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.

Cold and Demeaning
I was referred to Dr. Andrew Bernstein after a car accident. He was to help fix a facial fracture. Once again, I was referred to him. He treated me like I walked in off of the street begging him for mercy. He came in and it was clear that he had the mindset of not doing the surgery. He spoke in a very demeaning manner, explaining to me and my wife how one can survive breathing without 100% clearance in their nostrils. I had a fracture, my nose was displaced and I was still dealing with a concussion. I notified my family doctor who reached out to their team and denied the request for surgery that Bernstein sent because in his words he would “Submit requests and do the surgery if I felt that I absolutely had to have it”. My face was broken. My family doctor passed on his request, got together a team of fully compassionate and capable doctors, and got me taken care of immediately. I would not recommend this man unless you walk in with an open checkbook.

I was kept waiting approximately one hour, during which time, three different women--a resident and two that I assume were nurses--came into the exam room and took information from me. Dr. Berstein himself spent only about five minutes with me and suggested I see a cosmetic dermatologist.

Great surgeon. Straight forward answers with confidence. Gave me my life back after a long struggle with a stage 4 pressure wound. Nice guy. Staff at St. Mary’s always friendly and compassionate.
