Please note that ultimate responsibility for payment rests with you. Should any insurance claim be declined then you will be required to pay the outstanding balance.

Patients who are Self-funding

A GP referral letter will be helpful but is not essential. Please ensure you bring a method of payment on the day: credit/debit cards or cash payments are accepted.

Testimonials

After numerous visits to the local GP with our son, we were fortunate to receive a referral to Dr Bernstein who was able to provide us with an immediate diagnosis for our son’s condition. Not only does he carry out a thorough examination, he also takes a genuine interest in his well-being and will take the time to address our concerns as anxious first time parents and answer all of our questions. We always leave our appointments with Dr Bernstein feeling completely reassured that our son is in safe hands and receiving the best care possible.

As parents your number one priority is your child’s well being. Dr Bernstein put our mind at rest, we have confidence in him assessing and treating our baby and toddler. He has seen both our children for minor and major concerns since they were 10 weeks old and has helped us significantly. He is very friendly and approachable not only with parents but children too. No issue is too small for him. We would highly recommend him.

Our experience with Dr Bernstein during the treatment of our son has been overwhelmingly positive. From the initial diagnosis, through the ongoing consultations until the discharge, he was reassuring and offered so much expertise around the case. Our young son was at ease during the consultations and as first time parents, the treatment and attention we received was so reassuring. Our baby is now fully better and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Bernstein to family and friends.

Initially we were first introduced to Dr Bernstein via a close friend whose daughter had been unwell and he had looked after her at an NHS Hospital. There are times where you are concerned about your child’s health and decide that they need medical assistance. The moment you make the call to Dr Bernstein and hear his voice you know that your is about to receive the best care, he is calm, reassuring and his advice is always 100% accurate. Dr Bernstein spends time examining your child whilst keeping them and you relaxed however stressful the situation is – his presence in itself is comforting.
