Richard A. Berkman MD

Dr Berkman, Nurse Practitioners, & Physician Assistants were amazing!! I am amazed by Dr Berkman - his knowledge, bedside manner, patience, caring for his patients to me is unheard of. Dr Berkman gave me my life back again and one free from pain when I was repeatedly told over a 22 month period of increasing pain that there was nothing that could be done for me! Dr Berkman and all his staff are wonderful!! I have been in awe of my experience with Vanderbilt since my first doctor visit, through my surgery and hospital stay and discharge!! All of you are the best in the nation as for as I'm concerned!! The world needs more of all of you. Thank you all so much!! I will be forever grateful to all of you.

I always recommend Dr. Berkman to anyone who has an issue with their spine. He is the best.

Dr Berkman was able to diagnose my problem within a few minutes! He's very attentive and compassionate in his care giving!

Excellent practitioner, listener and provider who displays his care for patient and family. Used models to de.instrate. Great educator. Spent appropriate time explaining surgical procedure, risks and benefits. Answered questions well.

Dr. Berkman performed a very thorough history and detailed physical examination. He was very empathetic and aware of all my issues which he explained.
