Originally from California, I attended Optometry school in Forest Grove, Oregon, and have lived in Longview, Washington since 1986. My wife and I were classmates, and she also is a Kaiser Permanente Optometrist. We have two wonderful adult children. I chose Optometry because I have had a lifetime interest in optics like photography and astronomy, and I have also had a lifetime of horrible vision myself and frequent trips to the family eye doctor!
About my practice
I spend half my time doing routine general optometry exams, and the other half seeing contact lens patients. I have worn contact lenses myself since early teen years, so I have a pretty good perspective on what that field is all about, and I enjoy working with contact lenses quite a lot.
How I thrive
Being in a health care field certainly drives home the point about reasonable diet and exercise! My wife and I both enjoy playing tennis, hiking, and snow skiing.
Dr. Berger always impresses me because he so thorough with my exam.

I do not always have good experience with doctors (usually pertaining to their apathy and listening skills) Dr. Berger and his team impressed me. I am very pleased with the care I received and will certainly schedule my future visits in this clinic

Had concerns answered by *Dr. Berger about a outside eye exam 2 months ago stating I had glaucoma. His thorough/professional exam explained other eye doctors misdiagnosis. A great relief and he'll be keeping track of my eye health annually.

Dr Berger did everything that I would expect and more. I appreciate his evaluation of my condition and he ensured that I understood what tests he ordered to make sure I was properly evaluated. Throughout the rest of the day, he followed up with me and the various testing staff in the building to be sure all the tests were administered and my referrals were set.

*Dr. Berger answered ALL my questions and concerns about my eye issues. He offered additional information to help me to understand treatment for my issues. My eyes are difficult to examine - patience is needed. *Dr. Berger spent time with me as my eyes adjusted. I didn't feel rushed at all.
