Yes [highly satisfied], I was consulting with Dr. Berkowitz about a hand problem. He checked it out with x-rays and then by examination and found that it was a procedure that I would need. However, the procedure is optional. His information made me decide to not proceed presently and think more as to I really want to proceed. He was very helpful throughout.

09/01/2019

Doctor Berkowitz and his team were ready for me. No long wait. They did x-rays promptly and my situation was well and completely explained. Not the result I had hoped for but still a very caring, thoughtful, well-handled visit. Second surgery is required and that's not what I had expected. Follow up phone call to arrange for immediate PT appt was helpful, as we'd spent time looking at my x-rays and discussing second surgery. I was seen quickly. Surgery pre-booked as it was typically called for and the whole process was handled very efficiently and with genuine care.

08/13/2019

It was a pleasure being seen by Dr. Berkowitz. He answered all my questions, with my memory I'll probably have to ask again. Enjoyed his sense of humor, told him I wasn't going to watch when he put a needle in my hand, his reply "not to worry he would watch everything." [Single best thing is...] When I first went in to see Dr. Berkowitz I was in so much pain with my right hand it was very difficult to do anything. Now after the needle procedure the severe pain is gone and have much more use of my hand.

08/09/2019

I could not be more pleased with every aspect of my surgery following a major break of both my radius and ulna. I believe Dr. Berkowitz took the time and care during surgery to provide me with a good start on recovering the function in my hand and wrist. I also appreciate his use of the "SpongeBob" foam tower for post-op use to maintain elevation, as it allows me to sleep without discomfort or concern that my arm will fall out of an elevated position during sleep. My post-op office visits have been positive and very helpful, as Dr. B patiently answers all questions and gives excellent explanations of all that I want to understand in order to do my best to bring about maximum recovery. My husband and I have also been very impressed with his office staff, as everyone in the office is caring, positive and skilled in everything they do.
