Dr. Marcus is wonderful as he explains everything to where you can understand. And his office staff wonderful as well. Even though it's only twice I can tell the difference. This feels great!!!

From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted by the most adorable and friendly Chiropractic assistant. Angie was amazing at calming my nervousness about coming in. Dr Marcus Bertolero is absolutely amazing. In explaining what he was going to do and how that was going to help the pain I’m experiencing in my body. I am beyond excited to continue treatments with Dr B. My experience with Step Up Chiropractic was completely WONDERFUL. And I will recommend him to all of my family and friends.

Dr B was efficient and effective. Great help in getting my vacationin Paradise back on track. You can be assured that I will be recommending Dr.B to everyone I know travelling to Honolulu from Canada.

I’ve had sharp lower back pain that would flare up after running for long distances that would force me to stop running from intense pain. A buddy of mines recommended Dr. B a while back but my stubbornness kept putting it off as I just need to train harder. At 30 years old, I never expected that a visit to a chiropractor would benefit me. However, I was completely wrong after my first ever chiro visit. Dr. B fixed me up with my first ever chiro visit and felt immediate relief. Highly skilled professionals here. 110% a huge advocate to visit Dr. B now to get your skeletal issues fixed. Went from feeling like $1 to a million after my first visit and can’t wait for my next.

Had a sore back and needed an adjustment. Was able to get a quick apt within a couple of hours. Still sore from the manipulation but on the road to recovery. Office was professional and friendly. Would recommend.

I have been going here for about 6 months now and it has been amazing! The front staff are so warm, kind, and knowledgeable. They remembered my name after just 1 visit and I look forward to seeing them weekly. Their office is clean and organized. Dr B is very competent and thoroughly assesses my spine each time. The adjustments seem effortless and I always leave feeling so much better. I have sent family, friends, colleagues, and my own patients to him and everyone is impressed! Will definitely keep going.

I was in pain for over a week ,even simple things like rolling out of bed or getting up from a chair were a struggle. After seeing Dr. Marcus Bertolero at Step Up Chiropractic, I can move so much easier and keep up with my little ones again. Dr. Marcus and the entire Step Up team showed so much care and aloha, making me feel supported from the moment I walked in. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern truly make a difference. My husband and even a few of my co-workers now go here too! Mahalo, Step Up!

I could barely walk coming in for my first visit. Dr. Bertolero took me in without an appointment and adjusted me the first day. Withing 2 weeks I had zero pain and felt amazing. The whole experience from day one has exceeded any expectations I might of had.
Kristoffer Gomes
I have never been to a chiropractor before so I had some apprehensions. When my husband came home and shared how he felt so good because Dr B identified all tight spots and was able to get them to pop, I decided my neck could use some of that too. Dr. B is young and knowledgeable. He also is tall and fit, which makes him more credible because to me, if a doctor promotes the value of wellness, joint health, being in túne with your body, and feeling good, then I am more likely to have confidence in his professional capabilities.
Maggie Hong
Dr.B is always awesome! You have a problem area, he’ll take care of it no doubt! If you’re looking for a chiropractor look no further
Tayler Kaniho
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A SIGN TO GET HELP, THIS IS IT! Dr. B is thorough, intentional, and genuinely invested in your long-term wellness. The staff is also incredibly helpful and a joy to be around! I look forward to every visit!

Friendly and helpful.

Was on vacation and it was hard to walk. Immediately felt relief. Step up is my hero, saved the remaining part of my vacation.
Scott Burdsall
First of all, I need to give a shout out to the two friendly receptionists that assisted with the necessary pre-admin forms and scheduling . Thereafter Dr B’s approach to assessing your pain symptoms and then addressing the cause(s) with careful adjustments was not rushed and I appreciated the traction machine treatment for my back too. As a visitor to Hawaii I also appreciated that the practice squeezed me into their busy schedule so that I could enjoy my vacation - on 3 occasions.
David Whitehead
Office was easy to get too. Dr. B is a great communicator. He explained everything about the procedure as he was treating me. Very gentle, yet relieved all the tension and pain I’ve been building up over years. If you need a chiropractor, Dr. B is your guy
Alfred Williams
Going here was one of the best health decisions I’ve made this year! Dr. B and all the staff are so great and I love the community they are building. Highly recommend 🤙🏽
Kamaka Dias
Very nice people and great service
Repien akapito
I’ve been to two sessions so far everything is going well. As soon as i show up to the appointment they get me started right away. The girls at the front are really great. Dr. B really helped me to understand what’s going on with my tmj better. I went to two other doctors before him that didn’t know how to help.
Amy Wang
Great experience overall. I really liked the intact process for a new patient, it’s easy to work with what insurance you do have or getting a good price otherwise. The office staff is professional and helpful, and I appreciate how much time was spent making sure I understood the process and treatment plan.
Aaron Montgomery
Attentive to my needs. Professional courteous staff. Highly recommend.
Gregory Robinson
This place is AWESOME! I threw my back out on the plane at the start of my birthday vacation. Had to cancel a luau and other events. I was in pain and in tears thinking my vacation was ruined! The MINUTE I walked in, all my pain magically went away. I jokingly said the carpets must be healing carpet. The ladies at the front desk are wonderful, kind, fun and just a great energy. Maybe THEY are the magic energy that healed my back?!? lol. They even gave me a suggested list of restaurants to visit while I'm in town. Very accommodating.
Doña Oxford
My visit to Step Up was very pleasing when they greet you at door with smile. Dr. B. was very knowledgeable and he will educate you. I can't wait for my next visit. Thank you Step Up
