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.

Love this doctor
I live 3.5 hrs away yet still get laser treatments and line reduction from Dr Bernstein. I am 76 but don’t look my age thanks to the doctor. My husband had surgery for skin cancer by Dr Bernstein because we trust him.

Excellence!
I had a fairly extensive basal cell carcinoma in an ear lobe and inside the ear. Dr. Bernstein did an outstanding job in removing the basal cell and in follow up visits to monitor the healing. I would imaging the ear is a difficult place to do Moh's Surgery and I am grateful to have someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Dr. Bernstein. His staff is A+ professional and incredibly kind.

I had basal cell carcinoma on my cheek. As the face is a very delicate area to need surgery, I was quite nervous about getting Moh's Surgery. But Dr. Bernstein was absolutely excellent. The surgery was painless and the appearance of my cheek, after the recovery period, is normal. I recommend Dr. Bernstein. He is outstanding.

Dr. Bernstein did Moh's surgery for a basal cell on my forehead. He was very kind, and the nurses on his staff were so amazing. They explained everything at every stage, and I felt very well cared for. Some waiting is necessary due to the nature of the procedure, but everyone kept me updated throughout the process.

NJ – Oct 04, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bernstein?
Dr. Bernstein performed massive MOHS surgery, greatly exceeding the referring doctor's instructions His over-aggressive action resulted in the need for very large and difficult plastic surgery. He never mentioned the possible necessity of such surgery and completely failed to inform me with regard to possible alternative action. In addition, after having removed a major portion of my nose, Dr. Bernstein simply referred me to the plastic surgeon and never once ever inquired about my well-being.
