I had a major back problem I was walking sideways for almost a year an have almost givin up on becoming normal aging. I found Dr. Burhert though my insurance he went beyond his job to come to a solution of recommending meds an MRI scan to find the root of the problem when normal chyropractic practices rendered ineffective an even recommended a surgion, I can now live a normal life I can walk straight with no pain his determination to fix problem beyond normal practices has shown me his passion of his career an that he really cares about his patients beyond other doctors Thank you doctor Burhert you changed my life.

After a car accident, Dr. Bernhard adjusted my neck and back over several months and got me moving again without pain. Since then I had more issues and his hands work magic. I come limping in and walk out the door. I can highly recommend his services.

Dr. B really knows what he's doing. He's helped sort me out in a short amount of time rather than taking medication all the time. He's also very flexible in schedule and conveniently located for me.

I am so glad I found him! I have literally been suffering for years and have finally found relief here. He works especially well with veterans. He's patient, thorough, generous with his time and always seems to be available and fits with my schedule. Thank you so very much for continuing to help me heal.
