MikieB, I had my procedure with Dr Bernstein about 3 months ago. He's really honest and doesn't rush you. Wesley949 is right on target, Bernstein's website and the blog are great. I went with my brother for the consult and Dr B was totally straight in telling my brother that he wasn't a candidate and sent him home. I was, thankfully, and so far it's been a great experience. Good luck whereever you go.
