Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Berkowitz performed a complete hysterectomy on me for Ovarian Cancer. There were some unexpected complications during surgery and he handled the situation with great care and with the utmost knowledge. I was blessed to have him as my surgeon. He is THE BEST!!!

I have chosen Dr. Berkowitz for 2 very involved procedures, including a hysterectomy. Dr. Berkowitz & his team made this very difficult but necessary decision as easy as it could be. He pays incredible attention to every detail; he reviewed slides and pathologies from earlier surgeries performed at another out-of network hospital & called me directly at 7 am the week before the surgery to advise me so I could make the most informed decision. He makes rounds even on Sundays. Amazing, dedicated.

Dr. Berkowitz has a caring, calming bed side manner. The day we met, I was scared stiff. However, I walked out thinking, I'm going to be OK. My husband said, he wrote those books on his shelves! This Dr. was wise enough to tack my ovaries out of the field of radiation. That 1 act allowed me to do egg retrievals & use a surrogate. We now have a 16 year old son. I literally owe both of our lives to this stellar brilliant surgeon. I can't Thank him enough, as I am forever in his debt. Lynne Mason

He is a skilled surgeon-very dedicated warm kind human being. He takes as much time as needed to explain diagnosis and prognosis. I would recommend him. He is a very special person.
