      Dr Berger (and Dr Cabillo, I think her name was) were amazing! I absolutely felt listened to and understood. They both explained different options, different expected outcomes and their reasoning behind suggesting them, and every step of the way I felt informed and cared for.

      My consultation with Dr. Berger was excellent and could serve as a model for how consultations should be conducted.
