Personal Bio

Dr. Berger has a lovely wife, a son and a daughter. He has been very active coaching soccer, baseball and basketball for both his son and daughter.

Dr. Berger himself is only an average tennis player but quite an excellent golfer with a handicap that fluctuates around 7. If he wasn't so committed to excellent Orthodontic Treatment and continuing education his handicap would be much lower!
