Very friendly and easy to talk with, felt very comfortable!
I met Dr Bernardotto last month having suffered from chronic back pain for 2 years. His knowledge, empathy and patience instilled a belief that had been lacking from my meetings with other medical professionals.He applied a forsenic analysis to my symptoms which reflected a commitment to my health. The time he spent with me was based on my needs and not time determined. I would highly recommend Dr Bernardotto to anyone with muscular or skeletal issues as he is exceptional. Andrew P
I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Bernardotto and the considered care I received. I arrived at his clinic with right groin pain that kept me from pursuing my sporting hobbies (football in particular). This had previously been misdiagnosed as a sports hernia or groin injury. After attentively listening to my concerns he conducted various diagnostics and the MRI confirmed a PLAC injury with a slight adductor tear. Dr. Bernardotto reassured me that he is fully committed to returning me back to full health and tackled the diagnosis holistically. Through a combination of physiotherapy and PRP injections I was able to return to my beloved hobby stronger than ever. I am forever grateful to you Dr. Matteo for your compassionate and insightful care. The joy and mental relief I felt after returning from a long injury cannot be overstated! Wish you and your team all the very best.
I went to see Dr Bernardotto after an ankle injury. I’d never had a limiting injury of this nature before but he was really good. Very knowledgeable, sympathetic and explained everything to me really well. He really did give me the best care and ensured a proper schedule of physio / follow up treatment.
Clear diagnosis and examination including a good explanation of what was seen during the ultrasound. Practical advice regarding treatment options. Friendly and professional manner. Easy to understand.
Dr Bernardotto is lovely. He listened to all my symptoms and concerns I had, was able to diagnose quickly, then put a clear treatment plan in place. I would highly recommend him!
I had an excellent experience. Dr Matteo Bernardotto was excellent. I found him to be highly professional and knowledgeable. He also has a great bedside manner. He was able to explain to me what his impressions were after listening to my history, then he did a thorough clinical examination and followed me up with the results. I felt extremely well looked after and informed along the way. I had been to other healthcare providers previously about the same symptoms and did not manage to find any help in reaching a diagnosis up until seeing Dr Bernardotto, so I am very grateful to Dr Bernardotto for his excellent knowledge and clinical skills. I am a GP and have found his work to be really superb. Very well done!
Dr. Bernardotto was very professional, yet kind and easy to talk to. He takes time to understand your concerns and then does a thorough assessment. Answers any questions and provides very clear and understandable diagnosis, treatment proposal etc. I highly recommend him and have done so already.
Matteo was one of the first doctors I've spoken with who made me feel I don't have to give up going back to running, which is a passion of mine. While I was referred to him for a separate issue, I'd also provided him with information on what was diagonsed as a stage 4 patella degradation issue. The surgeon who'd diagnosed this had told me I should not run as it would hasten the deterioration, and that, in any case, I would need a knee replacement within five years. Moreover, the NHS doctor who recommended that I see Matteo about a different issue had echoed that surgeon's diagnosis that I would be looking at knee replacement surgery within five years. Matteo explained things clearly and directly. His explanation of using localized physio to help strengthen muscles that would help stabilize the knee, and his mentioning that he has the same diagnosis on his knee that I do, which hasn't hindered his activity, was a most uplifiting conversation. Perhaps it was because I so wanted to hear that I could go back to running that made me feel comfortable, but as someone who's career it is to work with people to help them get past blocks and to realize thier potential, I felt his manner of approaching medicine was spot on. As in, don't fill people's minds with the worst case scenarios as their mind will latch on to that. While I may, in fact, need a knee replacement within five yars, who knows, the confidence I now feel with relying on learning physio techniques to build muscles in my leg and in the knee area, give me hope to start running agian. What Matteo gave was a lifetime prescr...

NeurosurgeonThere are very few clinicians who can be rated so highly; the combination of his osteopathic approach alongside an exemplary knowledge base in SEM is specifically unique. He is one of the very few doctors who is also expertly skilled in ultrasound guided injections including spinal procedures.
