Dr.Bernick delivered both of my children and he was the so kindest doctor I've ever met. I could sit and talk to him about anything we would frequently talk about the stock market. He referred me to Dr. Emanuel who became my kids pediatric.

Dr Bernick was one of the kindest caring Dr to me. I was a scared young 21 year old young lady. Dr Bernice had to have patience of a saint to work with me. I was terrified about giving berth. Poor Dr Bernick he had to ply utton But he “was truly “there” at my side re-assuring me that all was fine. When I asked him how much he thought the baby would weigh, he easily said: about 5 lbs. no worries.
After my daughter was born. I asked a nurse to tell me what the baby weighed and she said: “8lbs 2 Oz—21 inches long.”
When I saw Dr Bernice on his rounds—I asked him: what happened to that little 5 ponder I was supposed to have? And he said, if I would have told you “over 8 lbs—you would have hyperventilated, so, I did what I had to do—and let you rest easy for the remainder of the term—and THEN tell you. He was my hero. I still remember his thoughtfulness—almost (Aug 23, 1967) 54 years ago. Always Rest-In—PEACE Dear Dr Bernick. I am very blessed to have known you.
I hope I see you in Heaven one day.

I do not have any personal memories of Dr. Bernick, but he did happen to deliver me 27 years ago, for which I should be very grateful.



Everyone in my extended family who knew him and were patients of him always spoke very highly of his as a physician and as a person.



My thoughts are with his family and all who knew him.

The great-grandkids!

Dear Bernick family,

How well I remember all 4 of the Bernick girls growing up. We, the 3 Nowell girls, (bette, Bonny and Ina) share so many memories of that childhood. Dr. Bernick delivered my 3 sons. I was with my 98 year old mom a couple of years ago, and bumped into Dr. and Mrs. Bernick at Botanic Gardens. How wonderful it was to see him after all these years. I am so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful doctor, and man.

Love, Ina

births. He was the kindest and most caring doctor I have ever known.I lost my first husband almost 10 years ago and was surprised and thrilled to see him at Ted's funeral.Over the years I've thought of him often and attribute my wonderful family to him. May I offer my sincere sympathy to his family.
