Berberian Vicky P MD

Not going to lie, I really like Dr. Vicky. They is thorough, funny, and honest. My only complaint and it’s a serious one… Well here is the story.
I was out sick for work, missed two days. After returning to work I am notified by my HR that I need a dr. Note for missing those days because it was adjacent to a day off. Only problem was I wasn’t notified right away. So now I’ve been feeling better for 2 days. I call up Dr. Vicky and she wants me to come in. «Why, I feel fine now, I WAS sick». I explain on the phone. Well she wasn’t going to give me a note without coming in. Now I can’t get an appointment for 2 more days so I haven’t been sick for 5 days now. So I have to go in, pay my copay and get a not saying I was sick when now I’m feeling fine. And I’m sure my insurance was billed too. We wonder why we have healthcare issues in this country. I’ll tell you why, I needed to see a dr to get a note that says I wasn’t feeling well 5 days prior. Sesh!

Dr. Berberian is my primary care physician. I like her. I have had no major health problems since coming to this office, so I have nothing significant to report, but she has been great for everything I needed. All I have really wanted was help with scalp psoriasis and some blood tests (to check my vitamin levels), and she was quick to provide both.
What I love most about this office is that it is a real, old-​fashioned doctor’s office. There is rarely a wait, you talk to a real (and competent) nurse/​receptionist (or Dr. Berberian, herself) when you call, and Dr. Berberian is helpful and friendly. After a brief experience with the nightmarish Penn system, these basic things don’t seem so basic. It feels like a platinum, boutique set-​up compared to Penn.
