About Michael D. Berent, MD
I believe that the physician-patient-parent relationship is very important. The value of my advice comes from trust that is built after weeks, months or even years of caring for a particular child. I treat children as I would like my child treated. I became a physician because I am community oriented and enjoy making a positive impact on other people's lives. Outside of work, I like spending time with my family and listening to and playing music.

For the past 17 years, ever since our son was born, Dr. Berent has consistently shown concern for him, and his kindness and patience have remained unchanged. He listens attentively to what we have to say, explains everything clearly, and always makes us feel supported. I am deeply grateful for his warm personality and the trusting relationship he has built with our family.
