Dr. Berger – Clinician and Scholar

Dr. Berger’s contributions to reproductive medicine and surgery show that a clinician
whose primary responsibility is in the care of individual patients can also be a scholar
contributing to academic research. This is the basis of Dr. Berger’s ongoing Tubal
Reversal Pregnancy Study that documents and analyzes the clinical outcomes of his
patients following tubal ligation reversal surgery.
