Dr.B is friendly and gets to the heart of your issues from a knowledgeable point of view that he explains w patience. He helped me deal w excema when other derms were filling me up w creams. I recommend him to anyone who asks me for a quality dermo.

Dr. Berkowitz was very helpful with explaining the minor skin conditions I have. More importantly he took the time to explain the nature and remedy of the issues and answered all the questions I had.
February 22, 2024Jacob G.Verified patient
Dr. Berkowitz came in and immediately started touching my face and diagnosing me without asking any questions or looking at my symptoms. was extremely off-putting and weird. when i asked him to sit down and talk slower, he was nice and patient about it so props for that, at least.
He prescribed me medication, tbd if it will work. i’d recommend making sure you’re prepared to ask questions because he didn’t try to explain anything off the bat - just spoke very fast and a little unclear.
February 15, 2024Nechama L.Verified patient
Just what you'd want from a doctor's appointment. Staff was friendly and helpful and efficient. Dr. Berkowitz is knowledgeable, attentive, helpful, and positive. Also, unlike some dermatologists, he doesn't push cosmetic procedures.
Five stars.

All good.
September 6, 2023Charles L.Verified patient
Dr. Berkowitz is amazing. I’m a long time patient with complex skin issues and Dr. Berkowitz spent the time and effort to solve a painful condition that 3 other doctors couldn’t.
I can’t recommend him enough! It’s hard to find a dermatologist that isn’t just trying to sell you cosmetic treatments, but is also a fantastic physician. Plus he’s really nice.
The office is also clean, the staff is friendly, and there’s never a wait. I wish other doctor visits were this easy!
August 25, 2023Laura R.Verified patient
Dr. Berkowitz is a lifesaver. I was really impressed by how knowledgeable and kind he was - he really helped ease my mind. The office is clean and his whole staff made everything easy. He examined my condition and was able to give me a proper diagnosis and concise treatment plan + follow-up. I highly recommend Dr. Berkowitz to anyone looking for a dermatologist.
July 6, 2023Ryan L.Verified patient
Dr. Berkowitz is the best dermatologist I’ve ever been to. I can’t say enough about what a good doctor he is. I was seen right away as always. He has excellent bedside manner, listened to all my concerns, was non-judgemental, kind, efficient. I left there having addressed all my issues and it was such a great feeling. I absolutely recommend him, he’s a stellar doctor.
