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 have been a patient of Dr Bernardi since 1994. Recently I needed to see him again. His NP Stephanie was so pushy and a poor listener to the point That I’m having to now find a different neurosurgeon which is terribly scary when you are already nervous from the start. I sincerely hope HE sees this.

I have severe back pain. I've struggled for 2 yrs with no resolve. Dr Bernardi was fantastic upon 1st visit. He ordered an MRI because he wasn't pleased with the 4 I had ALREADY paid for in the last 2 yrs. his PA called me and ordered ANOTHER SI Injection. The injection did nothing. I called to follow up and was told by the PA "there is nothing wrong with your back." "Get another injection." "Sorry, not sure what to tell you." I paid for a dr, not a PA. My pain isn't coming from no where!

Dr. Bernardi did my cervical surgery 10 years ago. I have had 5 cervical surgeries, but none have come close to excellent results and care I got from Dr. Bernardi. I can sincerely say I am devastated that he no longer takes my insurance. I continue to check over the years when I have had to have repeated surgeries. Best experience I've had for a difficult time. Highly, highly recommended.

We found Dr. Bernardi to be conservative regarding surgery, competent, professional, personable, and very helpful during post-op and healing. His staff was my lifeline from first call through post-op. Had two lumbar surgeries 5 months apart, 2009-10. Excellent results. Outpatient-same day. Barnes West Hospital excellent.

A well-known/respected surgical group in STL recommended a fusion for the pain that occurred in my leg & hip when standing or walking. Dr. Bernardi felt it could be eliminated with a much less drastic outpatient surgery. Within days of my appointment, I received his report explaining the findings we had discussed during the visit (very helpful). I had surgery 3 weeks ago. It went very well and I am pain free. I am so thankful that I learned about Dr. Bernardi & am grateful for his skills.

Will not recommend. Pain never went away after 5 yrs after L5/S1 fusion and still searching for a physician who can do minimally invasive repair. Still have pain every day and dumbness in my leg. He did not have good patient manners, either.

Excellent surgeon. Two 1/2 years ago I was walking with a walker & having great pain in lower back. I felt relief from the pain immediately after surgery & even stopped to eat at a restaurant on the way home that same day.
