My name is Dina R and I have been a MS patient of Dr. Berkovich for over 16 years. She is an excellent diagnostician, doctor and person. Dr. Berkovich does her research and provides up to the minute medical advice, with not only medical tests, pharmaceuticals but possible orthopedic devises, exercise etc. After all these years, I am still mobile and active. I credit Dr. Berkovich with my health and progress. I highly recommend her to any and all who either believe that they may have Multiple Sclerosis and have been diagnosed and want a second opinion. Dr Berkovich is well above the curve as a Neurologist who treats MS.

I feel immeasurably grateful to be in Dr Berkovich's care. She is a brilliant physician, clinician and researcher, and has wonderful bedside manner. I have been seeing Dr. B. for the past 4 years and recommend her with highest regards. I trust her implicitly. She always goes above and beyond to be sure I am taken care of. From visiting me in the hospital outside of her clinic, to day-to-day things like prescription refills, appointments, dealing with insurance etc - her clinic is absolutely the best!

Every time I see her I learn something new, and I can see her passion is fueled by her desire to help her patients. She is really amazing!
Frequently Asked Questions About Regina Berkovich MD, PhD Inc. MS Neurology
Is it really necessary to start long term MS medication if I am feeling OK?
In brief - Yes. All recent success in improving long term prognosis of MS patients is to large degree resulting from the long term disease-modifying treatment, which means disease get modified in a favorable way
Does it matter which disease-modifying treatment for MS I am on? I prefer the safest with the least side effects....
It matters a great deal. Once you are on any therapy, we need to make sure it is working! Sometimes they don’t, and this is why you can see therapies being switched to meet the needs. Frequently we may see some signs indicating that particular therapy may work better for individual patient - even before it gets started. You can save a lot if time and effort by following professional advice, although even then efficacy and safety of therapy will need to be monitored. This is why we need to see you periodically, communicate with you and get MRIs as needed.
I get my DMT (Disease modifying therapy) for some time now; I wonder - is my current condition is really the best I can feel?”
In order to address this question in the most comprehensive way, you need to see an MS specialist - and preferably the one who has experience using many different DMTs and therefore has professional insight on how they may compare to each other. In clinical research DMTs rarely enter head-to-head comparison trials, especially if they are of similar efficacy. Any two “high efficacy” DMTs really never got scientifically compared. Usually a new DMT tends to get compared to the older and arguably “weaker” one. This is why real MS practice - professional expertise of your MS doctor is a key.
