Dr. Scott A Berlin, MD

This practice has multiple rude assistants. After I saw Dr. Berlin for a very vague treatment plan, I tried to find out what I was scheduloed for since the instruction sheet did not have any procedures circled. I was treated quite rudely by a Kayla and someone else. At this point I contacted insurance and there was no pre-certification so I canceled my appointment for the mystery vague procedure. I would never recommend this doctor or office.

Doesn’t like criticism if not doing his job.

I have been seeing Dr. Berlin for several years, and because of him I am more often without pain enough that I can still work. I was unable to comfortably get out of bed in the morning until I talked and worked with Dr. S. Berlin and his staff. I have had a couple of procedures, and I have also had a STEM implanted, all of which has helped and lowered the amount of medication I take on a regular basis. With Dr. Berlin and his staff, you do not just do what is said, you work with him, and his staff to come up with options that you can work with. I have recommended these people to multiple friends who have chronic pain issues.

Dr Berlin is the best in his specialties! I have known him for several years and he has treated many of my family members. He is caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and an expert in his field. His pts experience improvement in their symptoms and overall quality of life. He is efficient and thorough in every visit whether in the office or in the surgery center. He gives excellence and expects it from the staff on behalf of his pts. You will not find a better physician!

I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Berlin. I drive from Wyoming to Cleburne Texas to see him every 3 to 6 months. Have been going there for 3 years.

I was diagnosed with every disc in my neck herniated. I was told that I not only needed steroid shots (nope, not gonna happen), but I needed a prescription for this compounded ointment that only this one specific pharmacy could provide. Ointment was worthless, and my RX insurance benefit was maxed out for the entire year because they billed me $2200 for it! My pharmacy specializes in compounds, but I was told only this certain pharmacy could fill it. Lies. Turns out the doctors had a financial interest in the pharmacy. Illegal, and the FBI got involved. Three years later, I still have herniated discs...no help at all, and ended up costing me a small fortune every month for my needed prescriptions for the remaining seven months of that year, since they maxed out my insurance with the bogus ointment! Don't ever let a doctor tell you that a specific pharmacy has to be used - YOU choose the pharmacy, and any medical professional telling you otherwise is violating the law!

exceptional individual

My experience with Dr. Berlin is one of confusion, when I first saw him he seemed like a very caring physician. He couldn't seem to understand that the pain medication that I'm taking prescribed for every 8 hours I can't take, I can't take every 8 hours because I'm doing other things and therefore I take the medication usually twice a day and I sleep for 5 to 7 hours a night, I'm not available to take the medication. At some point he told me not to run out of pain medication, to call the office, and pick up another prescription. He said its not a pretty sight to see someone with drawing from pain medication. On my last visit I had not taken any pain medication for over 13 hours. There for my pain level was very high, because of the pain level he thought the pain medication wasn't working and decided to reduce the pain medication to a time release tablet that I tried before. That caused me a lot of problems such as becoming dysfunctional, comatose, upsetting my stomach, and not being able to take care of my family. He prescribed the medication anyway he also said I shouldn't drive when I take it so if I'm taking it every 8 hours how do I come in for my appointment. Dr. Berlin is not a easy doctor to communicate with and he's not friendly. He seems to be insensitive towards people less fortunate. I found him to be disrespectful and he has an attitude.

I have been going to Dr Berlin for 7 years and he is wonderful, the office is clean, staff is very professional and helps in any way they can. Dr Berlin is kind and straight with you and does everything in his power to help you control the pain. I would recommend him highly to anyone in pain.

BAD DOCTOR AND STAFF STAY AWAY FROM HIM. IF YOUR SMART YOU WILL RUN. HIS STAF AND HE ARE UNCLEAN AND CARES LESS ABOUT YOU. THE WORST DOCTOR I HAVE EVEN SEEN

I have been seeing Dr. S. Berlin for about 7 years now. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis back in 1996 and my pain has been steadily increasing each year. I am still able to work full time but have to burn alot of personal time when the pain is unbearable. My main symptom has always been pain and other sensory issues. My fellow MS sufferers and their familys know how difficult it is to get a doctor to treat pain. For most docs if they can't touch it or see it on a scan, it doesn't exist. Dr. Berlin has made the last few years much easier to endure for myself and for my family. He is patient and kinds, listening when prudent and educating me on exactly what course we are taking. Put very simply, Dr. Berlin is the rare kind of Doctor I wish I would have found many many years ago. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for me and for my family.

This is my third pain doctor I've been to. Third time is a charm for sure. He listened to my needs and really cared. After only a short time of dealing with him, I feel better than I have in a long time. I cannot thank him enough.

I have been a patient of Dr. Berlin's for over 8 years now, and he is by far, the most knowledgeable and empathetic physician I have ever dealt with. Anyone dealing with chronic pain, as I have for many years, understands that there is no "fix". It's a matter of getting the best quality of life with the least amount of interference from pain with your daily activities. Dr. Berlin has given me just that; I have an active lifestyle, and can get out and enjoy different activities that I couldn't dream of even attempting before I started seeing him. He has me on a comprehensive treatment plan, of both medications and procedures, that are very helpful to get me past flair ups of my condition. I'm not sure what other's expectations are, but I will be eternally grateful to Dr. Berlin and his staff for all that they have done for me.

The only thing bigger than this guys ego is his bank account! He is condescending and doesnt care if you are in pain. He is nice until he can't figure anything out then gets mad if you don't run to a surgeon. I needed chronic pain care and he just wanted to get rid of me after milking my insurance for everything! I was under this creeps care for over a year and in 12 months I had 7 steroid injections when you are only supposed to have 3 a year. I suffered through each procedure and was under medicated for 14 months. When I told him I wanted something NOT AS STRONG but more effective he rolled his eyes and stomped off! Run as fast as you can!

Dr. Berlin has the WORST bedside manner! He treated me like a drug addict. I understand that there are pill poppers out there, but I told him everything that I had tried and what had worked and what hadn't, he still treated me like one. He talks extremely fast, to the point of confusing me and what I wanted to talk to him about never got brought up after the first point. Pretty much he is not interested in what you have to say, just what your chart says. The office staff is nice, but there is a huge lack of communication/miscommunication. I wasn't told how much the office visit would be, I later found out he is a contractor and I'd get a separate bill. You are required to sign documents stating you agree to a group care environment, but it pretty much does not include your opinion or how you want to proceed. Just him and his staff get the opinions.

Went to this clinic for 6 months. After my initial visit, I was called back for follow up appointments 3 times per month to adjust my medication, even after finding a regimen that worked perfectly well!!!! Only saw Dr. Berlin one time for my first visit, every other appointment was with the nurse practitioner (Pina Soni), who gave instructions to call after one week and report on how the medication was working compared to the previous one every single time they changed it. Following her instructions got me booted from the practice, as they took my constant updates as a sign I was just trying to get more pills, since the second med they tried me on worked perfectly well (I have never abused a drug in my LIFE!!). I have very good insurance, which they were clearly trying to milk for every cent by making me come in for as many appointments as they possibly could. As soon as I started to get fed up and make a stink about the treatment path they were taking and explore other options (seeing if my PCP or neurologist could manage my medication instead of this place), they couldn't have been happier to show me the door. Now that they have flagged me as someone just trying to get pills, no other doctor in his right mind is going to give me the treatment I need. If you absolutely have to go here, make sure you take absolutely no notice or care in your own treatment as they will kick you out the door without a moment's notice and flag you as a drug addict.
