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. Bernal is so nice and caring. Definitely a judge-free zone. Staff is great!

Really rude and unprofessional. You will not get the care you need, instead you will feel judged by this petty man. Dr Bernal should really leave the field

Very caring and took time to diagnose my son. I disagree with the negative reviews. He’s up front if he feels he is not qualified to help you he will say so. I like a doctor that will say it as it is.

At 9 years old, my son has seen more doctors than most. Many are quick to put him in a box and label him with a "one size fits all" diagnosis. Dr. Bernal is the exception. He sits down with my son- he speaks with him, he listens to him. He understands him. Most importantly, he is a kind and patient man. Dr. Bernal has done more for my son (and my family) in one year than all the other doctors combined. He also takes time out to explain (to me) what my son is working through in a way I can und

I saw him from aprx 9/2016 - 1/2017 and will never step foot in his office again. Like others, I came in at an incredibly vulnerable time with a long history of trauma and got the same speech regarding his inability to help. He ultimately agreed to see me on a "trial basis." Each appt I left feeling more broken. It seems like he cherrypicks his cases (which is allowed in private practice), but if you need anything more than a med management appt for depression every 6 months, look elsewhere.

This man is extremely rude. If you don't have any actual trauma meaning ANY ptsd, or sexual abuse DO NOT GO TO THIS MAN. He is very careless and JUDGMENTAL. I was severely injured at 13, and have had other things happen, and not only was I judged HE SAID he wasn't COMPETENT to care or help me. Called me hopeless and said HE CHOOSES WHO HE TREATS. now would someone going for help be hopeless I have a college education, I am a young mother just trying to survive. thanksfor the insecurities.
