Super doctor great guy. It’s nice to have a doctor that is willing to explain his diagnosis where an average person can understand.
He was patient and answered my questions. Caring and took time listening to me.
Dr. B is the best! Appreciate the approach and style - always on his game.
Dr Bernstein really cares for his patients, he listens and understands. I strongly recommend him to everyone who is looking for a great physician
A really great Doctor I have been one of his patients for 18 years
I love my doctor!
Dr. Bernstein is great. His staff is great too. He called me at home in the afternoon to tell me about a dangerous blood test reading I had and arranged for me to get a prescription that day. The labs are taken at his office so no need to go to a different facility. He refers me for annual tests at providers near my home which I appreciate. There's easy access to his office and plenty of parking. No long wait times either. Follow up visits can be done via video which I also appreciate.
Great Dr!!
Dr. Bernstein has a very pleasant demeanor and took time to explain everything. It is very evident that he care about his patients.
I am very comfortable with Dr. Bernstein.
