"April 10, 2001 ----> New stuff to say about Dr. Berkowitz!! I saw him at pretesting he was walking around pre-op testing area before he was going to do his surgeries. He came into the waiting room and said Hi and myself and another girl said "See you in a week" so he said "Oh good! Are you ladies nervous?" we both lied and said "NOOO!" he then replied... "Well it should go real good if only I can get rid of this shake" (and he started shaking his hand) Aaargh! (lol) he's a pretty good guy! I like that kind of ease and bedside manner!<p>January 29, 2001 ---->My first impression of Dr Berkowitz was that this is a skinney man, he'll never understand, oh god am I embarassed! <p>That was the first thought that popped through my head.<p> Then he walked through the door and shook my hand, and looked me straight in the eye, never looked at my body, as many doctors do. He took charge of the situation and made me feel comfortable all in a matter of seconds.<p>
I was so surprised! <p>
He is a very well dressed & together man. Right away I was quite impressed and intimidated all in one swoop. Like I said though, the bed-side manner was impecable!<p> I never felt fat infront of him, his body language did not act that way to me as so many people and especially doctors do!<p>
My husband came with me to my consultation, because he had many questions and was totally against me changing my body. (I don't know what he was thinking) Dr Berkowitz answered all of his questions and explained everthing to Scott.<p>
After Dr Berkowitz left the room my husband, Scott looked at me and asked "Is he doing the surgery?" I said "Yes he is. Why?" Scott said "I like him, I want him to do the surgery he knows what's going on." I was so happy that Scott felt that way! <p>
So to sum up this long story, not only is Dr Berkowitz a great surgeon (which I will find out in a few short weeks) but he was also a wonderful guidance for a very unsure husband.<p>
