Primary care for grown-ups who’d rather not feel rushed. Dr. Berkman sees patients across central and south Palm Beach County — same-day EKG, in-office labs, and referrals that actually get sent the same afternoon.
Consummate professional. Don’t ever feel rushed during an office visit and makes eye contact. The specialists he recommends are highly respected in their field.
Dr. Berkman is board certified in Internal Medicine and has built a practice around the idea that a fifteen-minute visit rarely answers the whole question.
Dr. Berkman earned his Doctor of Medicine at the University of Miami School of Medicine, after completing a Master’s in developmental psychology at Tufts University in 1997. That background in psychology still shapes how he runs an exam room — he listens first, then orders the labs.
He sees patients from central and south Palm Beach County, including Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Wellington, Greenacres, Lake Worth, Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and Loxahatchee. He is currently accepting new patients at both the Atlantis and Wellington offices.
A Gator fan at heart and a travel bug by habit, Dr. Berkman brings the same curiosity to a follow-up visit as he does to a first-time new-patient workup — which, yes, can include same-day EKG and labs.
From annual Medicare wellness to same-day EKG and in-office labs, the list below reflects the most common reasons patients book — with transparent indicative pricing for self-pay visits. Insurance is accepted; final cost depends on your plan.
A 60-minute comprehensive workup — full history, medication review, physical exam, and a care plan. Same-day EKG and labs available when clinically indicated.
Preventive exam with risk assessment, screening schedule, and personalized plan. Includes time to actually answer your questions — most patients say that’s the part they notice.
Twelve-lead EKG performed and read on-site, plus phlebotomy for CBC, metabolic panel, lipid panel, TSH, and A1C. Results typically returned within 24–48 hours through the patient portal.
Referrals to cardiology, endocrinology, orthopedics, and physical therapy — sent the same day, with follow-up to make sure the appointment actually happens. Includes records transfer.
Dr. Berkman splits his week between Atlantis and Wellington. Both offices accept new patients, handle same-day labs, and send referrals within the same business day.
Office staff is polite, pleasant and professional — Doc has a great sense of humor and always thoroughly answers our questions and we never feel rushed.
All went smoothly. Appointment started on time and adequate time was spent on each of us (we are seen as a couple, but also addressed individually). Friendly, attentive staff.
Annual Medicare and physical. Dr. Berkman answered all my questions and spent as much time with me as I needed. That’s exactly what you want from a primary care doctor.
Tell us a bit about what you need and a member of the front-office team will call you back within one business day to confirm a time at either the Atlantis or Wellington office.
New-patient appointments are scheduled for a full hour so Dr. Berkman has time to review your history, medications, and any labs you bring with you. Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete intake paperwork, and bring a photo ID, your insurance card, and a list of current medications.
