Patient Reviews
Dr Barry was very kind and very thorough. He explained the procedure in a clear, gentle, and understandable way. He answered all our questions and addressed our concerns. I'm getting a second opinion, from a Dr. at Rush Hospital that is being referred to us from Dr Barry, only because the thought of back fusion surgery is something I consider to be a big decision and that's just my personality. As well as words of advice that I've always heard. Thank you Dr Barry!
My experience went very smoothly and efficiently. Wait time was extremely minimal. Dr. Berry was very professional and friendly, putting me at ease.
Dr. Berry & his staff were very attentive and extremely kind. I have had severe back pain and the office sceduled an appointment for me the next business day. Dr Berry was so knowledgeable and personable He explained things professionally and patiently, in a manner completely understandable. I am happy to get on the path to healing. Thanks so much, Dr. Berry & Staff! ⭐️ Highly recommend!
ORA,Always take care of his patiences I like their services. thank you i got a Appt.for Monday 29. at 10:30 am. i will be there.
Everyone was polite and efficient. Dr. Berry gave his professional opinion during visit and scheduled a MRI to confirm. Appreciate his concern and resolve to address the issue.
Dr Berry is great! He helped me 11 years ago with a spinal fusion and is seeing me for an unrelated problem now. Highly recommend!!!
Great consultation. He walked me through every step of what he saw on the MRI and helped me understand the surgery and all of the options I have given my case and symptoms. Highly recommend.
Very nice and Explains things well
If I could give Dr Berry 10 Stars I would. I went to him seeking help for my sciatica pain. He listened when no one else would, He's very understanding, very clear in what his plan would be to fix my sciatica. 7 weeks post-op and I feel absolutely wonderful better than I was over a year ago when it all started, I highly recommend Dr Berry
Dr. Barry is amazing! After my car accident injury I was in excruciating pain due to a cervical spine injury that was misdiagnosed by ER. When getting in to see Dr. Barry he explained everything that was going on did same day MRI and had surgery scheduled right away to fuse broken vertebrae in my neck, I had immediate pain relief after surgery! To say I was nervous going into surgery would be an understatement but thanks to Dr. Barry and his amazing staff and staff at unity point Rock Island I am on the road to recovery!
Dr. Berry is amazing and very detailed when explaining what our plan of action is. Honest and straight forward. Best in the QC hands down!
Dr Berry listened to everything my wife and I had to say about the problem with my back. He evaluated my MRI and explained what needed to be done. Surgery was done expertly.
Friendly staff. Giving me a clear look at my diagnosis
(Translated by Google) I was a patient of Dr. Berry. He performed surgery on me at L4 and L5 and other procedures there. I am eternally grateful. Dr. Berry is very professional. My surgery was a success and now, after 6 weeks, I am walking very well without the help of a walker. His entire team is very ethical and efficient, which I greatly appreciate. And I congratulate Dr. Berry. 100 percent recommended. Thank you, Dr. Berry. God bless you. (Original) Fui Paciente Dr Berry Me practico Cirugía de L4 L5 y otros procedimientos en la misma .

Loved the way he explained everything in good or bad experiences in every way I would recommend him to anyone with back issues
I would recommend Dr. Berry to others. He helped me understand the location of my pain. He was polite and took time to address my concerns.
Dr. Berry was professional, compassionate, and informative. He is an excellent surgeon, and explains information in a straightforward style. He went above and beyond to make sure I received a high level of care in a timely manner. Thank you!
Dr Berry was very professional. He listened to my concerns and went over my options for treatment. He made me feel very comfortable with my upcoming surgery. Also Dr Berry’s staff is wonderful.
All good
Very professional very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable
I’m a retired teacher and wrestling coach of 35 years. I abused my body and did things that several adults told me that I shouldn’t. I wrestled for 13 years at a high level in High school and college, before taking on coaching. I was a hands on type coach until my late forties. I have had several injuries and aches & pains! Last year, I developed a bad static nerve pain that altered my life ! I tried therapy, pain pills, chiropractic care , continsone injections and nothing cured the pain I was suffering. I chose Dr. Berry to treat me, he immediately got me in for a MRI and two days later performed L-2 & L-3 vertebrate surgery. It was amazing relief without any rehabilitation needed! I got my life back and can enjoy things again! Very pleased with my results… Dan
Very through and pleasant to discuss my situation
Dr. Berry was very attentive and helpful. Answered my questions thoroughly. I felt well taken care of and would undoubtedly return to his care if needed. Thank you for your knowledge and care
It was my first visit . Dr. Barry was very cordial very nice and the staff were wonderful too. We’re just doing tests right now in MRI to see what’s going on.
I wish he could have help me. I here he a very good surgeon.
Had my initial visit with Dr. Berry to explore options/treatment for my lower back discomfort the other day. He was patient, asked a lot of questions, performed a couple of initial tests, etc. He did not jump to any conclusions, ordered some PT, an MRI, and scheduled a follow-up meeting. Liked his energy and his ability to outline a treatment plan that I am comfortable with.
Dr. Berry was great. He explained everything very well. He quickly put me at ease. I had waited two weeks for the results of the MRI, anxiously waiting and expecting the results to be much different. Thank you for putting me at ease!! Gene Frey
Dr. Berry and his staff are great! He always takes time to listen and explain options. Great doctor and great nurses!
Dr Berry performed a minimally invasive 2 level lumbar fusion on me and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He was very thorough, took time to answer my questions and listened to my concerns. His office team was super with responding to questions and calls and helping with needed paperwork. 10 out of 10 experience!
Dr Barry has done several of my surgeries. He is excellent, honest snd upfront with your cares. My most recent surgery was unplanned and an emergency. Dr Barry again was honest about what I was facing and as far as my daughter and I see it, he saved my life. This was a bad infection in the blood. Thank You Dr Barry. You are now and will always be my hero. I feel blessed every day Im alive. Highly recommend Dr Barry.
Dr. Barry and Staff very professional took away my pain very quickly
Dr. Berry is an excellent surgeon who does nothing short of amazing work. He made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout my injury. I had a total disc replacement between my C5-C6 and it honestly feels as strong or stronger than before my injury. Dr. Berry and his exceptional staff are top notch and I would highly recommend to anyone!
Dr Barry explained my surgery simply and completely and the follow up from his and his office was exceptional.
So thankful for Dr. Berry. He was very good at explaining what would happen during my back surgery. I highly recommend him to anyone that is suffering with back issues. My back feels awesome!🤗
As always great.
Very happy with everything. All good!
I work in medicine myself. I’m sure he can recite what he says to patients in his sleep. He seemed rushed. I forgot to ask, but it would have been cool to actually see my MRI films. He answered my questions but seemed to have one foot ready to get out the door. He did say surgery was not his first option based on my presentation. That made me happy!
So incredibly thankful for Dr. Berry! He was wonderful at explaining exactly what was going on with my back. Day of surgery he thoroughly explained everything answered all of our questions & surgery went great! Highly recommend!
They are. Very professional friendly staff I have had several procedures done by them. Would re to anyone
The doc is great, feel much better now after surgery
Dr. Berry was so good about explaining everything to me from showing me where my problem was , explaining the surgery and giving me stats on what might happen after. I feel so confident about getting my surgery done by O.R.A.
I was referred to Dr. Berry for neck/shoulder pain. I had several surgeries over the past few years and was not wanting another. Dr. Berry came into the room, totally familiar with my case and explained what he saw and what he recommended. He was patient, kind, and answered all our questions. I had the surgery in Sept. and am so much better! I believe he diagnosed me correctly and saved me from much worse problems in the future.
Dr. Berry came to the exam room well versed on my radiology test results. He explained my options and made referrals to meet the needs of my case. While he was not able to perform the extensive and complicated surgical procedure required, he provided me with options to address my pain and directed me to medical facilities that would be able to perform surgery should I need/want it in the future. He shows a high level of compassion in his interaction with me.
Dr. Berry performed a miracle on my messed up back. From the time he was recommended, through surgery and then follow up he lives up to all the great comments that led me to him in the first place. Professional and caring with great staff. I hope I never have to have another back surgery but if I do, I would only use Dr. Berry.
Dr Berry was very professional and informative. He explained the procedure and answered all of my questions. He was confident and shared both the pros and cons of outcomes of my surgery. I am hoping to get scheduled as soon as possible.
Dr. Berry was very friendly and professional. I appreciate that he was honest and told me surgery was not needed. I would highly recommend.
Dr Berry was very nice. He is very helpful in letting me know what is going on with my back.
Great doctor takes the time to explain what us going on with your health.
I visited Dr. Berry after well over 12 years of back pain but earlier this year I pulled my back so bad that my L4 L5 were slipped and pinching the nerve down my leg. I couldn’t walk without a cane or a walker. End result is that Dr. Berry got me in and took care of me. I was nervous before meeting Dr. Berry but after meeting him and hearing his knowledge of my problem gave me confidence in putting my back in his hands. I was up at walking after 2 hours of my surgery, without a cane or walker. I haven’t felt this good in well over 12 years and can now sleep over 6 hours in bed without my back locking up on me anymore and no pain during the day any longer. Thank you Dr. Berry for the AMAZING job on relieving the pain I no longer have.
Dr Berry was very thorough and listened to my issues and gave me some great options.
Very pleasant, informative, punctual and caring.

I had an appointment with Dr. Berry, I was about 15 minutes early and they got me right in. After I was examined he explained everything to me so I could understand stand what I was needing done.
XLIF procedure performed by Dr Berry. I’m very happy with the results.
Listen closely to what has been giving issues and then explained MRI and X-ray results and what he felt was the next step to get me back to as normal life as able.
I went misdiagnosed for years by numerous providers and therapists (15+) for severe low back/sacral pain. I saw Dr Berry who listened intently to my history and coordinated a diagnostic SI joint injection for me. It has been life changing and I can’t thank him enough for the time he spent with me. After 3.5 years of crippling pain I finally have my quality of life back and working full time again.
Dr. Berry was very forthcoming & communicative in regards to my surgical procedure & what to expect after surgery. He even came by my hospital room to check on me the next day. This was my first surgery &: he reassured me my operation was common & everything would be just fine.
Listened to me and all my questions and concerns
Up front with options and very personable. Very prompt and timely office visit also!
Dr. Barry was the best. He was clear and concise on everything that was going to happen before, during and after surgery. Answered all my questions and made sure I was confortable and understood everything. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Dr. Berry. He has now done my neck and recently my lower back. He doesn't do unnecessary surgery. He is straight forward, explains everything and why things need or not to be done. I am a person who chooses natural treatments. Dr. Berry listed to my questions and concerns and takes the time to make sure you understand what and why of things. Love the staff that work with him.
Dr Berry explained my problem very clearly and gave me time to ask questions, and gave me answers. He is an orthopedic spinal surgeon.
I was very worried about back surgery the Ora group and Dr. Berry were outstanding!
Dr Berry was very professional and thorough in explaining my issue. His recommendations were were inline with all the imaging I had done. He did not pressure me into making a decision right away. I am confident that if I do proceed with a procedure he will be the best physician to have.
Dr. Berry explained my options sufficiently and detailed the surgical procedure he would perform if/when I go that route.
I started seeing Dr. Berry in 2018 and he’s done cervical and lumbar fusions on me. I’m a very complicated case as he’s mentioned but I always feel I’m in good hands with him. He’s always truthful and straightforward with what he see’s and what he thinks the next step will be. Very knowledgeable as well.
Out family has had great experience with Dr. Berry. Most recently I consulted with him on surgery for my lower back to treat stenosis. He was very objective in his diagnosis, and the complexity of my situation. As much as I would have liked him to say he could easily address my pain, he did not try to "sell" me on a surgical procedure. He did back surgery for my wife and she was very happy. I believe you can be very comfortable and confident working with Dr. Berry.
Dr. Berry is the best. He takes the time to talk to you. Never rushing through a visit. Very professional, a caring man, a good man. His staff is second to none. My wife and I have known Dr. Berry several years and feel very comfortable to recommend him to all.
Very impressed with Dr Berry. Explained everything thoroughly. Honest and to the point.
I fell and broke all three bones in my right ankle. Dr.Berry and his team has been wonderful! They give me a sense of direction by educating me on my injury and what is next to come. His team keeps me in the light while I’m in this unknown place of recovery . Thank you Dr.Berry and staff for all that you do ! I would highly recommend you to see Dr.Berry or staff of ORA for anyone your orthopedic needs.
Dr. Berry took the time to review my chart in-depth prior to my appointment and really dedicated his attention to me and my concerns. I left feeling assured and confident about the next steps.
Dr. Berry is the best. He explains everything to where it's easy to understand. He takes his time with me at every appointment. I definitely trust him.
Dr gave details of my MRI and what my options were.
Dr. Berry exceeded all my expectations. He was easy to talk to, knowledgeable and honest. I am absolutely confident in his care!
The first thing Dr. Berry asked was for me to tell him in my terms what was going on, how I felt, even though he had already analysed my preliminary tests. I appreciated that. He thoroughly discussed my options for treatment and let me decide what to do. Excellent.
Well I don’t know how to start this off. Saying that Dr.Berry will go down in my book as a HERO !!!!! I personally believe he knows exactly what he is talking about when he comes into the room to speak to you and inform you on your prognosis.I being defiant with everything in life went against his advice and opted for a “shot” to kinda numb the pain til I could make it to the off season. Long story short it didn’t work long, til it did exactly what he said it would do and blew out completely demobilizing my left leg! Which the original problem was right side so it had gotten worse by 3xs within a months time! So I went back to the ORA to see the Dr.Berry again and he came in went right to work for me lined up surgery the very next day! Went in for surgery no hiccups or problems came out of surgery walking unassisted ready to go! I suggest anyone looking for a surgeon that is smart ,caring and that’s willing to take care of the issues you’re going through with your body pick him. Dr Berry in my opinion is the best there is!
Very informative and caring really like him
Was great to not be rushed during my visit to talk about my back issue and come up with a solution to fix the issue. Had to wait a little longer than hoped in exam room, but I am sure he was talking in depth with another patient also. Good experience in all.
Excellent advice and honest straightforward counsel.
Dr. Berry was prompt, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to my concerns & gave honest recommendations. Very impressed by him and his staff. Highly recommend!
