I have been seeing Dr. Berkson for almost a year. Before I saw him I had positive ANA, anti-RO (lupus), Rheumatoid Factor, anti-DNA and elevated liver enzymes. I was feeling awful: nauseated, swollen joints and no short term memory. After 3 treatments with ALA & LDN, my lab tests came back negative and I feel great! I am very grateful to Dr. Berkson and his staff for giving me back my health again. I came all the way from the East Coast of Canada to see him & it was worth it!

I saw Dr. Berkson back in February for my Hepatitis C. He prescribed Low Dose Naltrexone for me and it has done wonders! My viral load dropped from over a million to less than 20,000 and my liver enzymes are normal! My abdominal ultrasound showed "normal liver function" for the first time in 7 scans. The man is a genius and perhaps, the best liver doctor in the world!

This doctor is awesome -- he helped me with my RA pain in ONE visit and my doctor's haven't helped much, if at all, in the 3 years I've had it. He's knowledgeable, caring, concerned and committed to getting you well. Everything a good doctor should be !

In 2001, I drove all the way from Alabama to see Dr. Berkson after reading his book about lipoic acid and how it helps Hepatits C. I contracted the virus in 1975 and by 2001 I was so weak I couldn't make it through the day. My liver enzymes were elevated and I felt terrible all the time. Dr. B's office was unlike any other doctor's office I'd ever been to. Everyone is great to deal with. Dr. B suggested dietary changes, treated me with alpha lipoic acid and recommended a vitamin regimen that I continue to this day. I am now a 34 year survivor of this terrible disease. THANK YOU DR. Berkson!!!

Dr. Berkson and his staff give you hope for the future. I have gone through interferon twice with no success. I couldn't function at work and home. Now, after 1.5 years, I truley feel better than I ever have and look foward to returning for treatments. Most of the patience I have talked to have fired their DOs and rely on Dr. Berkson for all their needs. I would without hesitation, recommend Dr. Berkson and his Staff.

Dr. Burkson is the best he has saved me from diabeties and many other problems. I was in a wheel chair I started the treatments years ago and I am free and clear of all of them.

after years of interferon have nearly killed me causing rheumatoid arthritis and zapping my thyroid i have finally found a treatment that not only brought my emzymes down to normal for the 1st time in 22 years but is completely reasonably priced and has me feeling amazing. I cannot believe Dr. Berkson is not a household name. He is utter brilliance!

There are not enough words to praise Dr.Berkson. Since I have been his patient my labs are perfect. He said that I should live 110 years. He discovered a possibility of my developing lupus and now it is in the negative range. Lichen-planus is under control.

He has treated me for Hep C after I went through a horrible experience with the interferon treatment with its innumerable side effects.

I feel that Dr Berkson has really helped me with my Hep C and the way I feel. The ALA really works and I would recommend any one with Hep C to try it.

After the typical interferon dead end and my DR.s advice to do the whole thing over again, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Berkson. Through his unconventional treatment and a small diet change I feel as though my Hep C is under controll and energy level is up. I can't say enough good about Dr. B and his caring staff.

I was given 2 mo.-1 yr. to live in 2002 by conventional Drs. I discovered Dr. Berkson and began his treatment for Hep. C and severe Cirrhosis. In less than a yr. I was clear of Cirrhosis and my liver had rebuilt itself. My Hep. C is in remission and I am doing fabulous. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I thank God that I never took Interferon. Dr. Berkson's treatment is painless and has NO side effects. He is very thorough, explains every test and it's effect on your body, listens to your needs and genuinely cares about each patient. He has the most caring and effecient staff I have ever known and they treat everyone with understanding and concern. I have seen people there with every disease you can think of and from all over the world. I owe my life to God and the wisdom of this Dr. in treating my Hep. C and Cirrhosis.There is hope and health awaiting you with this Dr.

I AM ALIVE TODAY ONLY BY GOD'S GRACE AND DR. B AND HIS EXCELLENT STAFF. MY LIVER DID NOT RESPOND TO THE "CHEMICAL" TREATMENT AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A TRANSPLANT WITHIN 2 YRS.( THAT WAS IN 1998) AND NEEDLESS TO SAY THE "CONVENTIONAL" MDS WERE INCORRECT!

Dr. Berkson is excellent. He has been treating my for hepatitis C for several years. My viral count is down . I feel wonderful. I am able to ride my horse and enjoy skiing at a performance level of somwone one half my age. Everyone is the office is friendly and efficient. No patient is treated as just a case or a number. I thank God for bringing me to Dr. Berkson.My husband has such respect for Dr. Berkson that he asks him to perform an annual check up and uses him for preventive care.

Dr Berkson is a "one-in-a-million" caliber of doctor. I was not rushed through the office visit. He is extremely thorough, caring, knowledgeable and surrounds himself with a like-minded staff. I have hope for my life with Hep C that I did not have prior to finding Dr Berkson.

Dr. Berkson has a wonderful treatment for most "untreatable and incurable" diseases. If it wasn't for this treatment I would be bed ridden and waiting to die as my other Dr's told me I would be doing. The other Dr's also wanted to prescribe to me a treatment that has only a 10% probabilty of working and major horrible side effects. The treatment offered by Dr. Berkson has no side effects. Run do not walk to this doctor.

THIS DOCTOR WAS ABLE TO RESTORE NORMAL LIVER FUNCTION WHEN OTHERS WERE NOT. HE AS AN APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF HEPATITIS C WHICH SHOULD BE USED BY OTHER PATIENTS IN THE SAME DISEASE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AND HIS EXCELLENT, COURTEOUS AND WELL INFORMED STAFF. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THESE EXCELLENT RESULTS WITH OTHER DOCTORS WHO SEEM TO THINK THE ONLY ANSWER IS INTERFERON AND SUBSEQUENTLY LIVER TRANSPLANT. IF YOU ARE IN THE SHAPE I WAS, DON'T HESITATE, IT MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE. THIS TREATMENT IS CHEAP WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVE.

Without the care and support of Dr. Burton Berkson I know I would have not survived through my bout with breast cancer. He supported me both physically and mentally through a time when I needed more than a physician. I am cancer free now.

I would not be alive today if it weren't for the treatment and care of Dr. Burt Berkson. He treats the whole person, body,mind and spirit. He genuinely cares about his patients and they know it. He is absolutely the best Dr. I know.
