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!

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!

(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 .

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
