Walter L. Bernacki's Online Review Report Card

I think this place is a scam. I was referred to them for a consultation and did not sign anything...was not pleased with the doctor as I had questions he couldn't answer. He was in the room all of 10 mins with me. Then was put in a room where it was attempted to get me to sign something that they wouldn't let me leave with a copy of...all just seemed rushed and high pressure salesman like tactics. I would avoid this place. I may file a grievance if they attempt to bill me anything

Terrible botched liposuction procedure in 2019. Ruined my body and my life forever! I am in physical discomfort and emotional pain every day of my life. Have had 3 revision procedures to try to correct Dr. Bernaki's sloppy and careless results. Unfortunately, I'm out of hope. Worst mistake of my life.

My son had surgery for his Gynechomastia and it looks fantastic! Regained his confidence already and we couldn’t be happier!

Had a horrible liposuction procedure experience from Bernaki. It's been over 3 years now and I have to live with the agony and discomfort every day. As I am writing this now I am uncomfortable because of this man's sloppy and careless work. This man ruined my life! I am left with scar tissue everywhere as a result of him removing too much fat. I have had 2 surgeries from another surgeon to try to improve the areas but unfortunately minimal or no improvement. I was told by the other surgeon I was "overdone". Bernaki had no compassion or empathy for what he did. He would not take any responsibility or own up to his ca relessness. I have spent almost $20,000 trying to correct what he did. Now I'm put all this money and effort. He should not be permitted or have the privilege to provide these services any longer.

Dr. B... Is the best in my opinion, he takes care of his patients and explains everything well... I give him 5 stars. I would recommend any one to him!

Got horrible tissue infection , almost lost my breast was not concerned after surgery . boobs different sizes and ariola's are different sizes as well. my breast were perfect before just large. I ended up in emergency room with IV's . never returned calls . I spent thousands going to other doctors and emergency room. He seemed so great at first. So sad Hate my breast thousands later.

After my consultation with Dr. Bernacki I had questions that I forgot to ask. I called multiple times (I was being annoying) and doctor bernarki and his team was always willing to answer them. I would refer my family and friends to Dr. B., I know they will be in great hands.

Ridiculous botched lipo surgery by Walter Bernaki in June 2019. Aggressive and overdone. Two years later and I am still in agony. He has caused me alot of mental and physical anguish and grief. Not to mention a huge financial burden trying to correct his careless, botched results. He's clearly not an artist. His work is careless and sloppy. A hack job. It's like getting a really bad haircut from an amateur. He and his wife, the "office manager" have repeatedly dismissed my concerns. "You got the services that you paid for," is their response. He damaged tissue and caused me alot of uncomfortable scar tissue. Two years later and 2 revision surgeries that cost me another $10k. I've been to physical therapy to work on the scar tissue. My movement is restricted and it's difficult to sit or stand. Dr. Bernaki never took the time prior to surgery to mark me. He simply eyeballed me while on the table. He should have taken the time to mark me for two reasons: one, to confirm the areas discussed and to be treated as well as the incisions planned but also to delineate areas in the standing position that may change when the patient lies down on the operating table and makes these areas less prominent. Put simply, when you build a house you have a blueprint. He didn't go by any blueprint, he just winged it. The surgeon who has performed my revision surgeries specializes in athletic bodies. He told me that he sees so many patients who come to him for revisions that are overdone. He told me that liposuction isn't a one size fits all procedure, you can't just take out all the fat you can get. Some fat is necessary for the natural contours of the body. He was upfront, setting realistic expectations as to what can be done to improve the overcorrection done by Bernaki. He actually apologized to me that I had to go through the experience with Bernaki, even though it's not his fault. As a board certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years experience, Bernaki should have known better that you have to leave some fat for the natural contours of the body. It's a shame that I wasted all that money on trying to improve myself and now I look and feel worse than I ever did before. A part of me is gone that I will never get back. Bottom line, it didn't have to be this way. I cannot believe that this is the reality I am faced with. I have to live with this botched body the rest of my life! My body and my life ruined in just one hour of liposuction surgery! I will live with the emotional and physical pain for the rest of my life.

My first office visit was an emergency. I was in considerable pain and very stressed following a nasty dog bite. Dr Bernacki was compassionate and reassuring. Everyone in this office exceeded all expectations. This is the best medical care I have ever experienced. This is true for the surgery and several office visits.

Excellent work and genuine bed side manners! Had a tummy tuck with breast augmentation. Did not even need to take any prescribed pain medication and recovery was phenomenal!
