Dr. Jerry E Berland

I would to know how good he is with eye muscle surgery in adults

We were told to wait 25 minutes after my daughter’s eyes were dilated and instead waited more than an hour and a half. When I politely mentioned the wait had been very long I was reprimanded for raising the issue and lectured that he was an important surgeon with complicated cases and that I should have known the wait would be more than 2 hours as this is normal for him. Most problematically when I explained that the information I was given at this visit about my child’s vision was different than what I had been told by his predecessor I was spoken to like I must just have just been too stupid to understand the diagnosis.

Normal wait times are more than 2 hours, quite a challenge with a toddler, and his demeanor is rude and condescending.

Dr. Berland is extremely dismissive and rude to parents. I waited an hour between nurse and seeing him in a room that is not child friendly for my 14 month old. He then rushed the appointment, spoke over me and didn't even let me finish a thought. He then spits out medical terms to his assistant and didn't bother to look at the file before coming in so he just read everything from a month ago out loud. He then asked me to sit forward and proceeded to physically move my body forward before I could even do it myself. He then uses terms as "mothers always think this..." and continued to state mothers seeing things when he knows what hes doing. I never once questioned his knowledge and will not be returning to him.

We should have read these reviews before seeing the doctor. Many of the reviews here are true.This doctor seems to be very rushed and we felt he needs proper ethics when talking to parents of the kids. He didn’t explain anything about my kid’s nearsightedness instead he just said that he has mild eyesight and doesn’t recommend eye glasses. When we asked him questions he asked us to hold on and was busy talking with his assistant. Mr. Berland incase you read this review, please keep in mind that parents bring their kids with a trust in you and its your responsibility to explain everything clearly to them. There is no point of we coming home and googling all those medical terms. We don’t recommend this doctor for kids.

After walking the parking lot for 40 minutes with my one year old child waiting for my appointment with Dr. BERLAND, I finally saw him walk into the building I’m assuming from a late lunch. He wasn’t busy with other patients just not at the facility. I went inside to check on my appointment which was supposed to be at 12:40pm and they finally got me in at 1:30pm.. mind you I have a 1 year old. He opened door without knocking and addressed my 1 year old as “how’s my girl doing” but NEVER addressed me. He didn’t ask me any questions and when I did ask him a question he told me “just let me do my job”. Any comment or question I made, he was completely dismissive and disrespectful.When my daughter got fussy because he was trying to shine a light in her dialated eyes after she’s been there for 2 hours he seemed like he couldn’t handle her fussiness and I had to awkwardly nurse her so he could check her eyes with his face basically right up in my boobs.

Maybe if he was on time she wouldn’t have been so fussy and maybe if he knew how to work well with children he could have improvised instead of having me nurse her. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask him as it was my first time at a doctor like that and he rushed out the door leaving me hanging. He had an attitude that his “crap doesn’t stink” and “I’m a doctor and I’m better than you” and didn’t really care about me or my daughter.

My kid got higher astigmatism prescription. Even then, I was suggested that glasses are not required. Now, after 6 months, my kids astigmatism only increased. As an experienced doctor, he should inform me about astigmatism. I should nt be learning about it through google.

Dr. Berland what above and beyond to help us through a medical situation with my daughter. He took extra time with her to closely monitor what was going on with her eyes. Amazing doctor!

I couldn't be happier to have found Dr. Berland. I'd lived with a traumatic eye injury for 35 years and he was able to achieve really impressive cosmetic improvement. I'm so pleased with the care and comfort I got from him.

Dr. Berland is knowledgeable and consistently follows up with us personally after appointments or correspondence with our other doctors. He can be initially dismissive of parent comments or concerns, but he is willing to address them in his own time.

The doctors and staff for the eyeglasses are great. The issue has always been for 5+ years that the appointments take hours since they overbook his schedule. Plan for it to take hours even for a simple checkup.

Dr. Berland and his staff were so accommodating, thorough, and kind. Awesome bedside manner. Staff was so helpful. Thank you for providing such great and timely care for our son!

Dr. Berland has been amazing with my son and treating his condition of Strabismus. Dr. Berland has a great bedside manor and he has made the right decisions in my son's treatment. Highly recommend!

Dr. Berland operated on me to correct very bad double vision. I had to have prisms in my glasses for years, each year getting worse with thicker prisms and thicker lenses. After surgery June 2016, my vision is outstanding, I don't need prisms any more, and my glasses are so thin. The operation was a complete success, and Dr. Berland and his staff are extremely capable and caring. On a one to ten scale, he's a fifteen!

We took my five year old daughter to see Dr. Berland for a routine eye exam. Overall no complaints, except we do wish he had spent more time talking to us. He seemed to be in an extreme rush.

Dr. Berland is a vision saver. We had no idea how serious our son's condition was until Dr. Berland took a look and gave us the news. We are very appreciative of Dr. Berland and his expertise. The ladies in his office are so attentive and helped us tremendously as well. We actually go to Dr. Berman in his office for adult care and he has been super too.

I took my 3 y/o to see Dr. Berland at the request of his pediatrician.The initial eye test was completed promptly, but we waited over 2 hrs to see Dr. Berland. Once we were seen, he ran a few tests and proceeded to share his diagnosis. He was very curt and when I began to ask questions, he directed me to speak with his assistants. He then walked out of the room before I had an opportunity to respond, spending less than 5 minutes with us. I am shocked at his unprofessionalism & patient demeanor.
