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.

Stay away! Went for a general check up and one of his 20 year old doc submitted over 20 tests to be done that i didn't need nor was covered by my insurance. After i called aetna multiple times to have the bill appealed they sent me a letter noting that they no longer can "serve me as my physician" scam!

Dr. Bernstein takes great care of his patients. I recommend all my friends to see him. He got me off medication that I was taking for many years and I feel great. Very efficient and nice office staff.

On the two occasions I came to see Dr. Bernstein he was very dismissive and seemed utterly uninterested in seeing me. He does not speak English well and does not explain things, but he was certainly quick to order additional services to be paid, however. I do not recommend this doctor.

I am very pleased with the service I received in Dr. Bernstein office. He is an amazing doctor who is very caring and answers all my questions. He takes his time and I never feel rushed. His staff is one of the best staffs I have ever seen working in a doctors office. They are all very professional, considerate and are extremely helpful. I never wait a long time and if the doctor is running behind his staff always apologizes for the wait. Highly recommend this office.

Doctor is great, but his staff isn't. Horrible customer service, they just refuse to do anything unless you ask doctor directly. Reception isn't able to properly direct and advise on process and steps. Office manager (blond woman) rude and unprofessional, two other receptionists try to be helpful but listen to their office manager's directions. Staff needs to be trained and be more attentive to patients's needs.

Awful service, took nurses about 35 minutes to take the blood, also you might get a bill for services that you didn't need or requested. Customer service people on the phone are rude and uneducated. Never going back to that office.
