 My
Approach to Orthopedic Treatment
I believe in treating the patient, not just the condition. By
combining state-of-the-art techniques with 30 years of
experience I administer procedures that get results. Over the
year's I have learned that I must first be a good listener. I
develop a dialogue, through which myself and my patients
understand the diagnostic process, their own unique problem,
their treatment choices, and the recovery process. My genuine
concern for my patients helps accelerate treatment by developing
relationships based on mutual respect and trust.
I was recently named the 2004 Physician of the Year by the
Medical Staff at San Ramon Regional Medical Center for providing
outstanding and compassionate patient care. Some of the nominees
had a lot to say why I was so deserving of this award. “Dr.
Bernhoft is a hardworking surgeon…who always serves as an
example to others for compassionate care. He is dearly loved by
his patients and respected by all of the doctors.” Other
comments included, “He quietly goes about doing a great job. Dr.
Bernhoft is one of the most respectable human beings I’ve ever
met."
I know that one of my challenges is to continually grow in
knowledge of medical and surgical advances and incorporate these
advances as practice skills on the highest possible level toward
the solution of patient's medical problems. After 30 years of
providing orthopedic care, I am still passionate about my work,
in a time of wonderful potential.
