Dr Bretz is a very professional Chiropractor. I was in a lot of pain and he sorted me out in 2 visits. His front desk team is on point and very friendly. I received text reminders and follow ups to make sure I had a great visit which I did. I would highly recommend Dr Bretz.
Verified patient
Felt very comfortable. Doc listened and followed thru with previous chiropractor work. Used additional equipment to help alleviate my pain. Did an excellent job on my area of need. Highly recommend doc but price was a bit high in my opinion.
Verified patient
Such a knowledgeable doctor and great bedside manor. You read reviews that say that they are a good listener and in reality he really did take the time to listen to me. He explained my x-ray to me more than anyone else that I had seen in the last 3 years. He then did some adjustments and I felt much better leaving his office than when I walked in. The drive is kind of far for me but well worth every mile driven. Thanks

I needed a chiropractor, so I looked online and found Bretz chiropractor. I checked in, filled out forms, got measurements, and waited to see the chiropractor. He is a very friendly, great listener, had follow-up questions, great suggestions, and great manners. He adjusted me, helped loosen up my muscles, and then hooked me up to the tens machine. The relief and releases I achieved at this visit were amazing!!! Overall, it was a great experience. I strongly recommend everyone visit this office.

They had a nice clean office and amazing staff. Very helpful in answering any questions I had and made me feel very comfortable. I usually don't go to the chiropractor but I'm definitely going to continue my treatment with Dr Bretz. He answer all my questions and even explained what prior results said on an MRI packet that was just handed to me and never gone over. Also, his way of doing my adjustments was amazing.
