    Dr. Berdis demonstrated a high level of clinical expertise and professionalism throughout my care. He took the time to clearly explain my condition, surgical approach, and expected outcomes, and I felt included in the decision-making process. His communication was thorough and helped build confidence moving forward with treatment.My surgical experience was well-coordinated, and I appreciate the care provided during that phase. My recovery has been more complex and has required ongoing coordination across multiple aspects of care. During this time, I remained actively engaged in my care and advocacy. When directly involved, Dr. Berdis was attentive and responsive, which was meaningful during a challenging recovery process.
