Dr. Bernstein is a warm, approachable doctor who was very patient explaining every step of his process. Both funny and medically very articulate. I’d go back in a second!

I am using Dr. Bernstein for years. I recommended so many people to him who were happy. Nothing is a big deal for him. I just had something near my eye removed and he made it so simple. His staff is very nice and they are also very capable in giving the injections. I highly recommend him.

I went to Dr Bernstein to remove tags and warts from my skin. He was professional and friendly. His nurses were also very well versed in what they had to do.

I have seen Dr.Bernstein on two occassions and was extremely happy with his work. He is very accurate takes his time. He filled my acne scars with juverderm and did an awsome job I look very natural with no more pitted scars. Thank you Dr. For giving me my confidence back.

More importantly, competent and professional. His work is excellent and I only come back to him for an occasional. Flare up of my condition when an artery breaks on to the surface of my skin.

Dr. Bernstein performed a Mohs surgery on my eyelid to remove basal cell cancer. He could not have been kinder, more reassuring, or more professional. He took time to explain the procedure and repeatedly asked if I was feeling ok throughout it. One of the best doctors I've ever seen.
