Very patient and helpful
Best doctor ever , to the point , very straight to me . I like that . Kind and knowledgeable
TOC is Excellent! The staff is welcoming and Dr. Berkowitz was very knowledgeable. The person who evaluated me was very caring and physical therapist Tanya and her intern Valentina were Amazing teaching me daily exercises to help my neck and shoulder pain. It’s a great place! ❤️
Más de 1 hora para la atención . No hubo muestra de un gran interred en solucionar el problema
I waited nearly two and a half hours for my appointment, which was longer than expected. I was seen by the physician assistant rather than the doctor. While treatment was initiated, I would have appreciated a more direct evaluation and discussion with the physician
Excelentee
My experience today was with RN Sheila Rosenberg was very professional and take time to listen and explain choices to decide in my treatment.
Great doctor
Good doctor but not enough staff. Way too slow!
Dr. Berkowitz’s assistant was not very considerate of the patient’s pain.
