I remember as a little girl going to see Dr. Berman when him and Drs. Shulwolf and May were in a building, long gone now, at Best Square in Military Hwy. My children ended up going to see him as well as my oldest grand child. He was a kind man and I was sad to hear of his passing. My prayers to his family during this saddened time.

In 1968-69, when Drs. Berman and Shurlwolf had an office in Virginia Beach, Dr. Berman was my son's pediatrician, we counted on them. We had little money or insurance but we felt confident of Dr. Berman. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
