Bradley Bernhard M.D.'s Online Review Report Card

Was more concerned about my criminal background than the fact that I cant sit or stand on my own. Dr. Bernhardt was supposed to be seeing me for my new patient appointment because the doctor I requested could not get me in as quickly as I needed to be seen, as my back went out for the second time in 9 months and I had not been able to sit or walk in 2 days and I was in a lot of pain. While I did not expect him to fix me right there in the office, I DID express expect a referral to a neurosurgeon or physical therapy maybe, maybe it was (is) indeed serious enough to go BACK to the emergency room. He never asked if Id had an Xray, never requested medical records from the ER, but did seem awfully concerned that my last diagnosis was in Missouri Department of corrections over 10 years ago. Wanted to know my charges and my drug history as soon as I disclosed that I had been incarcerated. His tone changed, I felt he wasnt taking my condition seriously. He prescribed 1 week worth of muscle relaxers and a course of prednisone and told me to follow up (somewhere else) in a month..... 18 hours later, no change in my condition. The ladies at the desk showed more care and concern than this doctor.

He is an honest and caring doctor to me and members of my family for many years now.

Need to fix the obvious issues here.

I am a 56 year old male. I find Dr Bernhard to be thorough and a knowledgable and compassionate physician.Hes been very responsive in after hour and weekend med needs. I would and have recommended to friends and neighbors.
