Blake Berman's Online Review Report Card

Dr Berman skill has returned me to an almost normal life when I was facing paralysis

Dr. Berman did my lumbar surgery. Prior to my surgery I could not walk without assistance, I couldn't drive, I was unable to do minor daily tasks. The pain was horrible, debilitating. I had my surgery, I can walk without assistance, I am driving, I no longer have pain. As I am typing this tears are flowing,tears of joy. I have my life back. Dr. Berman went through all the details of what would be done during the surgery, he has the best bedside manners and truly cares about his patients. Other doctors said to me do not do the surgery it will not help. When I seen Dr. Berman he went through my MRI and explained in detail what was happening. When he performed the surgery and went in he could not believe what he saw, everything from my right side was pushed over to my left. I had a Lumbar fusion on L4-5 a long with a laminectomy. I am so happy with the results. I am forever grateful to Dr. Berman.

I knew as soon as he walked in the room I'd found the doc that would fix me! He did an 2 day ,18 hr., surgery to clean up the previous surgery and a clamped spine! He's really one of doc I care to say he's one of the best! I really know he still cares for his patients! Thank you Dr Bermen! You Rock!

I L<3VE L<3VE Dr. Berman !!! He is an amazing, kind, and passionate Dr. He is also present and composed at ALL times. I had level 7-9 constant daily pain for a year and a half. Dr. Berman is GOD SENT. His expertise produced MRI, CT Scan, Nerve Conduction Test, Acupuncture and Surgery in 6 months flat, in spite of COVID 19 Pandemic. Dr. Berman gained my trust with his uncanny realness and depth of character. Thank you Dr. Berman God Bless You. My procedure was L4 L5 ALIF Posterior Decompression and Stabilization Laminectomy

Dr. Berman told me that I needed to have lumbar fusion on L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1. He performed the surgery and it took 6 hours. Following the surgery which looked great on an XRay, I began to have major problems with my nerves on the left side. I have lost most of the feeling in my right foot, most of my leg, balance is extremely bad and dizziness mixed with the loss of balance has caused me to fall many times, even using a cane. Also, Sciatica is bad. None of these I had prior to his surgery. I had terrible pain my lower back but no problems with my legs or balance or neuropathy, except for some minor peripheral neuropathy. This surgery instead of improving my life and taking me off opioids did exactly the opposite and has made my life 100% worse. Dr. Berman left Palm Springs and yet he had promised me to take care of everything. I don't believe he feels any remorse or responsibility.

Dr. Berman is awesome, very attentive and professional. He put me at ease about the decision to have the surgical procedure. I am very satisfied with his care.

My husband had back surgery and this Doctor is the best in all areas. But he was so kind and respectfully and made time to speak to us clearly as to what was going on. Most Doctors come in and out but he took the time he showed us he really cared. And when you go though major back surgery its so hard you need someone who takes the time to care. We will forever be grateful and we pray GODs blessing on this man and his family.
