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.

I have known Dr B since he did a fellowship at the VA hospital in Northport. He is the best primary Dr as well as pulmonologist I have Ever known. Now living in Fl and still looking for a Dr who measures even half as efficient, knowledgeable and caring as he is.

Dr. Bernardini is a rare phician. He cares about your health. He will spend time with you, not rush out to another exam room. John Hopkins trained . You couldn’t find a better doctor!

My husband and I had been seeing dr b for many years. Since he sold Out to northwell he has become a different person. He is very abrupt and does not listen to the patient. After sitting with my husband at his visits we find that he treats his men and women patients differently. Think he is burned out!

Dr. Bernardini is one of the most intelligent and caring doctors I have ever been treated by. He spends as much time as necessary to listen and to answer any questions. I feel confident that I am receiving the best care possible and highly recommended him to anyone looking for wonderful primary care doctor and/or pulmonologist.

had been an admiring patient for several years. that's over. he has become brash and abrupt. no less than a 45 minute (or more) for him to come into the exam room. the office is overrun with help that bump into one another and are usually unpleasant. they barely look at you even if you stand right in front of them--at the reception. obviously i am no longer his patient.

I would never recommend this practice. Recently I was driving and started getting chest pain. Fearing a pulmonary embolism, I went to Dr. Bernardini's office (their phones said they were at lunch). The secretary said that I could be seen in 1 week by a nurse or 4 weeks by Dr. Bernardini. I asked if I could speak with him, or get a CT scan lab slip, and was told no. But she said that I could send the results to them if I went to the ER. I could have died, and they refused any help.

My mother and father had been seeing Dr Bernardini for almost 30 years! My mom has dementia now and Dr Bernardini treats my mother as if she were his own! He takes his time with her, & is gentle and compassionate. The office staff as well as the assistants are all gentle, sweet and kind, a Marcus Welby experience. My daughter and I are now hiss patients as well. I know we are all in great capable hands. He is very committed & dedicated. I would be at a real loss without him!

A good doctor, but he and I never quite clicked. I saw his PA for a few years because it was easier to get an appointment and have since moved on, but I have to say whenever he saw me he would always say hi and the staff in the office are all very nice. Just not the right match.

I had a severe flare-up of a chronic respiratory condition and called for an appt. The only date they offered was 5 months from the date that I called. I explained that I needed immediate care, but they insisted I would have to wait 5 mos. Since my condition was recurring, I took the appt and went elsewhere for immediate attention. When I went to the appt 5 months later, they told me the doctor had taken the day off, and the earliest date they offered to reschedule was another 2 months later.
