A Personal Note from Dr. Tom


I've known Dr. Berkowitz personally for many years and have spoken with him at length about his approach to mercury safe, healthy dentistry. I agree with his philosophy and consider him to be a highly trained, dedicated, experienced and skilled holistic dentist. I am impressed with the depth of his knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and his effort to educate his patients. He utilizes his knowledge and training when designing dental treatment plans for his patients.

His ongoing post-graduate training in holistic, cosmetic ,and traditional dentistry and his concern for the safe removal of amalgam fillings makes him ideally suited to remove and replace them. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a caring health focused, mercury free and mercury safe dentist.

Dr. Berkowitz is active in the efforts to educate the public that dental treatment is critically important to overall health and to advance healthy, mercury safe, and biocompatible dentistry. He is also a Charter Member of the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD) and a respected member of the renowned International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). When you visit his office, please let him know where you found out about him and say hello to him from me. Thanks!
