Justin Gomlak

Dr. Bretz is friendly, easy-going, and MAN can he crack a spine! I felt instant relief from his expert work.

Response from owner

Justin, appreciate this big time! 🙌 Out of curiosity—what was bothering you the most before you came in? Always love hearing what people notice the biggest difference with after treatment.

Cj DiPretore

Had pulled muscles in my upper back and neck and called Dr. Bretz to make an appointment. His office found a way to squeeze me into their schedule and get me started back on the road to being pain-free. He asked how I did it and took the time to show me what exactly I did. Made the entire visit feel as if he had been my doctor for years. He showed me how I can stretch my back out and what I can do if it ever starts to tighten back up. After a couple visits, I am pain-free and moving like I should be. Without a doubt, will always recommend him and keep visiting him to maintain being pain-free. Thank you Dr. Bretz!

Response from owner

Thank you so much for the kind words, CJ. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Upper back and neck injuries from pulled muscles can be extremely painful and limiting, so I’m glad we were able to get you in quickly and help you start feeling better. One of the most important parts of treatment is understanding what caused the injury and learning the right stretches and movements to help prevent it from coming back, so I’m happy that part of the visit was helpful for you. It’s great to hear that you’re now pain-free and moving normally again. Helping people recover and stay active is exactly why we do what we do at Bretz Chiropractic Clinic. Thanks again for the recommendation, CJ, and we’re always here if you need us in the future. — Dr. Bretz

I cannot recommend Dr. Bretz highly enough. Before finding his practice, I was seeing other chiropractors two or three times every week just to stay functional and upright. It felt like a constant uphill battle. Since starting treatment with Dr. Bretz, the difference has been night and day. He is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, and his adjustments are fantastic. Thanks to his care, I’ve regained a level of physical freedom I didn’t think was possible. I’m now able to attend multiple weighted Pilates classes every week and stay active without the constant worry that a workout will immediately require another adjustment. I’ve gone from needing several visits a week to only needing a small maintenance adjustment about once every three weeks—and I’ve even been able to go longer than that at times. It is truly liberating to not be sidelined by pain anymore. Beyond the clinical results, he is wonderful to work with. He is very accommodating with scheduling; once you’re an established patient, you can often call and get seen the same day. If you call early enough, he can usually fit you in within just a few hours. If you are looking for a chiropractor who actually listens and delivers lasting results, Dr. Bretz is the one to see!

Response from owner

Adrianna, thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear how much progress you’ve made. One of my main goals is always to help patients move from frequent care for pain toward long-term stability and maintenance so they can stay active and do the things they enjoy. Being able to return to your weighted Pilates classes without worrying about setbacks is exactly the kind of outcome we hope for. I’m also glad you’ve found the scheduling flexibility helpful. We always try our best to accommodate our established patients quickly when something flares up. Thank you again for your trust and for recommending our office. It’s a pleasure working with you and helping you stay active and feeling your best. — Dr. Bretz

I thought I would have to live the rest of my life in pain. I had plantar fasciitis in my right foot. I woke up every morning, barely able to walk. But through proper care and a recovery plan with Dr. Bretz my foot is completely healed. I can't help but recommend him to everyone I know. He's the real deal. So thankful for how he has helped me improve my health and quality of life.

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.

About 2 years ago I was in a serious auto accident. Could not stand, sit or walk without pain. Dr Bretz saved my life. He took me out of pain and even anxiety with his humor. Now he keeps me walking and functioning without pain. He has healing hands. I've been going to chiropractors for over 40 years and he is The Best.

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 been seeing Dr Bretz now for many years but these last few months my left shoulder has been in tremendous pain due to work. I was only able to move my arm in certain directions. I’ve been going 3 times a week for the past 2 months and I have to say Dr Bretz is by far the best!! He is very genuine, great guy who actually cares for his patients. Thank you for all your help!

Was in ER in tears for my back pain. They wanted to give me meds and refer me to an orthopedic surgeon. By best friend picked me up and said “we’re going to get you fixed” and took me to Dr. Bretz. Within 15 minutes and 2 huge “pops” ALL MY PAIN WAS GONE! Thank you is not even close to the gratitude for literally handing my life and dignity back to me. Highly recommend and still go back to keep aligned.

Dr. Angie Schmitz

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

Dr. Bretz is one of the best doctors I have seen. He is listening to me understands my condition and explains his treatments. I have seen at least five other medical professionals for an injury that nobody could or would treat. I know that chiropractic treatment doesn't work for everybody but it's working for me. I've been able to reduce my pain medication at least 75% since he started treating me. Appointments are easy to get, messages are returned and he does not push treatments that I don't need or want.

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

I had cronic pain in my knees where I was having a hard time walking. Thanks to Doctor Lugo who did injection in one of my knees, now I can walk without pain. Also, my lower back I have a herniated disc. Dr. Lugo did the same injections to my lower back and now no more pain. Thank you so much for helping me. Now I can live my life pain free.

Dr. Bretz and his office staff are amazing. I threw my back out, was in pain and having problems moving around. I called Dr. Bretz's office and his great staff got me in right away, and then Dr. Bretz worked his magic. I walked out feeling much better, and with the advice he gave me, I am feeling great. Thank you Dr. Bretz and crew.
