Dr. Weisberg is by far the best doctor I have seen since living in Birmingham. The wait is usually…read morea bit long, but well worth it. He is extremely thorough and makes sure to find exactly what is wrong and as a bonus, he is big on holistic treatments so if you grew up that way as I did and prefer to find something natural before using western medicine he is the one to go to. He has always called in a medication and given me ideas of what I can naturally do first. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personal physician.

I have been a patient of this practice for years and it seems like in the past couple of years the…read moreexperience has been on the decline. Initially the frustration came from the long waiting times at appointments. If you are more than 15 minutes late you must reschedule but if you were on time, I have experienced wait times of over 45 minutes before even being called back and an additional 45 minutes to an hour in the waiting room. This has improved but now you must wait extremely long times for lab results, making me think the labs are not going out daily. I had blood drawn on Monday and didn't receive results until Friday for results that other offices provide same day or next day. I have blood that was drawn on Wednesday and Wednesday has come again and still no results, so if it is an urgent matter this would not be the practice to visit. I do enjoy the care I receive from the providers, they are easy to speak with and knowledgeable in their fields. It's just some categories where the practice is missing the mark.

I'm giving it 5 stars because Dr. Ruth is honestly a very kind, lovely and caring person, plus she…read moremanaged to see me right away. She is well known and trusted and I was referred to her by a family friend. However, I wasn't a fan of cupping. She did nothing wrong, it just wasn't for me. It left me sore & back was already hurting really bad. So make sure you know what you're getting into before agreeing to cupping. I'll definitely come back and see her for acupuncture. Some things to be aware of, she is extremely kind, but her facility is kind of bright and loud with many friends talking. You will be her number one priority once she gets to you, but if noise, waiting, and bright lights make you uncomfortable be prepared. She is an expert but it would help to know what the experience is like before going. 1. You sign in (call for an appointment) 2. She asks what is wrong 3. She assess your major organs through your ear canal using a tool that makes noise 4. She confirms areas of discomfort 5. If you get the combo, the massage comes first, you have to take of your top off so be prepared, then the cupping then the acupuncture. 6. You lay on a table and the whole process takes about an hour. 7. You have to come back multiple times to fix any pain issues, not a quick fix. 8. It costs $80 for the combo $60 something just for acupuncture. 9. It doesn't hurt but it does if move around and tense your muscles.

I wasn't sure what treatment she would recommend for the numbness in my hand and foot but she did a treatment of acupuncture and cupping. The treatment was 1.5 hours and it cost 75.00. I would recommend this over deep tissue massage if you are in pain. Some of the cups were a little painful but I found myself very relaxed after a while and I caught myself falling asleep on the table. My wife who has RA has also been to see her and she also believes that this therapy works well.

We've been coming to Dermatologists of Birmingham for years, and we couldn't be more grateful for…read morethe care we've received -- especially from Dr. Gregory Bourgeois ("Dr. B") and his outstanding team. Dr. Bourgeois is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and down-to-earth. He listens carefully, explains things clearly, and truly cares. He has helped us with many issues over the years involving elbows, legs, knees, feet, ankles, back areas, and more -- always with patience and expertise. When something was outside dermatology, he respectfully guided us to the right specialist. The staff deserves just as much praise. Lilly and Madison at the front desk are consistently kind, patient, and professional, making check-in and scheduling smooth and stress-free. Nurse Taylor is wonderful -- attentive, calm, and reassuring. Rhonda, Kailey, Allison, Angelica, Denise, and Lydia have all shown genuine care, kindness, and professionalism over the years. Lydia even took extra time to help with my brother's wheelchair, which meant a great deal to us. The clinic itself is excellent: Clean, well-lit parking lot Wheelchair-friendly halls and exam rooms Comfortable waiting area with seating and magazines Clean restrooms with working lights, hot & cold water, and plenty of tissue Smooth check-in/check-out and reliable prescription handling Helpful appointment reminders by text and phone If we could give 100 stars, we would. We are deeply thankful for Dr. Bourgeois and every member of his team. - Mark & Tim Elders (and our fur babies appreciate us staying healthy!) Birmingham, AL

I'm a redhead with fair skin, so the dermatologist is high up on the list of those appointments I…read morekeep religiously. I've been a patient at Dermatologists of Birmingham (formerly Shelby Dermatology) for several years now. Dr. Bourgeois is the guy I see and he's always very professional and extremely friendly (I wish all doctors had as sunny of a disposition as his). As far as care goes, he's thorough but fast, which is great. He asks questions and listens intently to the ones I have for him, but I love that I'm almost always in and out of this office within a half hour of arriving. The nurses and reception staff are polite and professional as well, so it's always a pleasure checking in and out. If you live in the Helena/Pelham/Alabaster area I highly recommend this place (and especially Dr. Bourgeois). Always a great experience.

6 stars! I cannot…read moresay enough good things about this man and his practice. First of all, he's ALWAYS on time, which is absolutely unheard of for a doctor. When I visit other doctors, I think I'm doing good when I get in only 30 minutes after my appt time. He's personable, funny and has a spectacular bedside manner. He has a fantastic personality and a great attitude. He makes you feel at ease which is a pretty big feat for a man who is about to stick a huge needle in your back. I have had back pain for 7 years. I had an MRI about 2 years ago that showed L4 and L5 are partially herniated. I told the doctor how much pain I was in, and she refused to do anything except refer me to a physical therapist (I had already been to physical therapy on and off for THREE years with no relief) because "I really shouldn't have any pain at all since I only have slight nerve impingement." Btw, this was Dr. Cherie Miner at St. Vincent's. Do not go to see her! A few weeks later the pain got so bad that I could barely walk. My dad suggested I go to a chiropractor, and the chiropractor referred me to Dr. Beretta. I started seeing Dr. Beretta for epidurals in September 2013. Even though I moved to Nashville in August 2014, I continue to make the 3 hour drive every 12 weeks to have the procedure performed by him. This man has changed my life. I'm able to exercise and dance again, oh and walk, which is pretty important!
