"Dr. Bernsen came highly recommended by a couple of friends. After avoiding my first colonoscopy for a few years, I finally got it over with and felt silly for the delay. Nobody likes the prep. It is what it is! The day of the procedure was a breeze! From the front desk to the nurses, techs, anesthesiologist and Dr. Bernsen, everyone was kind, caring and efficient. Everything was explained throughout and I felt well cared for."

"The actual appointment went very well. The office staff were friendly and very efficient. My meeting with the doctor was brief, but my issue was discussed and a treatment plan set in place. The main issue was trying to get through via phone to the main desk. I tried for a week. Kept putting me into a hold pattern then it said leave a voicemail. Which I did several times and never got a return phone call. I then went online and set up an appointment request and finally got a phone call. Not sure what the situation was as the office seemed adequately staffed when I was there."

"I highly recommend Dr. Bernsen and his medical team for the exceptional way in which they carried out my colonoscopy. Before the exam, I received detailed instructions--over the phone when I made the appointment, in a follow-up email, and during a phone call several days before the exam--which completely prepared me. Leading up to the exam, the nurses and the anesthesiologist were so helpful. I'm impressed with the way Dr. Bernsen explained what would happen beforehand, how he conducted the procedure efficiently and skillfully, and how he gave me the results with photographs of my large intestine. I am so grateful!"

I have no symptoms & he has my history but apparently this is a new requirement. It wasn’t a big inconvenience because his office is near. All the information gathered could have been handled over the phone. Everyone was pleasant & efficient."

5.0 Review from A.O. Source: Google May 25 2021

"Dr Bernsen is a phenomenal doctor. I am speaking as Dr. Bernsen’s patient but also as a medical provider. I came to see Dr. Bernsen for second opinion after seeing someone else for 7years. I was hesitent of leaving my previous doctor because you get attached. However, I knew I was not getting the symptom relief or quality of life I deserved. My ulcerative colitis was simply not treated. Now, boy am I thankful I saw Dr. Bernsen. For the first time I saw a light at the end of my tunnel. If anyone has moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, you know how bothersome signs and symptoms get, how drained and hopeless you can feel. Long story short, you do not feel yourself. Can’t enjoy food, have normal bowel movements, plus your social life, mood and sleep is affected. I’m thankful because Dr. Bernsen took care of me. He offered me medications my previous provider never mentioned. And after 1 tablet of prednisone Dr.Bernsen prescribed, my symptoms improved drastically. I can not say enough of how thankful I am of getting my life back. All my ulcerative colitis signs and symptoms resolved after incorporating a new treatment plan. I can eat normal again, have my energy back, and I do not need to worry about having a bathroom close by. A very grateful patient, A.Opiela"

"Dr. Bernsen is a consummate professional. He thoroughly looked at my wife's history and suggested a method of examination that took into consideration her specific health issues. He calmly, confidently, thoroughly and reassuringly advised us about the upcoming colonoscopy which gave us peace of mind. I was so impressed that I will be scheduling my own colonoscopy with Dr. Bernsen this fall. Just wanted to add and update that my wife had her colonoscopy with Dr. Bernsen and it went extremely smoothly and Dr. Bernsen continued his care in a very cordial and professional manner."
