This was the second time I had seen this care provider. Consistently pleasant, personable, and informative.
Shira was excellent, best to me of all of the different health providers that I see. She called me personally and set up my appointment real soon after I contacted her through My Chart
Shira Berger is a fabulous care provider. Very thorough and accessible. I feel she is concerned about my health and cares about me as a patient.
Very very courteous and concern.
The provider listened and recorded what I had to say.
Always great
Very good providers
Excellent
Very attentive and shared a medical plan to summarize our visit.
Excellent. Clear and concise care
My experience was great with my care taker.
Good
SHE IS AWESOME! BEEN SEEING HER FOR YEARS.
Dr. Berger was very professional.
The NP had a great bedside manner and knew what I was talking about. She took notes and gave good recommendations. This was our first meeting and I felt comfortable.
I feel it was a good experience overall. In order to see a gastroenterologist, and after several appointment cancellations by the department, this was the best way to address questions about my health.
She was awesome even though I was emotional
Very thorough
Checked out how doing since last visit
Very knowledgeable, polite, professional person!
Was most interested in my situation.
Good
Dr. Berger can come across as a bit cold and lacking in concern. Of course, she's not required to, she's a perfectly competent doctor and if I was seeing patients all day I would lose patience for empathy pretty quick too, but it is noticeable.
It was very good and my provider always listens to me
Great listener
Shira Berger, also just good things to say about her. She is the one that ordered the right tests and then I was finally diagnosed correctly. My Primary Care Doctor, did not know what was wrong with me after some tests and I asked her to refer me to OSU gastroenterology, which she did.
She was knowledgeable about my history and showed concern for what I was going through.
No complaints
No bad experience
Great experience. Very good doctor.
Very well
Very good experience, need to go back and I am not as scared.
Can't suggest anything to help my condition. Just says to continue doing what I'm doing, even though it doesn't help.
My care provider was a very good experience.
Seems to have negative bias against people with mental illness. She's perfectly nice to your face, but reading her notes after the visit was over, I realized that she believes all my physical symptoms are due to mental health issues. It's like that's all she can see. Even in the face of positive test results, she swears up and down that I'm totally asymptomatic, and offers only antidepressants for treatment.
Excellent, caring patient service.
I really liked this doctor. She was very thorough.
She was very good answered questions very knowledgeable and kind
Bueno
Thorough when giving explanations
All good
Professional but friendly. Shira takes time to ask questions, listens to my response. She also is excellent in explaining things in a way that is easy understand. She treats me with respect.
Shira was amazing. She was very easy to talk to and gave a lot of good information. I will definitely be returning to see her.
