This place has been as IMMENSE help for my pain! Not only is Dr. Bretz good at chiropractic medicine, he’s also personable and nice, and genuinely cares about me as a patient and a person. His staff is amazing as well, super sweet and helpful, and I’m always comfortable and relaxed when I go in! I have so much less pain than when I started (albeit I should be listening to the Dr advice more LOL). Overall a fantastic chiropractor and I would recommend.

I drive almost 2 hours to see Dr. Bretz and it’s more than worth it! He’s the best in the business and helped target the root cause of my neck pain following a car accident. His team is welcoming, friendly and flexible! I’ve had a great experience and can’t recommend him enough. I’ll never see any other chiropractor!

I was hit by a train so I’m not a normal bad back patient. Dr. Bretz is the best doctor I’ve ever met in my life. He not only helped my spine and debilitating pain. He also taught me how to take care of my body for the future. I would definitely recommend Dr. Bretz!

After my motorcycle accident, I was in constant pain and could barely move my neck and back. A friend recommended Dr. Bretz, and from my very first visit, I knew I was in the right place. He took the time to listen, explained my injuries in a way I could understand, and created a treatment plan that actually worked. The combination of chiropractic adjustments, therapy, and targeted treatments has made a huge difference in my recovery — I’m finally getting my mobility and strength back. The staff is friendly, the office runs on time, and they even helped with all the accident-related paperwork so I could focus on healing. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle or car accident in Sarasota, I highly recommend Bretz Chiropractic Clinic. Dr. Bretz truly cares and knows exactly what it takes to get you back on your feet. He’s saved me so much headache and pain and honestly is my savior. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to them.

After my car accident, I was in pain and honestly didn’t know what to do. I had never been to a chiropractor before and was a little nervous, but Dr. Bretz and his team made me feel completely comfortable. They took time to explain everything, listened to my concerns, and helped me understand what was going on with my body. The treatments weren’t scary or painful—just the opposite. I left feeling better after the first visit and now I’m sleeping better, moving better, and finally healing.

Visiting Dr. Bretz was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. After just a few visits, I noticed a huge improvement in my shoulder and the occasional back issues I’ve dealt with for years. His adjustments are precise and effective, and he explains everything clearly so you know what to expect. I can’t recommend Dr. Bretz enough—he truly cares about his patients and their long-term well-being!

I have had the opportunity to be treated for 2 accidents which happened in 2017 and this year in March. When I had my first appointment in 2017. I was greeted with smile and a caring demeanor each time. Dr Bretz took the time to explain and listen to my concerns about my health issues. I had a great decrease in my pain and suffering from the accidents with Dr. Bretz. I am highly recommending Dr. Bretz for anyone that has back or spinal injuries. I feel like family when I am at my appointments. Dr. Bretz not only does an adjustments, Dr. Bretz also does an assessment of your health which includes doing the need for muscle strengthening and traction. I am highly recommending Dr. Bretz to anyone who wants to improve their health and wellbeing for a better quality of life. Thank You Dr Bretz and fantastic office staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Bretz for what started as severe lower back pain. I am now proudly able to say I am pain free! I was initially referred by a couple of colleagues. I am so glad I went through with it. Dr. Bretz is courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. His staff is also very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Last year I had pulled my back out pretty bad and the chiropractor that I was seeing at the time was unable to see me. After looking online, I found Dr. Bretz office and while he was quite a distance away, his reviews seemed worth it, plus his office was accommodating enough to fit me in that same day. The reviews don't do justice enough. Chris was built to be a chiropractor. I walked in with a height of probably 5'9-5'10, and when I left I was able to stand straight at 6'1. Not only does he do his job better than any other chiropractor I've been to before, but he's always welcoming and friendly. I feel like I'm going to visit one of my buddies everytime I see him rather than going to the doctor. I travel about an hour just to see him, but I can assure you, he is well worth the trip.

I was in a car accident a couple months ago and I had no idea where to go for treatment or what to do because of how sensitive those areas are(back/neck). I was referred to dr.Bretz and at first I was nervous because I didn’t know what my injuries were fully, but they have done an amazing job in these last 2 months informing me about my situation and making me feel more comfortable in myself to pursue a better health. Now that I have a personalized plan around my situation , every day that I come in is progressive and fulfilling to my needs. Dr.Bretz specifically is an awesome guy and I have a lot of respect for him and the advice he has given me. The girls that work up front are always nice to me and very professional! Even if I come in with a bad mood I never leave in one so I’m very grateful for them and I would recommend them to anyone, weather you’re injured like me or just looking for alignments.

I’ve been weary of any chiropractor all my adult life because of my severe anxiety of hearing the cringing sound of “ neck cracks”. I believed the bad hype of going to one after several car accidents I was involved in 30+ years ago. I was introduced to Dr. Bretz by my fiancé who swore to me that he is the best doctor he’s ever had that fixed him. He also said Dr. Bretz is kind, knowledgeable and can help me with my chronic back pain. I thought I’d give it go because I believe in trying and, at the time, was unable to walk unassisted. Let me say; Wow!!!! Dr. Bretz made special arrangements to see me because I was in so much pain. He listened, was gentle and asked a lot of questions after taking an X-ray. He immediately knew my issue and explained the treatment plan and started out very gentle knowing my extreme fear and anxiety. To make this review short and to the point; I left his office WALKING by myself and had tears of joy for how he was able to help me beyond my expectations. He did it! I did it! 😁 If you have similar feelings as I do about going to a chiropractor but suffer from chronic back pain, I HIGHLY recommend his clinic! Faith, his front office staff girl is kind and very pleasant which makes the first impression upon walking in the clinic extremely calming. My quality of life has greatly improved following his recommended treatment plan. I feel like the strong athletic person I was years ago! Thank you Dr. Bretz! #patientuntilyouretire

Tired of the same old crack and go? Then this is where you go. He will spend the time needed to accomplish your goal . I've been going to chiropractic care since I was 12. This is totally new and much better adjustments and results.

Dr Bretz is so amazing he truly cares how a person feels I appreciate everything he's done for me to get me back up on my feet after my surgery and before my surgery I always feel revived when I leave out of there thank you Doc

I couldn’t be anymore thankful to have been introduced to Dr.Bretz his care is like no other, not only is he passionate about what he does but he is truly there for you as a medical professional. I have never have had such a good experience anywhere else like I have had at DR.Bretz, I have always been nervous when it comes to going to any doctor but he’s about the only doctor that made me feel at ease and comfortable and listens to all my concerns and he is so rapid at making you feel better! As long as Dr.Bretz is in business he will always have mine!

Dr. Bretz and his team gave me THE BEST experience I've ever had in any medical clinic. This group of professionals welcomed me as family from the moment I scheduled an appointment, to well after I left the office. Ive been to countless chiropractors, and have never been satisfied until I made a visit with Dr.Bretz. I'll never go any place else for a chiropractic adjustment. Thank you all so much for taking care of me, I truly appreciate it!

Thank you Dr. Lugo and Dr. Brett for the wonderful care you gave My husband and I when we were in town visiting. You treated us like family and we truly appreciate the care and compassion you showed to us. I wish we could pack you in our suitcase and bring you back to Rhode Island so we could continue with your care that you gave us. You made us well enough to be able to make it home safely and without pain.When we are back in town we will be sure to come in again and see you

Dr Bretz and his team of medical professional deliver the highest standard of care! I would and have recommended him to family and friends.
Lenette Shaw
I first went to see Dr. Bretz after I felt like my regular chiropractor wasn't making any progress with an ankle/foot issue that started in April. Dr. Bretz and his professional and friendly team spent a lot of time to ask many questions including level of pain in different parts of my body beyond just my foot/ankle. Very thorough! Dr. Bretz adjusted me from head to toe and then the Physical Therapist took over. Ultrasound, muscle manipulation and stretching techniques. Again, very thorough. It took just a few visits to get me back to normal and back to the gym. I'm very happy with my decision to set up that first appointment.
Hamilton Osuba
These folks are incredible they get to know you and your situation. They take the time to talk to you about how you are feeling. And from the time I first stepped in the door I was made to feel like family everyone truly makes you feel at ease and comfortable. No matter how bad I feel when I get there I walk out feeling relaxed and the total opposite of when I entered.. I consider my self lucky to have been referred to these Doctors and there clinic they are making a hard time in life so much easier knowing I’m under there care. Would recommend any one to see for themselves how they can change your life in a positive way.

Dr Bretz is a very good doctor the whole staff are very kind and excellent at their job great place to go.
mark nicora
If I could give less than 1 star I would. I called for an appointment and was given at 3:00 time. By 3:30 the Dr still wasn't to the office so they rescheduled me for 9am the next day. In severe pain I releuctantly agreed. Again the following day, by 9:20 am the Dr still was not in. Not sure how this office has gotten the reviews it has, maybe mine was just a bad experience but I would never recommend this place. Do your self and body a favor an go up the street just 1.2 miles to Rist Chiropractic and Wellness

My primary care Doctor sent me to Bretz Rehabilitation Clinic after my auto accident. Dr. Christopher Bretz and his Staff are the most professional and caring group I have ever met. I knew immediately that I was in good hands and everything was going to be all right. Dr. Bretz has explained my treatment every step of the way and the staff are just wonderful. Bretz Rehabilitation Clinic came highly recommended to me and I will continue to recommend them to family, friends and co-workers

My 16 year old daughter was injured in a auto accident where they were rear ended and the car was totaled!! There is nothing more important than your children and she was really in bad shape and Dr. Bretz and his team not only have done an amazing job but the way that they make you feel at such ease is world class. They really are about the patient first!

I was in a Car Accident with back, neck & shoulder pain & issues. From the time I walked in the office his kind and courteous staff provided the upmost friendly customer service. From physical therapy, chiropractic care, to massage therapy, to the advanced decompression table; every Service that was provided for my own well being was thoroughly explained and no question was ever left unanswered. I would highly recommend Dr.. Bretz and his staff to my family and friends! Thank you Dr. Bretz!

Danika Platt
Highly impressed w/ this doctor, as well as his entire team! This was my 1st visit to a Chiropractor since probably around the age of 6 or 7… Saw Dr. Bretz this a.m. for an unexplained pain in the lower right area of my back (felt as though something slipped out of place). Upon walking into the office, I was immediately greeted by a very friendly receptionist & the office Mgr. During my all of 5 minutes of waiting, I got the impression they are one big happy family at this doctors’ office, and it really shows in their goings-on… Great atmosphere! Amazing energy! His technicians & assistants were all very friendly & professional. Communication was excellent, and there wasn’t a moment I didn’t feel completely comfortable & informed of what they were doing or planning to do. I was thoroughly examined & Xrayed before any adjustments were made. I will definitely be back for any future back-issues (hopefully there are none though!)... HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bretz & his team!

The best doc I've ever been to, Dr. B has awesome bed side manor, is very knowledgeable, personable, and is not a total stick in the mud, like most docs. Dr. B's treatments have helped my mobility tremendously. Much more than pain pills ever did. When ever I go to see him I feel like my issues are the only issues he is worried about, even though I know he has other patients, a family etc. Docs adjustments are better than any other chiropractor I've ever been to. The staff is always nice, and if they don't know an answer they will find the information. I can't sing this docs praises enough. If you want a excellent doc who will treat you with respect, caring, and still be knowledgeable, quick witted, advanced in his field, then Dr. B is your guy. Dr. B also does volunteer work with athletic kids in public schools to help them with their chiropractic needs. Really how many doctors do you know do much volunteer work to help their community. sometimes when the snow birds come the office can get busy, but there is coffee, and a giant tv, and I've met some really interesting folks in the lobby. however unlike some doctors who make you wait forever, its a blue moon this happens with Dr. B. I always leave the office feeling better than when I came in.
