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.

Dr. Debernardo did my hysterectomy surgery & found endometrial cancer. He was very pleasant & I trusted him completely. He explained the surgery using a hand drawn diagram. He suggested I spend the night since it included vaginal reconstruction. Everything went as planned. Since I have returned for a check up & everything is excellent. I do not go to the doctor unless I have to. I would recommend him without hesitation. Very competent, explains everything & understanding. I would give him more than 5 stars!

Dr DeBernardo has no peers.
Dr DeBernardo is an astute diagnostician and gifted surgeon. He has no peers. He saved my life. He is also a kind doctor and answers all questions patiently. How blessed I am to have been referred to him, found him, and how blessed I am to live in NE Ohio.

I am a patient of Dr. Robert Debernardo. When I found out that I had endometrial cancer, I was sent for surgery to Dr. Debernardo. After my initial meeting, I knew I would be in the best hands. He took his time to thoroughly explain everything and put my mind at ease. My family members that met him were impressed by his genuine concern for his patients. As a surgeon, Dr. Debernardo has been blessed with such skilled hands. My family was surprised at how nicely and quickly I recovered. Doctor's Nurse Practitioner, Suzanne, is amazing. Her personality is wonderful and she has helped whenever I needed her. I am sure Dr. Debernardo's entire staff is excellent, as that is the way he would have it. I am so thankful that I was put into his excellent care!

Dr. DeBernardo is an excellent gyne oncologist and surgeon. He is brilliant, reassuring, confident and compassionate. When I heard ovarian cancer diagnosis, I was so afraid. I went to Dr. DeBernardo for a second opinion. He discussed options, his recommendations and I knew I was in good hands. He did my surgery and I healed well!! Then he advised which chemo and how much. I am now in surveillance. My husband says, “He’s the man!!” because that’s how safe and secure he makes his patients and family members feel. His staff is awesome also — inpatient and in the office. He’s the best in the U.S for gynecology cancers!!!
