me and getting to know my needs and the state of my health. He was kind, thorough and extremely professional. It was refreshing to have a doctor take the time to listen and actually care about my concerns and my health. If the quality of medical care is more important to you than the aesthetics of a building, then give Dr. Berkson a visit. You'll be glad you did.

The best doctor I have ever met in my entire life... Very passionate with his profession. His dedications inspired me to return the kindness he had provided to his patients like me... He opened my eyes to healthcare system. I probably won't be alive now caring for other people if not for this very dedicated doctor. It was such a journey being sick at a very young age and yet he took an excellent care of my health throughout. For this Thanksgiving holiday coming up again, I would like to honor him and Thank Dr. Richard Berkson for being a SuperHero in this world in his own special way. When kindness and intelligence are embraced by one doctor-- that person makes "THE BEST DOCTOR." I know you have touched many lives, but I'd like to Thank God that I was one of them. I will forever be thankful. God Bless you, your staff, and your beautiful family. Happy 2017 Holidays :)

Laketly i've noticed the change in staff at the office has created a much nicer atmosphere. The staff is always smiling and make me feel at home. I sometimes don't feel well when I walk in, but I always leave with a smile on my face. I have seen Dr. Berkson and/or his associates and all are top notch doctors. Even if the area isn't the best and despite the longer wait time in the lobby, it is worth that amount of time I get with the physician and the great advice. Don't let the office decor put you off, this is the best medicine you can find.

The doctors here are the best. This is my third time having gestational diabetes and care here was too notch. The doctors always followed up on me even after I delivered my baby. The nurses and staff are just as caring. I highly recommend this office to anyone dealing with diabetes for the best care around.

Dr. Berkson has been ndocrinologist of the year in whole West USA for many years in a row! The "Endocrinology Team" actually consist of Dr. Berkson and Dr. Mac, Dr. Mac is very young but also a great endocrinologist and if he has a question there is always Dr. Berskson to consult. Dr Berkson was the Director of the American College of Endocrinology for many years and he is also Associate Clinical Professor UCLA School of Medicine. Doctor Berkson and Doctor Mac are both thorough, informed, upfront, honest and a nice sense of humor. Staff is great and super personable and patient. Every lab test ordered has helped in solving my problem with more scheduled as follow ups. Only but is their office isn't much on the inside, its a dump and it's in the hood. Its worth it to go see them though :-)

As Dr. Berkson reminded me last week, I've been seeing him for a decade. I'm a type 2 diabetic with, it seems, other problems. He quickly refers me to other docs in Long Beach. I'm probably one of the few type 2's (for close to 20 years) who has not been put on any meds for the condition, controlling the beast with diet and exercise all because of his forbearance in the deploying of meds. Long wait? He's not on the clock, so he spends a lot of time with each patient. A great guy, and a great doc.

Wonderful doctor. He takes his time with each patient so you don't feel like you are rushed through your appointment. Unfortunately, this also means long wait times in the waiting room. I also like how he is not all gung ho on surgery and all kinds of meds. He has a wait and see approach and lets your body heal itself. My last doctor was trying to force me to go through radioactive iodine, but Dr. Berkson let me wait it out on minimum meds. After a couple of months, I went into remission and I've been in remission for almost two years now. Thank God I didn't listen to my last doctor.

Excellent Endocrinologist! Fellow of the American College of Endocrinology, Associate Clinical Professor UCLA School of Medicine. WOOT my college! Thorough, informed, upfront, honest and a nice sense of humor. Every lab test ordered has helped in solving my problem with more scheduled as follow ups on Monday for a return visit on the 2nd of November. Staff is great and super personable and patient. His office isn't much on the inside, the waiting room looks like I'm waiting to be booked at Twin Towers (wreckage of my past) and it's in the hood. Smart, save money on rent, as to enjoy what little free time he might get and pay those horrific Malpractice Insurance Policies. He has excellent MDS as part of their residency in his office and boy are they sharp thanks to him. Going through the change is such a bitch, just like me during this process! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekoH1Et2Vls
