Thomas R. Bernik, MD

Vascular Surgery

 The biggest thing we can do for the care of patients who are really sick is maintain our focus on quality, quality, quality. I have always embraced a strong personal and professional ethic for patient care, wellness and illness. It is a honor to participate and lead globally acknowledged academics and research, to which I am personally and professionally committed. The Englewood Hospital multispecialty team approach enables my staff and colleagues to deliver the best comprehensive care of my career.
