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.

Horrible
As the other person here put it. She is nasty, patronizing, uncaring, and barely listened to what I was trying to explain as regards to my condition. For gods sake she did not even introduce herself! Melissa L. Bernbaum is the Worst of the Worst and a Disgrace to the medical community. I would recommend pretty much ANYONE over her. Northwell is known to be pretty bad, but I had high hopes. Lol now I know to avoid anything Northwell.

Dr. Bernbaum is awesome; when our daughters neurologist retired, we were so scared, but Dr. Bernbaum not only assured us with a kind bedside manner, she was able to quickly understand the medical issues and concerns we had. What a find she is. We feel so lucky to have her. If you allowed it, I would give her 6 stars

Dr. Bernbaum is an awesome doctor in her respective field. I had my ADD diagnosed through extensive testing, and now am being treated. I believe she is very respectful of her patients and the facilities for testing she recommended fit well with my insurance and were all near one another! Her ability to keep all factors in mind before making a decision is what really makes me rate 5/5. Thank you again.
