Doctor Berkson has been a lifesaver for me. I am 70+ years old and got a bad eczema-like extensive rash for the past year, and all other dermatologists I had seen before him did not know why and how to really help me aside from standard creams that did not help me. Dr. Berkson was the Only doctor who actually diagnosed my rare condition with appropriate medical tests that he ordered, and was then able to find the right treatment for me. I am so glad I found him, it took me so many months to find a dermatologist that can actually help my condition. He is such a knowledgeable doctor, and I am very grateful for his help. The nurse and the front desk specialist at Forefront Lincoln Park have also been incredibly helpful and kind to me. Thank you!
