Very professional and attentive. Has a great team in that office. Dr. Berkowitz listened to my main concerns and offered a few treatment options allowing me to express what I'd like to do. And the wait time was not long at all.

I had an appointment today, after I waited more than an hour I didn't see the doctor, only his assistant. I spent no more than five minutes with her and that's it my follow up visit. I felt like it was acwate of time and money
