From the very first appointment back In 2009 through the present, Dr. Bernold has always been focused on my care and cure. Although I would have preferred not to have the issues in the first place, I'm very happy that Dr. Bernold has been by my side -- listening, directly communicating, recommending, treating, and following up. Always respectful, caring, thorough, and advocating on my behalf. He would be at the very top of any rating scale you offered!
