He is also a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Internists, a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, and a Certified Correctional Health Professional. Dr Berardi notes that he entered health care because he found he always enjoyed helping others. “I cherish opportunities to help patients understand their medical conditions and empower them with knowledge, so we can work together to prevent, control, and reverse their issues, ” he states. “I am a firm believer in nutrition and lifestyle choices as the cornerstone of good health. When I meet a patient, I want them to know I am there to work with them and help them achieve their best health, ” he adds. When he is away from medicine, Dr. Berardi enjoys reading, hiking, running, going to the gym, and most of all, being with his wife of 25 years and their three children. <p style="margin-bottom:13px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="color:#242526"></span></span></span></span></span></span> <p style="margin-bottom:13px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="background:white"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="color:#242526"></span></span></span></span></span></span> <p style="margin-bottom:13px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:115%"></span></span></span></span></span>
