  Arrogant & Rude, don't waste your hard-earned $ with this guy!..., Mar 30, 2012

I would absolutely NOT go back to see this guy; he's the epitome of the stereotypically arrogant, rude doctor. When he enters the room, he doesn't even say a simple "hello" or even look at you, for that matter--he simply sits down at the computer with his back turned & begins to brusquely ask questions. I believe in common courtesy--so when I politely asked if he always does this, he replied, "I'm just trying to get to this back pain issue...do I come off as standoffish?" When I answered yes, there was no apology--just a, "Well, it might be a problem for YOU, but that's just the way it is." I was speechless, like WOW. I told him there'd be no need for treatment, promptly left and called my credit card company to dispute my copay charge as soon as I got home. Docs, your years of med school don't give you carte blanche to act like a**holes...especially when we're paying you our hard-earned money!

  Dr. Jodi Berg Is An Amazing Integrative Naturopath..., May 18, 2013

Dr Jodi Berg is a doctor who really listens. In the 8 years that I have been her patient, my health has improved dramatically. Dr. Berg's integrative approach that includes acupuncture, naturopathy, Chinese herbs, homeopathics, massage and spiritual counseling treats the whole person. I heartily recommend Dr. Berg's Integrative Family Health center.
  Best doc ever! Would recommend him without hesitation!..., Feb 13, 2013

I'm not a fan of doctor’s offices, but I'd go back to Dr. Lazar without hesitation. Dr. Lazar is very straightforward, knowledgeable and professional. He gave me a flawless assessment of my situation, listened to my concerns and answered my questions with clear, well-informed answers. If you have ear/nose issues, go see Dr. Lazar!! I can't recommend him enough.
  Good staff, horrible "doctor" - Wallet stuffer versus actual clinician ..., Feb 10, 2013

In a few words? - Horrible bed side manner; dodged questions and threatened to quit when we inquired about alternative treatment methods. This dude is older than the internet as we know it and he was throwing hissy-fits like a rabid Bieber-fan. - Extremely pessimistic. Every conversation boiled down to DEATH. Look, I get that cancer is no walk in the park, but rubbing our faces in it is counterproductive and honestly, believe it or not, does more harm than good. After the nth time of being told "HE IS GOING TO DIE," we stopped talking to him about and kept his patient visits short. - Biggest gripe? Cancer research is a constantly developing field and new, novel discoveries are made often enough that you might spot it in the newspaper or online. It should have been a huge red flag when this so-called M.D. was absolutely clueless about significant changes in our understanding of how cancer works. Final remarks? He gave up on our father when we walked through the door the first time. Had we known of his lazy, outdated way of treatment, we would have walked right back out of that room without hesitation.
  Dr. Behm diagnoses and prescribed hip replacement for me. It did not work out well. See below...., Feb 3, 2013

Dr. Behm recommended and installed a metal-on-metal replacement hip called Birmingham Hip Resurfacing. Early on, it was abundantly clear that the hip was infected. However, Dr. Behm performed two more surgeries before acknowledging infection as a root cause. This delay, in our opinion, allowed the infection to incubate to a dangerous stage. Finally, we 'fired' Dr. Behm and had the hip revised by another surgeon who correctly diagnosed the infection and three more surgeries later, I was stable. In conclusion, I would not recommend Dr. Behm for any procedure.
  Dr. David Brothers has an artist eye for wonderful & natural results!..., Nov 26, 2012

Dr. David Brothers and staff are amazing!! He is very professional, very courteous, his office is in a private setting, individualized to your "needs" NOT his financial gain, and he is very compassionate. I have had multiple procedures from Dr. Brothers (tummy tuck, lypo) both with wonderful results. Dr. Brothers has injected BOTOX in my face as well for several years and those results have erased years off my face. I "do not" look over done; however, Dr. Brothers has an artistic eye to make me look just "right" for my body type and perfect my curves in a natural way. His work is simply amazing, so much that over a dozen of my friends have been recommended to him for referral work as well!!! I have visited the SPA services at Dr. Brothers office as well and had many facials/scrubs. They are simply "amazing"! They do not "pressure" you into using their lines or products; however, your face feels so smooth and soft that you sometimes treat yourself to a new skincare line and I often added a new lotion/serum/cream each time. Pleased and PROUD to recommend Dr. David Brothers and Staff to any and all who seek plastic surgery, BOTOX injections and SPA services.
