Excellent office. They actually answer the phone in the office: -not some foreign based “call center”and a very knowledgeable person will schedule an appointment or answer any questions. Dr. Berman is an excellent cardiologist, the most thorough and most caring Physician that I have ever had. He has a vast wealth of knowledge which he can share on a very easy to understand level. He manages a wide variety of patients with very complicated medical conditions, very smoothly, yet he never rushes one through an office visit. His staff are always very friendly and helpful. Other patients seem to be very impressed and happy with Dr. Berman. No wonder! He is a true gentleman and a scholar, yet very down to earth.

Dr. Berman and I go way back, and I’ve just been able to go back to his care (dang insurance companies!) He’s a great, personable, caring cardiologist with very good clinical acumen; prescribes and schedules workups as truly needed. No handfuls of meds, just the right ones. My perspective is that of a very experienced retired RN, so I hope that helps.

Dr. Berman and the Cottonwood Staff provided professional and efficient service. They have a very sincere & caring demeanor. The office staff are knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Dr. Berman as he is very detail oriented. He provides prompt feedback of your test results. Dr. Berman explained my results in layman terms which gave me peace of mind. The Peak Heart portal is the most user friendly of the 4 I've had access to. This is a real plus for a senior patient.

I just had my follow up visit for these results. Everyone is always so friendly, efficient, & makes you feel really like a valued person, not just a number and money! ------------------------‐------------------------- I was scheduled for my routine cardio scans. Unfortunately, they were set up for different days, & further away than normal. Then they brought in staff from one of their other offices, then gave me a sooner appointment, and both scans were scheduled to be done. Dr Berman and his staff really do care about their patient's needs!9

Everyone from front desk,stress test techs, ultrasound techs are very professional and nice. Dr. Berman listened to my concerns and addressed them in a way I understood.Same with the techs. The office is clean,rooms are super clean.i like the fact that the tests were at same location. I really wish I was able to read tests results. There is a place in the patient portal but no results available
