Mass General Brigham Provider Directory

"Dr Bernstein is the best neurologist I have ever worked with. and I've worked with about 12. Is a true collaboration working with her."

Mass General Brigham Provider Directory

"The billing department has no clue what they are doing. I called multiple times to verify my appointment would be covered by insurance... they assured me the worst case scenario would be to pay a higher copay. Well, you can guess what happened. Insurance didn't pay and I was stuck paying $400 out of pocket."
