I had a 4 level cervical fusion & bone spurs removed in June at 36yrs old. When I came to Dr Bernard for my second opinion I was scared & not sure what I had to look forward to or expect from this surgery. Dr Bernard had the best bedside manor & helped put my mind at ease. I can not say enough good things about Dr Bernard & his team!! I am feeling much better after surgery & things are going great! Dr Bernard is an excellent surgeon the best in my opinion I would recommend him to anyone!!

Dr. Bernard and all of his staff have been so amazing. After suffering from multiple back surgeries locally, I was sent him to replace my stimulator. Also I fell, ruptured a disc and he fixed that and just the past December, 2016 he did an out patient surgery fixing a small disc issue that fixed what was hurting. He is caring, efficient and makes sure surgery is what you need before he takes that route. So thankful for him! And his nurse ??

We were not allowed to see him. We had to see his PA Mike who belittled my daughter who has suffered from a bad back for 3 years. He told her it wasn't her back, but her hip, and that his daughter has had a bad back for 5 years with no resolution... Who cares!! We had already seen an orthopedist who ordered a lumbar MRI. He told me to let his assistant Amanda know when the MRI and he would look at it. I told her when it was done, and NEVER heard back from him.
