Patient Reviews
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.
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.
Dr. Barry has a pleasant bedside manner. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He answered all my questions and didn’t make feel rushed.

Dr. Berry was very kind and honest that my needs were beyond his scope of expertise . He talked to me with compassion and understanding of my situation and gave me the time I needed to process his statements for my care. Laura Vyncke
Dr. Barry was very informative, kind and took his time answering all the questions we has to ask! Thank you Dr.Barry for helping me get better😀
Dr. Berry explained in detail what it was going to take to fix my issues. He took time to make sure I understood everything about the repairs needed for me to be better. Thank you Dr. Berry for talking to me and not above or through me as I have felt Dr's before have done.
Doctor barry was amazing, so kind and easy to talk to. I would totally recommend him if you have neck pain of any kind.
Nursing and Doc are great!! Friendly and make you feel very comfortable. Recommend to all my friends!!
Dr. Berry is nice, but a bit disappointed that he said he can't do anything to help me.

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!
This place runs like a well oiled machine. I was in and out quickly, but not rushed. The staff is phenomenal and I spoke with my doctor directly over the phone to discuss my options.
Dr. Barry is a very good doctor. He takes his time and explains things very well. His "bedside manners" are excellent. He also did.my.neck surgery several years ago and I've had no problems. He will try other methods before doing any surgery, physical therapy, cortisone shots, etc.
Dr. Berry was very helpful, told me all of my options in a way that made it very easy to understand. I believe he was very honest with me and my diagnosis, gave me realistic expectations and helped me decide which route I needed to take. I know several people that have seen him and gotten the same treatment, and I am thankful I was able to get in to see him.
After two attempts to relieve my knee pain and numbness after my nearly year old knee replacement I appreciated your honesty when you told me the back surgery would not help with the pain I'm having, although I was a little disappointed , I understand !
Excellent professional experience with Dr Berry and his staff.
I am very pleased and thankful that I was referred to Dr. Berry for surgery to repair a herniated disc. He is a great doctor! I am 2 weeks post-surgery and feel better than I have for the past 3 months. Dr. Berry is an excellent surgeon, and is available without waiting months to schedule surgery.
Great. Big help
Dr.Berry is an excellent Surgeon whom I recommend if in need of a lumbar spinal fusion!!! Treat me with genuine care and professionalism.
Fantastic Doctor. Explains everything clearly and concisely. Listens well and is compassionate. He didn’t jump immediately to cutting, but helped me try non surgical methods before deciding surgery is necessary.
I really felt that M.D. Michael Berry was very Thorough in finding the issue in my back after my work accident. I look forward to our follow up appointment. I highly recommend this doctor. He knows his stuff and treats you with respect.
Dr. Berry is a great doctor, he is direct and to the point. Had a knee surgery scheduled then back flared up again, he made it easy to know my next move. Difficult to do physical therapy after a knee replacement with my back at it's worse. He also treated my husband when he broke his back, definitely recommend him.
I saw Dr. Berry regarding severe back pain that I have been experiencing for the past year. I had previously had x-rays and an MRI done with another physician. Dr. Beery was able to view the MRI and also had additional back x-rays taken at the time of my appointment. He discussed the lack of options available to me due to the severity of my condition (severe deterioration from L1 through L5). He was very honest in his view that he didn't consider surgery to be a viable option for me and I appreciated that. I also appreciated the time he took to discuss my situation and what my feelings were regarding surgery. We both agreed that surgery- for me - would not be in my best interest. It is so important to me, when talking with a doctor, to know that they are willing to listen to you, to hear your concerns, and then talk with you to find the best answer for your individual situation. Dr. Berry never made me feel that he was rushed - he made me feel that, as his patient, I deserved his total attention. And that is what my previous doctor (who did the original x-rays and MRI) failed to do. Dr. Berry gets a well-deserved five-star rating from me.

My first experience at ORA was wonderful, and I feel I will be in good hands once I start physical therapy after herniated disc surgery. Staff is very friendly, helpful, and efficient, even though it was extremely busy at the time of my appointment. The painkillers I have had to take lately make me really nauseous and disoriented, and the staff at ORA went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and taken care of. Dr. Berry is also very friendly and explained things respectfully but in such a way that I could fully understand how the procedure works. I trust that it will go very smoothly, but I will post another review in a few weeks :)
Finally a doctor who was straight forward with me. He explained to me what was actually going on in my body and that there is a solution! I very much appreciated that from my whole soul because I have been suffering for so long and I truly thought no one was going to come to me with a solution. I thought this was my forever, my future, a nightmare that’ll never go away. But it’s not and he made that clear and I thank you for that, Dr. Berry! Can’t wait to move forward!
Dr. Berry and his nurse Ms. Terri are absolutely awesome!! They are the best at taking care of their patients. Thanks guys

Very nice & knowledgeable Good staff
Very thorough, and did a fantastic job on identifying the problem, and actually showing me my results from scans and x rays, not many doctors still do that, they just send ya home with a paper saying what's wrong, you did both. I'm both nervous and scared for this surgery, but excited that I'll be in your hands. Thank you again for your time!
I felt very at ease with Dr. Berry he explained everything very well. Everybody was very nice, helpful and made me feel like they knew me.
Excellent visit Dr was upfront totihonet and made me confident in what I believed. He reinforced what my thoughts were.
