I am exceptionally pleased with Dr. Berkowitz and his staff at Accents cosmetic surgery and spa. I elected to have an eye lift to enhance my vision and reduce my perpetual tired look. The procedure was very successful and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering having it done. I also had a facial resurfacing at the same time and am thrilled with the results. The staff at the surgery center was very professional as well as friendly and caring. The follow up care was exceptional.

Dr. Berkowitz and his staff were awesome. I had a ptosis repair on my left eyelid and was super nervous but when I got to the office on surgery day everyone made me feel at home and I instantly felt calm knowing I was in good hands. Before and after shots were taken by staff and I honestly cant believe how much better my eye looks. My eye was a lifelong battle and I hated taking photos of myself without covering my left eye with my hair but now my selfies are looking better than ever
Good results with filler. Happy with procedure.
Very nice

- Krystal
I previously had a plastic surgeon that I saw for almost 2 years who did my Botox and filler injections. Dr. Mark Berkowitz over exceeded my expectations instantly. His staff was beyond helpful and made me feel like I was family. This was my first visit at the office because I came with a friend who was having work done. Dr. Berkowitz staff made me feel so comfortable that I had Botox and fillers done instantly that same day. They fit me into his hectic schedule which was a major plus for me. Needless to say I will be leaving my previous plastic surgeon of 2 years and will be a faithful client of Dr. Berkowitzs. Words cannot describe how happy I am and how sweet and accommodating his staff was. I give them 5 big stars.
- Debbie
