Dr. Berkowitz is the most genuine and easy to talk to practitioner I’ve ever had. He had to tell me that my leukemia numbers have gone up. Which is never a great thing, but he delivered the info with encouragement that I can easily do a few things to bring my numbers back down. He always make sure that all of my questions and concerns are answered and I always leave his office feeling. I have the number one person/doctor that I could possibly have in my corner backing me. Dr. Berkowitz is truly one of the finest doctors you have.

Dr B was organized and prepared to see me. I observed that he is supported by an aware staff; they anticipated what paperwork he might need for our appt and had it ready with my file; they were welcoming. Dr reviewed my scans with me, which I really appreciated bc I don’t have access to these in my chart, and he answered my questions. Some were questions he seemed to have as well, and we will get answers to those with further consultation from radiology before we settle on a treatment. Together. That is what I appreciate most. I think he has a pretty good idea of how he wants to approach my treatment. Yet he isn’t at this point pushing in a direction I am not prepared to go. He encourages positivity and he’s listening and open to questions without shutting me down. It’s a relief. To work with a dr that’s caring for me as a fellow human being on a journey leaves me with more energy for healing and health.
