Dr. Israel Berkowitz, MD

Dr Berkowitz is an excellent Cardiologist. I have been his patient 8 yrs. I have had several procedures. When I have not felt well, he sets up testing immediately for me and when needed, has brought me into Lenox Hill and has had a terrific team oversee my needs. I travel from LI to NYC to see him. Why? I had a Cardio CT scan on a Friday. Sunday Morning from France I get a call from him, on holiday, and tells me to be at Lenox Hill Monday morning. An additional 4 stents later , golfing , exercising and with my family. Thanks Br Berlowitz. He is smart and trustworthy. Highly Recommend.

I have been seeing Dr. B for just over three years. It takes a great deal to impress me w/regard to a physician's knowledge, skills, ability to integrate facts and observations, information from patients, to think critically, and to be aware of the limitation all medical practitioners face. (And basic, good old intelligence. As my mother would have said, he has a real yiddishe kopf. Essentially, my standards for doctors are unreasonably high. He more than meets them. He exceeds them. He is one of perhaps 5 doctors I have completely trusted over the past 40+ years. (If only he could get the gray out of my hair. But then, "every silver lining has a touch of gray.") And, as Jack Lemmon's neighbor in The Apartment (1960) would have said: "He's a real mensch."
