Dr. Bernstein and his team are absolutely wonderful. I'm a medical professional, and the team was able to communicate with me on a level that respected and enhanced my knowledge of my condition. We worked together to find a solution to my issue, and we were able to quickly schedule a procedure to remedy it. Dr. Bernstein's empathy and skill are unmatched.
