Professional Career

Dr. Bergh came to reproductive endocrinology by way of radiology, his initial area of practice. While performing imaging for infertility patients, he became fascinated by what was then an emerging field, and decided to change specialties. During the 15 years since Dr. Bergh co-founded RMANJ, and for seven years prior to that, he says his working relationship with founding partners Dr. Richard Scott and Dr. Michael Drews has thrived because of their ability to strike a successful balance. “In some practices, pride and personalities can get in the way,” he says. “Our mix works because we each bring something different to the table and we are all focused on one thing, which is the absolute best care for the patient.” Dr. Bergh says this may be the patient they see in the office today, or someone who knocks on your door months or years later on the road to paternity. “We have to give something back, to find ways we can improve patient care through clinical research,” he says. “Even if it isn’t going to help immediately, it will in the future.” Dr. Bergh also applies this unrelenting drive to his personal life. An avid athlete, he often gets up before dawn to exercise, and can be seen sailing, biking, waterskiing, or rock climbing on his days off. He says he works hard at having a good time, admitting that this often wears his family out.
