Dr. Bernardini is a Harvard-trained, triple board-certified physician with over 13 years of experience performing advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedures.

He received his medical degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey in 1999. Following completion of his surgical training in general surgery at the University of California Davis Medical Center and David Grant US Air Force Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base, California, he served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force in the Republic of Korea, Italy, and numerous deployments around the world. After leaving the Air Force, Dr. Bernardini completed a residency in anesthesiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, followed by a fellowship in interventional pain management at Texas Tech University Health Science Center in Lubbock, Texas.

Along with his partners, Dr. Bernardini helped to develop a successful interventional sports, spine, and pain management practice in the south Denver area where he utilizes primarily minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat patients with chronic pain. While maintaining a busy schedule in his pain management practice, several years ago he began focusing his talents and energies on developing an aesthetics and wellness practice focused on providing safe, evidence-based cosmetic and medical aesthetic procedures.

When not working, Dr. Bernardini can be found spending quality time with his family including acting as referee between his two children, helping his wife facilitate a never-ending home renovation, and taking care of his three dogs, Bronco, Chewy, and Piper.
