Dr Berkowitz gets right down to business in to help determine the best course of action. He is prompt and the Milford Staff is great at follow-up. A buttoned up practice

The problem is that he does not appear to take an interest in your issues. Seemed preoccupied. I couldn't wait to leave the office.Luckily, I was able to find a compassionate, professional

I've been to several psychiatrists in the area and Dr. B is by far the best. He is caring, kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgable.

I've been to several doctors and I have to say that Dr. Berkowitz is by far the best. I've had several issues to deal with lately, and he has been outstanding with assisting me and guiding me in the right direction. I've not had any issues with the office staff so far.

Dr. Berkowitz is very helpful and caring to me. It has taken a while to diagnose my issues, and I think that the amount of time spent may be part of the problem.The real problem is with the office staff. Don't ever expect to complete a call to the office without being put on hold. The attitude is almost always brusque. It may be because of the workload, but it needs to improve.

Dr. B has helped my family immensley througout the years. He's taken time out of his busy schedule to help us when we needed it most and I am forever grateful of this. Oh....and yes, I have been invited to celebrity golf outings with the Doc. Sorry "Anonymous"....you missed a good time!
