A good friend of Dr. Berman, Dr. Alberto Gobbi, of Milan, Italy, has recently been voted to be Executive Secretary of the ICRS, International Cartilage Repair Society. A great honor. Dr. Gobbi has been instrumental in developing new cartilage repair techniques especially bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC). Dr. Berman has had the privilege of working with Dr. Gobbi in Milan learning techniques many of which are not yet available in the USA.
Dr. Berman was a “Super Doc” by Living Magazine in 2013. The article referenced his ongoing cartilage work as well as being an Associate Master teaching Arthroscopic Shoulder techniques to surgeons from around the world at the Orthopedic Learning Center in Chicago.
In March of 2013, I was doing a “Stupid Man Trick” and was attempting to trim a dead branch on a tree in my backyard using an extension ladder leaned against the tree. Predictably the ladder slipped off and I fell about 10 feet landing with all of my weight on my left leg.Read more
I am a 37 year old male that has a total of 12 knee surgeries, including ACI procedures on both knees in the last 3 ½ years. I was told by two surgeons that I would never be able to have the activity level in my life that I was accustomed and most certainly would not run again. It came to the point that just walking around the house was taxing. One surgeon recommended me to Dr. Berman and toldRead more
Dr. Berman’s work has been noted in Lubbock, Texas. He has developed a patient clientele and has several patients who travel the 4 hour drive to have him evaluate their special needs.

Dr. Berman recently had the opportunity to give a lecture to the general public at the Baylor Orthopedic and Spine Hospital of Arlington (BOSHA). He talked about all the options available to younger active patients who happen to have injuries to their knee joints. Joint surface damage can advance to early arthritis. But, with proper treatment many of these lesions can be stabilized and treated. Various treatments were discussed including simple chondroplasty, microfracture, ACI, DeNovo, and osteochondral allografts. However, inRead more
Last year, when I found out I needed knee surgery, I was determined to find a doctor who could help me return to my active lifestyle. As a runner and an aerobic instructor, physical fitness is an extremely important part of my life. I knew I found my doctor when I met Dr. Berman. He is a doctor who cares for each patient on an individual basis with the utmost care, concern and respect.Read more
I’ve been an athlete and involved in some form of sport or training since age 5. Fast forward 22 years, and I find myself with a torn ACL, MCL, and about 90% of the cartilage in my right knee. My immediate thoughts were that I would no longer have the ability to exercise, train or live the active lifestyle that I had known and lived my entire life. It’s because of the people at Arlington Orthopedics and the wealth of knowledge and support I received, that I was able to regain my life back. I am truly appreciative and Dr. Berman, Andrea, and the entire staff, without them I am not sure I would have been able to get back to where I am today.Read more
