Dr Bernard is wonderful when it comes to patient care. I trust him, and he always minimizes pain if I need to get a needle. And the staff are great too.

He is a great doctor, unfortunately scheduling seems to be a problem. On my last appointment his office rescheduled on me 3 times. Each time I would rearrange my work calendar only to have them call me a couple days later to tell me he would be out of the office that day as well. He splits his time between so many offices that he has no convenient hours at a location I can reach in under an hour.

I was seen right on time and Dr. Barnard was very helpful and explained things in a way that I could understand completely even though I had a very complicated problem. I did not feel rushed at all. Everyone in the office is nice and professional. I would recommend Dr. Barnard

Dr. Barnard was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. The tests his staff performed were clear as to the result, and he gave me good and clear advice for caring for my condition. He was patient and answered all my questions completely (I had more than a few). He neither talked down to me nor talked over my head. The visit ended when I was ready to go. His staff were of above-average competence; they knew their stuff about the eye (again, I asked them plenty of questions) and were friendly and easy to deal with. They did the tests professionally and with good consideration to my discomfort at having my eyes dropped, illuminated, etc. Everyone treated me with respect, and they respected my time as well. I will go to him again, and recommend him to friends and family if the need arises.

Dr. Barnard is a very good doctor. Sometimes he seems a little rushed but I never felt that I was given anything but top-notch care. He is really good at explaining things

Dr. Barnard is a great doctor who specializes in the retina. I have a very rare condition and had seen other doctors who didn't know what I had. Dr. Barnard diagnosed me correctly immediately and gave me the right treatment and was able to stop my vision loss. Excellent doctor

Dr. Barnard is a specialist in the retina. His staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Barnard diagnosed my problem where two previous specialists could not. He is easy to talk to and very caring.
