Gary C. Berliner, M.D.

Dr. Berliner and the Clinic

Dr. and Mrs. Berliner opened the Chestatee Emergent Medical Care Center in Dawsonville, Georgia in May, 2002. When Dr. Berliner started his practice he was determined to provide medical care at a reasonable price whether his patients had health insurance or not. This determination resulted in what he calls Boutique Healthcare for the Community. He provides his Boutique Healthcare at a flat rate, with all in-house services for an annual fee of $900, or a low $90 office visit for established patients and $110 for new patients with access to walk-in urgent care, ala-cart cash services (at patient-doctor discretion), open access, no appointments and no private insurance. For a full list of services, please see the Services page.Dr. Berliner is a dedicated family man (married, 4 kids) and an IJF-A Judo Referee (Paris 1996), 7th Dan. He travels quite a bit overseas and domestically for his work as Judo Referee, having travelled to Athens & Beijing Paralympics as well as touring Greece and China (while there as referee) with his family. He refereed for Junior World competition in Tunisia 1999, Bangkok 2008, Senior World’s in Munich 2001, the Judo A circuit and New York Open most every year since 1996. In 2009 he hit the Grand Prix Judo circuit. As you might guess he generally works too much, but enjoys life, a lot. He also enjoys hunting and fishing (for the table not the wall), hiking, kayaking, scuba, sailing and surfing (not much sailing or surfing these days but every once in a while…)
