Richard Berkson, MD's Online Review Report Card

I have been calling this office for a week trying to get an appointment. No one ever answers this is the worst officeI'm calling my hmotoget another doctor.

Dr Viswanathan is a good doctor

Well...I do agree with the phone system and getting help is not always available as many of the reviews say. However, I have a 34 year old son who Dr Bererkson (from day one) spoke very highly of and kept telling him that he sees potential in him. My son never forgot that and his self esteem sky rocketed with major health issues. He also gave my son personal attention and excellent medical advice While under his care. All appointments went well besides needing to reach back out to the office at other times. Their system of leaving a message and we will get back with you is unacceptable. However I do give 5 stars for Dr Bererkson only indeed!!! I personally enjoyed his company/conversations a few times I went along with my son. That along deserves 5 stars in my opinion. When we all leave this world it’s really about how we made others FEEL is how we will be remembered. THANK YOU Dr Bererkson and God bless.❤️

Dr. Berkson is a wonderful "old school " doctor. He takes time with his patients and clearly goes over their treatment plan/progress. Too bad the younger providers today are not like Dr. Berkson..

The dr from India I believe had zero compassion for my 30 year long stint with depression she mocked my depression and me and what kind of a person she thought I was a week ago, I don’t know which medical school she went to , I was told not to go to dr mohtasabi and that dr v was a nicer doctor, totally false I am sure , maybe the fact that she put me on max jenuvia 100 mg , is max metformin 2000 and 50 of bassinglar will be changed it has made me sick, it’s too much my diabetes was not critical to warrant that much drugs a day. It doesn’t surprise me that the doctor got a 2.7 feedback out of 5 stars, that’s miserable rating.

I was a patient of Dr. Clark in Dr. Berkson&#39;s office. He left the practice and switched me over to Dr. Mohtasebi. I will not be seeing Dr. Mohtasebi again. The telehealth appointment with her was so bad that I told her she would not be my doctor moving forward. That didn&#39;t go well, either, so I had to actually tell her, &#34;I&#39;m getting off the phone with you now.&#34; And then I ended the video call.<br>I&#39;m a person, not just a collection of lab results. I&#39;ve been dealing with thyroid issues and endocrinologists for over 20 years. I stayed on the Telehealth call with this doctor too long. I should have ended the Telehealth call before I lost my temper, but I didn&#39;t. I gave her a piece of my wellinformed mind because my quality of life *right now* matters; and I deserve to have a doctor who believes that my life is worth living well and who will find creative solutions to make that happen. Dr. Mohtasebi is not that doctor.

Great doctor

Very professional, courteous and timely staff. My experience has been good. I look forward to be a long term patient. Dr. Yasman Mohtasebi is the best endocrinologist that I have ever had.

After moving from the bay area I&#39;ve been in desperate need to continue with a new endocrine team and I finally have that now. I&#39;ve seen the same endocrinologist for more than 15 years in the San Jose Bay Area. With Hashimoto&#39;s disease and type one diabetes with some complications throughout my life it&#39;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 wellbeing I felt very cared for I felt heard and I haven&#39;t even been able to fill that with my primary care so I&#39;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

Hmm... I&#39;m trying to decide the best way to write this without being unhelpful.<br><br>Positives:<br><br>Visiting the office has always been great. Everyone is incredibly helpful and kind. I personally have been going there for 3 or years and haven&#39;t had issues with waiting more than 1015 minutes when I&#39;ve gone.<br><br>My doctor is Viswanathan. I like her a lot because although she&#39;s firm, it&#39;s because she really cares and wants the best for her patients and isn&#39;t afraid to shake up treatment methods to do so. I feel the sentiment is the same for the other doctors there as well.<br><br>Negatives: <br><br>Phones. <br>While it&#39;s a VERY busy office, it is almost impossible to reach someone or get a call back the same day of leaving a message, which can be super frustrating for anyone living with a chronic condition and pressing matter. <br><br>I go to other offices that use a callback method, but the difference is that they get back to you within the hour of your call... not a day, days, or never. I wish they d change their practices, because  while the office is great overall, important things have fallen through the cracks at times and u wasn&#39;t able to reach someone there.<br><br>So they&#39;re great, but going to this office requires lots of planning and oversight on the patient&#39;s part.

Dr Viswanathan is a good doctor

The phone rings forever, in the week that  I called several times daily, NOONE EVER ANSWERED THE PHONE, NOT EVEN ONCE! Now, I can understand a short staffed office, being on vacation etc BUT the message states that ALL CALLS WILL BE RETURNED WITHIN ONE BUSINESS DAY..... three messages left, four days gone by and not a single returned call. Perhaps Dr Berkson has no idea how neglectful his staff is being to current and prospective patients. I&#39;m glad I found out before it was too late. I have never encountered such an unprofessional Doctors office....DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!
