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.

Excellent Doctor
I never mind going to see Dr. Bernstein. His office is friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. The doctor is kind and attentive and has actually become my favorite doc.

Such a rude doctor. Really arrogant, does not know how to be courteous whatsoever. You've been in the field for how long and this is how you treat your patients? Grow up. Be thankful for what you have, but God forbid you help anyone else with the attitude and no sense of compassion you have. Please people, I understand times are tough and want the best care, but there are many other options than going to this arrogant fool. Please look elsewhere.

I had a heart attack at 6:58 am and 911 ambulance, Desert Regional Hospital and Dr. Bernstein got a stent into my coronary artery promptly. This probably saved cardiac function and my future health. Desert Regional wasted no time on administrative chores but got me promptly to the cath lab. I appreciate everyone's organization and logistics in this medical crisis. Monte S. Buchsbaum, M.D.

Dr. Bernstein has the worst bedside manners I've ever experienced. He belittles the patient, patient's family, and the hospital staff. He is rude and arrogant. I would not recommend him to anyone! If you require cardiac care, go somewhere else. I cannot speak for his office or staff, experience was (thankfully) limited to Desert Regional Medical Center.

Dr. Bernstein is a hot head and makes very poor medical decisions regarding his patients. He makes false accusations without merit.
