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.

Dr. Bernstein has performed carpel tunnel surgery on my right hand with excellent results. He very patiently made sure I understood exactly what the surgery entailed. I am not scheduled for surgery on my left carpel tunnel problem which also will extend to my left trigger thumb and the nerve in my elbow which is causing two fingers on my hand to be numb. I am very confident of the same excellent results as the former surgery.

Dr. Bernstein is an incredibly good doctor. He explains things in a way that is easily understood by the general population. He does not rush during office visits and is very patient with questions. He has done three surgeries on me and I am very pleased with the results.

I would not recommend this nasty person, to my worst enemy. He was rude condescending, preoccupied, over confident and had very little interest in anything I had to say. I put of further diagnostics of my hand as I was so fearful to go back to this clinic. He knew the healing of my injury was not right, and yet chased me out of his office being loud raising his voice at me and treating me like a stepchild instead of a patient. I would never go back to this monster.

He is interested only in your $ Not welfare of his clients. He let my husband go for 18 months without a shoulder evaluation that we desperately needed and kept ignoring that my husband was telling him he was in extreme shoulder pain. he also ignored that my husband was not having feeling in a lrg part of his hand blaming it on diabetic neuropathy when tested it turned out to be severely pinched ulnar nerve in the elbow which was definitely in the range of his specialty. He simply ignored it
