    Dr. Berman is the best 'old-school' doctor at UCSF. She cares about my total health and wellness above merely booking charges for procedures. I am fortunate to have such a doctor, and she has my full confidence in her care for me - I trust her with my life.

    Dr. Berman is outstanding. She listened to me and worked with her care team to set up a short term and long term plan. I am not in a great space right now and she recognized that.

    I love Dr. Berman. She really makes me feel like she is taking into consideration my whole complicated history each time I sit down with her. I know she's busy, but she always makes me feel seen, heard, and cared for. I have seen many many doctors over the years and I will say this is not usually the case. I am so appreciative and would highly recommend Dr. Berman.
