I am very happy I found Dr. Barak's amazing physiotherapy and adjustment facility - I go there in a current basis with some intervals for about 4 months and I have to say it's the best you could do for yourself being proactive and cure from many problems in the quick and correct way. Dr. Barak and his colleges help us not only to heal in a right way but also everything is designed and provided for actually correcting many back/spine problems that sometimes are with us for years, experiencing pains again and again. I do believe that this is the solution to actually be able to cure and fix the problem, not only temporarily but for good without bunch of synthetic medicaments which only kill us in a long run. All equipments are absolutely great and, if used for long enough time, truly heal. Special machines and technics, and adjustments of Dr. Barak and his colleges are designed to correct many problems, including injuries, in a long run. Usually it is extremely costly but in Dr. Barak's office - it's very affordable if you are looking for not killing but healing! I am definitely continuing to use this wonderful system in order to correct my upper back/neck problem (wear and tear) in the most natural way! Thank you very much Dr. Barak!!! And the entire Personal! Happy New Year and looking forward each time to go to the facility to feel good! I tell all my friends and colleges that that's the best! Help Yourself! Elina K. read more

I rarely write reviews, but the exceptional care that I have received from Dr. Meraz requires that he be properly annotated. I am here in Florida on vacation and found myself in considerable distress. The pain was quite intense. I was barely able to walk. Luckily, I came across Dr. Meraz on Yelp, read the reviews and called for an appointment. He was able to take me right away. He diagnosed my problem, treated it and made sure that I was able to walk out of the office. He treated me with great care. He recommended a massage therapist, and facilitated an appointment with her. (She was amazing.) He followed up to make certain that I was able to reach her for the appointment. Went back for a second treatment and am going for a third. Dr. Meraz offered to find me an appropriate practitioner close to my home, since this is chronic condition. I am so grateful that I came across this highly competent professional and do not hesitate give him the highest recommendation. read more

I have been suffering from lower back pain for a few months. Finally made my 1st ever chiropractic appointment. I have to say by the time I walked out of Dr. Barak's office I was pain free. This operation is not just a chiropractic office it's a therapeutic gym. They have built an approach to chiropractic treatment that rehabilitates the body to achieve pain free living. As opposed to just treating the symptoms. I was informed I would feel pain again, which I do today. It was explained to me the issues I have and how they are the source of the pain in my lower back. I was educated about the recommended rehabilitation plan to prohibit the pain from returning in my lower back. I really appreciate the solution driven approach Dr. Barak took with me and how relieved I felt not to be in pain, the day I walked out of there. I look forward to continuing my treatment plan and achieving a permanent pain free life again! Thank you Barak! read more

It is really a pleasure write a 5 review for Carpe Diem Plantation staff. I give them a big WOW!!! I started more than two months ago with a lot of pain in my cervical, neck with headaches and no able to sleep. I call the office a sweet lady answered to me, her name Anna and ask me some questions and immediately gave me an appointment the same day. I meet with doctor Barack, who is a knowledgeable and professional in what he does. He immediately did the X-rays and all I need to start the treatment. After that with the treatment I met with Dr Guy for my adjustments every time in my appointments, Erick in the therapy exercises and message, Amir in the therapy massages. I recognize the whole staff for been passionate and have a great customer service. I thank you all and hope if I see you again to thank you and recommend your great services to other people who need it.I celebrate I do not have more pain and I can sleep so weelll read more

Gotta thank Dr. Barak Meraz for a phenomenal evaluation and adjustment. Got down here a few days ago and knew we were out of wack, but that we were 1,200 miles from our regular Chiropractor. I started searching and found Dr. Barak was within walking distance of our accommodations here in Ft Lauderdale. We called up, and while he was rather busy, he squeezed us in the next day for a complete evaluation, x-Rays, stim treatment, and adjustment. He was thorough, professional, and my wife and I truly enjoyed our time in his office. He had us in, and out pretty efficiently so we could get back to our vacation, but ensuring he gave us the time and attention we needed so that we could fully enjoy our time away. Thanks Dr. Meraz for a great adjustment! You promised us "the best adjustment we'd ever had," and you delivered! @isaCopes #MakeLifeMoreEpic read more

I was in a car accident and was dealing with some neck pain that was affecting me at work. I began seeing Dr. Meraz about two times a week and had a noticeable improvement within the first month. In the following months, it got better and better, to the point where the discomfort no longer affects me at work. His scheduling was flexible around my work hours and I never have to wait more than 5 mins when I arrive. When he was on vacation he made sure another doctor was ready to see me at my normal time and it was as if I never missed a beat. He also brought massage therapists and physical therapists to help alleviate any other discomfort, or muscle tightness I had. Dr. Meraz is a chiropractor I would recommend to a friend, family member, or stranger. I've had a wonderful experience as a patient. read more

I had an incredible experience at Carpe Diem with Dr. Barak Meraz. His advanced understanding of the neck, back, and the human body is on another level. The adjustment he gave me was amazing -- I felt an immediate difference. The electric cupping therapy was also a unique and powerful addition that helped release deep tension. Eric was fantastic with the assisted stretching -- highly skilled, intuitive, and made me feel completely supported. I also had a great conversation with Noam about his yoga class, and it left me genuinely wishing I lived locally so I could experience it in person. You can tell the entire team here is passionate about what they do. Highly recommend Carpe Diem to anyone looking for true healing and top-tier care! read more

If you can get in to see Dr. Barak! I hurt my back in a way I've never experienced before, so much so I could barely walk. I felt relief after the first visit and in just a few more sessions I was almost completely back to normal. My brother has had three spinal surgeries for bulging and herniated discs so I thought I would have to have one for sure. Not having to have a surgery and getting out of pain so quickly was a miracle! Not only the results but Dr. Barak makes you feel like his most important client. He spends as much time with you as you need and makes time to fit your schedule. He seems happy to be there and gets really enthusiastic. You can tell he really loves and believes in what he does. Best doctor I have been to. read more

I have known Dr. Barak for about 3 years. I met Dr. Barak after I was injured in a car accident. During the last 3 years Dr. Barak and his team have helped me with my injuries through chiropractic care as well as exercises. Recently I have been having issues with my forearms, constant throbbing and aching pain that would cause me to wake up in the middle of the night. Dr. Barak introduced me to a new treatment called Shockwave. After just two treatments there has been significant results. I have been able to sleep through the night pain free. I highly recommend anyone who is experiencing any kind of discomfort or pain, to stop in to either offices for a consultation. The entire team treats their patients as if they were family. read more

I was in a horrific car accident when I first moved to Florida. I was told about Dr. Meraz through a friend who saw him after an accident as well. He was both professional and extremely down to earth, he made every session both fun and informative. Dr. Meraz helped me through waking up with excruciating pain every morning to being able to manage my pain and going on with my daily life normally. He taught me ways to stretch and work out safely from home when I wasn't scheduled to see him and was always there to take a phone call when I had questions to ask (I had plenty)! I would absolutely highly recommend Dr. Barak Meraz to anyone searching for a reliable, friendly, and helpful chiropractor. read more

I started my treatment on a Sunday about a month ago for neck pain and almost daily headaches. I am happy to say that I have not experienced this much relief and headache free days since I was a child. My problem started in High School but probably developed well before that. Dr. Meraz, thank you for your help. You offer a great service at an affordable price and you've given me a new and better way to live my life. After so many years of headaches and pain, I can finally face the day without needing A bottle of Excedrin near by at all times. I wake up without pain and it's the most wonderful feeling I've ever experienced. To be pain free is priceless. THANK YOU. read more

Finally decided to start going to the gym after quarantining for the last 5 and a half months and let's just say I may have overdone it. So like all of us I struggled for a few days waiting for the pain to go away and after realizing that I could barely bend over to tie my shoes I decided to do something about it. Made my appointment here for the following day ,Sunday, thank goodness they were open.... rolled in at 12 right on time for my appointment and buy 1oclock, I was walking out pain free!!! The staff here are incredible and they know our bodies better than we do!!!! If you are in any type of pain and seeking relief this is the place to come. read more

While visiting Florida I hurt my neck and had severe headache & neck pain. Fortunately Dr. Meraz was open on a Sunday and told me to come in right away. After my first appointment my headache was gone and I was able to enjoy the rest of my vacation. Dr. Meraz took x-rays immediately and explained what my issues were. I really liked the fact he believes in fixing the problem vs. just pain management. Dr. Meraz was very accommodating to fit me in a few more days before I left Florida. I would highly recommend anyone living in the Florida area or visiting that needs treatment to give him a call. He really cares about his patients. Christine from Buffalo,NY read more

Dr. Meraz of Carpe Diem Chiropractic made a scary unknown process easy and helpful. I suffered from allergies so badly that most days I could not breathe easily through my nose. After my first month of treatment, I was off all of my allergy medications and feeling good. Dr. Meraz has been very supportive of my journey to wellness and always had insight and answers to my questions. He focuses on the entire individual, not just relieving pain for a quick fix. I was so happy with my results, my daughter now treats with him. If you want a patient, kind, understanding, good-listener health practitioner, Dr. Meraz is your doctor! read more

I started seeing Dr Barak 2 months ago for lower back pain. As an active rower who trains year round, back pain is a big problem that can sideline you if not treated properly. Since seeing Dr Barak, I have gone from weekly episodes of back pain that prevented me from training and painful flares ups after competing, to occasional minor aches and zero pain after a day of racing! I am back to my weekly training schedule and no longer have to worry about back pain preventing me from doing what I love to do. Whether you are an athlete or not, I highly recommend seeing Dr Barak to relieve whatever aches and pains you are experiencing. read more

Had my first visit yesterday for chronic hip pain. I am so excited I found this treatment center. Dr. Barak is an outstanding practitioner. He took X-rays and did a full exam. He made some adjustments and did some other things. I felt so much better even though it was only my first visit. I will be returning today for a review of my treatment plan and additional therapy. Dr. Barak is a chiropractor who uses a multimodal approach to treating problems. Carpe Diem has Physical Therapists and trainers as well as an array of therapy equipment. Very professional and friendly staff. I am stoked. read more

I typically go to the Plantation office at least once a week and have been going for over 3 years. Weekly adjustments have been a life-changer for me. Dr. Barak and his entire staff are phenomenal. I'm also lucky enough to work 2 min walking distance from the Fort Lauderdale office and I've been in situations where I've reached for the Tylenol for neck and back pain during a stressful day and hop over to this location instead for an adjustment. I walk out feeling like a new person 20 min later. Thank you for everything you do for my overall wellness! I recommend you to everyone I know! read more

Dr Barak is amazing. I've been to hundreds of Chiro treatments all over the world as I travelled for business for years, and have numerous prior injuries. I had a flare up and my usual chiropractor was out of the country. Dr Barak took me on a Sunday(!!) and not only did he relieve my back pain starting with EMT, he adjusted my rib ends, neck, my shoulder blades (who knew?), hips, and applied kinetic tape to support the area. To top it off, he called and left me a voicemail the next day to see how I was doing. 5 stars. Knowledgeable, friendly, he cares and is passionate about his work. read more
