11/16/2023

I have been a patient for almost 15 years, I don’t have any major medical issues, but I am always treated with importance. I injured my left knee on Monday, and when I called to see Dr Debarnado, I was told his schedule was extremely full , I left a message about my injury. Within a couple hours his nurse called me , and I was able to see him on the same day. I am a floor installer, and my knees are clearly valuable to my career. I believe he knows that , and he knew how important it was for me to be treated. Very grateful.

11/14/2023

Treats me like a patient and not a potential drug addict. The only doctor I've ever had that actually trusts me and is willing to try addictive medicine instead of just claiming because it's addictive no one should take it.

11/10/2023

Have been seeing Dr Dibernardo for years. Always attentive asks and actually cares about your well-being. I saw another doctor once in this practice that was short and seemed bored in the room with me. He is the best there is! Will never see another doctor!

Best doc around

06/02/2023

People were snippy and rushing, except at the lab. It felt like being on a conveyer belt. Keep moving along, process, the person I needed to talk with was mentally out the door before he entered. Hurried. I had questions to ask but couldn't ask because he went out the door so I went to get him. Still had a couple of questions but he was gone again. I was to have 15 minutes but it was only about 7. Guess I'll find answers another way.

06/01/2023

Appointment was on time which is very important, great interaction

05/26/2023

I like this guy.

05/03/2023

Been with Dr. Dibernardo for over 20 years. Best doctor I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Very thorough. Had problems with mini strokes and one stroke a few years ago. He was right on it from the beginning. He keeps an eye on me, because I'm not very faithful about getting my INR checked, which is a blood test that measures whether my blood is too thick or too thin. Great family doctor. My two kids grew up with him and he asks how they are doing every time I see him. Asks about me when they see him.

05/01/2023

Dr. Dibernardo is simply the BEST. Here is very caring and I feel very comfortable with him. I did not feel rushed, his bedside manner is excellent.

04/29/2023

03/13/2020

My entire extended family has seen Dr. D since he started at Gashland. He cares for all three generations of us.

I would give him 10 stars if it were available.

I feel as though I can tell him anything. He provides diagnoses, understanding, medication, and advice in equal measure. I am proud and grateful to have been his patient for nearly 25 years.

Dr. D is the BEST!! My son and I have gone to him since we moved to the KC area 16 years ago. Dr. D always makes you feel comfortable, listens and most of all he is genuine and cares about his patients. My son and I love our Dr. D and hope he continues practicing for many years to come!!

I absolutely love Dr. DiBernardo. He actually listens to what you think is wrong and goes over other scenarios as well. He takes your health very seriously. I'm hoping to get my boyfriend in to see him so that we can both quit smoking.

Dr Debernardo has been our family physician for over 15 years. We have a very large family and nearly all of us eight children with Children of Our Own go to Dr Debernardo. In 2001 he saved my father's Life by detecting an abnormal heartbeat that he listen to through his stethoscope, it turned out to be 90% blockage in the left main artery, he sent him to a Cardiologist and had open heart surgery and is now 88 years old still going strong! Dr debernardo is awesome for a hangnail or anything else
