I was referred to Dr Berardi after being diagnosed with breast cancer. I interviewed several PS's and I ultimately chose Dr Berardi because he made me feel safe and cared about as a patient, whose life was about to dramatically change. I never regretted my decision. He is a perfectionist, which is something you want in a surgeon, especially a plastic surgeon. He always made my husband and I feel like I was the only patient in the office. We never felt rushed or foolish for asking a multitude of questions. He genuinely cares about his patients and most importantly, he made me feel "whole" again. I'm an RN and currently work in the field of plastics, so I did my homework before making my selection. I can't say enough about his skills, bedside manner and demeanor in relating to his patients.
