I truly love practicing orthodontics, I am grateful to God, and humbled by the opportunity to have a positiveeffect on the lives of my patients. My passion for orthodontics grew out of my own personal experience with orthodontic care as a teenager. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know my patients. I understand that foralmost all of them, receiving orthodontic treatment is a positive, life-changing experience, and I look forward to helping my patients celebrate their everyday lives with beautiful, healthy smiles.
I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I earned my undergraduate degree and Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Following dental school, I served as an officer in the United States Army Dental Corp for 13 years. During that time, I received my certificate of orthodontics and masters degree in oral biology from the University of Louisville. I also served in the North Carolina National Guard for nine years and retired at the rank of Colonel in 2005. Ive been practicing in the Piedmont Triad for 22years.
To stay uptodate with the latest treatments and techniques in orthodontics, I regularly participate in continuing education opportunities. Each year, I complete far more than the minimum amount of credits in a variety of different courses, including SureSmile training and Foundation of Craniofacial Education seminars.
I am a board-certified orthodontist, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, and an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists. In addition, I maintain memberships with the following organizations:
I strive to put God first,live my life to the fullest and treat others as a priority and not an option. Tohave an Attitude of Gratitude. I enjoy being outdoors, biking, hiking and spending time with great friends. I surround myself with people who bring out the best in me and create a meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling lifeand always try tomake a positiveimpact on the lives of others. I playedsoccer competitively at UNC-CH and with theGreensboro Adult Soccer League.

I LOVE everything about It! The entire staff is so friendly and warm they make you feel right at home. The HP office is clean and beautifully laid out, I was impressed from the moment my daughter and I arrived. They actually care about you as the patient, they make sure to educate you and not just send you on your way with a bunch of pamphlets. 10 out of 10 for sure!

The outside when I drove up was beautiful, inviting and warm. Walked in the building the black steps were beautiful that lead up to an even more pleasant staff. I didn't walk in with ppl who had attitudes or faces looking mean. They spoke. Can you believe it, they spoke and had inviting conversation with myself and my daughter. What use to be normal. Dr. Berky and his assistant very helpful. Everyone was nice, informative and I recommend Berky Orthodontics.

I have been a patient for 2 years here and today was horrific and a disgrace and the worst experience I've ever had with a "professional" business. Today 2/16/22 I had an appointment for scans and to potentially remove my braces or discuss removing them next month. However last year from 01/2021-08/2021 I had cigna dental insurance through my employer which paid maximum $1,750 for orthodontist treatment. As of 08/2021 I made my last payment and according to their website my account was paid off. I continued my appointments every month after "pay off" and had no issues UNTIL December. I received notification that there was a balance on my account of $1,033. At my appointment in December I mentioned that this balance is new to me and was told we would discuss at my January appointment a payment plan. At my January appointment I was told at checkout that Dr. Berky himself would call me or the office manager to discuss payment options since it would have to be paid in full in order to get the braces removed. As of monday 2/14/2022 Jaime called me and made me aware of the balance and my upcoming appointment for today and I told her nobody had called me to discuss payment options and from my end the account has been paid off. Jaime was shocked that I had not made a payment in months because she says typically payments would continue until end of treatment but I let her know online there was no balance and when I add everything up I have actually paid more than my balance. Jaime said she would have Dr Berky call me or the office manager before my appointment. As of this morning my appointment was for 8:40am. I had not received a phone call so therefore I called and Patricia Crawford was very rude and would not even let me explain myself and my findings of my financial documents. Patricia just kept saying she had the ledger in front of her. The ledger Patricia had was not the same as mine though and I refused to argue with a grown woman so I hung up. Patricia then texted my phone and left a voicemail saying I was dismissed from the office due to not being able to communicate when for 3 months this has been on going and she had never tried communicating with me. I have never even seen Patricia in the office for 2 years now. Myself and my husband went to the office to collect my medical records since I am dismissed because I will have to spend unnecessary money elsewhere to get my braces removed. When we arrived Patricia refused to discuss matters in office due to patients hearing the issue. Patricia refused to release my medical records. Patricia called the cops on me and my husband and tried charging us with trespassing when I just wanted my medical records. The whole situation was unprofessional when this is a business no financial matters should have been discussed over the phone and when I came in person it should have been discussed. They will be hearing from my attorney as this is malpractice they were unprofessional and negligent towards myself and my treatment. Ive paid almost $6,500 and for them to treat me so nasty is a disgrace.

This is a GREAT place!!! The staff is phenomenal especially Vanessa!! Dr. Berky was very personable and he really connected with my daughter Jordyn which made her feel comfortable. We were treated exceptionally well, and that's always is a plus especially when your making this type of investment. I am looking forward to our future endeavors. Can't wait for Dr. Berky to give my daughter her million dollar smile back!!! 1000% recommended!!! Thanks Schaintikia Leak
