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.

I love their professionalism and their friendliness!

Dr. Bernasek saw me today in reference to a strained muscle. Dr. Bernasek always takes his time to explain everything to you and you never feel rushed. Not only is he a great surgeon but he also has great bedside manners. Dr. Bernasek replaced my hip last year and it is doing great. I would highly recommend him and I will use him again should a need arise.

Bad Hips
The doctor replaced both hips. One hip and leg is shorter than the other. My back now hurts very bad all the time from walking with this condition.

Smith & Nephew BHR Hip Removal and Replacement
Dr. Bernasek is a wonderful and excellent hip surgeon with great bedside manners. I had a unique situation in which I had bilateral Smith and Nephew BHR Hip resurfacing replacements installed in 2010. The one installed in my left hip started to fail (after 13 years). I was starting to get groin pain again like when my original hip failed combined with a high metals and chromium count in my blood. ( A condition known as Metalosis.) After calling many qualified Hip Surgeons in the area, Dr. Bernasek was the only one who would even consider operating on me. Other Docs would not touch me because the original BHR hip replacements were not installed by them. So, after several appointments with Dr. B, I had full confidence that he had the right amount of experience replacing this joint! He also went the extra mile in explaining the work he was going to perform. The Bottom Line is all WENT PERFECT with Surgery & Recovery! Dr. Bernasek, his staff and Tampa Hospital are FANTASTIC!!!!

Dr Bernasek was very knowledgeable and informed me what needed to be done to correct my knee issue. I am happy that we are going to start with the partial replacement but if need be we will go for the whole knee. He is also very kind which is a positive to me.
