Not sure what to say?

I often think of Dr. Bernstein. The last treatment I received has kept me in remission a very long time and I had promised to keep him informed of my progress when I moved to N.C. in 2012. I will never forget him. I worked with Dr. Bernstein and was also a patient.

I didn't realize that my time with Dr. Bernstein would be the pinnacle of my experiences with oncology departments. All others pale in comparison to the love and laughter i experienced in his rooms.

I am remembering a very caring and professional Dr. who was wonderful to the nurses. I am also remembering Dr. Bernstein for my healing from Lymphoma and all the other patients he so expertly treated who are still living today.

My profound loss of this beautiful human is unmeasured. I miss you my friend. Your legacy is unparalleled. You saved me from the cancer beast...I will NEVER forget you.

What an amazing doctor and psychological healer. Dr. Bernstein gave me the confidence I needed to slay the cancer dragon and trust in my recovery . He never let me feel anything other than indomitable. He healed me both physically and psychologically and I will miss my visits with him terribly. I am a better person for having known him. Well done Dr. Bernstein. Rest in peace.

He was a very special man, not because he saved my life, but because of who he was and what life meant to him. I will miss him.

Peace be with you all. Dr. Joel Bernstein is one of the most dedicated and caring doctors I have known. I am so sorry for your loss. I want you to know how very much he touched my life and how very much he will be missed.

Happy Times with Joel!

A brilliant clinician, a dear friend, a wonderful human being with a dry, witty sense of humor, and a life-saver for his patients and for my family personally. He will be hugely missed by all he touched. We love you Joel!

Brilliant and compassionate doctor, kind and loyal human being.
Such a great sense of humor. What a wonderful person, contributing so much. We will miss you.
