I have been a patient since coming to SA in 2016. The first thing I liked about Dr. B was his ability to really listen which then lead to his ability to diagnose. He's still the same, listens with interest, disects my conversation and really hears what needs to be heard. He has kept me on track in this journey of health and wellness.
Dr Bernstein really covers your total health profile and take a personal interest in your health!
Words would be hard to find to describe how much I love these people!!!’nm
Wry complete and shows an interest in improving my health.
Been my doctor for years. Very professional and understanding..
Always friendly, genuinely interested, and helpful, and interested in my needs.
Dr. B is a very friendly person, listens well and explains fully what he's talking about. He's attentive and ask direct questions. So far, I've enjoyed our interactions. I feel like he has my best interest at heart.
Recently moved to Dr Bernstein after my previous PCP sold their practice. Why didn’t I move earlier! I appreciate Dr. Bernstein’s thoroughness with covering all the bases during my appointment and making great use of the time dedicated to my visit. It has been a very long time where I’ve felt like my physician actually listens, cares and is invested in me as a patient. I left not feeling rushed out of the there, it’s been a while where I’ve had a PCP actually spend more than 10 minutes during my appointment. Dr Bernstein covered all the bases and more. His support staff was wonderful, warm and friendly. I’m glad to have established a new PCP and medical home.
Dr Bernstein is so nice to talk to and he listens to your concerns.
