Let me begin with saying the staff made me feel very comfortable and helped me better understand why I was feeling the pain I had. Dr. Berkowitz is a great doctor! This man changed my life for the better after my shoulder surgery. I haven't felt this good in so long. I bounced back to work (light duty) only one week after my shoulder surgery. I am convinced that Dr. Berkowitz has a healing touch. I must admit that the waiting time is a bit long BUT its worth the wait! Dr. B literally takes his time with every patient. He's one of the few doctors that actually cares about you and your health. I recommend everyone with shoulder and/or knee problems to visit Advanced Orthopaedics and become part of the family!

when I went to dr dov berkowitz I was worred that he will treat me bad and discriminate me cuz I'm a Palestinian muslim wearing hijab and he is Jewish from Israel. However I was shocked to the way he actually treated me. He was unbelievably nice, polite, and caring. He treated me with all respect I did the surgery when I open my eyes I found him behind my bed watching me to make sure I'm ok he didn't go home until he make sure Iwalk up from the sergery I need days and days to talk about this dr how nice he is that's what u call Humen I wish him the best in life and I recommend every one to visit him with him there is no discrimination with him there is huminity if every one like him the. World will be better place
