Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was Dr. Berkowitz patient in Harlingen and Brownsville for many years. I have nothing negative to say about him. To me he was always a very good and understanding doctor. I really liked him.

This man made very inappropriate comments to me! One of them was,"if you had cataracts removed,you would look in the mirror and see what you really look like,and do something about it"! I wasn't there for anything but an eye exam!!!! Geezer! As his short balding head walked out of the room,I lost it!! I don't have cataracts!! I have a muscle disorder! Thanks to him he destroyed my self-esteem!!! You look in the mirror Mr.! Ya would have gotten no stars but that was not an option!! Wow! Crazy!!!!
