Dr. Scott Berman brings fresh energy and comprehensive training to CrescentCare as a board-certified Family Medicine physician. A graduate of Tulane University School of Medicine, Dr. Berman completed his residency in Family Medicine at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, in Chicago, where he gained significant experience working with diverse patient populations in an urban healthcare setting.

Dr. Berman is passionate about the variety that Family Medicine offers. He treats everything from acute conditions, such as infections and musculoskeletal complaints, to managing chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. He also provides care for substance use disorders, routine vaccinations, age-appropriate screenings for both men and women, pediatric care, and prenatal services. This broad scope of practice keeps him continuously learning and growing as a physician.

What sets Dr. Berman apart is his commitment to patient education and shared decision-making. He believes in teaching his patients about their health conditions and empowering them to make informed decisions regarding their care. His approach emphasizes making every patient feel seen and heard, encouraging questions, and creating an environment where open communication flourishes.

Dr. Berman’s patient-centered philosophy stems from his understanding that effective healthcare requires more than just treating symptoms; it necessitates building trust and ensuring patients actively participate in their care journey. His recent training has equipped him with the latest evidence-based approaches to family medicine, which he combines with genuine compassion for every patient he serves.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Berman is a devoted Chicago Cubs fan who enjoys spending quality time with his partner and dog. He loves exploring the outdoors, discovering new restaurants, and catching the latest movies—activities that help him maintain the balance needed to bring his best self to patient care.
