I met with him for a consultation on potential REM sleep Disorder. I had many questions which he answered with clarity and authority. A friendly ,calm and reassuring manner.
Very knowledgeable and thoughtful consultation. Dr Bernath clearly has significant expertise in restless legs syndrome and sleep disorders, and approached the consultation in a balanced and evidence-based way. I felt listened to and came away with a clear and sensible treatment plan.
Very friendly yet professional and insightful gentleman, I learned some new things about what I was experiencing and was quickly presented with a suitable and coherent treatment plan. I cannot comment yet on the efficacy of the plan however given the knowledge involved, I have high hopes. Many thanks.
Dr. Bernath is very professional, knowledgeable and kind. I was very much reassured by his calm manner and had the feeling that I am in a safe pair of hands.

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.
