You’d not find a pediatrician who is as dedicated to his profession as Dr. Berkun. He is always very thorough in our visits (perhaps too thorough so visits tend to take a long time, but it is a happy problem to have). He genuinely wants to know how the child is developing. He takes time to explain the growth curves, diet and nutrition, the reason for administering medications, and once, even explained to my child a 3-step process on how to deal with conflict with other children. We do not always agree on every aspect of child-raising, but he has respected our personal decisions for breastfeeding and extended co-rooming with the children. I will always remember Dr. Berkun coming for daily visits with my newborn, when I was in hospital for close to 2 weeks due to complications. He always had an encouraging word for me, and also shared notes on both my baby and my progress with my husband, who could not visit due to COVID-era policies. After my discharge from hospital, it was a challenge for me to find time to show up for my newborn’s appointments, and Dr. Berkun offered to come into office on the weekend. His caring extends beyond his patient to encompass the family of which the child is part. This is the kind of doctor you’d want to look after your children’s well-being.

I would highly recommend Dr. Burkin to all new parents. He has a consummate knowledge on child rearing and has incredible bedside manner. We look forward to each visit as we walk away with far more knowledge than a book could ever teach us.

Dr. Berkun is an amazing pediatrician. He cares so much about his patients. We can always get a hold of him in emergencies and even just for advice when the baby has a fever. He prioritizes his patients and has even met us on weekends when his office is closed. He taught us so much about parenting and has given us the confidence we needed as first time parents. He always types up notes for us to take home so we can follow along with his directions and he spends a lot of time with the baby for each appointment. We never feel rushed.

Dr. Berkun has been our Family Pediatrician since he came to the hospital when I gave birth with my first child 16 years ago. He is one of the only remaining hospitalists that I know of and having that type of relationship with a doctor who cares for your children is extremely important and meaningful. He has been there to support my three children every step of the way including the all important after hours call. Highly recommend.

Our journey with Dr. Berkun started with our prenatal appointment about a month before our daughter's due date; I highly recommend making a prenatal appointment with Dr. Berkun to get to know him and his approach to care. When our daughter was born, Dr. Berkun visited us each day during our hospital stay -- which was our first introduction to his attentive care and thoroughness with our infant. What makes Dr. Berkun especially unique is his approach to empowering parents and providing us the information we need to care for our child in between visits, but remains accessible in the event of an emergency. Dr. Berkun always thinks ahead, proactively anticipates questions a parent may have, and explains his thought process in a way that is approachable for parents. Our experience with Dr. Berkun and his staff has been exceptional.

Dr B is incredible and we regularly recommend him to friends who are looking for a pediatrician. He treats each child as a unique individual and truly takes the time to understand and treat them accordingly. Ample time is taken to make sure the parents have all their questions answered. We've never felt rushed and truly couldn't ask for anything more from our child's doctor. We feel lucky to have found such a caring and knowledgable doctor.

Dr Berkun has been our child's doctor for all 6 years of his life. He's extremely knowledgable and treats the parents with respect. Our son loves him and we can see why. He's great with the kids and makes time for his patients and their families. He takes the time to explain and discuss so we always walk out of the office feeling confident and calm.

We couldn't ask for anything more; Dr Berkun has been incredible to us and our son since the day our child was born in 2017. He's really thoughtful and knowledgable and takes the time to explain everything to us. We feel involved in the process and it's a learning experience for us every visit. Dr B is extremely kind and our son actually looks forward to his doctor visits!

Dr. Berkun is our trusted Pediatrician for both of my children and has been there for us for well visits, sick visits and even urgent responses when my son suffered from croup. I appreciate that he knows my children so well and provides a thorough examination and check up. Unlike other offices with multiple Pediatricians where you don't know who will be caring for your child, Dr. Berkun provides the 1:1 care that is so important as your child grows and develops. I whole heartedly recommend!

We are very lucky to have found Dr. Berkun. You can tell that he cares about our family. He was there from day one and always takes the time to explain his evaluations. The education helps calm us down as first time parents and prepares us for the future. Thanks for everything Dr. Berkun
