Bernita Berntsen Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FASMBS

She is the best!! When I first met her at the support group meeting she took the time to answer all the groups questions without ever making us feel uncomfortable.
The staff at her clinic are so nice. The wait in the waiting room could have been a bit shorter, but I also understand why.
I would recommend their practice to anyone without hesitation. She explained everthing in detail and made sure that all my questions were answered. From what I have seen and heard from her other patients she does a great job at follow-up care. My fears have been laid to rest to say the least!
I feel very confidant in her abilities.
If I had to rate her on a scale of 1-10, I would have to give a 10 all the way!

Dr. Bernstein was great. Before you can even meet with her she requires you to go to a support group meeting. They explain everything there, plus get to meet some of her patients. Once you do meet for your consultation she makes sure you understand all the pros and cons that can happen. She also has a book that she would like for you to read. She really wants you to be prepared for surgery and after surgery. Her nurse (Maxine) sent the paper work to the insurance company. Maxine was great and never got irritated at my calls and questions. Everyone was very supportive.
