Mark Berkowitz, MD
“My primary concern is to understand each individual patient’s goals. For some, that may be to complete a race or compete in some athletic event. For others, it may be simply to walk around the block without pain. By understanding each patient’s unique needs, I can tailor a personalized treatment plan that will produce the best outcome for the individual.”
