SHC Patient, Jan 2019
Great dr. was disappointed I was unable to have all tests she needed. After visit, I got a clot in my leg & had another minor stroke from traveling. ER's don't do much only observe - It would take 2 wks. to get insurance approval - so I can't prove it. My dr. here knows about it.
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
Dr. Berube is an excellent, quality caring dr., whether I was in the hospital for my dr. rounds or for follow ups. She motivates & encourages you to stay positive. 8. Quality time, not rushed.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
Dr. Berube was very friendly and told me all felt my problem (chronic fatigue) was not linked to a blood disorder. However - I was essentially told to wait and get some rest before continuing any treatment options. I felt extremely dismissed and not taken seriously at all. I could tell she did not believe me.
