A whole-person approach to your health, from two doctors who call Central Oregon home.
Dr. Zach Bergman and Dr. Evan Willow use a “whole person approach” when taking care of their patients. By combining the very best hands-on technique, state-of-the-art physiotherapy procedures, and the newest and best natural vitamins and mineral supplements on the market today, Dr. Bergman and Dr. Willow are able to help you accelerate and maintain your journey to good health.
For the past several years, Dr. Zach Bergman was living and practicing near his hometown in Rapid City, SD. Recently deciding to relocate after calling the Black Hills home for most of his life, he is excited to start a new adventure in Central Oregon. He enjoys teaching and working with patients as they get out of pain and, most importantly, stay out of pain. Dr. Zach strives to get people back to doing what they love and believes strongly that patients should never accept pain as normal.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Zach enjoys being outside hiking, hunting, and mountain biking — all of which he does with his wife Elise and two dogs, Henry and Copper. Several days a week, Dr. Zach can be found staying fit by running and weight training. In addition to being active, chiropractic care is a huge component of how Dr. Zach stays healthy — he gets adjusted frequently himself.

Dr. Evan Willow was born and raised in Victoria, B.C., Canada, where he grew up playing baseball and soccer. In 2014 he received a scholarship to play collegiate baseball at McPherson College in McPherson, Kansas, where he also pursued a major in biology and a minor in chemistry. During his junior season, he injured his lower back to the point he could barely walk or dress himself — after working with the team chiropractor for over a month he was able to get back on the field, and he immediately knew chiropractic was the career he wanted to pursue.
Upon graduating from McPherson in 2018, he spent a year as a teacher and strength and conditioning coach at an international boarding school in Canada. In the fall of 2019, Dr. Willow relocated to San Jose, California to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he became president of the Motion Palpation Club. He graduated in December 2022 with Magna Cum Laude honors and a nomination for the Clinical Excellence award.
Dr. Willow and his wife fell in love with Prineville and all Oregon has to offer — they’re both active hikers and skiers. His favorite hobby is golf, and he treats patients of all ages, with experience ranging from pediatrics and geriatrics to NFL and college athletes and weekend warriors.
