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.

My experience with Dr. Bern has been great. He is thoroughly professional and explains everything in plain English. I highly recommend him. Merrill M.

Dr. Bruce Bern has literally saved my vision twice. He not only has a comprehensive knowledge of the eye, even outside his specialties, but a wisdom and perspective that can be critical in making responsible treatment recommendations. I have unreservedly recommended him to my wife and close friends.

This doctor is very judgmental of his patients. Assumes that you are lying to him and can not fathom that you may be healthy even with a few extra pounds. I will never return to this provider. This shaming of patients is pretty on trend with this provider.

I have been seeing Dr. Bern as my ophthalmologist for a decade, and I have always been extremely satisfied with his care including cataract surgery in both eyes. Dr. Bern takes time with his patients, and he has always been happy to spend time answering any questions. I recommend him and his professional staff without reservation.
