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

Very good experience. I do not like doctors but felt very comfortable. Thought I would need surgery but was successfully treated without surgery
Dr Bernstein has been helping me with carpal tunnel and some arthritis in my hands. I like to understand as much as I can and they have been very helpful in explaining things. I started seeing him years ago when my symptoms only required splinting and some injections instead of jumping into surgery. Since then the symptoms had gotten worse so I had my left wrist operated on. Dr Bernstein described the procedure and set expectations, the surgery was well organized and everything went well.
Dr. Bernstein is caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Knowledge and depth of the practice is most important, but he also brings a bed side manner that seems like he is caring for his own relative. It is also encouraging when a doctor is not seeking to rush to the knife. Thank you Dr. Bernstein
I found Doctor Bernstein to be knowledgeable and experienced, as well as, being concerned about my condition and in providing a positive outcome. He is also very detailed when explaining the options and their potential results.
My experience was excellent. Dr. Bernstein is very thorough and professional. My shoulder has recovered very well under his care. My expectations were exceeded. The staff and facility are great.
He is definitely a top expert in his specialty! He is professional and reassuring. I appreciate that he was transparent about the amount of time it would take for my tennis elbow to resolve and truthful about surgery not offering the best prognosis. Thank you Dr Bernstein!
I was there for a followup visit for carpal tunnel and I mentioned that my shoulder was hurting also. His reply: "I can schedule you for a visit to look at your shoulder." HUH? I only saw him for 5 minutes and he doesn't have time to look at my shoulder now? He didn't even offer to do a quick check. He always seems like he's in a hurry. He may be a competent surgeon but would you really want him for your doctor? I walked out, and I suggest you do, too.
Business response:
I am sorry that I was not able to accommodate you for a new problem at the date of your visit. We schedule patients based on followup and new visits. For a new visit, for a new problem we block an appropriate amount of time to do a proper evaluation. Though I cannot comment directly on that day, if there are patients waiting with scheduled appointments, I try the best I can to stay on time. If you had called before hand we could have let you know if we could have arranged the time.
Dr. Bernstein has changed my life. I had carpal tunnel in my right hand, and I waited too long to consult a doctor and developed nerve damage in my hand. My symptoms were creating difficulties and limitations in my life. Dr. Bernstein performed Carpal Tunnel Release surgery for me, and now my hand is normal and strong and symptom free. He has an excellent bedside manner. I trust his expertise with the utmost of confidence. I would highly recommend Dr. Bernstein to anyone with this problem.
Dr. Bernstein is one of the best doctors I have ever seen! His office staff is professional, friendly, supportive and clearly explained the procedure and what to expect. Dr. Bernstein performed carpal tunnel surgery on both my left and right hands. Pain and numbness is gone! He has my highest gratitude, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for the best hand specialist there is.
