May 08, 2013

Paul is a very good doctor and I have recomended his services to others.

May 03, 2013

Dr. Bernstein and staff are very friendly and proficient, recommend them highly.

May 03, 2013

I will definitely continue to visit and recommend others as well.

April 19, 2013

I feel like my doctor is a good doctor, however, I feel like he didn't spend too much time with me. He just wanted to move on to the next person. Also, I had to have a resident dilate my eyes and then the doctor came in right after and did the same thing. My eyes are very sensitive and it hurt to have that exam done twice in a row.

April 15, 2013

Good experience

April 11, 2013

No response concerning my comments about further loss of peripheral vision. It's an old problem, so I had to assume nothing can be done for this. It concerns me though and would like to know what the future will bring. MD did say all is stable and that is what he is looking for, regarding retinopathy.

April 08, 2013

The Doctor and support Staff were outstanding.

April 01, 2013

Dr. Bernstein is the very best!

March 30, 2013

High quality service!

March 23, 2013

I didn't get an explanation of the results of the dye test and nothing was said about medications. It was "as usual". I have great confidence in Dr. Bernstein and know if there is something I need to know he will tell me. I don't always know the right questions to ask.

March 21, 2013

I have recommended your clinic to other folks. I was very impressed with the professional treatment by all contacted.

March 21, 2013

I have already recommended Dr. Bernstein to others and they have visited and have had good experiences.

March 19, 2013

I have told people about your care and about how good all the people are.

March 15, 2013

I would like to have heard more about the plans the doctor has for my eye or what he thinks are the chances I will see again. (or maybe it's best I don't know at this time?)

March 15, 2013

I would give 4's to the resident and 5's to the doctor.

March 06, 2013

Outstanding!

February 14, 2013

I will certainly recommend Moran to any and all patients that I come in contact with that may need to be seen in this capacity.

February 14, 2013

Dr Bernstein is the best. I thank him and the Moran every day for restoring my vision.

February 12, 2013

GAVE AN HONEST CONCISE EVALUATION OF MY SITUATION

February 12, 2013

He knows his stuff but is not a very sympathetic person. For example, "you will never regain vision in that part of your eye" ... very matter-of-fact, no sympathy. Oh well ...

February 08, 2013

Always Great, new students are better than last year.

February 05, 2013

Doctor B did not do a terrific job of explaining how many treatments and time would/could be involved in returning my vision to normal.

February 03, 2013

GREAT

February 01, 2013

Excellent

January 28, 2013

Would highly recommend this facility as a referral.

January 28, 2013

perhaps the backup of patients had an impact. The physician may feel the outcome of treatment may depend on the next step. I left feeling this was my last choice to fix my sight problem whether or not it worked. I don't want false hope but reality.

January 25, 2013

Dr. Bernstein was perfect. He answered all our concerns and gave excellent directions. Could have not been better in all aspects. The entire staff were very professional and organized.

January 21, 2013

I am so grateful for the care I have received from the doctors at the Moran. Especially from Dr Bernstein. He has explained anything and everything I have asked. ( and often times that was a tall order) But I have never felt less than "important" when in his care.

January 18, 2013

A very informative and courteous staff. The wait to see the Dr.was excessive without explanation for delay.

December 18, 2012

The Dr. is always busy and does take the time to answer questions and talk you through the events. I tend to actually get more info from the other staff members during procedures that help shape my conversation with the Dr. so time with him is minimized, which in my opinion is a good thing. Having a staff who is willing to talk to you about there observations and theories and then using those in dialog with the Dr. is helpful and likely saves time on both parties.

December 10, 2012

very good

December 07, 2012

Good

November 19, 2012

This visit was a follow-up primarily to address additional questions that have arisen since a previous visit. I felt that Dr. Bernstein was much friendlier and willing to listen that he had been on previous visits. I left this visit feeling much better informed and more like a person than I had previously felt. As a result of the general good care and information I have received from all my visits to the Moran Eye Center, I have urged a friend to consider visiting this facility for attention to a long-standing problem with his vision and that of his wife.

November 08, 2012

Dr. Bernstein is very business-like. Although, he seemed very knowledgeable, there is a wish on my part for more warmth in his interactions with patients. There were instances when I felt like an object rather than a person. I suppose that is simply his personality. Humanism is a quality that is much needed and highly desirable in the medical world. I missed it in my visit with Dr. Bernstein.

October 22, 2012

excellent experience

October 15, 2012

He doesn't say much. But others do.

September 29, 2012

Apart from the long wait to see Dr Bernstein, everything else was fine. He is a great Doctor

September 28, 2012

Dr. Bernstein is a fantastic doctor, he has helped me through a lot of eye problems. He is very personable, concerned, and has always given me the best of care. I realize he is in great demand, but I do hope that he will be at that clinic for a long time. I give my thanks for all he has done for me

September 03, 2012

I have already recommended several people to both Dr. Ambati and Dr. Bernstein.

August 31, 2012

Care provider asked a lot of detailed questions and really got specific. I was asked questions that I had never been asked before which I really appreciated. Care provider also gave me feedback about my situation that I have never received before. Care provider was wonderful.

August 22, 2012

He expedited the process for him to see my daughter

August 18, 2012

Dr. Bernstein isn't the most personal Dr. When it came to a particular problem I never fully understood what was going on, but I trusted the Doctor.

August 09, 2012

The Dr and others were great. Although a painful experience and through much double checking I feel they were very thorough and feel positive about the results.

August 03, 2012

Very good.

July 30, 2012

Well done; professional during the visit

July 25, 2012

I waish he could provide more answers regarding my symptoms. But he is an excellent provider.

July 21, 2012

We were impressed with the provider

July 15, 2012

Dr Bernstein is the best!

July 03, 2012

Very business like, dose the injection and little interaction. That's okay because I know his work is top.

June 18, 2012

A bit concerned that more informaton wasn't shared - only gave information that was specifically asked for.

June 14, 2012

DR: BERNSTAIN IS A VERY PROFESSIONAL PERSON WITH ETHICS AND PRINCIPLES. I FEEL COMFORTABLE WHEN HE IS TREATING MY EYE ISSUE AND AS A PERSON.

June 01, 2012

I always have had a good experience with Dr. Bernstein and the med students.

May 04, 2012

I felt the provider was a little rushed. However, it was explained to me that he had been out of the clinic and was trying to catch up with his patients. I would have like a little more time with him.

May 01, 2012

I have confidence in Dr. Bernstein and I'm quite certain it wasn't his fault that I had to wait 2 1/2 hours. However, a mention of concern by him about that fact would have impressed me. I don't really care that much about the personality of the doctors I see, but I've been to other doctors who expressed concern about how long I waited whether it was their fault or not. Also, when he finally came into the examination room he had no idea why I was there and thought I was a new patient even though it was he who examined me on my previous appointment and told me to come back in a month.

April 30, 2012

Dr Bernstein care was excellent

April 23, 2012

I have always had wonderful communication, reassurance, and concern over my condition. , I have left feeling much better than when I arrived for my appointment.

April 17, 2012

i would have like to have received more information on my current statis and a review of what I can continue to do to help my situation.

April 16, 2012

Thank you! Your concern....your patience, your sincerity ...... we cannot thank you enough!

April 06, 2012

Dr. Bernstein may have been too busy for any discussion of my problem.

April 06, 2012

Excellent!!

March 26, 2012

very good

March 23, 2012

I would never go to another Eye Doctor unless it was something that either Dr. Zabriskie or Dr. Berstein could not take care of.

March 23, 2012

As mentioned, the people are great, but I get the feeling that they are being really pushed to see as many patients as possible (not their fault - maybe an executive decision?).

March 20, 2012

very good

March 20, 2012

Dr. Bernstein inspires confidence. I actually look forward to my appointments.

March 20, 2012

I am disappointed that I have to go back for a third visit because the doctor still isn't sure if there is a tear in the retina. Because of the limited choice of appointment times and the distance from my home, transportation is especially time consuming. The expense of the visits is adding up, and it is quite an uncomfortable exam. However, I have confidence in this care provider and feel that he is giving me the best treatment possible.

March 16, 2012

I was treated very well

January 30, 2012

Sorry, but I would never subject anyone to what I experienced. It's not just one bad day. It's two previously appointed dates.

January 23, 2012

good
