Patient Reviews

(12 reviews)

Dr. Berek is a wonderful doctor.
I recommend Stanford very highly to everyone who many need medical care. God lead me to Stanford and they saved my life!
His recommendations were accepted by my primary care team so he helped changed the course of my treatment & I'm grateful.
Dr. Berek is tops in all ways.
I have talked to so many women who are so grateful for and respectful of Dr. Berek that I think we should start a fan club. I leave my appointments with him feeling hopeful.
Dr. Berek is absolutely amazing. He is kind, gentle and makes you feel very cared for. I would highly recommend him!
Excellent.
Wonderful doctor!
I love seeing Dr. Berek. He is wonderful.
Dr. Berek is a kind, caring person and the very finest of doctors.
My confidence in Dr. Berek goes beyond "very good."
My problem is not with Dr. Berek's care for me during the consultation but rather the complete lack of communication from his asst. on the follow up and of providing me any written information as requested.
