I've been a patient of Dr. Bernad going on 10 years now. He's always been upfront with me about my condition and treatment. He's very attentive and listens to you when you have questions. He's a great teacher, especially when the medical students are present, their willingness to learn from him shows how good of a doctor he is. The staff is super friendly and the office is very clean and inviting.

I found Dr. Bernad to be exceptionally warm and a great listener. He is extremely empathetic and caring and took time to listen to my many concerns. I recently moved here and I’m happy to say I found my new neurologist! He is everything I hoped to find and more! His office staff is very professional and very helpful.

Dr. Bernad is very personable and knowledgeable. His front receptionist and medical students are welcoming and friendly.
Verified patient
argument between staff as I walked in the door. No record of my Zoc Doc appointment, took almost an hour to be seen.
There was a lot of discussion around what might be the issue but it's difficult to tell without further consultation.

Enjoyed the doctor's way of conversing with me and allowing me to speak freely about my concerns and my observations.

This is my first visit . Doctor is very m nj personable . Willing to take the time to find out what’s Daly bothering and address those issues. I was not rushed in any way. I think I can work with this doctor and get help with my physical ailments.
Verified patient
I had a lesson of history instead of a medical consultation. One hour of history. And It wasn t for free... very dissapointed!
Md.Bernard was kind and courteous. He has always listened to my needs and knows my very difficult neurological medical contion. My whole family is so happy to have him in our lives.
Verified patient
The doctor was great. However I had a confirmation email from you guys Sandy appointment was booked and he had no knowledge of the appointment. It did not show up on his end. She was a good thing that I called before hand because he would not have seen me otherwise. I don’t think that I’m going to be using the Zocdoc again because of that. I welcome the opportunity to hear why he didn’t get it. Thank you so much
Verified patient
He was very polite and caring
Verified patient
He somewhat rushed me. He didn't listen to all my concerns before writing a few orders without explaining the procedures (sleep study) and a EEG- what its for or any information.
Verified patient
I was so impressed, Dr. Bernad is one of best doctors I’ve ever meet. Very attentive, knowledgeable, takes his time to really get to know his patient. Which was very important to me. I left his office with no answer but just knew we will get to the bottom of what is going on with me. I will definitely recommend Dr. Bernad if you are looking for a neurologist.
Verified patient
This doctor seems very knowledgeable but he is a bit weird. First, he did not speak to me but my husband. He was explaining most of the time to my husband and talking about me as "she" while I was there too. Second, he never called me back with my test results. And when I called they said he would call me but never called me. He also does not speak nicely about his own staff with the patient what I think is not good. The good thing about him was that he took my case serious and ordered the results that were necessary but then they said for the test results you need to make an appointment. But if the results are good, why would I made an appointment? All in all, a bit frustrating experience.
Dr. Bernad has the worst bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met. He belittled me and the pain I had experienced. He scolded his medical students in front of me and made them redo things that had already been done just to prove a point. I would not suggest anyone going to see him.
He is s wonderful, caring, and very professional Dr. Old fashioned, ( in a good way) really takes time to get to know his patients . I would highly recommend him.
Verified patient
Peter Bernad was extremely unprofessional and his office is quite dirty and gross. He came across as flirtatious during the visit, complimenting my looks and profession multiple times, spent 30 minutes asking about my psychological disposition and family life and giving me toothy grins. I came in to get assistance with migraines, but he simply signed me up for a follow up appointment of a neuro test in his office and I never received the results nor diagnosis. Waste of time and money, and made me feel very uncomfortable. Would not recommend at all.
