Neal J. Berkowitz, M.D.

What made you decide to become a doctor?

My grandmother told me to!

What is your philosophy of caring for patients?

My philosophy is that people should have a good time when they come to the doctor. My style is laid back using a sense of humor.

What is the most enjoyable part of your day?

The relationships I have with my patients make my job very enjoyable. I have been seeing some of my patients more than 20 years.

How has your practice changed?

Electronic medical records have greatly improved the care I can give to my patients as well as my ability to access information.

What defines you as a doctor or as a person?

As a physician and as a person, I try to do the right thing. It is not always easy.

What do you do in your spare time?

I work to keep myself physically and emotionally healthy so I am best prepared to do my job. I also nurture relationships, especially family.
