Ardin S. Berger, D.O. (They/Them)

Dr. Berger opted for a holistic, patient-focused approach and completed their medical training at the founding osteopathic medical school, A.T. Still University in Kirksville, MO. They then completed a residency in anesthesiology and two subsequent fellowships: the first pediatric anesthesiology and the second in pediatric & adult pain management. They carry triple board certification from the American Board of Anesthesiology in adult & pediatric anesthesiology as well as pain management. Their near-decade spent providing anesthesiology services has served to inform their pharmaceutical knowledge base, procedural technique, and understanding of both the physiological and personal impact of pain. Their own experience with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS)--and the multi-system effects that come with this condition--furthered their understanding of not only the pain and difficulty associated with this condition, but also the level of undue difficulty experienced when attempting to obtain adequate support and relief from painful, "invisible" conditions. After spending 5 years treating pediatric and young adult pain at Stanford, they left academia in pursuit of an environment where they could offer patients with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other chronic, often-overlooked conditions with the support that they deserve.
