About this business

The most important aspect of treating disorders of the hand and upper extremity is making an accurate diagnosis and then instituting the most conservative, least invasive and effective treatment algorithm. Most patients I see do NOT require surgery and can be cured with simple measures. I employ a team of nurses and cetified hand therapists all of whom share the goal of obtaining the best outcome we can, and returning our patients to work and play effectively and quickly

Dr Bernstein was excellent. He operated on my finger. He was very informative on what he was going to do and very reassuring on the outcome of the surgery. He has excellent communication skills and always made me feel comfortable. My surgery was a success thanks to Dr Bernstein. I would highly recommend Dr Bernstein 

Business response:

Ed, Thanks for allowing me the privilege of caring for you. Glad to know you are doing well. Thanks for the kind comments. Rich Bernstein

I have seen Dr. Bernstein over the last 15 years for many issues and he has always been professional, kind and competent! I just saw him last week for a trigger finger issue and he was again wonderful and I'm happy to say I am 100% healed! 

Business response:

CBV, Thanks for taking the time to write in. Though Orthopaedic care is usually for one issue, it is my pleasure and honor to take care of patients for multiple issues over the years. Rich Bernstein

Dr. Bernstein performed two surgeries on my hands to release my trigger fingers. At all times he was professional, knowledgeable and concerned for my comfort taking time to explain the procedure and recovery. I would absolutely recommend him for hand-related issues.

DR. BERNSTEIN IS A GREAT AND FUNNY DOCTOR. I HAD CARPAL TUNNEL SURGERY ON BOTH HANDS AS DR. BERNSTEIN SUGGESTED THAT I DO AND I'M GLAD I DID IT. I FEEL GREAT. HE DID A WONDERFUL JOB. I TELL ALL MY CO-WORKERS THAT ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THEIR HANDS TO GO SEE DR. BERNSTEIN. THANKS AGAIN

I had a nasty softball injury (at age 55). Dr Bernstein was my second opinion after the first doctor I saw wanted to fuse the joint on the middle finger of my dominant hand. Dr Bernstein's choice was more radical--rebuilding the joint, but I am typing this with a functioning finger! His manner is kind and approachable, which is great, but he's also a great surgeon who will go the extra mile to get the best result for his patients.

Dr. Bernstein performed Basal Thumb Joint Reconstruction . He did an outstanding job. Dr. Bernstein's personality is comforting and knowledgeable. I had complete confidence in the procedure and the skill of my surgeon. He is also extremely nice and very clear on what is to be done and what you need to do for aftercare. I was very comfortable with the entire process. The doctor's PT was also outstanding. I would recommend Dr, Bernstein to my family and friends without reservation. 

Business response:

It has been my pleasure taking care of you, thanks for the kind comments.
