Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Berg was my 3rd opinion and I couldn't be happier with the decision to choose him for my surgery. I was able to avoid a multi-level fusion (for a variety of spine issues) and Dr. Berg's conservative approach allowed me to be free of nerve pain with a single level fusion. He was very confident in his decision to eliminate the biggest source of pain that would allow me the mobility I had lost. My sedentary lifestyle is gone and I am taking multiple walks daily (SINCE THE DAY OF MY SURGERY 4 WEEKS AGO!) I would absolutely recommend Dr. Berg!! The hospital staff was also very complimentary of Dr. Berg!

Was referred to Dr. Berg for a cervical fusion procedure. Met with him twice before proceeding with the operation. The procedure went as planned and my short term recovery has been exactly as described.
