My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
It is a privilege for me to function in a capacity where I can potentially help avoid medical problems or treat problems as they arise. My philosophy is to do my job, both technically and emotionally to the best of my ability and in the interests of my patients. My guiding principles are simple - tell the truth and don't be arrogant.
I believe my patients who are part of my MDVIP-affiliated practice value the same goals of health care which I embrace - the values of prevention and wellness and of allowing adequate time to effectively work together to keep them happy and healthy.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Berg
Dr. Richard Berg has always been more than a physician; he addresses each concern and illness of his patients immediately with suggestions, directions, and advice. Return phone calls are very much a part of his practice. I have never known how he manages to respond so quickly to whoever calls for a consult. The resulting relationship between patient and physician is more like family than it is… See more
I first had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Berg before he became an MDVIP doctor. At that initial visit, I knew what I still know now, Dr. Berg is a great doctor because he is a kind, compassionate, honest, caring human being. There is never a time that Dr. Berg doesn’t follow up immediately to take care of my needs, no matter how trivial they are. He listens & respects what I say and cares… See more

Dr. Richard Berg has been my physician for some 28 years. The key to our relationship has been his ability to listen to the patient. He is most accommodating and I believe this is because he "hears" my concerns.
Dr. Berg has been my doctor for several years. He is an outstanding and caring doctor. When you're in his office he always treats you with kindness and gives you his undivided attention. His patients are a top priority to him. He always tries to make himself available whether it's just a phone call or appointment. I feel blessed that he is my doctor.
Dr, Berg is always available. His knowledge of his patients and their histories are optimum. Dr. Berg has a superior ability to diagnose any medical issue and refer you to a specialist if appropriate.
I feel privileged to have him as my personal physician.
Dr. Berg has been my super doc for a long time, even before he got some discipline about appointment scheduling. In his new capacity with MDVIP he has been a tower of strength for me and for our two sons. With my medical problems last year he has always been available for consultation and advice. Didn't matter what I needed or when, the answer was always. "come on over". We are… See more
Dr Berg is always there for us with care , knowledge and support. I was battling a hospital and doctors that took a look at my 93 yr old father and dismissed him and told me to take him home on hospice and let him die. He needed a peg tube to at least get a shot at living and they were refusing to do this for me even though I was POA for my father. It was a very difficult and stressful time… See more
