Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing service
The care and service Dr. Bernstein gives his patients is amazing. He provides a comfortable environment for his patients and I would recommend anyone to his office.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Bernstein for the past 8 months and I’ve been very impressed, thankful and grateful on how he treated me. I’ve been very satisfied on how I recovered after surgery and the management after surgery. Can’t thank him enough.

Dr Bernstein review
Dr Bernstein was kind and informative, he really covered things you don't always see in the X-rays. I felt he was confident in his diagnosis of my injury and recommend him to anyone with similar injuries in the joints and tendons.

Please, do not go here and waste your time. Seriously, he'll never see you. Kimberly, you are the most inconsiderate, unprofessional, and negligent person I've ever had the misfortune to speak to. Thank for never returning any of my calls, messages, and for constantly ignoring my number when I called the office. SHAME ON YOU. When she finally decided to return my call (2 months later), she had the absolute audacity to raise her voice at me. Dr. Bernstein, your staff needs to do better. It's truly a shame, because you're a great doctor and I used to respect this office, but I will never try seeing you again.
