Peoria TV’s WMBD-TV’s Loving, Living Local featured an interview with Dr. Berger and his double knee replacement patient, Scott Elger of Peoria. After running for 33 years in a Memphis to Peoria relay for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Peoria resident Scott Elger’s knees finally gave out in 2022.

Determined not to give up on his charity runs, he searched for a doctor to let him run again post-surgery. After a minimally invasive procedure from Dr. Richard Berger, Elger laced up his running shoes and participated in the 2023 relay, which raised over $1.3 million to help St. Jude children and their families.
