Would not go back to anyone else. He removed my son's brain cyst and he's had no issues since (5 years ago). I had back surgery done and a little over a year later I ran a half marathon. I am looking at having disc replacement done now and hope to have him complete it.

Dr. Bernard is a good doctor but yhe office staff is awfull. They are rude, don't respond to questions and treat patients like they are a major inconvenience. Check out the ratings of Dr. Cohen, a patner in this office, and you will see sinilar comments.

This doctor has such out dated surgery procedures that I would never see him again. If your discs aren't bad enought to remove and replace he is worthless. He can't help me because he doesn't know how. Go to the Back Institute of California if you want a real neurosergeon with non-tramatic procedures to help relieve pain and get you walking again. My sister went there and I was with her...she came out of surgery and was walking and out eating dinner the same night. Dr. Dittsworth has the advanced ability that Dr. Bernard does not have. Dr. Bernard has no answers for me including help with pain or suggestions. Waste of my money and I will make sure the doctor who refered me is aware of this doctors lack of non tramatic back surgery.

The staff and Dr Bernard in my opinion were fanominal! I am making another appt. to hopefully get more work done. I trust Dr Bernard and would/have told other people about him! I would not see another surgeon for the issues that I need to have attended too. I was up and about w/in a few hours of having my necked fused... that was 4 yrs ago and I have not had any issues and it tool away at least 75% of my headaches~

Dr. Bernard is a very soft spoken, compasionate physician. My sister was his patient, she had renal cell (kidney cancer) and ended up with 2 brain tumors. She went through the radiation treaments but they had little effect on the tumors. She began having seizures and we were told she didn't have much longer. Dr. Bernard reviewed her case and determined he could remove at least 1 of the tumors and they went into surgery the next morning. About 1-1/2 months later he removed the second tumor. That was almost 2 years ago now and my sister is still here to tell the story. Dr. Bernard gave us our sister for more years than we ever thought possible because of his great knowledge and skill in the operating room.
