Report
Hawthorne clinic has all new staff and it is a pleasure to go to the office. Everyone is very helpful. The office is clean and the wait times are short and sweet now. Dr. Berkes has so much knowledge and she has awesome bedside manner. If you've been struggling with allergies and have given up hope I recommend you give Dr. Berkes a chance to help you with your allergies. You will not be disappointed! Dr. Monsul is a great doctor and surgeon. He thinks outside of the box and helps his patients however he can. Dr. Monsul does botox injections too. He is a surgeon so he knows exactly where to inject

My experience with Doctor Monsul and the staff at Hawthorne has been excellent! From consultation to my reconstructive surgery to the outcome and care afterwords. I would gladly recommend Hawthorne to anyone in need of an experienced eye surgeon.

Report
Im not one to leave negative reviews, but I had such a bad experience from start to finish with Hawthorne Clinic. Dr. Berkes is wonderful so these negatives are in no way about her. Ive been to the office before and had a loooonnnggg phone conversation with reception when I set up my appointment. I was put on hold many times without any warning. Thats basic phone etiquette... if you need to put someone on hold, you tell them before you do so. I was asked for my DOB at least 5 different times. I started to wonder if whoever i was speaking to was actually listening. I got passed to a couple

I have seen both doctors and met several staff members. I have been treated with respect and informed using words I understood. Most importantly, both doctors were genuinely concerned for my health and took the time to explain things.

Report
Dr Berkes was rude and unhelpful in trying to get answers. Was annoyed by questions and over billed my insurance provider despite the fact she knew what the allowed amount was. Insisted on being paid upfront when I had insurance to pay for the treatments. Keep looking if you want a doctor who cares and is not only concerned with her own agenda.
