Colin R Bernstein, OD

I have been a patient of Dr. Bernstein for over a year now. I always wanted contacts and I needed bifocal contact lenses. Dr. Bernstein did my exam and order me bifocal contact lens to sample to make sure the lenses were not only comfortable but that I could see clearly. Dr. Bernstein is very patient and professional. Office staff was very professional and friendly. I would recommend this office to family and friends.

I’ve been with Dr. Bernstein for years. He knows his specialty well and treats his patients well. He has a great patient rapport and goes out of his was to help.
Because of my work schedule and distance, I’ve had difficulty getting to his office so I recently went to another local optometrist. She was recommended by a friend. This optometrist (at a large box store) was efficient but when I noticed that my distance vision had changed after 3 months, I returned. I was told that nothing had changed and she just told me that her prescription matched the glasses. No referrals, suggestions, concerns, nothing, it seemed like a defensive move and she tried to quickly get me out of her office. Even the clerk seemed surprised. This would have never happened with Dr. Bernstein.
Given that I thought it might be something more serious, I scheduled an appointment with my opthalmalogist at Scripps. After an hour of tests, he said: «my suggestion is that you find another optometrist, or better yet, go back to your original optometrist, Dr. Bernstein.» I’ve been waiting several months for my work schedule to change so that I can see Dr. Bernstein. I’ll be scheduling an appointment this week!
