Dr. Berg is a board certified neurosurgeon with over 8 years of experience as a military neurosurgeon, with his service commitment having ended in the spring of 2022. As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Berg treats a full range of neurological and spine conditions. He aims to treat each patient as though they were members of his own family, balancing risk and benefit by offering less aggressive but effective treatment options when possible. His goal is to ensure that patients receive timely, efficient care so that they can get back to living their lives. This includes using surgical and recovery techniques that allow patients to mobilize early so that they can return home to recover in comfort.
