This is the second time I had to see berkowitz and the second time I'll be asking yo see someone else - he has no bedside manner, doesn't listen to your concerns - just waves away your concern because he sounds pompous and arrogant- I would never recommend this doctor and being that this is the second time I've had to deal with him I'm disappointed that the clinic still employees him- he didn't even look at my X-rays -Didn't care about what the ortho express doc said - only what the radiology report said except that the express doc found the break not the imaging tech - I had to tell him to look at my X-rays - when I asked to see someone else the front desk said I had to see him again - I would rather treat myself than ever go back to see that man.

Dr. Berkowitz took extraordinary time and care explaining a very complicated medical condition of the foot to me. He eased me worry and anxiety by carefully detailing my options. He reassured me every step of the way. I ultimately decided on surgery which ended up positively changing my life. I feel 25 years younger and have my life back!
