The reviews listed below were collected independently of Eye Care of San Diego through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
She seemed “rushed” & I don’t feel she gave me adequate attention. She also said she would check my pressure & use a q-tip to touch my eye but she didn’t do either. I felt like she really didn’t know how to help me. I was and am very disappointed.

She is board-eligible and fellowship-trained, reflecting her advanced training and dedication to providing the highest level of care.
Dr. Berkowitz’s approach to ophthalmology is holistic, emphasizing the importance of treating the person as a whole rather than just focusing on the disease. She believes collaboration between the patient and doctor is key to optimal eye health and vision.
Dr. Berkowitz earned her M.D. from Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and completed her ophthalmology residency at the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University. She further specialized in cornea and external ocular diseases through a fellowship at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute. Her training included global health initiatives in India and Argentina, where she performed surgeries and provided care to underserved populations.
Involved in her medical community, Dr. Berkowitz is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Women in Ophthalmology. Outside of her practice, she enjoys Pilates, yoga, hiking, and traveling, with a recent trip to Tulum, Mexico. She also enjoys spending time with her Golden Retriever, Oso, and is proficient in Spanish, striving to make her Spanish-speaking patients feel comfortable and understood.
