Dr. Joel Berger destroyed my health and my life. I am in constant misery from the horrific pain and damage that Dr. Berger caused. Before you let him operate on you, go to the California Medical Board site: mbc.ca.gov and see the $400,000 medical malpractice judgment against him. Then go to sdcourt.ca.gov. Better yet, paste this link in your browser: courtindex.sdcourt.ca.gov then click party Name Search and on the form fill in Civil and San Diego and his name as Defendant, and you will see the dozens of lawsuits against him. If I had done this, I would have saved myself from this agony that is my life now. Here is my story:I had double Jaw surgery with Dr. Berger on 9-15-2018. Prior to surgery I had many appointments with Dr. Berger. With family members present, I told him repeatedly that I had previously had two turbinate reduction procedures by ENTs in the past and did not want him to touch these vital organs inside my nose that are essential for breathing. I gave him the reports from both doctors. He said he would not touch the turbinates in my nose and stated that there was no reason to since they were reduced twice already in the past and he had a CT scan showing their location. During Jaw surgery he cut the turbinates out of my face with scissors and then burnt them, destroying the mucous membranes and my ability to breathe properly. Since then I have been in constant pain. I have been diagnosed with Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS). Google it. Nightmare condition. I no longer have the ability to warm and humidify the air so my nose is horribly dry, there is no mucous, constantly scabs but never heals, stinging, and hurting. My throat is red and sore like strep throat due to the cold, dry air hitting my throat. I have terrible vibration in my nose and face. I suffocate and feel like I have plastic wrap over my face and cant breathe. Berger was paid an extra $1,000 dollars for cutting out the turbinates that were perfect prior to surgery and had already been done twice by specialists. Also, Just before surgery, his office clerk suddenly wanted $2,500 dollars for special guides which were not covered by insurance and would make the surgery more accurate. Obviously we paid. No one told us about this until right before surgery. I also had to have two CT scans because his clerk took the wrong image and had to re-do it, so I got double radiation and double charges.After surgery, my septum was crooked and bent to one side, with the right nostril almost twice as big as the left. I have a painful vibrating sensation in my nose. I have permanent nerve damage with no feeling in my upper teeth, gums, palate and lip. The post-surgery CT scan shows surgically reduced turbinates and there is an unrepairable hole between the nasal wall and the maxillary sinus. My septum was put back on crooked and is bent so far the air cant flow in right. Joel Berger would not discuss my post-surgery pain and I had to visit and pay many doctors to find out what he had done. I have spent the past two years seeking help in the United States and in Europe. I have been to top universities. I have seen ENTs, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and reconstructive facial plastic surgeons, but no one can repair the damage or alleviate my pain. I have received stem cell therapy at enormous expense; it failed. One jaw doctor said, We never cut through the nasal septum like this and recommended that I re-do the orthodontia to try and match my teeth to the off-centered crooked jaw. I am undergoing orthodontia a second time at great expense. I had a surgery done to try to reconstruct my septum by reinforcing it with bone graft, but the damage Dr. Berger caused cant be fixed.I met a victim of Dr. Berger - a young woman who would have been pretty if he had not cut her septum during jaw surgery collapsing her nose into a saddle nose deformity.My elderly parents have been heart-broken and financially crushed by this. This nightmare has devastated my life and my once happy family.

I can’t say enough great things about the staff and the work they performed on me, true professionals! Thank you to Dr. Berger, Dr. Krueger, Joseph in the lab and the rest of the amazing staff. I had a very extensive dental procedure ( all teeth replaced with implants) and I’m very happy with the results. It was a long road but seamless process because of the care I received. My new teeth look natural and feel great! Anyone looking for a dental office, no matter how big or how small the job, go here! You won’t be disappointed!

The Dental Implant staff at PermaDontics have been great! They really know dental implants because thats all they do. I went to several dentists before deciding to go with PermaDontics but none of them knew enough about the dental implant procedure to make me feel confident in their ability to get the job done. PermaDontics did. Im really happy to be getting my dental implants from the PermaDontics team!
