May God be with you in this time of need. Dr. has been our dentist (mine and my daughter, Elizabeth Chineworth) for over two decades. I am currently a patient in this office and I miss not only the excellent professional care, but the gentle smile and concerned comments Dr. Berkley so frequently made. Be strong and remember you, too, are a child of God.
