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 always refer other people to Dr Bernardo's office. My wife goes there. It is also great they have their own lab for blood draws etc. And the response time results are quick like the next day.

Horrible Doctor
I've been a patient of Dr Bernardo's for 2 years. I went to see him for my annual physical and maybe a sore throat in the winter. He seemed ok and quite honestly his office is close to my house so it was easy to go there. At my last physical he recommended a statin - my total cholesterol was 229, which isn't super high. He was really pushing the medication. I told him i needed to think about it and i would call him back if i wanted to get the prescription. At my wife's insistance i called back for the prescription. I called at least 4 times and i never got a call back from Dr Bernardo. I guess he doesn't make any money on phone calls. The office reassured me that he get my messages. I ended up going to another doctor, who assured me I did not need the statin. Go somewhere else. Dr Bernardo takes every insurance under the sun but he won't be there if you get really sick and you need care. He has plenty of negative reviews because they are well earned.

I have been seeing Dr Bernardo for many years. He has always been professional and competent. He identified several conditions that saved my life. Occasionally, the wait is long but not always

I am changing providers ASAP. Horrible visits every time I go. Likes to dilly-dally with refilling prescriptions. Also didn't like that I told him that flu shots are a scam. Avoid this practice at all costs unless you like sitting in a stuffy office for two hours, only to be seen for literally 10 minutes.

Competent, caring and out of the mold of the know-it-all physician. He has always been responsive to my complaints and never preaches.

One of the worst doctors and staff you will find. My mother who is 76 years old is a patient here. Every time we come, and we come on time for the scheduled appointment, it's hours before she gets in and hours waiting in the room. He doesn't pay attention to her complains, diss misses her easily but she has to get blood work from his associate lab. Not only that it took 4 visits and multiple phone calls to get her handicap placecard. She has bad arthritis and knee replacement but no signed app.

I started seeing Dr. Bernardo two years ago after recommendation from my friend. He spends more than average time a doctor spends with you discussing your concerns. I never feel rushed and feel confident with his abilities.
