Provided by Doctor.comI went through double jaw surgery, bilateral jaw joint replacement and genioplasty for a severe overbite. Dr. Berger and his staff are truly talented. I am so grateful that I can breathe better and chew on both sides. I am so happy I went through with this surgery. I have all of the feeling in my face and my nerves have completely healed. My quality of life has improved dramatically. The surgery also improved my side profile and appearance.

completely comfortable and confident. Simply , in the hands of the very BEST !

Provided by Doctor.comI have very high and exacting standards and was amazed and astonished when Dr. Berger not only met them, but exceeded them. He cares, take all the needed time and most importantly, explains everything he will doing which to me, is extremely important. I am not one to write reviews, but when someone can provide great care to others, the word needs to get out. Thanks for reading. Stan Eyler

Provided by Doctor.comI had a surgery that was pretty profound. 5 of my upper teeth including one in the front were gone due to pulling or accident. I was confidant i chose the right man for the job. Dr. Berger is very good at everything even the very tiniest detail. Surgery was a breeze plus he placed a gum graph from my mouth to the front, making it look so fabulous in my mouth. I did not have any pain-ever. 3 cheers for Dr. Berger! i feel fantastic!
