Advanced Wellness Center

Out of all the chiropractors I have ever seen, Dr. Berry is by far the best. If you are looking for a chiropractor, Dr. Berry is the right choice!
I have lower back problems that have bothered me for years, and I have suffered from multiple athletic injuries. I knew it was time to try and get better after my third hamstring tear in 2011… I started looking around at different chiropractors because I didn’t want to go where I had before – I wanted to find the BEST doctor possible. After a few weeks of researching and asking around, it was clear that Dr. Berry stood out as the best choice. I called and provided my insurance information and the receptionist was very helpful. She scheduled an appointment and I had no problem.
Before my first appointment, I wrote down all of the problems I have experienced through the years so that I didn’t forget anything because I was expecting a typical fast appointment with the Doctor. I am seriously so used to doctors making you wait an hour to see them for two minutes and hardly having enough time to talk to them. When I arrived at Advanced Wellness center, I only waited about fifteen minutes to see the doctor, and to my surprise, he SAT DOWN and started asking me questions! I could tell he genuinely cared. He wanted to know my full history and was in no rush. He was taking his time to fully evaluate me. He gave me an adjustment and created a treatment plan for me. I have never been more impressed!
His staff was extremely professional and helped me understand my benefits through my insurance. They helped me schedule appointments that lined up with Dr. Berry’s plan and my insurance coverage. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t be pleased with both Dr. Berry and his staff. It’s a rough world out there – I am treated poorly more often than not – but at Dr. Berry’s office I am treated like a human being and a valued patient and customer.
I have continued seeing Dr. Berry for the past 4 years, and I am happy to say that my lower back problems are better than they have ever been. Going to Advanced Wellness center has been one of the best decisions of my life. I am physically healthier than I have ever been. I am not getting injured anymore, AND I can function again at work, school, and athletically, which is far different from the shape I was in back in late 2011.
I highly recommend Advanced Wellness Center to everyone I know. My family, friends, and coworkers have all started seeing Dr. Berry and they are as impressed as I am!
Thank you Dr. Berry and staff!!!

Dr. Berry and his staff are AMAZING! He is the only chiropractor I will go to. He listens and cares about his patients. My kids are extremely busy with sports and Dr. Berrys office is able to accommodate their schedules and we never have to wait. If our appointment is set for 10am then that is when he calls us back. Thank you for all you do.

Here’s my experience before I could even make an appt.
I called and the receptionist answered. I said «hi! I’m new to this town and am 31 weeks pregnant. I’m looking for a chiropractor that can help put my hips back where they belong» and then I laughed.
She said would you be cash or do you have insurance.
I said insurance.
She said what kind.
It’s a supplemental benefit through my employer. I have a $ 100 deductible and then then the insurance gets billed.
She said what kind of insurance.
I said I’m not sure what you’re asking but I am not limited to any specific provider.
She said the name.
I said I don’t know the specific name as its supplemental and not a direct part of my health benefits.
Then I said, never mind. I have been on the phone with you for 30 seconds and you care more abut how I’m going to pay rather than helping me. Thank you.
And then I hung up.
Now, I fully understand that it’s important that Dr. Berry need to be compensated for his services. And I have no issues with that. My issue comes in that he receptionist could have at least said been less aggressive and could have listened a bit better to what I was saying. We clearly we not understanding each other.
I am already nervous enough having to find a new chiropractor, in a new town, while I am 31 weeks pregnant. This was my first impression of this office and unfortunately has left a very bad taste in my mouth.
From the search results it looks like I may be out of luck in getting relief as it appears only Dr. Berry does prenatal chiropractic care.

I started coming to Dr. Berry towards the end of my pregnancy due to back pain. It was my first time ever visiting a chiropractor and I was a little nervous. Dr. Berry and his staff at Advanced Wellness Center were very professional and friendly and immediately made me feel comfortable during my appointment. The appointment was less than 15 minutes and I noticed a huge difference in my back pain. They also offer prenatal massage which is a nice addition after you get your adjustment. I highly recommend A.W.C for anyone looking for a great chiropractic experience!

Dr. Berry is wonderful! I am pregnant and this was my first time going to a chiropractor. He put my mind at ease as well as made me feel great! After my appointment with Dr. Berry I was scheduled for a prenatal massage with Reina, it was great! She used firm pressure and focused on the areas needed! Thank you!

Great Dr and Great Staff. First time here and loved it! Everyone there is very professional and they made me feel very comfortable being my first time there. Would highly recommend them to everyone!

Dr is very knowledgeable and took time to explain his practice to me. I had my first adjustment but my upper back is still bothering me bum going to head back today hopefully seeking relief.

I had never been to a chiropractor before and had no idea where to go, but pregnant with my third baby I could barely walk I was hunched over in a lot of pain. I googled «pregnancy chiropractor bakersfield» and Dr Berry kept coming up so I made an appt. I was very pleased, he actually spends time talking to you and explains everything he’s going to do before he does it so you aren’t nervous. I’ve been a few times now and I will continue to see him after I have the baby, he’s very nice & actually gets to know his patients. I cannot speak highly enough of him, if you need a chiropractor don’t hesitate to make an appointment.

I was in bakersfield as a travel nurse and threw my back out and could barely walk. I made an appt for an adjustment and massage here and thank god I did. The dr was very personable and helpful but the massage was hands down the best Id ever had. I have bad sciatic pain and the next day I felt like new. I wish the massage therapist would move to Pittsburgh!

The thing that stands out to me about Dr. Berry is the variety of techniques he can use. He’s particularly effective treating soft tissue problems using Graston tools. Finding a provider with that certification is not always easy to find which makes him a specialist in his field. It’s nice to see someone who can not only adjust the spine but also treatment a variety of things.

I began seeing Dr. Berry in 2011, after suffering a back injury due to a car accident. I love his office, as all of the staff are professional and personable. I went several months without going in, then today my neck started acting up so bad that I called his office after work and I was getting adjusted 20 minutes later. They got me right in with no problems and a very short wait. I hadn’t been into his office for about a year and a half and he still remembered my daughter’s name! You can tell he really cares about his patients and enjoys his job.
I highly recommend him and would never go to another chiropractor as long as he is around.

I really liked this experience. I hurt myself about a year before I went, and still had some nagging lower back pain. They did an adjustment and put me on a machine that really helped me move freely! So now I’m pain free and able to more fluidly than I thought would be possible after my fall on the stairs. I had begun to accept I would always have some residual pain, but not even a twinge since my visit 6 months ago!

I have been to Dr. Berry’s office multiple times over the last several weeks. I am highly impressed with his patient, warm manner. I have never once felt rushed during my appointments. He is always willing to take the time to discuss any questions I have or explain something I ask about. He is very personable, professional, knowledgeable, and efficient.
His office staff are friendly and remember me by name when I walk in. Scheduling appointments is painless and quick. No long wait times.
The office is small, but comfortable and clean.
I’d highly recommend Dr. Berry if you need a chiropractor. :)

I tried to make my first appt and got voice mail, left my name and number. They never called back to schedule an appt.

Love Dr. Berry. He is extremely detail oriented and passionate about what he does.

I’ve always hated going to the chiropractor. Other doctors just bring me back, hook me up to a machine, crack me and kick me out. But Advanced Wellness Center with Dr. Berry is amazing! He has helped so much with managing my symptoms and has gave me back my normal life with my family. He is the nicest, most honest, most caring person i’ve ever met! His staff and other doctors always greet me with a smile and are just as amazing! The office is so relaxing and calm, it doesn’t even feel like a doctors office it feels more like a spa. As long as I live in Bakersfield I will continue to visit Advanced Wellness Center and all of its wonderful employees.

I have been seeing Dr. Berry for the past several months and he and his staff are great! They are extremely professional and super nice. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be called in for my appointment and scheduling a last minute (same/​next day) appointment has not been an issue for me either. They try to be as accommodating as possible.
Also, he doesn’t try to get you to stick with some sort of «treatment plan» as a lot of the chiropractors/​wellness centers in town do. HUGE RELIEF! The Advanced Wellness Center also offers massages and acupuncture!
As long as I am living in Bakersfield, Dr. Berry shall be my chiropractor!

I am still currently seeing Dr. Berry for my chiropractic needs and he is still offering excellent care! Unfortunately, they no longer offer acupuncture and he has also gotten a lot busier in the past few years but no need to fret– he is open from 8 – 6 daily to accommodate his patients.
