He was competent and reassuring. I had had a very painful retinal exam two days prior with a regular ophthalmalogist and Dr. Berinstein was so much faster, the discomfort was much less.

This office sees many patients, but when I sat down with Dr. Berinstein he took his time to talk to me as his patient. I did not feel rushed and he answered all my questions. His bedside manner, professionalism and knowledge was excellent and I would recommend him to any of my family members.
