Philip Berman's Online Review Report Card

WORST doctor I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this clinic and this doctor.They absolutely do NOT care about their patients. I know -- I used to be one.They prescribed medical testing equipment to me, sent me on my way, then completely abandoned me as a patient.I had questions about the prescription, so I called the office. There is no direct contact with any nurse or doctor -- all you can do is leave a message. That's fine. I left one. No call back. So I left another a few days later. No call back. So I left another a week later. No response. So I call back to ask what is going on. This time I make sure I get a human. As with any business, you know the sales or new-business side of the business will always answer the phone. So I call the appointments line and explain my issue. I explain that nobody has called me back and it feels a bit like I've been abandoned. And I ask if I could speak with an office manager. The woman sends me to a voice mailbox. I leave a message and nobody gets back to me. I call the appointment line again to explain what has happened. The woman tells me she will personally leave a note on the desk of the woman I need to speak with (who is gone for the day), but that she will also personally check back in with her the next morning to be sure she sees the message. She assures me she will definitely do this.No. Call. Back.Let me remind you, this is a heart doctor. So this is a potentially life-threatening heart condition we are supposed to be looking into.I have never been treated so poorly by a doctor's office in all my years. What a terrible place.**Edit**I have read other reviews and, come to find out, this is not an unusual experience. And those other patients had run-ins with the doctor himself, when they voiced their complaints about getting ignored. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, because I would never put my life in the hands of a person who got irate with me for sharing an honest account of my experience. Red flags all over the place about this guy. I am now questioning the judgment of my primary care doctor for sending me to a guy like this. I will be contacting my insurance company about him.To other reviewers who say the doctor himself is great while the office staff is the issue, let me remind you the doctor runs his staff. The doctor -- and what he is or isn't willing to put up with from his staff -- sets the stage for how the staff behave. If nurses aren't calling you back, it's because the doctor is okay with that. Otherwise those nurses wouldn't still be working there.

This Physician is irresponsible. It is impossible to talk to anybody in his Office. Only LVM. They never returned calls. Patient is waiting for Dr.Berman prescription for more than 6 months, and it is a life threatening condition.

This Physician is irresponsible, or he has the worst office Service team. It is impossible to talk to anybody in his Office. Only LVM. They never returned my calls. Patient is waiting for Dr.Berman prescription for more than 6 months, and it is a life threatening condition. Our PCP, insurance company and CVS pharmacy tried to reach him many times, but no results. When did this physician lost all compassion for his patients?

Dr. Philip Berman is without question the most knowledgeable, experienced and accurate Cardiologist I have ever known!!. Without a shadow of a doubt He is surrounded with the most efficient Team of People. NO WONDER HE IS ALWAYS BUSY. Let me emphasize. KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE MAKES A HUGE IMPACT IN PEOPLE`S LIVES!

I moved to Houston a few yrs ago and had not found a cardiologist. A friend recommended Dr Berman. The front desk staff was great from the moment I walked in. I was a little apprehensive when I met the nurse because she was very quiet but was great when she did EKG. Dr Berman was amazing. The staff who did stress test and echocardiogram were amazing as well. Everything was explained clearly and I left feeling grateful. Thank you Dr Berman and staff.

Excellent doctor, thorough and easy to speak with. Nice office, staff was very polite and helpful.

Dr. Phillip L. Berman is a brilliant cardiologist and really cares about his patients. He is always tying to figure out what causes a patient''s AFIB. He looks at his patients' holistically rather than just from their symptoms. I am fortunate that I am under his care.

Most dedicated, understanding , devoted heart surgeon in Houston.

I do not recommend Dr. Berman
