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.

As a patient of Dr. Bernstein, she is first rate.
Prompt, listen, then suggests solutions I had not thought of. Livia, MA., gathers data from me to deliver to Dr. Bernstein. Important step for patient clarity. On Feb. 12 we discussed my severe sun damage for best healing. Also previous visit concerns and progress. I was comfortable leaving her office, having the knowledge and care I needed.

Excellent doctor
Dr. Bernstein listened to my concerns, explained what she thought would be the best solution, and assured me that any time I had a concern or worry about something that I noticed, to come in. I was very impressed with her professionalism and her kindness.

Without going into too much detail, Dr. Bernstein not only made important diagnoses, but recognized issues outside of her field. She made a referral to another specialist, who diagnosed and treated a potentially life-threatening condition. She's really terrific and professional!

in spite of having terrible challenges reaching this practice by phone dr b akkayed my concerns i also told her that the newly prescribed medications for blethera have been working after years of no relief i feel completely confident that dr b will guide me through the remaining years of healthcare dermatological in the spirit and competence set forth by dr goldin and the practice he created over the years....if my other physicians were as well mannered and kind and frankly competent as dr b I would be a much calmer and healthier person.

Transferred my care to Dr. Bernstein after being with a different dermatologist for 10 years. On my first visit with Dr. Bernstein she addressed an area on my forehead that had dry skin for years and had not been addressed. Dr. Bernstein immediately diagnosed the area with precanerous lessions on and has treated the area. Very happy with her care and would recommend her.
