Bio

He practices at the John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City.
Dr. Bernstein is also dedicated to bringing modern vitreo-retinal services to the developing world in a sustainable manner.

UofU Patient August 30, 2016
although I had to wait almost 4 hrs, I was extremely impressed that they took ,e in for cryosurgery that evening, finishing after 7 pm- thanks!!!!!
UofU Patient August 17, 2016great doctor. listens and explains in detail
UofU Patient August 09, 2016everyone was very caring and polite
UofU Patient August 09, 2016Dr B dictated to the scribe a change in the frequency/continuation of my two eye drops. Those instructions were overheard by us, but only casually because we were in the room. The meds change never made it on to my chart. Stephanie went back into the clinic to try to find the correct answer but came up short when she couldn't find instructions on the chart and couldn't interrupt Dr B.
UofU Patient August 02, 2016Dr Bernstein is an excellent physician!!
UofU Patient August 02, 2016I have been a patient of the Moran Eye Center for years. I called to see if I could been seen a.s.a.p. due to some difficulties I was experiencing with my vision. I was able to see Dr. Bernstein very quickly and I appreciate having that happen.
UofU Patient July 31, 2016always good experience at the Moran!!
UofU Patient July 29, 2016Dr. Bernstein is terrific
UofU Patient July 27, 2016I have recommended Dr. Bernstein to others
UofU Patient July 23, 2016I saw Dr. Shick and Dr. Bernstein. I felt both of them were very professional and spent as much time as I needed explaining my questions and concerns.
UofU Patient July 05, 2016I felt that everyone, especially the anaesthesiologist Tatania, explained what I would experience during surgery as much as possible without adding too many things patients don't want to hear. To say I was apprehensive about being alert during eye surgery would a be a bit of an understatement.
UofU Patient July 02, 2016The person who did the initial exam was quite rough with the spoon-like apparatus that moved my eye around. The Doctor was much more gentle and used his fingers to manipulate my eye.
UofU Patient July 01, 2016I am a regular outpatient here. I always get kind efficient attention.
UofU Patient June 06, 2016I am always delighted to see Dr. Bernstein. I have the utmost confidence in him and I trust his care is the BEST!! I would recommend him to anyone needing his expertise.
UofU Patient June 06, 2016Did not receive an answer to my question re: cause of bright light flickering in the macula of left eye after coming in to a building from outside bright day. I think he was going to answer the question after looking at the retina but both of us forgot to follow up on my question. I think he was trying to catch up on his schedule since so far behind.
UofU Patient May 25, 2016I had never received laser treatments from this provider before. He was kind enough to stop the treatments when I couldn't handle the pain any longer, but this is the first time I've had a laser treatment and called to speak to the on-call ophthalmologist after hours.
UofU Patient May 24, 2016Again, I suggest that patients be addressed by name. Not to do so is discourteous
UofU Patient May 20, 2016Dr Bernstein is in my opinion a very good doctor. There was a large backlog of people and everyone was pressed and were working late by the time I got in. I was offered to come another day buy had made the drive from Tooele to keep the appointment so stayed late.
UofU Patient May 14, 2016Dr. Bernstein is an outstanding physician and scholar. I am very grateful that I am able to have him as my specialist for my particular eye problem. Because of him my sight has improved significantly.
UofU Patient April 26, 2016He had a lot of knowledge since he teaches in the field which made me feel for secure in the answers I was receiving.
UofU Patient April 26, 2016I would have liked to have a more precise explanation of who I should call after I found out about my dental scheduling to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bernstein to put gas in my eyeball. My Space message to inform Dr. Bernstein of this on 4/22 has not been returned as of 4/26.
UofU Patient April 26, 2016felt like my anxiety was overlooked and that I was expexted to bring my own after surgery meds bothers me
UofU Patient April 23, 2016I would like some information about the clinical trials and studies that are currently going on concerning macular degeneration. The usual clinic visit is updating my chart and telling me to come back in a year. I don't get much information about myself, my progress or future expectations. This is potential blindness I am dealing with and I need to know more about my current status and the future course of the disease. I need both hope as well as ways to cope with the eventualities.
UofU Patient April 19, 2016i think Dr. Bernstein is a very good retina doctor.
UofU Patient April 18, 2016I'm very pleased to have found Dr. Bernstein for the retina surgery!
UofU Patient April 14, 2016good
UofU Patient April 13, 2016Dr. Bernstein never really talked to me. He and the other doctor just talked about me while I was there without talking to me. No diagnosis or helpful hints were given.
UofU Patient April 05, 2016Dr Bernstein and his staff are the best!
UofU Patient March 25, 2016he did very good at his job but I wish he could have explained the new chip thing.
UofU Patient March 22, 2016I really like Dr. Bernstein. He gets straight to the point about what needs to happen and let's you decide what you want to do to correct it.
UofU Patient March 18, 2016Dr. Bernstein is a very caring and kind provider. He's the best
UofU Patient March 09, 2016I know this is over the top but... Dr. Bernstein is literally my hero and I am grateful for his care and attention.
UofU Patient February 27, 2016Dr Bernstein is the most caring doctor you have. He is almost as concerned about my daughters eyes as I am.
UofU Patient February 18, 2016All good
UofU Patient February 12, 2016rush in give a shot run out on conversation. No word on condition of the eye
UofU Patient February 12, 2016We feel very fortunate to have the good care that we get from the Doctors at the Moran.
UofU Patient February 11, 2016Dr. Bernstein was excellent. And I also want to express appreciation to fellow Dr. Jim Bell who did a good, comprehensive exam and who talked and explained to me throughout. Great job, Jim!
UofU Patient February 08, 2016Excellent
UofU Patient January 31, 2016tO LONG OF A WAITE
UofU Patient January 20, 2016Have already referred
UofU Patient January 15, 2016Paul is outstanding.
UofU Patient January 12, 2016Dr. Bernstein has a great reputation. I have confidence in him. I wish he were not so rushed. I believe that he is forced to see far too many patients in a day.
UofU Patient January 12, 2016Very helpful.
UofU Patient January 12, 2016Very very painful injections in my eyes. I am apprehensive about my next apt
UofU Patient January 09, 2016I had 3 scans done. I saw him look at them but, he never explained them to me. I didn't feel comfortable asking him. I felt like they knew I couldn't qualify for treatment so he wasn't that interested. He was nice and knowledgeable but, I just wanted more.
UofU Patient January 08, 2016Dr. Bernstein has been very informative, willing to wait and calmly explain any and all questions I have had. On days that I know he is busy, he never behaves in a rushed manner. Very impressed with his caring manner and "bed side manor"
UofU Patient January 07, 2016Very pleased
UofU Patient December 17, 2015The doctor came in, gave me a shot in my eye, and left. That's it.
UofU Patient December 15, 2015I have been a patient of Dr. Bernstein"s for a number of years, and he is very kind and understanding. He is an outstanding caregiver.!
UofU Patient December 15, 2015Everything fine EXCEPT that I was not told of the possibility of air bubbles. I was very frightened by the black "things" I saw upon arriving home. Called for information and was reassured. Would have appreciated having been told about this phenomenon before leaving the clinic. (True, there is a reference in written material, but that's not adequate for a person under stress.)
UofU Patient December 11, 2015Excellent
UofU Patient December 05, 2015THIS IS THE ONLY STUDY I HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IF POSSIBLE!
UofU Patient December 01, 2015I could use more explanation on current status.
UofU Patient November 20, 2015The Doctor(s) here are very caring and always provide excellent service as do all of the staff.
UofU Patient November 04, 2015The entire staff was exceptional as usual.
UofU Patient November 01, 2015Dr. Berstein is brilliant, competent, and confident. His confidence in the ability of the team to restore my vision made me so comfortable and confident myself.
UofU Patient October 22, 2015Excellent as always
UofU Patient October 21, 2015It was a new experience to go to the Fashion Place center (which I really appreciate) which is much closer to where I live. It seemed the staff and Dr. Bernstein were all very comfortable there.
UofU Patient October 20, 2015My surgery went long but my Dr. was very courteous. I felt he went an extra mile to provide the BEST care. A+
UofU Patient October 18, 2015good experience.
UofU Patient October 16, 2015I HAVE RECOMMENDED DR BERNSTEIN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE. I JUST WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HIM BEFORE MY INITIAL SURGERY. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE LOST MY SIGHT. HE TOOK CARE OF ME WHEN THE IDAHO EYE CENTER TOLD ME THERE WASN'T ANYMORE THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME. DR BERNSTEIN WAS ABLE TO REATACH MY RETINA AND HAS CONTINUED TO KEEP MY EYE HEALTHY.
UofU Patient October 13, 2015Doctor was thorough and fast, but I didn't feel rushed as a patient.
UofU Patient October 10, 2015I was made to feel like a unit in a manufacturing facility, being moved from point to point with no consideration for my state of mind.
UofU Patient October 09, 2015I like Dr. Bernstein
UofU Patient October 08, 2015Dr. Ambati is both knowledgeable and compassionate.
UofU Patient September 23, 2015My situation is such that I do not understand exactly what it is. I'm following up with my opthamologist at home and, if he has heard from Dr Bernstein, maybe he can help me. Dr B did say I could contact Dr Fornarotto, in Pocatello, and go from there. I do have another appointment with Dr B in November, the two months he recommended for keeping up with what's going on with my vision. I also do have an appointment with Dr F in October.
UofU Patient September 11, 2015Have referrred already
UofU Patient September 07, 2015I have already and will continue to recommend Moran Eye Institute and Dr. Bernstein to family, friends and acquaintances.
UofU Patient September 07, 2015I am delighted with my treatment and prgress.
UofU Patient August 28, 2015Great experience.
UofU Patient August 12, 2015I was very scared coming into this appointment. I had been told very off handedly in an eye exam that I had macular degeneration so I googled it (always a bad idea) and was terrified by what I found. I appreciated greatly the time all the staff took to examine my eyes and explain to me what was going on and put some of my concerns to rest!
UofU Patient August 08, 2015Doctors knowdge of my condition is top rated
UofU Patient August 04, 2015I have come to have extreme confidence in the Moran center. I can't imagine how it could be better in all reality.
UofU Patient July 26, 2015Based on the inordinately long wait to see the doc and the rushed sense I had of the exam, perhaps patients were over-booked on this occasion? Based on reputation, I feel confidence in this doc, which is the most important piece of the picture. But "bed-side" manner is increasingly important in this day and age (or so it seems, from stuff I read and naturally intuit); if he is too busy to carefully address questions/concerns, a competent, trained staff member needs to be available to discuss issues.
UofU Patient July 21, 2015I have absolute confidence in Dr. Bernstein due to his through assessment and treatment of my eye problems.
UofU Patient July 21, 2015Lots of TLC and concern for my comfort and response
UofU Patient July 20, 2015I still have follow up care to do but so far the care and communication with providers and staff at Moran Eye Care Center has been excellent easy for me to understand and I'll certainly recommend Moran to anyone that I hear may need this type of care
UofU Patient July 05, 2015Great experience
UofU Patient June 30, 2015I have the greatest respect for Dr. Bernstein.
UofU Patient June 21, 2015Dr. Bernstein is the best in the West
UofU Patient June 17, 2015All caregivers were very professional and well trained.
UofU Patient May 26, 2015Dr Bernstein sometimes provides kind of brief answers. A man of few words.
UofU Patient May 23, 2015I felt like Dr. Bernstein could have been a little more patient to answer my questions. Whilst he wasn't rude or anything, I felt like he was in a hurry to get me outta there, and maybe didn't really care if I understood what was going on with my eye, when I very much wanted to completely understand it
UofU Patient May 22, 2015Compliments only :)
UofU Patient May 20, 2015Dr. Bernstein is fantastic.I felt very comfortable with him and appreciate his expertise.
UofU Patient April 24, 2015Dr. Bernstein is top notch and I have complete confidence in him and his abilities.
UofU Patient April 11, 2015I think I have the best retinal specialist available.
UofU Patient April 10, 2015Good
UofU Patient April 07, 2015Dr. Bernstein was very good about explaining what would happen. Even though I had been through laser treatments before, I appreciated him taking the time to review the procedure with me.
UofU Patient April 06, 2015I am so pleased with every aspect of my visit. I learned more about my condition in one visit there than I had in four years worth of visits to my optometrist and local retina center.
UofU Patient April 03, 2015As Dr. Bernstein and I have become better acquainted, he seems to understand the rigors of my life and is working with me to lead my normal schedule while still providing for the treatment of my eyes.
UofU Patient April 01, 2015good
UofU Patient March 30, 2015Excellent experience all around.
UofU Patient March 28, 2015Good experience.
UofU Patient March 25, 2015I first time was examined by Dr. Batra. He was very good- made the tests and gave the explanations. Then Dr. Bernstein evaluated all information and explain me the conditions I have. I fill that with Dr. Bernstein I am in very good hands- he is very professional, knowledgeable and kind person. I am very impressed also with his credentials. He is the best. I trust him very much.
UofU Patient March 21, 2015All excellant
UofU Patient March 20, 2015Good
UofU Patient March 18, 2015Dr. Bernstine and Staff made me feel comfortable, explained the procedure, and I think took extra care to try and reduce potential damage to my sight. I made one phone call to schedule an appointment and I was scheduled the next day at 0815. I think the Dr. realized the necessity to move quickly to minimize the potential damage to my sight.
UofU Patient March 01, 2015I have always been very impressed with the care provided by Dr Bernstein. I also appreciate the way the resident and intern provide care. Well done!
UofU Patient February 27, 2015ok
UofU Patient February 21, 2015excellent
UofU Patient February 19, 2015Good
UofU Patient February 19, 2015I like a doctor very much and know that he is very professional and knowledgeable doctor- the best in his field and I trust him. I did not want any additional test which would be used for the research purpose. I am sorry but my eye still hurts after the last test with video for the scientific purpose. I also have some questions about my condition.
UofU Patient February 17, 2015I don't think I was sufficiently tested before I was given the shot in my eye.
UofU Patient February 15, 2015I felt that the doctor was concerned about my condition which I appreciated. I did not appreciate the doctor talking to the resident doctor more than he talked to me. When discussing treatment options the doctor was consulting more with the resident doctor than he was with me.
UofU Patient February 05, 2015Very complete and kind
UofU Patient February 02, 2015he provides the best care possible. he is awesome!!
UofU Patient January 27, 2015I came back to Colorado raving about this clinic as well as Dr. Bernstein.
UofU Patient January 02, 2015Although no one wants to have problems with their vision, I left feeling much comforted.
UofU Patient December 24, 2014good experience
UofU Patient December 18, 2014I'm very impressed and pleased with Dr. Bernstein.
UofU Patient December 18, 2014I have already suggested to others about going to your clinic if they have eye problems, It is excellent and your doctors are very knowledgeable.
UofU Patient December 05, 2014I receive the best care at Moran.
UofU Patient November 11, 2014I'm very grateful for modern medicine and my access to Moran Eye Center.
UofU Patient November 07, 2014The fellow was great at explaining what he thought was happening, tests to make a definitive diagnosis, and then explaination of further treatment. Dr. Bernstein didn't actually spend that much time with me and spent most of his time criticizing the fellow.
UofU Patient November 04, 2014Again, excellent staff! I was well taken care of.
UofU Patient November 03, 2014i was well-satisfied with the way Dr. Bernstein examined me and explained my problem so that I could understand it.
UofU Patient October 28, 2014We are always treated with the utmost respect at your center.
UofU Patient October 13, 2014Dr. Bernstein is the best.
UofU Patient October 08, 2014I often do recommend Dr. Bernstein
UofU Patient October 06, 2014I felt that Dr. Bernstein and all the other medical professionals we dealt with during this visit were wonderful at helping us understand every part of our visit.
UofU Patient October 03, 2014I feel like I am very good hands with Dr Bernstein.. He just does not talk!!! If I want to know anything, I have to ask the questions. My first surgery was over a year ago, and I just found out that the surgery was complicated??? I just thought it was a random Retina surgery.. I still don't know why I still have swelling? I asked Dr Bernstein why and he said it was due to the complications of the surgery.. My last surgery was 6 months ago?? I left the office very down and still scared..
UofU Patient September 26, 2014Dr. Bernstein was caring and careful to explain any symptoms I could experience and what to do if they occur
UofU Patient September 08, 2014The doctor who administered the laser treatments was very patient, kind and understanding when I had to have him stop several times due to the severe pain I was experiencing.
UofU Patient September 02, 2014I have no doubt about Dr. Bernsteins capability. I just wish he were a little friendlier and talkative. This experience is frightening for me. I am on the younger end of macular degeneration scale. The experience when I am there is rigidly clinical. I just need a little more reassurance.
UofU Patient September 02, 2014I have no complaints, only good things to say about the care I receive at Moran from the entire staff.
UofU Patient September 01, 2014I have had to go on the internet to learn about Avastin. Neither the retinologist or his resident explained anything.
UofU Patient August 20, 2014Awesome caring Doctor. Willing to go the extra mile.
UofU Patient August 04, 2014I have recommended Dr. Bernstein and his staff to two of our friends and they were very happy with their experiences.
UofU Patient August 03, 2014I really don't know what to say
UofU Patient August 02, 2014I thought you could have deadened my eyes a little more. The difference between your office and the office in Alaska, Here I felt the needle and Alaska I didn't.
UofU Patient July 31, 2014I honestly feel like family with some of the nurses. everyone takes great care of me. the physians take extra time to carefully clean my eyes before and after injections since I wear lash extensions. I really appreciate it.
UofU Patient July 21, 2014I started with Dr Zhang, he referred me to Dr Berenstein when he left. all of the docs I have seen are amazing.
UofU Patient July 20, 2014Paul Bernstein and his staff are excellent caregivers and are very professional and caring
UofU Patient July 18, 2014I was very surprised when Dr. Bernstein said that I really didn't have Age-related Macular-degeneration. I am very happy with my improved vision though.
UofU Patient July 17, 2014It was a wonderful experience. The staff were excellent.
UofU Patient July 14, 2014Covered a lot information in a short period of time.
UofU Patient July 04, 2014I would recommend Dr Bernstein... I have a lot of confidence in him, he knows what he is doing.. At first I wasn't sure he was very quite and reserved... But being his patience for the last 9 months he has become a lot friendlier, I feel very good about asking him questions.. He is a very good doctor!!!
UofU Patient June 19, 2014Good experience. Dr. Bernstein is an excellent physician. He is very knowledgeable and was willing to answer all questions I had.
UofU Patient June 12, 2014a very great place to go. very caring and professional
UofU Patient June 09, 2014I have every confidence in Dr. Bernstein.
UofU Patient June 08, 2014Great people.
UofU Patient May 31, 2014Dr. Bernstein is a very good physician. His professional abilities are excellent and he is willing to listen. His interaction at times is somewhat distant/aloof, though he will discuss things with you if you initiate questions.
UofU Patient May 20, 2014but I would not be fair myself unless I told them how overbooked and as a result we have ti sit and wait and wait.
UofU Patient May 06, 2014Thanks to Dr Bernstein and his fellow for all they do!!!!
UofU Patient May 03, 2014Before giving me my injection, the doctor put on gloves and then proceeded to do the computer work. I was worried that the gloves would get dirty and infect my eyes.
UofU Patient April 26, 2014I had a very pleasant experience. Everyone was so kind and friendly. No one made me feel stupid for coming in.
UofU Patient April 25, 2014I feel Dr Bernstein is one of the best in his field..
UofU Patient April 23, 2014So much better!!!!
UofU Patient April 21, 2014Dr. Bernstein is always warm, thorough, and informative.
UofU Patient March 26, 2014After having 4 surgeries in a small amount of time I have gotten to know the Doctor.. I have a lot of trust in him, I would recommend him to others..
UofU Patient March 20, 2014excellent experience and friendly and professional atmosphere
UofU Patient March 17, 2014good experience
UofU Patient March 17, 2014The end result with improvement shown when comparing the scans from last Dec. until now were encouraging. It was good to know the most of the fluid behind my left eye is gone. The vision problem now may be with the scar tissue and hopefully that will also improve.
UofU Patient March 10, 2014I'm totally satisfied with the care provider.
UofU Patient February 14, 2014I would definitely recommend him.
UofU Patient February 10, 2014All Very Good!
UofU Patient February 07, 2014Good
UofU Patient February 05, 2014Dr Bernstein wanted the joint appointment with Dr. Creel so that he could go over the results of the test by Dr. Creel. He didn't provide time for questions during his visit. I thought there would be time after the tests to discuss the findings. When I finished the tests with Dr. Creel, I was told that I was finished and needed to come back in six months. I had no opportunity for questions.
UofU Patient January 31, 2014This was the first time I felt like the doctor saw me like a person and not just another folder. I was scared about what was happening to me and I was crying. He actually took some time to reassure me that everything was okay.
UofU Patient January 24, 2014I have shared my excellent experiences at the Moran with numerous friends back home in Chicago .
UofU Patient January 12, 2014Of the variety of care providers I have seen, I was most comfortable in all respects with Dr. Bernstein.
UofU Patient December 26, 2013Great people who work there, and they go out of there way to make your visit a pleasant one.
UofU Patient December 20, 2013I was only with Dr. Bernstein for about five to ten minutes out of the four hours I was there, but I have tremendous confidence in him.
UofU Patient December 16, 2013great place and people
UofU Patient December 16, 2013The first time I did this survey I gave all 5's.. This is going to be my 3rd surgery in 3 months and I still don't know what is going on with my eye.. I don't even know what part the retina plays in my vision?? For his friendliness I believe he is probably as friendly as Surgeons get, they way of thinking is way above the normal person.. He told me my condition and I don't have a clue what letter it starts with.. I ask him why the 2 surgeries have not worked and he said just bad luck..
UofU Patient December 16, 2013The condition that I had was not explained to me though I was assured it did not threaten my vision. I had to rely on researching the diagnosis myself on line to find out what it was exactly and what to expect in the future.
UofU Patient December 12, 2013I WOULD HAVE LIKED FOR THE DR TO TAKE THE TIME TO CHECK MY "GOOD EYE" FOR MY OWN PEACE OF MIND, BUT I DIDN'T EVEN DARE ASK. THIS IS LIFECHANGING TO ME, AND I FELT AS IF HE COULD HAVE CARED LESS. I FELT SUPID FOR THE QUESTIONS THAT I DID ASK.
UofU Patient November 28, 2013Dr. Berstein just awesome. The previous intern (Dr. Batar) was great as well.
UofU Patient November 19, 2013Dr Bernsttien is fantastic and I have and will continue to recommend others to see him.
UofU Patient October 30, 2013good
UofU Patient October 28, 2013good experience
UofU Patient October 23, 2013Seriously I can't say enough good things about Moran and Dr. Bernstein's surgical and follow-up care. I was very, very fortunate to have him 'on-call' that weekend and will be forever grateful for his care and help.
UofU Patient October 21, 2013No bad experience with the care providers. I suggest that an n/a column be added here. My visit was a follow-up for an injection. A number of the above questions did not apply. Explanations of my condition, treatment, etc., were clearly given by Dr. Bernstein on my initial visit.
UofU Patient October 21, 2013I did not feel rushed and appreciated the explanation given to me.
UofU Patient October 20, 2013All good
UofU Patient October 17, 2013Actual exam was rushed and perfuntory.
UofU Patient October 15, 2013best care anywhere!
UofU Patient October 09, 2013Dr. B is my hero... I would totally recommend him. He is always so friendly, remembers me and treats me with respect. Please tell him thank you AGAIN for all he has done for my eye care... and I will look forward to my yearly check up... unless something comes up sooner.
UofU Patient October 03, 2013The nurses and assiants were great.. I also want to make sure the anesthesia doctor was very comforting.. Great personality!!
UofU Patient October 02, 2013The PA was great. Dr. Bernstein however gave me a name of what was wrong and why what had happened so far had happened but didn't tell me anything I could do to help with the situation or what to watch for. The person who showed me the way back out of the clinic told me more of what to watch for then he did. I realized what was really going on when I got home and researched it. I would have asked some questions if he had been more clear,
UofU Patient September 30, 2013I was disappointed with Dr. Bernstein's care. Dr. Crum had recommended him. It seemed he never had looked into my records and didn't know a thing about me. The only "test" he did was to have pictures taken of my macula. Previous tests had shown there wasn't a problem there. He never commented on Dr. Crum's recommendation for treatment. I had to bring it up, and then all he had to say was that I could do the treatment "if I wanted to." I basically was at the Moran for 3 hours and all he had to say was that he would turn me back over to Dr. Crum. He had suggested re-doing one test that had come back abnormally, but suggested doing it in a year. He showed no concern that my eyesight has been diminishing quite quickly.
UofU Patient September 30, 2013am very glad things worked out the way they did and Dr. Bernstein was on call the day came into Moran. He provided excellent care and I had complete confidence in him.
UofU Patient September 30, 2013Dr Bernstein is excellent in all aspects!
UofU Patient September 27, 2013I have seen retinitis pigmentosa specialist all over the country. I stick with Dr. Bernstein for a reason.
UofU Patient September 23, 2013For my first appointment I had Dr. Bernstein. Totally excellent in all respects. For my second appointment I had a different Doctor. Not nearly as informative.
UofU Patient September 11, 2013still had eye pain I felt it wasn't address at my visit. Just passed me to another doctor.
UofU Patient September 02, 2013I love efficient and quick, but I also like to be kept informed. My needs are always met at the Moran. I have recommended the Center to friends who have WMD.
UofU Patient August 21, 2013ALL GOOD
UofU Patient August 19, 2013Its just so busy and so many people
UofU Patient August 19, 2013No gloves worn during exam, When touching my eye or face.
UofU Patient August 18, 2013My situation was of the critical nature and all who were involved were outstanding - even those who worked in the pharmacy had to stay late to take care of me
UofU Patient August 17, 2013I was very disappointed in my appointment and my daughter who is a nurse agreed with me. Yes, I wood like for them to find a cure for retinitis but I would also like to know if there is anything that can help save my vision.
UofU Patient August 12, 2013I am very fortunate to have whatever eyesight I have remaining in my old age in the hands of Dr. Bernstein. I mentioned, as I was through with my initial treatment, that I felt that I was in "Good Hands". I should have said Excellent Hands.
UofU Patient August 09, 2013Excellent!
UofU Patient August 08, 2013PA asked me a question that he should have known. End of day visit and it became rushed. I had to ask if I needed to keep using the eye drops.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013He has too many patients. Given the importance of the research done there and the clinic itself, I will stay with this provider. But the "bedside manner" is not great.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013I have the highest confidence in Dr. Bernstein. None of these questions relate to how I perceive his skill level nor my level of confidence in the care he provides. For these he would have a 5+ every time!
UofU Patient August 05, 2013The long wait to finally see Dr. Bernstein for a total of maybe five minutes was not acceptable--I had made my appointment several months in advance.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013I wouldn't see anyone other than Dr. Bernstein.
UofU Patient August 03, 2013wait time inexcusably long
UofU Patient August 02, 2013All were good
UofU Patient June 18, 2013Dr. Bernstein was outstanding.
UofU Patient June 17, 2013Dr Ambati did an excellent job. I had no pain and my vision is greatly improved.
UofU Patient June 17, 2013Competency: Good. Manners: Not so good. 1) The final procedure was to have taken 45 min beginning at 1:00pm. The Dr. didn't show until about 3:00pm. We finished at 3:15pm. Things happen. But, no explanation was given or apology offered. Nothing was said. The patient will almost always accept the reason given, but say something. Saying nothing confirms that to the Dr. the delay meant nothing, and infers that to the Dr. the patient also means nothing. 2) When the patient's spouse is introduced, shake his/her hand.
UofU Patient June 07, 2013Maybe he was just having a bad day but Dr. Berstien seemed to be a little more aloof and indifferent than usual. I wish he was a little more engaging. I don't know what questions to ask. Sometimes I feel like cattle being shuffled through.
UofU Patient May 20, 2013only thing I found wrong was I had to ask questions to get all the information of what I needed to do and not do after the procedure. I am the type that needs it said clearly what ineed to do and not do.
UofU Patient May 08, 2013Paul is a very good doctor and I have recomended his services to others.
UofU Patient May 03, 2013Dr. Bernstein and staff are very friendly and proficient, recommend them highly.
UofU Patient May 03, 2013I will definitely continue to visit and recommend others as well.
UofU Patient April 19, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013Good experience
UofU Patient April 11, 2013No 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.
UofU Patient April 08, 2013The Doctor and support Staff were outstanding.
UofU Patient April 01, 2013Dr. Bernstein is the very best!
UofU Patient March 30, 2013High quality service!
UofU Patient March 23, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient March 21, 2013I have already recommended Dr. Bernstein to others and they have visited and have had good experiences.
UofU Patient March 21, 2013I have recommended your clinic to other folks. I was very impressed with the professional treatment by all contacted.
UofU Patient March 19, 2013I have told people about your care and about how good all the people are.
UofU Patient March 15, 2013I 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?)
UofU Patient March 15, 2013I would give 4's to the resident and 5's to the doctor.
UofU Patient March 06, 2013Outstanding!
UofU Patient February 14, 2013Dr Bernstein is the best. I thank him and the Moran every day for restoring my vision.
UofU Patient February 14, 2013I will certainly recommend Moran to any and all patients that I come in contact with that may need to be seen in this capacity.
UofU Patient February 12, 2013GAVE AN HONEST CONCISE EVALUATION OF MY SITUATION
UofU Patient February 12, 2013He 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 ...
UofU Patient February 08, 2013Always Great, new students are better than last year.
UofU Patient February 05, 2013Doctor B did not do a terrific job of explaining how many treatments and time would/could be involved in returning my vision to normal.
UofU Patient February 03, 2013GREAT
UofU Patient February 01, 2013Excellent
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Would highly recommend this facility as a referral.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013perhaps 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.
UofU Patient January 25, 2013Dr. 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.
UofU Patient January 21, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient January 18, 2013A very informative and courteous staff. The wait to see the Dr.was excessive without explanation for delay.
UofU Patient December 18, 2012The 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.
UofU Patient December 10, 2012very good
UofU Patient December 07, 2012Good
UofU Patient November 19, 2012This 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.
UofU Patient November 08, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient October 22, 2012excellent experience
UofU Patient October 15, 2012He doesn't say much. But others do.
UofU Patient September 29, 2012Apart from the long wait to see Dr Bernstein, everything else was fine. He is a great Doctor
UofU Patient September 28, 2012Dr. 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
UofU Patient September 03, 2012I have already recommended several people to both Dr. Ambati and Dr. Bernstein.
UofU Patient August 31, 2012Care 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.
UofU Patient August 22, 2012He expedited the process for him to see my daughter
UofU Patient August 18, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient August 09, 2012The 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.
UofU Patient August 03, 2012Very good.
UofU Patient July 30, 2012Well done; professional during the visit
UofU Patient July 25, 2012I waish he could provide more answers regarding my symptoms. But he is an excellent provider.
UofU Patient July 21, 2012We were impressed with the provider
UofU Patient July 15, 2012Dr Bernstein is the best!
UofU Patient July 03, 2012Very business like, dose the injection and little interaction. That's okay because I know his work is top.
UofU Patient June 18, 2012A bit concerned that more informaton wasn't shared - only gave information that was specifically asked for.
UofU Patient June 14, 2012DR: BERNSTAIN IS A VERY PROFESSIONAL PERSON WITH ETHICS AND PRINCIPLES. I FEEL COMFORTABLE WHEN HE IS TREATING MY EYE ISSUE AND AS A PERSON.
UofU Patient June 01, 2012I always have had a good experience with Dr. Bernstein and the med students.
UofU Patient May 04, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient May 01, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient April 30, 2012Dr Bernstein care was excellent
UofU Patient April 23, 2012I have always had wonderful communication, reassurance, and concern over my condition. , I have left feeling much better than when I arrived for my appointment.
UofU Patient April 17, 2012i 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.
UofU Patient April 16, 2012Thank you! Your concern....your patience, your sincerity ...... we cannot thank you enough!
UofU Patient April 06, 2012Dr. Bernstein may have been too busy for any discussion of my problem.
UofU Patient April 06, 2012Excellent!!
UofU Patient March 26, 2012very good
UofU Patient March 23, 2012I would never go to another Eye Doctor unless it was something that either Dr. Zabriskie or Dr. Berstein could not take care of.
UofU Patient March 23, 2012As 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?).
UofU Patient March 20, 2012very good
UofU Patient March 20, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient March 20, 2012Dr. Bernstein inspires confidence. I actually look forward to my appointments.
UofU Patient March 16, 2012I was treated very well
UofU Patient January 30, 2012Sorry, but I would never subject anyone to what I experienced. It's not just one bad day. It's two previously appointed dates.
UofU Patient January 23, 2012good
