Dr. Berry is an outstanding physician and surgeon. He has helped me find relief from my chronic back issues. With his help, I've been able to return to, and continue my physical activities. For a time, epidural shots helped. When the the back issues got to be limiting he helped me weigh out the surgical options. The results of the surgery he preformed have been a welcome relief and benefit.

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!

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!

I wanted to see a doctor for my spinal issue. In my past experience other doctors will have their PA’s do all the work and then you get 2 minutes of their time while they tell you what you need to do with limited ability to ask questions. They are hurried and appear as if you are wasting their time because they need to get to the next patient. This was NOT the case with Dr Berry. He talked to me about my issue, went through options, answered questions and was thorough. He put me at ease with a treatment plan that was mutually agreed upon. I was so happy to have conversed with an actual human being who was trying to help me! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate his approach and would suggest him to anyone.

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

Had my initial visit with Dr. Berry to explore options/treatment for my lower back discomfort the other day.

Liked his energy and his ability to outline a treatment plan that I am comfortable with.

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.

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.
