At the time when I first discussed going to the CC with my PCP, I was having a lot of trouble focusing, memory and so forth. A year later, when the appointment was made, my troubles were less prominent. I almost did not go through with the appointment, however with the time it took to book one, and due to Alzheimer's in my family history I decided I should make the appointment. During the appointment, I felt like I was probably wasting Dr. Bernick's time, but he never gave me that impression. He was very patient and explained things very well and took the time to give me examples while directing me on the questions he ran through with me.

I tried to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bernick in the summer of 2023. For 3 months I kept calling for an appointment, I was told I couldn't schedule appointment because his calendar was closed and I would have to keep calling back to see when it would open for me to schedule an appointment. Finally, when the calendar was open, I had to wait six months just to get the appointment to see Dr. Bernick. Nine months is a very long time to wait to see a doctor. Dr. Bernick is a very good doctor. He was caring and took the time to listen to me about my concerns. I received excellent attention and care from Dr. Bernick and his staff the entire time I was there.

For three months, I had to repeatedly call the office to schedule an appointment because the doctor's calendar was closed. No one could tell me when the calendar was going to be open so I had to just keep trying. Finally, when I was able to make the appointment I was told I had to wait six months before I could get into see the doctor. Having to wait nine months to see a doctor is a very long time.
