Patient Reviews
Dec 30, 2021
Dr Richard Berkman is the 5 star neurosurgeon that Nashville has ever seen. He's so involved in making you completely understand what your diagnosis and treatment is. He is always patient/doctor attached. He stays in contact with you and is always present in your follow-up apps. He doesn't ghost you like others (Logan) does. I have been his patient since 1999. He has never disappointed me in his professional life and again I can't say enough how he stays present in every aspect from day one to current surgeries.
