Dr Bernath saw me and gave me over my allotted time. He listened and noted my concerns, gave me numerous tests explaining everything and reassuring me at all times. He answered all my questions and outlined a course of action. I felt very relaxed all the time, Dr Bernath came across as warm and sympathetic. I left feeling very positive, a feeling shared by my wife
Many thanks for your feedback. I am glad that you had a positive experience.
Dr Oliver Bernath was the neurologist to see my son. He observed my son and gave us a diagnosis which was really reassuring for both myself and my son. He explained my son’s condition to us very clearly and explained what steps we should take for my son to recover. I am grateful and thankful.
Many thanks for your comments. I am glad that I could help.
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 has been very diligent and responsive and solved my medical issues with some ingenuity. I would heartily recommend him
Many thanks. Your feedback means a lot to me.
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.
I met Dr Oliver Bernath to discuss a sleep related issue. I felt very comfortable relating my problem to him. He provided an explanation as to the likely reason why I was experiencing sleep issues and provided a clear treatment plan to help resolve my sleep problem. I was very happy overall with my appointment, and I now have a sense of confidence that my sleep issues can be resolved over time.
Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased to have been of assistance. It is important to me that my explanations are clear and helpful. If you have any more questions or need a more detailed understanding of any aspect of your care, please do not hesitate to contact me directly via email. I offer this complimentary service to ensure the highest level of patient care and understanding. My patients' health and well-being are paramount, and I am here to support you however I can.
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.
Really clear way of explaining all that’s going on. Very kind and thoughtful in making a medication plan. Listened well to my questions and concerns.
It was my pleasure.
Very good
Thank you.
