From my phone call to make my appointment to the procedure itself was top notch and I appreciated…read morethe quality of personal care that was provided to me. I accidentally messed up the procedure and at 2 am had to call for instructions on what to do. I called the doctor's number provided me with the instructions on preparing for the procedure. The doctor called me up within 5 minutes and we rescheduled. This time I did exactly as written and I showed up on time. Sarah my nurse took me back and gave me a warm blanket Before I knew it, it was finished, Doctor went over what was done and I left happy , satisfied, and hungry Excellent job guys!

Dr Gregory Bernstein caused long-term, likely permanent, pain and bowel dysfunction after…read morerecommending and performing a procedure September 2025 which future colorectal providers described as contraindicated to symptoms, without cause (the procedure was on an asymptomatic hemorrhoid, incidentally noted during colonoscopy), and likely with improper technique, due to the facility's preemptive use of nitroglycerin. He rushed through the first appointment we had, and didn't ask many questions. Half my responses were mischarted, and he cut me off wherever I tried to ask questions, or provide detail. When confronted with the severe pain (like, in tears, after previously tolerating a thrombosed hemorrhoid), he was a condescending jerk, and tried to minimize the pain as just anxiety, initially refusing to do any exam, and never performing a DRE, before or after, actively delaying receiving the right diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner which may have helped to undo the damage he contributed to. He just said to schedule an appointment a few months out, canceled a sooner follow up I had, and it would be gone by then if I used Nitroglycerin (which both didn't work, and added to irritation). Bernstein instructed a n to initially refuse to share a list of PT providers, until I finished two more bandings. He then charged my insurance $1k for a second procedure he never performed. (Edit: this was marked as an office surgery in claim, but the CPT code was correct in EOB. He did bill initial visit at 45 to 60 minutes, despite less than 15 minutes of interaction). On Yelp, others have described similar incidents, and being guided into a procedure recommended as "painless", without proper informed consent, and without explanation, concern, or followup when persistent or severe pain is the outcome. The entity had a negative reputation from both a local colorectal specialist, and PT. I tried to switch providers at GastroHealth, stating to front desk that I did not trust Bernstein, but was told that wouldn't be possible, and to seek referral to hospital system (months out) instead, with access to any provider removed. After leaving a negative review due to causing a complication, then cutting off care, Dr Bernstein "graciously" rescheduled video visits (for a rectal injury), where he contributed nothing remotely valuable.

Truly the best doctor I've been to! I literally left the clinic and immediately texted my family to…read moretell them about how happy I was to have finally found a doctor I like. The clinic is small, cozy, and full of plants and cool vintage decor. The exam rooms themselves have a cozy old school vibe as well. The woman at the front desk (whose name I unfortunately didn't catch) was so friendly and gave me a cold bottle of water while I waited; she also talked me thru insurance information so that I'd fully understand my copay and everything. Dr. Bliss had a very calming and kind demeanor, he seems like a person who genuinely enjoys caring for people. Going to the doctor can be a stressful experience, but Dr. Bliss and his partner made it a relaxing one. I'd genuinely look forward to going back! To top it all off, they let me take a couple plants home for free from the waiting room. The best!

I can't say enough good things about Bliss Medical! I had driven past the clinic many times prior…read moreto switching primary care and was always intrigued by the pretty outdoor murals and the jungle of plants in the windows. As soon as I walked into the waiting area, I knew I was in for a positive experience. There has been so much attention to detail put into making the space beyond beautiful and welcoming. The waiting area is such a feast for the eyes that it almost makes me sad that there is never a wait to see the doctor! I could happily spend my whole day in there - especially since Laura is so darn friendly and such a warm and lovely conversationalist! Dr. Bliss is equally amicable. He truly takes time to get to know you, listen to all your concerns, and ensure you feel heard. I'm the kind of person who is skittish around doctors due to having been shamed by them in the past for different issues like weight or lifestyle choices. Dr. Bliss approaches patients in a way that is very affirming and positive and I felt totally at ease expressing all my concerns to him. He gave me all the information I needed without any judgement. I had such a great experience here that I immediately established care for my 14yo here too. My kiddo has a lot of anxiety about going to the doctor but he pretty much echoed all the sentiments I've already stated in this review. After his appointment, he talked a lot about how nice Dr. Bliss was and I noticed he wrote "You guys are awesome!" on his exit slip. That's pretty high praise from a kid who allegedly hates going to the doctor! It's so rare to find compassionate country doctor vibes from a clinic inside the city. I will definitely be recommending Dr. Bliss to all my friends!
