"I went to see Dr. Bercik for a second opinion after an unsuccessful tendon surgery. The entire experience was fantastic. I was back in my room, intake done and X-rays taken before my actual appointment time. Then when the doctor came he is patiently talked me through what he was seeing and clearly explained what my options were. I recommend this ortho 100%. "
