Dr. Scott Bernstein, MD

I am a geriatric nurse practitioner who is board certified with the highest nursing organization in this country. I am a primary care provider in geriatrics and do geriatric consultations in an acute care hospital. Unfortunately Dr Bernstein medically cared for my 87 year old mother who recently died in a nursing home of kidney failure. ( of which he wrote on the death certificate hypertension) Dr Bernstein consistently demonstrated through his lack of geriatric documentation in her medical notes his inadequate geriatric clinical assessments and his lack of effort to read up on the latest geriatric guidelines. All of you who are allowing him to care for your elderly relative I would strongly reconsider . ( My opinion from my own personal experience) As a geriatric board certified provider I would strongly recommend to connect with a provider who is familiar and practices up to date geriatric guidelines. He signed an affadavit claiming my mother had decisional capacity (after stating she had memory loss and was unsafe to be alone) which thus resulted in my greedy elderly aunt to become her health care proxy) which subsequently ended in her death in a nursing home of organ failure. He does not use appropriately any new geriatric guidelines required by medicare and recommended by the alzeiheimers association or other expert geriatric groups. He practices medicine in The Willows where my mother passed away. ( no reflection on the nursing home except their choice of providers caring for their elderly). If you like the practice; would strongly suggest Dr. Milos and the newcomer Dr Fitzpatrick. Dr Milis is very knowledgabe; frequently reading up onnnew nedical protocols. Buyer Beware!

Nothing to say besides he's among the top doctors I ever had the privilege of being a patient of.

Dr. Bernstein is an excellent doctor. However, after he hooked up with the Bon Secours system things have gone steadily down hill. Once you get stuck in the vortex there is no getting out. I currently am seeing 4 doctors in the BSHCS and they all see each others notes and no longer do a proper assessment of your current problems. They simply make assumptions based on the other doctors. I am looking to get out to receive proper treatment.
