So, after having been to the DMV three or four times trying to get a Real ID, I was positive I finally had all the documentation I needed this time. I had already previously uploaded all the documents and waited for the DMV confirmation that everything had been received and approved. Then I had one DMV employee say one of the documents that other employees (the online verifier and another in-person employee on a previous day) had previously OK'd wasn't OK, and I needed something else to prove I live where my current license and DMV records already say I live. So I made sure to bring extra documentation just in case they have an problem with the new ones I'm bringing. Then on my last attempt, we finally get through the entire process of the DMV employee verifying everything, and she's about to finish, and she asks for my medical. And my heart sinks into my stomach as I realize I had forgotten my DOT medical form. They didn't ask you to upload it with everything else, so I wasn't reminded to add it to my huge pile of documents. and I left it at home in my haste just to get this done. I had never gotten to the end of the process before, so I had never been asked to provide it, or I would have been sure to bring it. And wouldn't you know in the time that elapsed since I started the process to when I finally was beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I needed to have my DOT medical updated. So I guess it's just as well that I had forgotten it. As I walk out of the DMV feeling defeated yet again, I decide I'll look to see if there's anyone open that can do a DOT medical exam that same afternoon. I call around. Lots of places are closed due to COVID-19. The guy I used to use, a chiropractor in the East Bay (cheap, but made you wait for hours in a super crowded building that probably would work very well in the age of COVID) apparently disappeared a few months earlier. (There were no very recent Yelp or Google reviews, his phone was disconnected, and people were asking if anyone knew where he was or what happened to his business.) The handful of places that are open are either walk-in with long waits or appointment-based with no availability for a day--or many days. And the ones that could see me same day--or same week--including my own insurance provider, are $120-200+. No thanks. As I'm frantically searching and calling around, the hope within me fading with every call I make, this listing keeps coming up for a chiropractor in downtown Hayward. And he's got lots of great reviews, including from people who just needed DOT physicals. It's mid afternoon, and I figure what's it going to hurt to ask? So I call. And Dr Berman answers. And he says he closes at 6PM, but if I can leave now, he'll see me. It's just he in a little old house on the corner that's been converted into an office with parking in the back. I get there around 5:30PM, and in 20 minutes, I have my precious forms, which he has already electronically submitted to the DMV for $70 out the door. It's not as cheap as my old guy, but I didn't have to wait 3 hours either. I spend the time I saved with my wife and kids bonding over board games that evening. And the next day I finally get through the DMV with no hassles. Thanks, Dr. Berman. read more

Visited the office around 10AM on Friday and there were about 3 people in the waiting area. The process was relatively simple and straightforward. DOT exam was $100. They take card. It feels like quite a jump from the last time I did my DOT which was $50, but that office closed.(Also, the wait there was over an hour, because there were so many people even though I also went on a weekday). Parking: the parking lot only fits 3 cars AND it's really small and narrow, so if you have a big truck, park on the street. The street parking was relatively easy on a weekday at 10AM. This office is surrounded by apartments. The receptionist seemed friendly. The process: - Walked in and checked in by signing the paper. - Let the receptionist know I was here for an appointment - He scanned my DL, give me a cup for a urine sample and asked me what my DOT exam was for. - After my urine sample, I sat down and waited for about another 20 minutes. - Got called back and did a pretty lax physical. It was straightforward and the wait wasn't terribly long. read more

I'm so very disappointed with them. I went in to update my DOT Medical Card. Everything went well and fast. Paid $100 for them to send to the DMV, so I didn't have to wait all day at DMV. Got an email from DMV an hour after stating I'm missing signatures. I went back to sign the paperwork and was told the problem should be fixed. I talked with dmv and they stated non of the paperwork was sent. I emailed the doctor the problem and Dr. Berman said it was not his problem to fix and to go to the dmv. By law it is your responsibility. I was shocked! Like why did I pay the $100 just for them to mess up! This is not right! You pay someone to do it right! So now I have to go to the DMV and waste probably my whole day because this doctor messed up. read more

Awesome service. My brother has always talked how wonderful Dr. Berman and his staff are. Super professional and very caring.

I needed to get my every 2 year physical for my commercial drivers license and forgot about it until the day it expired. Couldn't get an appointment anywhere. Contacted Dr. Berman and told him about my situation. He said come right in and he will accommodate me immediately. He was very precise and thorough with his exam. I will definitely use him from now on. Thanks again for accommodating me on such a short notice. read more

Very nice person. I have lower back pain and a pinched nerve causing numbing in my pinky toe from a botched workout. I'm still working through it. But the adjustments from Dr. Berman are helping so much to restore feeling in my foot and toe and helping to relieve the pain in my lower back. He has a table that has some sort of roller that massages your back first. The one on the left side of the room (grey in color) is stronger. Then in another room he adjusts your spine and neck on two other tables. I would prefer to pay through insurance so I could afford to see him on a regular basis. But, he doesn't take insurance. Can't say I blame him. Who wants do deal with insurance companies- NO ONE, THATS WHO. Parking could be difficult, pending time of day. It was a great comfort to me when he said, "Your body will heal." I continued to say that to myself for the rest of the evening and the next morning. Pain is no fun. I'm thankful to have discovered him. read more

I went here today for a DOT Physical. He was fast, friendly, and affordable. I was in and out in about 30 minutes. What more could you ask for?! Places I have been to in the past have kept me waiting for over 3 hours. In the time of Covid a crowded waiting room is not where I want to be. read more

Dr. Berman is such a kind and gentle person. he is always so nice and accommodating, and it shows that he cares about his patients' recovery. he is a very competent chiropractor. I have been going to Dr. Berman's practice since late July this year when someone crashed into my car. after a few sessions with Dr. Berman I already noticed a change in my back and neck pain.

I know these types of injuries take time to get better and I'm sure with Dr. Berman's help I will feel like a brand new person soon enough! read more

I was going to post something about how honest and caring Daryl Berman is, but then something happened yesterday which blew my mind, so here is today's review. I had a really bad case of allergies, couldn't breathe, couldn't sleep, and I don't do well with any type of allergy medication. Dr. Berman said he thought an adjustment would help anyway. I figured what could I lose (I was there on something else). Anyway, I got a short adjustment, including the neck, and I noticed right away I was finally breathing through my nose! I went home, finished a translation, and went to sleep... For the first time in 3 days I slept through the night, I woke up refreshed, I am not completely well but so much better! I couldn't even open my eyes yesterday, couldn't breathe, couldn't even see! So, whatever he did, it worked! I have always loved chiropractic, but this worked so incredibly well and so quickly, it was almost like a miracle. read more

Key words here are quick and efficient! He called me back asap to book my appointment to be seen the very next day. The process flowed effortlessly and I was done and out in like 15 minutes. Price was great. Cool and friendly guy, I recommend him for your MER. read more

I was suffering terrible lower back pain over a long weekend with several sleepless nights due to the pain and discomfort. I first tried calling my PCP, but to no avail. After doing a little research online I figured that my symptoms could also be looked at by Chiropractor, so I went to search for someone local. I came across Dr. Berman's name and called him and explained my symptoms. I could hear the smile in his voice over the phone and he instantly seemed like a friendly person. He asked when I would like to come in and to my surprise, he was able to see me the same day. When I arrived at his office he greeted me with a smile and asked about my pain and the location. He first put me on this machine that was making a shaking movement to loosen up the muscles and I already felt a bit of relief, after that he asked me to move to a massage table and he did his MAGIC. I don't exactly know what he did when he cracked, snapped and popped things in my back, shoulders and neck, but it felt as all my pain and discomfort magically disappeared. I felt instantly better and was able to move around better than I did prior to my visit. I went back to see him a couple more times in the days that followed to be readjusted, but have not had to go back since. Dr. Berman is AMAZING and I called him a Wizard. I have already referred my daughter to him and will recommend him to anyone who needs an adjustment or suffers from backpain. Dr. Berman can likely "fix" you! :) read more

I was in pain (lower back) for over two months, went to 2 different doctors, gave me different kind of pain killers and muscle relaxants and nothing worked. One day, I woke up and the pain was so intense I was sweating and couldn't even move. I decided I would give chiropractors a try and I found Dr. Berman. Since day 1 noticed an improvement and 3 weeks into treatment I can say I'm 90% to my best! Thank you very much Dr. Berman, you are the best! read more

For a long time I resisted seeing a chiropractor for my various aches and pains. Some weeks ago, I woke up with a terrible pain in my neck and shoulder area, which caused me to miss work several times. I finally bit the bullet and decided to see someone about it. That someone turned out to be Dr. Berman, one of the true Gems of Hayward. He has a relaxing bedside manner and is extremely knowledgeable and talented in his work and I feel SO much better already after only a couple of sessions. I couldn't have asked for a better first, or second, experience. Thank you again, Dr. Berman. See you next time! read more

I woke up with a kink in my neck that got worse as the week went on until it irritated a pinched nerve I have in my neck and shoulder. I scheduled an appointment with my primary care physician but since her first available appointment was a week and a half away, I figured I'd try a masseuse and a chiropractor in the meantime. Dr. Berman took me in the same day. He saw me twice the first week. Both appointments were quick, I was in and out in 20 minutes, my appointment started right on time and I started to feel better before I even left the office. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Berman! read more
