Dennis Bernardo, MD

I've been a patient of Dr Bernardo's for 2 years. I went to see him for my annual physical and maybe a sore throat in the winter. He seemed ok and quite honestly his office is close to my house so it was easy to go there. At my last physical he recommended a statin - my total cholesterol was 229, which isn't super high. He was really pushing the medication. I told him i needed to think about it and i would call him back if i wanted to get the prescription. At my wife's insistance i called back for the prescription. I called at least 4 times and i never got a call back from Dr Bernardo. I guess he doesn't make any money on phone calls. The office reassured me that he get my messages. I ended up going to another doctor, who assured me I did not need the statin. Go somewhere else. Dr Bernardo takes every insurance under the sun but he won't be there if you get really sick and you need care. He has plenty of negative reviews because they are well earned.
