Dr. Berman is a double board-certified Boca Raton plastic surgeon with over 30 years of practice experience. He currently welcomes patients at his private practice – Berman Plastic Surgery & Spa – where he specializes in breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, face lift, liposuction, and many other types of plastic surgery.

Graduating cum laude from Yale University, he attended the SUNY Downstate School of Medicine for his medical training, where he also graduated with honors. He then went on to complete his internship and residency in otolaryngology at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York, and completed his residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Later, he completed his hand and microsurgical training at the Kleinert Institute in Louisville.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done.

Away from his practice, Dr. Berman is an avid cyclist and sports enthusiast and enjoys skiing, golf, baseball and hockey. He regularly cycles 120-150 miles per week and participates in cycling charity events like the Multiple Sclerosis 200 where he is a club 151 member (top 151 fund raisers for the past three years). He also plays in many charity golf events to benefit such causes as the American Cancer Society, AIDS, and the Ileitis / Colitis Foundation.

In addition, he is the president of the Boca Raton Bicycle Club, and is also an active sponsor for the Delray Twilight Bicycle Festival. Knowing first hand that cycling can be a very dangerous sport, he advocates Bicycle Safety and the importance of riding with a helmet. He donated 500 children’s bicycle helmets during the Bicycle festival that were distributed at the YMCAs at Boynton Beach and Boca Raton. He also taught school children the importance of riding with a helmet. For relaxation, he loves to play the piano.
