Dr. Berenstein, Thank you doesn’t even cover the gratitude I feel for you. 20 years ago I fought to live another day & by your miraculous mind & hands I not only got to see my kids grow up but now I have grandchildren. You are the very best & God bless you. May you always be there for those of us who desperately need you. Gratefully yours, J. Seminara

FOR THE PAST 22 YEARS I HAVE BEEN GRATEFUL EVERY DAY THAT I AM STILL HERE AND IT IS ALL DUE TO THE LIFE SAVING PROCEDURE I WENT THROUGH THAT WAS DONE BY THIS DOCTOR! I SUFFERED A CRANIAL ANEURYSM AND THIS DOCTOR DEVELOPED A PROCEDURE THAT AVOIDED BRAIN SURGERY. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND HIM. THANK YOU AGAIN, MRS PRISCILLA CALABRIA

Yes, we did have a long wait on our visit day. However, we travel a long distance to get to NY and the staff is always more than accommodating! They bend over backward to meet the special needs of my daughter and their communication with me is unsurpassed! Michelle and Dr. B are our heros! So thankful we are fortunate enough to receive their care!!!

Go somewhere else. There is no excuse for this, and shows a complete lack of respect for patients..Actually, it's now 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Dr. B & his entire staff are pure professionals. It took three surgeries to resolve an AVM in my head & I am grateful for that I had Dr. B. & team in my corner. They are the best at what they do. His staff, especially in the office, is simply incredible!

I am deeply greatful to Dr. Berenstein. First time he embolized me was at 1981 and Dr. Perskey made surgery the day after. I always remember them both with affection. I consider them in the top of what they do. Dr. Berenstein is excellent, after that year I went back to him from Puerto Rico 2 other ocasions. He always said that I was one of the persons he performed embolization procedure. Even thou I still have my malformation and I know I still will have to undergo some other treatment since my case is very rare I just want to say Thanks to my dear doctor.
