The Dr. was extremely pleasant, attentive and thorough. His staff and student interns were helpful and pleasant. It was a very comfortable and positive experience.
October 23, 2022Irene H.Verified patient
Dr. Berkower was great - very knowledgeable, professional, friendly. He took all the time needed , (quite a bit), to ask about & understand fully my issues and my extensive history. He loaded & went over with me in detail an MRI that I supplied, showing & explaining exactly what my issues were in detail, (with a lot of insight NOT noted on the MRI report or discussed with me by the provider that ordered it). Not rushed AT ALL, (like most docs who schedule at least 6 patients for every time slot). I was treated with an injection on the spot, & have an appointment for another procedure, ( has to be 3 weeks after the treatment I received), given an order for PT, & a prescription for something to hopefully help. Office staff was great, offices & waiting room very nice. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Berkower:)
October 1, 2022Ellen H.Verified patient
Dr Berkower is a nice guy. He was very knowledgeable about everything. He also gave options that were passive and aggressive so I could choose what I would like treatment wise. The front desk girl tries to get you in with everything that you need very quickly; so does the checkout girl. However, the wait time is atrocious. I was in more pain waiting because I had to sit there for so long, so my back pain got worse. It is very boring what they have on the TV there. I also noticed that the majority of the patients were older people. He is obviously very busy because he has a good amount of patients to be seen, so he's popular. But the wait time needs to be spread out more. I was really happy to get an appointment, but maybe they should spread out the appointments so you're not waiting too long.
September 30, 2022Angelique H.Verified patient
I really like the service and the staff. They were all so polite friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend to others who are desperately looking for a doctor specialist or physician that can help with their health condition or problem they are facing. The doctor and the assistant doctor were nice, and had great manners. Great communication, good service and were attentive and were helpful.

The wait time was unbearable. Close to three hours of waiting. If it weren't because I was in pain and had paid my copay I would have left. should have gone to urgent care.

The staff was friendly. The Dr was excellent. He listened to me and took his time to go over my history and hear my issues. The wait time was long because I made my appointment last minute and was fit in.
