I have been a patient of Dr. Berger's, for approximately 16 years, and want to share my success story. I have several bulging discs and degenerative discs, in my neck and back. I have a bone spurr in my neck as well. I have been to other Chiropractors, in Dallas, but this wellness center lives up to it's name. Because Dr. Berger goes so far beyond the normal manual adjustments, including Holistic allegy treatment, nutrition education, sports rehab and the use of cold laser, he is fully qualified and equipped to identify each person's individual problems. I also have a little osteo-arthritis in my right hip and am prone to joint inflamation. Because I see him regularly, and stay up with my diet and nutritional supplements, I truly live relatively pain free. I now do not need to use Advil or Aleve or any other medication what so ever. In fact my allergies have subsided, and I feel really good. 

Because they treat the source and not the symptoms, I think they are able to fully address the problem and treat the problem. I desire to stay off any medications/drugs, as so many of them have adverse side and long term effects, so I fully recommend anyone who has similar problems to give Highland Park Wellness a good try. I think your progress will speak for itself!! Their staff is excellent, warm and friendly receptionists, and those who assist Dr. Berger when needed are very caring and take the necessary time to spend with each person, in fact, Dr. Berger may run over slightly in tme, on occaision, because he gives such excellent time and attention to those who may be in a lot of pain. If you indicate to the receptionist you are in a huge hurry, they really try and meet each person's schedule as much as is possible. You are never a number at this office!!!! If Dr. Berger finds that you need specialized treatment, he will refer you to another Doctor or healthcare advocate, and he will tell you that straight up, so you can really trust him. I am very grateful to have such great health care providers, and I hope others will be as satisfied as I am. 

My husband, my two boys and I have been Dr. Berger’s patients for over three years. He has treated us for chronic fatigue, muscle sprains and strains, herniated discs, back spasms, allergies, sinus issues, and bruised bones. His holistic approach to healing and overall health has changed our lives and the way we view traditional medicine. 

For example, my oldest son, who at the time was 12, suffered from allergies each fall. We originally gave him an over the counter medicine but his symptoms were getting worse each year. The pediatrician recommended an allergist, who of course, gave us a couple of prescriptions. I told Dr Berger about this during one of my visits and he suggested that I start bringing him in a month before the allergy season started. I was very skeptical because my son played football and I knew it would be impossible for him to perform with his allergies. I even filled his prescriptions just to be on the safe side. To make a long story short, the prescriptions were thrown away and to this day, my son hasn’t taken allergy medication.

Another incident involved my younger son who broke his elbow when he was five. We took him to one of the best orthopedic doctors in Dallas. They put a cast on him and said that he would probably have to wear it for 4 to 5 weeks, nothing unusual. Dr Berger told us to bring him in for laser therapy for his broken arm. My husband and I were both skeptical but Dr. Berger had already cured so many of our ailments, we decided to give it a try. After two and a half weeks and several laser treatments, we visited the orthopedic surgeon again. He took an x-ray to see if the bone was healing properly. Not only was it healing properly, but to our amazement, it had totally healed and the cast came off!
