Money is the only purpose there. Before going I ask if he did knee replacement. Made have unnecessary XRay. And told me he does not do that procedure anymore. Very disappointed
Office seems very crazy - always wait at least 2 hours even with an appointment.
Dr was very clear and take his time to do he observation about my research
Excellent galeno !
The doctor was nice but I came in to check on a clavicle break that happened 2 weeks prior. Doctor said the xray shows its healing fine but didn't even ask to see the first xray to compare. To me I couldn't see a difference from the two xrays.
Came in and listened to me and offered alternative solution till I could get my knee replaced. He still did what he could for me while I was there.
Éxcelent!
Very informative - took time and full explanation of issue and treatment plan.
Dr. Berkowitz is very professional and thorough. He walked through the process with easement. He gave me options for different treatments in the future
