Barbara M. I.

Dr. Bernstein was extremely professional. He gave me a thorough explanation of his diagnosis, after looking at my MRI, and I will follow up with him for further treatment. I definitely feel more hopeful after talking with him.

From the moment I called the office walked, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by Linda. Dr. Bernstein's approach to osteopathic medicine is truly holistic and compassionate.

Dr. Bernstein's deep understanding of the body’s interconnected systems, combined with his attentive and patient-centered approach, made me feel genuinely cared for. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained every aspect of my treatment plan in detail, and ensured I was comfortable with each step. His expertise in osteopathic manipulative treatment undoubtedly will make a significant difference in my overall well-being, and his thoughtful care has been a game-changer for my health.

The staff at Dr. Bernstein's office are equally outstanding. They are not only efficient but also incredibly friendly and supportive. From the receptionists who always greet you with a smile to his Manager, Linda, who makes sure every visit is smooth and comfortable, it’s clear that this team is dedicated to providing top-notch care.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Bernstein to anyone seeking exceptional osteopathic care. His commitment to excellence and genuine concern for his patients sets him apart.

Very pleased with the treatments I receive from Dr. Bernstein. Also very pleased with the level of rapport. Gifted hands with excellent awareness and a pleasingly wry and acerbic sense of humor. Highly recommend. Also, Linda is awesome! Always with a smile and willing to make an extra effort to keep things flowing smoothly.

Dr. Bernstein and Linda are excellent. Linda, Dr. Bernstein's assistant helped me filling out my medical history and other forms. She was very patient and I never felt rushed. Then, Dr. Bernstein greeted me in the waiting area and spent the next hour reviewing my xrays and previous MRI and other films with me. Following that he spent more time evaluating me and proceeding with my first treatment. Very gentle but firm hands. I already feel looser and in less pain. Our plan for continued plan of treatment is reasonable. Recommend!

I felt like I was in competent hands with my first thorough visit to Dr Bernstein. He spent a lot of time looking over my medical records and was offering some new medical insights that had not been offered before. Based upon my first visit, Dr Bernstein has credibility, much experience, and based upon his questions and assessments, I believe that I will have a much more targeted professional approach to the complicated issues I am dealing with in regards to my spine and hips. Dr Bernstein and his office staff were personable, friendly, and thorough.

I see Dr. Bernstein to support my body's vitality and function, because of his 30+ years of 'hands-on-bodies experience,' his breadth and depth knowledge of bodies/health, and a truly deep caring for his patients.

It was lucky that I happened to meet a stranger in Whole Foods parking lot as we were both struggling to get out of our cars. We had similar spine and hip problems. He told me he had been to several doctors in the Santa Cruz area and Dr. Bernstein was the one who helped him the most, so I made an appointment, and so happy I did. Dr. Bernstein steered me in the right direction, and even made a few phone calls to get me in to see a specialist. I'm so grateful! Thank you, Dr. Bernstein!
