Carlo Bernardino's Online Review Report Card

i am very pleased with dr. bernardino. extremely nice doctor, empathic, knowledgable and explained procedures clearly and succinctly. plus, he was always on time--i had zero wait time which always reduces anxiety. he understood the problem with my tear duct and also my needle phobia. surgery on the tear duct was easy and effective, with minimal pain or trauma. also had an excellent anesthesiologist at CHOMP--dr. roxas.

The care and professionalism I received from Dr. Bernardino and his surgery team was high quality. There was a no nonsense efficiency from the team headed by the doctor, that comes with knowing what you're doing and doing it well. If you have questions, come with them because Dr. Bernardino does not coddle. His manner may be a little brusk, but he is a doctor first and foremost. I would trust Dr. Bernardino again.

Skilled and friendly surgeon, pleasant and professional staff, clean office, excellent result. Highly recommend.

horrible inexperienced doctor he told me he was a skilled plastic surgeon but he lied... he ruined my entire future and left me looking like a freak

Bad bedside manners.

Dr. Bernardino operated on me to correct my dry eyes as well as one droopy eyelid. Both corrections were successful. Eyelids track each other and the dry eyes are gone. Can unequivically recommend Dr. Bernardino. We are lucky to have this skilled surgeon in our locality. The office staff was excellent as well.

I was diagnosed with graves disease back in 2008. The disease ruined the appearance of my eyes. My eyes bulged out and I looked like a completely different person. I became veru insecure. I hid away from people and could never look at anyone in the eye and always wore sunglasses. I was very confident before my eye disease but that eye disease took away all my confidence and I felt like an ugly freak. Dr Bernadino performed orbital decompression and eyelid surgery on me. I had a total of 4 surgeries with Dr Bernadino and I am very happy with my outcome. It has been life changing. Im able to speak to people with eye contact. I feel confident. It has been life changing. During the whole process with 4 different surgeries, my eyes constantly were changing so it didnt happen right away. I was still depressed. I still felt like an ugly freak but if you hang in there and put your trust in Dr Bernadino then the journey would not be as stressfull. He knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to any of my family members and friends. You are in good hands with Dr Bernadino.

he is always in rush and gets offended easily. He did an eye surgery on my both eyes (droopy eyelid) and apparently made the wrong measurements. on my second post op he said that I need another surgery and that he is sorry! is that enough?!! during the surgery he was keep talking about soccer games, talking about his sons and his plans to go visits his brother in summer. I had pain during the surgery and he had to ask the anestheologist to give me more medication. I think he was very busy talking and laughing and eventually ruined everything. it's very annoying that I do not see even a little change in my left eye! nothing. I think he just opened it up and stitched it or I don't know!! it is frustrating. Please be careful in vantage eye care center they double charge you. His accountant charged me 800$ co-pay while my insurance said my co-pay is only 100$ and when I told them that they are wrong they called me back after an hour and apologized for their mistake! Also They wanted to charge me 450$ for anestheologist but I checked and found out it was all included in my insurance and they accepted that. But on the surgery day the lady in the surgery office asked me for 450$ AGAIN and when I said I do not pay that amount she just said: "OH, OK"!!!!!

Horrible doctor. Botched uneven ptosis surgery. Incredible pain, but he doesn't care. Beware, go somewhere else. Others on Yelp had bad surgeries by him.

I was able to get a last minute appointment even as a new patient for an urgent visit. Dr. Bernardino efficiently examined me, explained my condition and answered all my questions.
