Dr Bernado operated on my neck. I had no problems, I now need another surgery and would not want another surgeon to do the surgery.

I have seen Dr. Bernardo for back issues as well as for carpal tunnel problems. He has always treated me with respect and has patiently listened to my complaints. He is the ultimate professional who utilizes all non-surgical means possible before recommending surgery. He did successfully surgically correct my carpal tunnel syndrome; he also operated on my lumbar spine when I went to him with excruciating pain, unable to walk or sit comfortably. Following surgery, I felt like I could run a marathon!! His concern for his patients is the reason I will continue to see him for any other spine related issues.

Dr Bernardo was very highly recommended. He may be an excellent surgeon. However my husband has his first appt with him and his last. We had current MRI and all of his records. My husband is in alot of pain and and was trying to explain to his what was going on. He had not patience and horrible bedside manner. Told my husband he had a chip on his shoulder. Our appt was at 940 washed in waiting room over an hour, once in room we waited another hour before dr came in. Nurse and other staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be selling another doctor.

the staff was very nice and treated me with respect. not so with dr benardo, according to him I had no problems. I went to him for second opinion. He didn`t even see what the first doctor see on mri, which the first doctor showed me. He wouldn`t even look me in the eye, that is very upsetting to me. I was very upset at this appointment, you may have a different experience. I would not recommend this doctor.
