My husband was a patient of Dr Ronald Berman's and had a complete physical and was given a "clean bill of health;" a couple months later, my husband, Peter, died suddenly of a heart attack. He was 51. I visited Berman for some understanding of how this could have happened; his explanation was that he didn't know Peter very well. I took Berman as my primary care physician as I wanted to learn more about him and how he worked and hoped to find a more satisfying answer; he didn't take much time with me so neither of us knew each other well. After more than a year, I became quite ill. I called the office and was given an appointment; during the visit, I told Berman that I was very ill, my temperature had been in the 103 range and I had been ill for about a week and was not getting better. He didn't seem to believe me; he prescribed a medication for the flu; a suppository, that caused me to sleep; when I awoke the next morning, my temperature was 104 and I was delirious and couldn't think. I managed to reach a friend who immediately took me to the hospital; Dr Berman referred me to Dr. Antounian, a specialist, who diagnosed me with pneumonia. I was in the hospital about a week and it took another month at home to recuperate. After leaving the hospital, I never spoke to Berman again. It's been years; I still grieve for my husband but I am fortunate and grateful to be able to tell my story on Yelp. read more
