I had an excellent experience. Dr Matteo Bernardotto was excellent. I found him to be highly professional and knowledgeable. He also has a great bedside manner. He was able to explain to me what his impressions were after listening to my history, then he did a thorough clinical examination and followed me up with the results. I felt extremely well looked after and informed along the way. I had been to other healthcare providers previously about the same symptoms and did not manage to find any help in reaching a diagnosis up until seeing Dr Bernardotto, so I am very grateful to Dr Bernardotto for his excellent knowledge and clinical skills. I am a GP and have found his work to be really superb. Very well done!

Dr. Bernardotto was very professional, yet kind and easy to talk to. He takes time to understand your concerns and then does a thorough assessment. Answers any questions and provides very clear and understandable diagnosis, treatment proposal etc. I highly recommend him and have done so already.

Excellent - Very nice person and top professional.

Matteo was one of the first doctors I've spoken with who made me feel I don't have to give up going back to running, which is a passion of mine. While I was referred to him for a separate issue, I'd also provided him with information on what was diagonsed as a stage 4 patella degradation issue. The surgeon who'd diagnosed this had told me I should not run as it would hasten the deterioration, and that, in any case, I would need a knee replacement within five years. Moreover, the NHS doctor who recommended that I see Matteo about a different issue had echoed that surgeon's diagnosis that I would be looking at knee replacement surgery within five years. Matteo explained things clearly and directly. His explanation of using localized physio to help strengthen muscles that would help stabilize the knee, and his mentioning that he has the same diagnosis on his knee that I do, which hasn't hindered his activity, was a most uplifiting conversation. Perhaps it was because I so wanted to hear that I could go back to running that made me feel comfortable, but as someone who's career it is to work with people to help them get past blocks and to realize thier potential, I felt his manner of approaching medicine was spot on. As in, don't fill people's minds with the worst case scenarios as their mind will latch on to that. While I may, in fact, need a knee replacement within five yars, who knows, the confidence I now feel with relying on learning physio techniques to build muscles in my leg and in the knee area, give me hope to start running agian. What Matteo gave was a lifetime prescription for physio that will help me continue doing what I love, rather than a kind of dead-end approach of suggesting the replacement is a foregone conclusion. The difference that makes in mindset is incredible. Well done!

Gave me his expected diagnosis, had the tests confirm it, and handled the news on the phone so i didn't require further appointments and went straight into physio

Friendly, professional and exuded confidence. You feel safe in his hands. His detailed explanation, interpreting the MRI, gave me a clear understanding of the problem and a clear way forward to achieve the best possible outcome.

He fully explained what the health issue was, the different remedies available to me and the side effects with each option.

So professional and helpful. Asked good questions, listened well, sorted out my problem shoulder then and there, plus took blood tests straight away. Was generally very impressed by how efficient, knowledgeable and helpful he was.

I consulted with Dr Bernardotto following an acute shoulder pain episode. He took the time and trouble to explain all, interpreting MRI scan data and a thorough physical examination. I left assured and relieved and would have no hesitation in seeking further guidance from him in future.

Dr Bernardotto explained each element clearly to me, and was very patient with my questions, helping me to fully understand my issue. His patience made me feel at ease and confortable to discuss anything i wanted with regards to my injury.
