I made an appointment with Dr. Berkowitz on Oct 29th for November 22. As you can see the email went to spam. I received a follow-up to the 22nd telling me yesterday that my intake paperwork needed to be in with in 48 hours of appointment. I have had both hips replaced since the end of March and have been on pain meds since December. I wear a pretty serious back brace as well as a brace on my knee and neck. My body is a disaster as it my emotional state. Meds for that long taken only to make the pain tolerable is a terrible way to live. I have hunted for a good shrink to try and come at my body with dual attempts at treatment. I woke up this morning to find out that the appointment was cancelled. When I called to look into why I was told than it takes about 48 hours to go through paperwork. Hard to believe but explains how a doctor with so many years in practice gets such poor reviews. When I saw that the oct 29th email went to spam a begged and pleaded to speak with the doctor if he had not replaced my appointment time. He didn't, went home I now need to wait another month. For an error that is 50/50 at best. A shrink treated me as if a had a small rash on my pinky. I made an appointment with Dr. Berkowitz on Oct 29th for November 22.

He started our first appointment by yelling at me

TERRIBLE! At the beginning of the visit I informed him of the last provider I had seen and within 30 seconds he began yelling at me about them allegedly breaking the law. It was horrible and was on the verge of tears the entire visit as a result. He was incredibly condescending and spent excessive time on his on personal anecdotes and cut me off constantly when I was talking. I tried to explain to him issues that I had with certain symptoms and what I wanted to get out of my medication treatment - he wouldn't let me finish half of my sentences. It was if I was talking to a wall and my opinion on how I was feeling didn't matter. He ended the visit very rudely when I told him that I didn't want to take a certain medication that causes so much weight gain that it's literally used for frail elderly people in nursing homes to *make* them gain weight. He was absolutely horrible I would recommend that no one EVER see this psychiatrist unless they want to cry after and feel completely unheard.

Dr. Berkowitz treated me with kindness and respect. He presented a remarkable understanding of my situation, he has a wonderful and personable approach. His treatment has been working extremely well and I am so happy to have found him.

1st appointment, he was actually so rude. I was shocked. This is the first time I’ve experienced a medical professional act like that. I do NOT recommend for young female patients.

Within the first few moments of the virtual appointment, Dr. Berkowitz was stating that he would end the session due to lag despite me trying to state that I was trying to keep to my room for privacy reasons. I had no idea I was lagging as I had no issues on my end but the doctor was clearly irritable. After an intake, Dr. Berkowitz went on to diagnose me within 15 minutes of meeting me with no prior medical history. He then hyper-focused on a condition I have and advised me to see a specialist, Sarah Bohn, who was outside of the PCSD practice but was a "school colleague" of his. I tried to state that I was really looking to talk to someone before making any changes to medication but the doctor gave me a strict one path care and stated the only way to treat my condition was with medication. When I did not agree to the doctors one path care and stated again I was really just looking forward to talking to someone, the doctor ended the hour long session 30 minutes early. Personally, I was already in a delicate mental state but I felt unheard, uncared for, and distressed after the appointment.

For the first two years, he was a reasonable doctor but when I refused to follow all of his instructions, he became sarcastic, abusive, and insulting, saying he didn't want to keep seeing me. I asked for a referral, and he said he wouldn't inflict me on someone else, and that I should go to county health services. All in all, I think he did me more harm than good.

This "doctor" stole many years from my father by misdiagnosing him with advanced alzheimers. Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer's Disease Research Center confirmed after 4 years of testing that my dad has zero alzheimers and in fact his memory had improved slightly. For four years my dad worried everyday wondering when he was going to get the letter from the DVM stating he could not drive because he was reported by this horrible doctor!!!! I reported this to his supervisors and they did nothing to him!! Pease dont allow this man to ruin your life

First psychiatrist to get me on medication that actually worked. Really listened when we needed to change things, worked WITH me instead of for or on me. Seems he's switched to geriatric patients only now, but if he handles them half as well as he did me, they're in the best possible hands.

I made an appointment two months out and he canceled because he only takes geriatric patients. Now I have to find someone new. I'm glad I didn't see him due to his low approval and other horror stories. Total time waster. PCSD sucks too. Back to the hunt for a new clinician.

I had severe anxiety and going to see Dr. Berkowitz was the best thing I have ever done. I always look forward to my appts. He is a psychiatrist not a therapist and even though he is there to regulate my medication, he always has a good story, a life lesson to share and I leave happier then when I arrived. I would recommend him to all my family and friends. He has changed my life for the better 100%.

short, not considerate, not personal, never even looked at me, but typed the whole time on computer and asked questions while typing, never looking over even once. I left with a prescription in my hand.

I went in to see him after suffering from depression & anxiety. He put me on a medicine that made me very ill.I was throwing up, I had body tremors, & the worst headache I have had in a while.I called and told him this & he said don't take it for one day then go back on it again. I don't know about you but I do not like throwing up. So taking a medicine that I know makes me sick isn't okay. After I told him this, he removed me as a patient. What a terrible 'doctor'.I will never return to PCSD.
