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.

Did NOT do a thing for me. They handed me forms to fill and no explanation how to fill them out.I’m thinking of dumping him and choosing another doctor.

Spent 5 minutes with me on an initial consultation. Billed my insurer a 45-59 minute consultation. Had not read my CT scan report before meeting me despite it being noted on his intake form. The office and examination room were not clean.

Excellent care and diagnosis
Dr. Bernie was recommended to me by my general practitioner and Dr. Bernie and his staff provided excellent care. He checked everything to ensure that it was functioning normally, and instructed me on how to take care of my medical condition. His first diagnosis worked and on the second visit with additional tests told me that I was fine and should see him once again in a year. I wish all doctors were as friendly and helpful as Dr. Bernie.

Visit for a Sonogram
I was very pleased with my visit to Dr. Bernie. His is a knowledgeable physician who is caring and concerned about his patients. He was recommended to me by two friends who had serious conditions. The young ladies in the office were also very patient as I complained about the long wait in the waiting room. Therefore, I will meet with him for checkups about my health issues and I would definitely recommend him to others.

The Best in the Business
I Dr. Bernie is the best in the business. A skilled surgeon who takes into account the entire patient. He is a good guy, approachable and extremely thorough in his diagnosis process laying out all treatment options. No surprise that he is consistently rated as one of CT’s Top Docs.

During my initial consultation with Dr. Jonathan Bernie I was immediately put at ease. He answered all my questions, explained the necessary preop labs, and the surgical procedure. Dr. Bernie allotted me sufficient time to fully process the information. On the day of surgery Dr. Bernie spoke with me during preop. At my follow-up appointment he addressed my postop questions, and I always felt that he was present, genuinely listening to my concerns without my being rushed.

Dr. Bernie is a very professional doctor. My husband and I have total confidence in Dr. Jonathan Bernie. My husband had a prostate issue and I also had an issue that we both had to see the doctor on. My neighbor recommended Dr. Bernie to us over a year ago, and are we glad he did. Also, my primary care doctor recommended Dr. Bernie to us. Dr. Bernie makes you feel comfortable talking to him and he helped my husband with the decision to have the prostate taken care of. I highly recommend him.
