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.

Very Professional and capeable
Dr Bernadino is extremely capeable and a brilliant surgeon. While he is highly skilled, knowledgeable and professional, he is caring and listens to his patients concerns. My case was impeccable; there were no complications and I am healing well. I highly recommend him.

Dr Bernardino performed orbital decompression on my eye in 2003 and 2004. I never thought they would function the same ever again. Hah! I sit here today without the eye protrusion. No issues with my eyes at all (normal wear and age excluded). He was awesome! I’d fly to California from Georgia if I need the care again!

The care and professionalism I received from Dr. Bernardino and his surgery team was high quality. There was a no nonsense efficiency from the team headed by the doctor, that comes with knowing what you're doing and doing it well. If you have questions, come with them because Dr. Bernardino does not coddle. His manner may be a little brusk, but he is a doctor first and foremost. I would trust Dr. Bernardino again.

Dr. Bernardino operated on me to correct my dry eyes as well as one droopy eyelid. Both corrections were successful. Eyelids track each other and the dry eyes are gone. Can unequivically recommend Dr. Bernardino. We are lucky to have this skilled surgeon in our locality. The office staff was excellent as well.

Horrible doctor. Botched uneven ptosis surgery. Incredible pain, but he doesn't care. Beware, go somewhere else. Others on Yelp had bad surgeries by him.
