Dr. Berenter is the best! How do I know? I had a bunionectomy 35 yrs ago when I was 35 years old…read more I was in pain for almost a year, and couldn't wear anything but tennis shoes ( I was an executive at the time, my boss thought I was milking it a bit) when the same foot, 30 plus years later started hurting again, I thought, oh my gosh, I can't go thru this again, the pain is too much at 67, I am very active however, walk 5 miles every day so I was referred to Dr. Berenter. My 1st question was "has this surgery changed in 30 plus years? AND told him my story", his reply was "no, but you will not be in that kind of pain, if much at all"! Max 2 weeks in a boot and then back into shoes. Well, I wanted to believe him but really didn't. I have had a number of surgeries in my 70 years, and this is the only one I remember like it was yesterday. I knew I had to proceed, low and behold I don't even think I took 1 pain pill. In a week I told him I was ready to get back to my life and he said, "not so fast, you need to wear the boot at least another week, so you don't mess up what I did". Oh darn! I did and have never had a problem since. He also saw my left foot, as it too had a big bunion, but said, "until you are in pain", let's leave it alone. 3 years later, I am now in pain (it's not a pain you forget). I went to see Dr. Berenter and said it's time. He x-rays my foot and says, let's book it. I am going in next week for my surgery and not concerned a bit because I know he is the best and have referred many people to him in my senior community. The only thing that would be better is if his office was up in our neck of the woods. LOL

I'm so grateful for the care I received from Dr. Mona. She took the time to evaluate my scar and…read moregave me thoughtful guidance on the best treatment approach. Thanks to her recommendation, I was referred to an excellent specialist who handled the procedure, but what really stood out was how Dr. Mona continued to check in afterward to make sure everything was healing properly. She provided me with detailed aftercare advice, including helpful product recommendations for sun protection and scar recovery. Dr. Mona's kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for her patients truly set her apart. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dermatologist who not only has tremendous expertise but also takes the time to support each patient's long-term health and confidence.

As most others state the office here is a NIGHTMARE to deal with. They have you fill out forms and…read moreconfirm appointment but never disclose that you will pay an EXORBITANT amount once you are done. In my case, they charged me $750 for a consultation and then never billed my insurance as promised. I reached out via phone and email multiple times and 3 months later they filed the claim for a lower amount $475 of which my insurance paid 1/3 of. I am still fighting to find out why the billing amount was so much less but after their lack of response in the past, I doubt they will respond.

After reading other reviews, I'm genuinely relieved I didn't go through with seeing this doctor. My…read moreexperience mirrored exactly what others have described--especially the interactions with the front desk staff and the so-called "office manager," which were shockingly unprofessional. Referring to patients in pain as "customers" is already demeaning, but demanding a $475 upfront payment just to be seen takes it to another level. It felt cold, transactional, and completely lacking in basic compassion. Honestly, it left a terrible impression and confirmed I made the right decision to walk away.

I came to Dr. Griffin after being told by other orthos that all I had was a bad sprain that it…read morewould recover and heal over time. After living with this for over 2 years I saw Dr. Griffin. After conducting a very thorough review and diagnosis, he concluded it was more than a bad sprain and recommended surgery. He was right on target with his diagnosis.

Three months out and I was able to complete several hikes totaling over 40 miles on vacation. Couldn't have hoped for a better outcome.

Unfortunately, our experience with Dr. Nayna Patel was very disappointing. While she initially came…read moreacross as empathetic, that quickly changed once my mother-in-law began expressing her concerns. After briefly reviewing her MRI, Dr. Patel dismissed her symptoms and told her that injections would not work, that her spine was "closed," and that surgery was the only option. The conversation felt rushed and one-sided, with surgery being pushed without exploring or discussing other possible treatments. When we tried to follow up with questions and concerns, the office did not return our calls for over a week. When we finally received a response, we were told that my mother-in-law had "trust issues" and that Dr. Patel would not continue working with her. This was extremely unprofessional and upsetting, especially for someone who was simply seeking clarity and reassurance about her health. Ironically, we are now grateful that the relationship ended, because we found another doctor who took the time to properly evaluate her MRI, said surgery was not necessary, provided injections, and my mother-in-law is now doing great and feeling significantly better. Every patient deserves to be heard, respected, and given options -- not dismissed or labeled for asking questions. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Dr. Patel.

Dr. Jackson knew right away what I…read morehad, was able to explain my test findings, and explained the course of treatment in easy-to-understand language. Headache specialists are hard to find, and I'm grateful that I had access to one. They seem to see a good deal of patients with migraines. If you're not familiar with Scripps Health, you should know that several providers are associated with, but not directly part of Scripps Health. It can be hard to figure out who's who and where. The agents at Scripps seem to favor their own; I didn't love that part. The care itself was good quality, though. Other than the one issue, I felt that people were trying to help.

Dr. Berenter did bunion surgery on my left toe on 10/2/25. By the time I got home, the bleeding…read morewent off the orthopedic shoe and onto the carpet. There was quite a bit of pain, and we had never talked about handling pain before the procedure. In follow up visits, he spent less than one minute with me, and gave me incorrect information about wound care. (Cover it with betadine solution and cover it with an elastic bandage.) The betadine trick caused the bandage to pull off the scab with the bandage. It is now March, and my foot is still painful. The dermatologist found that Dr. Berenter left in 2 stitches, which my toe considered foreign objects. Avoid this guy. I wish I'd never gone.

Again, no one returned my call. This is an unprofessional medical office. Please be aware.
