Dr. David Ted Bernhardt, MD

I had bilateral stress fractures in my L4, and he was great at a timely diagnosis and creating a rehab and rest plan. He truly worked wonders!

Our experience, was positive at first. But due to his neglect to examine my wonderful husband after a Collapse , due to the lack of strength in his leg. Termed us over to PT, obviously not ready for rehab. Gave him a walker and sent us on our way. There’s more - I called and reported continued issues, and lots of pain. Wanted a referral and better Doctor who can work with Seniors. They sent us to our Primary Care physician !!! Now 2 months later, again asked for reference, and the next day my husband ended up in the ER , by ambulance, and couldn’t continue to walk. Now after ten days , 2 Surgery’s. My husband is looking forward to more hospitalization, rehab . Our Surgery Orthopedic Doctor at UW, told me he couldn’t see why it took so long to have this addressed! That’s our agonizing experience, I hope he makes it he’s only 67- and in very good health prior to this neglected care!??

after a procedure was told to get back to him within a week, well we did an 3 weeks later we have not even had an acknowlegement that he received our emails or gotten a phone call back. we are trying to schedule surgery, but halfway thru summer still not sure when and what we are doing...

This guy is completely uninformed. He told a high level athlete their career was over, while the surgeon in charge of the case said it was not. This guy didn't even know what surgery was going to be done, yet was giving the athlete details about a completely different procedure.I wonder how many athletic careers this guy has ruined? If he tells you not to do sports anymore, do not listen to him. Get a second opinion.

An amazing doctor--wonderful with adolescents
