I visited Dr Bernath after several years of a progressively worsening sleep problem (exceptionally early rising). I was coming to the end of a period of online CBT and sleep restriction therapy recommended by my GP which had been ineffective and left me more exhausted than before I started. Dr Bernath diagnosed my problem after just a few minutes, explained clearly the background to my issues and suggested a solution. Whilst the consultation was only 2 days ago and it is too early to comment on the solution the clear explanation of the background to my problem has allowed me to manage my sleep around the condition and the understanding of what is going on has already alleviated much of the anxiety around my sleep.
I am so happy that you have received some respite. I am very grateful for your kind review. Please do email me if you need any assistance at any time. Wishing you well always.

Dr Bernath was very informative and kind. He listened patiently and explained things very clearly. He obviously cares about his patients and always takes special care, which I really appreciated.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope you are feeling better.

Dr Bernath takes the time to build a rapport, listens and engages rather than talks at you and most importantly puts things into context for you to understand and relate to, whilst he is clearly extremely knowledgeable about his subject you never EVER feel like you are in anyway not being listened to or having your thoughts dismissed
I am very grateful for your kind words and it is my great pleasure to have been of help.

Dr. Bernath has been very kind and efficient. He had time to listen to me and gave excellent advice about sleeping. He also helped to break a pattern of complete insomnia. He followed up proactively at intervals, showing genuine concern and consideration.
My pleasure indeed and thank you for your kind words. Please reach out to me anytime.
