Dr. John Erik Beresh, MD

I was a patient there for almost two years. I went to see Dr. Beresh despite all the abysmal reviews online about him as I saw he had experience with my condition. One day after two years, with a routine urine test (where I was given a cup with a cracked seal on it and then never seeing it again after leaving it in the bathroom), I was told at my next visit that they were discharging me for not having a single drop of the medication they prescribed in my system. How is that even possible when I have been taking that medicine every day of my life for the last decade? When I asked if they were sure it was MY sample, they went on and on about how they take every precaution and follow every law to ensure mistakes don't happen. I was also told that there was a medication in my system that I can't take because it gives me seizures. They make no mistakes? Riiiight. When I asked how that was even possible, they said they don't know, but because of that, if I wanted to be considered to come back as a patient I needed a psych eval, and even then it would be up to the doctor's discretion. I left in shock, and in tears. I have a progressive pain disease that there is no cure for, and finding a doctor with experience in it is hard. I now see WHY this man has a 1.8 rating on my insurance website, and I now believe all the terrible reviews. It's like as his practice grows, he just starts kicking out patients to make room for the ones that will bring him in more money. His office staff has got to be the rudest I have ever met in my 40+ years on this Earth. No matter how much you kill them with kindness, they treat you like crap. Crystal, who schedules the appointments very obviously expresses her hatred of her job every day. And trying to get an appt with the doctor every single visit PISSES her OFF. They farm you off to the nurses, and when you want to see your doctor, you have to go through the Spanish Inquisition as to WHY you would have the audacity to want to see an actual doctor. If I could give no stars, and curse throughout this review, I would. 100% would NEVER recommend, and will have zero problem telling anyone and everyone who asks about Dr. John Beresh the same. Not only did he kick me out of his practice, he also burned me with other pain doctors in the area AND my GP, who now looks at me like some junkie rather than someone with legitimate pain. I firmly believe all the former patients who have said that not only were they never apologized to for the absolutely HORRID behavior they were subjected to, but that they were actually ENCOURAGED to open a lawsuit against them. Painfully obvious that they are in it for the money, and not for the patients. Thank you for completely and utterly making my pain a thousand times worse. You are one of the reasons that people no longer trust doctors, or put any faith in the supposed "oath" you took. Shame on you, your nurses, your practices, morals and your staff. Shame on you.

What a horrible human being. He should not be practicing medicine.

My father WAS a patient of Dr. Beresh. For some reason Dr. Beresh kept prescribing Percocet to my father, even after I had made phone calls to the office and went to the office in person with my father, to tell Dr. Beresh that my father was now addicted. Dr. Beresh had said that there were no other options for my father's pain...even though he had never even prescribed physical therapy for him. Now my father is dead due to the Percocet addiction. Thank you Dr. Beresh for providing such outstanding medical care. You should have your medical license taken away!

I was a patient for 7 years n got booted by tamika calling me an opioid abuser! Yet NEVER had a pill count nor have I ever had a bad tube test! Probably because I don't do anything wrong. I spoke the truth and got sent to a physiatrist who completely DISAGREED!! I was denied seeing Dr Beresh. He's the actual doctor not these nurse practitioners. So they'll be hearing my name again soon!??

This man is sick! He enjoys hurting people already hurting. He slanders other Dr’s that prescribe more liberal. I had someone break into my car. Every Dr. replaced or continues to see me. He told me “So what you’re saying is, some kid, is Dead!, with a bottle of pain pills next to his head with my Name on them” I replied “Sir there’s crime in this world and some make a living doing it and may make More money than you unfortunately, I’m the victim here” Dr. Beresh has a terrible reputation among highly Respected Dr’s. I’m often told he’s a jerk by them. My urologist whom I’ll leave out of it said “I have never dealt with a more non compassionate man. He refused to call me back re your post operation care, I’m sorry Todd” Dr. Beresh is very much a smart elect. Using continuous snide remarks that are un professional. I wouldn’t take a animal to him... I tried to like him, I gave him a fair chance and I actually did like him pre op. Post op is a tragic story of abuse, neglect and discrimination. He fired me as a parent today. And he enjoyed it! That’s the sick part. The pain Doctor that causes Pain is how I view him!!! Find someone else is my advice. Very Mean Person with issues!

booted

This office is doing a good job of handling my severe pain. While not competely painfree I am living a much higher quality of life now.

I have seen Dr. BERESCH SINCE HE WAS NEWLY OPEN. HE HAS BEEN COMPASSIONATE, CARING AND HAS TRIED EVERYTHING TO EASE MY PAIN. HE HAS HAD WONDERFIL PA'S EXCEPT FOR ONE AND SHE DID NOT LAST LONG. I HAVE RECOMMENDED MANY PEOPLE TO SEE HIM, AND THEY HAVE LIKED HIM TOO. THANK YOU DR. BERESCH FOR ALL YOU DO FOR PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC PAIN.

I went to Dr. Beresh office when my Dr. I had been seeing left the practice. I thought that Dr. Beresh was very Proffesional and Witty, he understood everything that I was going through and worked out a good plan that worked well for me, and all his staff was very polite and new their job. But his one CPN had accused me of doing something that I would never have done without telling them first, accused me of taking something more than what I was priscribed. They released me just like that! They never took my history or past drug screenings into account. She accused and that was it! I was very hurt and felt unjust because I know that I did not take any more of this drug, but I could not fight the fact that it still showed up in my test.

he isn't concerned about helping a patient in pain

Both staff and the Doctor are very compassionate and caring. No complaints! Would highly recommend

Dr. Beresh is the most rude, incompetent "doctor" I have ever been to. He makes you feel like you are a piece of crap drug addict and of course when UA comes back neg you are still a drug addict. He is rude, unprofessional and uncaring. Pathetic.

From the beginning Dr. Beresh and his staff have been wonderful! The 3 or 4th visit due to miscommunication, he lowered my dose, as expected. Other than that there has been no issue, he has always been attentive to what is going on with my pain, as well as friendly. I was overly thrilled that he doesn't want to come at you with needles(since i'm scared to death of them) unless there are no other options. He nor staff have EVER recommended methadone! It upsets me to read reviews of how horrible he is when in fact if it was not for this man I would't be able to work! He may be in a mood some days but you would be too if your trying to help people and deal with addiction, lies, and deceit from many patients, lets NOT mention the government breathing down your neck at every turn due to the opioid epidemic these days! I would recommend him to anyone. While reading the reviews ask yourself, whats 1 visit to find out for yourself?

Very unorganized, they double book him every day...wait over 2 hours... He wants to put you on methadone, which is absolutely horrible for you. He was rude to my wife, who is a nurse, when she asked why he would switch me to methadone when what I was on was working and methadone has so many negative side effects...Google, one pill kils...it's methadone. I would definitely not recommended this guy

I was so nervous when I first came.....due to all of the horror stories I have heard......but the staff is so nice and friendly. I am100% satisfied. I would recommend this place to everyone in need.

Dr. Beresh Pain Management Center is a delightful friendly environment. All of the Staff there are friendly they talk to you, they ask you questions. Believe me. I've experienced worse in the Pain Management offices in Cincinnati. They all are rude and nasty.

he is my third pain doc. Definitely the best of the three.

With only one visit to rate so far, all I can say is he chopped both the narcotic and even took me off a non-narcotic non dependent medication that had really been working? Ive spent the decreased month back in bed where I was before I first started pain management a years ago. I do not know if he is trying to do me a favor because of government pressure to do away with helping legitimate patients, or if he is just anti medication management? I am scared for my next visit, and am scheduling surgery, likely too soon, because I am afraid I am running out of options to be able to live a normal life. This area of medicine seems to be lacking good doctors just because they can make just as much or more money in a specialty without the government threats and pressure. More people need to raise this issue around elections! Let Dr's help legitimate Pain - Its our entire well being at stake!

AT MY VERY FIRST VISIT TO DR. BERESH I WAS TREATED WITH RESPECT AND LIKE A HUMAN BEING NOT JUST A NUMBER.EVERYONE IN THE OFFICE ALWAYS ARE POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL THERE IS NO BETTER PAIN DOCTOR IN THE CINCINNATI AREA THAN DR. BERESH AND THAT IS WHY I DRIVE OVER 30 MILES ONE WAY.

Dr. Beresh is a doctor I wouldn't send my worst enemy to. He doesn't care if his patients are in pain. He thinks your a drug addict and accuses a person of being one if you ask for an increase in meds. This is with all the test showing the patient has messed up back. If you value a good doctor don't go to this one.
