I have been suffering from long covid for the past 20 months. I have altered taste, which means most things taste like aluminum or suds. I have lost 18 lbs and have been suffering these affects. I love to cook, but can't taste the food when preparing food. This week I was referred to Dr. Michael Berger to seek help. He gave me a thorough assessment and recommended acupuncture. I am not a "needles" person, but I desperately needed a solution, so I agreed to the treatment recommended. He talked to me and explained everything. It didn't hurt as I feared it would. With most needles, I felt nothing. One of the needles went just under my chin, he explained that it would stimulate my tongue and hopefully help my taste. I admit that while the needle was in I felt a strange tingling around my tongue. He let me remain alone for about 20 minutes and played amazing flute music. I was so relaxed. When he returned I had to admit that I had fear for no reason. I left and thank him, not expecting anything. At night, I slept better than I had in months and when I woke up, I was hungry. I tentatively tasted some breakfast and noticed a difference. The following morning, Thanksgiving day, I began to taste so many things! Oh my gosh! I am so blessed today. I can't thank Dr. Michael Berger enough for this wonderful therapy! I can taste again and with every bite it is getting better and better. I am going to tell all my long covid friends and I want them all to visit for an acupuncture session!!

Mike is a good doctor his bedside manner is great & knowledge is good. I could not give him 5 stars because he tried to fix my back but couldn't but not for a lack of trying. My back is just really in bad shape. But every patient that I talked to said he is good & help them.
