Beretta James MD

6 stars!
I cannot say enough good things about this man and his practice. First of all, he’s ALWAYS on time, which is absolutely unheard of for a doctor. When I visit other doctors, I think I’m doing good when I get in only 30 minutes after my appt time.
He’s personable, funny and has a spectacular bedside manner. He has a fantastic personality and a great attitude. He makes you feel at ease which is a pretty big feat for a man who is about to stick a huge needle in your back.
I have had back pain for 7 years. I had an MRI about 2 years ago that showed L4 and L5 are partially herniated. I told the doctor how much pain I was in, and she refused to do anything except refer me to a physical therapist (I had already been to physical therapy on and off for THREE years with no relief) because «I really shouldn’t have any pain at all since I only have slight nerve impingement.» Btw, this was Dr. Cherie Miner at St. Vincent’s. Do not go to see her!
A few weeks later the pain got so bad that I could barely walk. My dad suggested I go to a chiropractor, and the chiropractor referred me to Dr. Beretta. I started seeing Dr. Beretta for epidurals in September 2013. Even though I moved to Nashville in August 2014, I continue to make the 3 hour drive every 12 weeks to have the procedure performed by him. This man has changed my life. I’m able to exercise and dance again, oh and walk, which is pretty important!
