Frank Berenson's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Berenson is an amazing physician! I have been seeing him for over a year. He is kind, calm, and very personable. I am so appreciative to be under his care.

This doctor has the absolute worst bedside manner and is very flippant. He might be good with curing adult migraines, but do not bring your child here. He examined our child and in no less than 2 minutes decided he was equipped with enough information to diagnose. We got a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th opinion and every other medical professional said they absolutely could not see what he was talking about or even understand where he would come up with such a diagnosis. It was also interesting to hear that every medical professional we talked to who was familiar with him said he has a poor reputation amongst other medical professionals. I don't use "every" as a way to exaggerate my point. His reputation speaks for itself and its a shame his practice continues to stay afloat simply because pediatric neurologists are far and few between. Go to CHOA instead. You'll save yourself a lot of unnecessary heartache and pain.

He is a great doctor, but sometimes I feel as though he doesn't fully listen to me or my daughter. Our last few appointments have felt rushed even though we were generally one of the first appointments of the day.

I've been seeing Dr. Berenson for many years. He has practically eliminated my migrains. They were debilitating to the degree that I never planned anything because there was a good chance that I would not be able to follow through. There are minimal if any wait times, and he is very genuine.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Berenson. He was prompt, took his time, and was very helpful. I am glad that I was not deterred by the negative reviews.

Dr. Berenson was very nice, attentive, and a good listener. He took his time to review my son's case history and to ask questions of both me and my son. He was very helpful, and I am glad I was not deterred by the few negative reviews. I definitely recommend him.

My son has been seeing Dr Berenson for several years now. Very caring Doctor and has been controlling my son's seizures very nicely.

Among the worst bedside manners I've ever experienced. Like a stereotype of an arrogant doctor. I couldn't even finish a sentence, he had no interest in listening to me. My symptoms are debilitating, but apparently not too interesting or novel for this person. Coming away from that appointment I told myself I'd never go to this practice again.

We saw a nurse practitioner at the practice because the wait to see a MD was very long. Berenson came in to give his opinion before we left. My child was on day 3 of a severe migraine. Berenson asked if he had missed school which of course he had; my child could barely open his eyes because of the intense pain. Berenson's advice was he had to go to school unless he was vomiting or had a fever. I was appalled and even angered by his advice which he repeated about three times. I wouldn't even acknowledge the advice. I suffer migraines and understand the debilitating pain. He must not know what a true migraine feels like. He seemed very arrogant and showed no empathy.

As someone who has struggled with migraines for now, 17 years, it is easy to want to give up. After going through many medications, treatments, even the newest “breakthrough migraine injections” with not much luck. He continues to encourage me, tell me there is so many more options and we’re not done yet. He is nothing short of kind, attentive, very intelligent and a great physician. I would recommend Dr. Frank Berenson to anyone.
