About
Dr. CJ Berg, MD, MBA
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.
​
Dr. Berg began his education at the United States Air Force Academy, obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. He then received a medical degree from the Ohio State University College of Medicine, and completed his residency training at the University of Buffalo Neurosurgery (UBNS). He began his career with the United States Air Force in 2013 and has held several positions, including Neurosurgery Element Leader, Orthopedics/Neurosurgery Flight Commander, and Neurosurgical Consultant to the U.S. Air Force Surgeon General. He completed two tours in Afghanistan. Dr. Berg also received a Healthcare MBA from Indiana University Kelley School of Business.
​
Outside of his practice, Dr. Berg is an avid Cleveland sports fan (especially the Browns), OrangeTheory Fitness enthusiast, and frequent board gamer.
Our Practice
Dr. Berg’s goal is to revolutionize the way spine health is viewed, managed, and treated. He understands that chronic neck and back pain can hold you back from the things that you want to do, and he wants to help.
Spine surgery can be a rather large undertaking for a lot of patients, but it isn’t the only pathway to pain relief. Dr. Berg always begins treatment with the least aggressive, yet effective, methods possible. Only when more conservative treatment options have been proven ineffective will he recommend surgery. When surgery is needed to provide sufficient pain relief, Dr. Berg uses the least invasive techniques possible and advanced recovery techniques to allow patients to be mobile and return home as soon as possible.

I recommend Dr. Berg without any reservations., After almost two years of back pain and many different conservative forms of treatment, it was clear that surgical intervention was needed. From the first appointment with Dr. Berg I knew he was the right person to help me. He is a tireless advocate for patients, has a straight forward approach, and the office staff is superb. My outcome couldn't be better and I feel like a new person!
Dr Berg did great work, I am back to normal with no pain., Great experience from start to finish. Everything about my service was explained clearly to me, and Dr Berg was very good about setting my expectations so that I knew what was happening with my care. As I have had this issue before in life I was more prepared with what to expect. Dr. Berg was an advocate for me during the entire process with relation to insurance and in relation to other specialists.
