Bernie is great. Couldn't be happier. Biggest compliment is that he is 100% upfront and honest. He recognized early that what he was doing wasn't likely to fix my issue, so he referred me to get an MRI rather than keeping me coming back for his own benefit (which i've experienced before). Would definitely come back for any of my chiropractic needs

I have been going to Dr Miller for many years now. He is by far the best chiropractor in town. He and his staff really cares about their patients over all health. I highly recommend Performance Chiropractic.

Of all the chiropractors I've been to in my life, these guys rank at the top! They have great rates and accept insurance. I've been an athlete all my life and still in the gym five days a week. Finding a chiropractor that also has experience as a power-lifter was an added bonus! I would absolutely be comfortable recommending Bernie and Performance Chiropractic to anyone for typical chiropractic needs and adjustments, but I would also highly recommend to athletes who sometimes end up with unique strains, pulls and alignment issues.

I pulled a muscle in my back recently and could barely move. It was late in the afternoon on a Saturday and their office was closed, but when I called Bernie and explained that I couldn't move, he didn't hesitate to meet me at his office. He even came in the following day on Sunday (after church of course) for follow-up treatment. Great service! Thank you Bernie and Performance Chiropractic!

Dr Miller knows his stuff. He is a great Chiropractor! He makes you feel welcome. He will sit and talk and give you info, no rushing you in and out. I would recommend him 6 stars if I could!

I've been a patient of Dr. Bernie for over 20 years. Now I bring my kids to him. He is amazing and really knows his stuff. He listens and wants to help. For the past week he has been using his laser therapy on my daughters sprained ankle and the results have been amazing. He is an amazing chiropractor and person. I recommend him to anyone all the time!
