Upper Cervical Chiropractic of New York — Attraction in City of White Plains

UPDATED REVIEW: *

It has been 2 years since I started treatment and I’m back where I started. The first red flag should of been the “cure” of my symptoms I was promised. It took a $7,000 investment to figure out what sounds too good to be true, usually is. I regret ever coming here. I’ve read several reviews that stated they’ve been a patient here for years. That alone should of been a warning sign that clearly the treatment isn’t working or they wouldn’t have to keep coming back.

In February of this year Dr. Gertner told me about this new Sonic Wave therapy he was incorporating into his practice. I told him I wanted to try it but I didn’t know what area to do the treatment on as I had no pain anywhere. When I was on my way out he mentioned he wanted to increase my visits to twice a week for the time being, without questioning why, I agreed. Over the last 3 months I’ve been in constant pain with no known cause and Dr. Gertner kept telling me it was part of the ups and downs of the healing process. I repeatedly expressed my concerns yet the pain only continued to get worse. After over 20 adjustments in those 3 months alone (with no improvement) I told Dr. Gertner I couldn’t continue to live like this as the pain was so debilitating. He told me I was the perfect candidate for this new treatment he was doing in his office called Sonic Wave therapy. At $300 a treatment, I’d need about 10 treatments but he’d give me 20% off for a grand total of $2,400. I reluctantly tried one treatment which did absolutely nothing to improve my symptoms or relieve my pain. I realized after Dr. Walter abruptly left the practice, I didn’t want or trust Dr. Gertner to adjust me. I decided to start treatment with a different chiropractor and noticed an immediate relief of my symptoms.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

Before treatment with Dr Gertner, I felt helpless, disconnected from my body and had zero motivation. I’m only 27 years old and for years I was living everyday with chronic neck pain, joint & nerve pain and constant fatigue. Despite sleeping 8 hours a night, my energy was nonexistent. Desperate for answers I saw countless specialists and chiropractors yet none of them could pinpoint the exact cause of my symptoms. It was disheartening to hear time and time again that simply because my blood work came back normal, there was nothing wrong with me. Feeling crazy and delusional, I slowly began accepting that pain as my new reality. I had truly given up until I read about upper cervical chiropractic treatment. The science made sense and I knew I had to give it a try.

From the very first phone call with Dr Gertner, I knew that my life was about to change. I explained my symptoms to him over the phone and he calmly reassured me that he heard these symptoms before and was pretty confident he could help. I booked my consultation for the very next day. I left my consultation feeling my pain was validated and was supported by Dr. Gertners assessment. He was able to properly diagnose the cause of my symptoms when no other doctor could.

I’ve been a patient of this practice for 10 months now and I can honestly say I haven’t felt this great in years. I wake up everyday feeling energized with ZERO pain. I finally see light at the end of the tunnel and owe so much of that to Dr Gertner and Dr. Walter.

Treatment is a commitment. Dr Gertner and Dr. Trinidad are there to help you, but we as patients have to meet them halfway. Invest in yourself, and in your health. I cannot express how truly...

My immediate thought (and conviction) to share about my 11-year-old son being treated by Dr. Gertner, is that I can finally say and believe that in the last 11 years of this winding journey, I was Absolutely divinely guided to Dr. Gertner, and I continue to get affirmations of this.

The positives of my experience at Upper Cervical Chiropractic of New York, PC are professionalism, cleanliness, organization, prompt attention to requests, minimal wait time for appointment time, an overall pleasant and attractive atmosphere, and a person - not an automated system - answers your call during business hours. Oh! There is ample parking.

I knew for years that my son was unwell; gut/brain issues, sleeplessness, joint pain, brain imbalance... I could go on. My son has been treated by a Functional Medicine Neurologist - MD, two Doctors of Chiropractic, a Functional Medicine Digestion Specialist, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner, a Naturopathic doctor/homeopath, a Pulmonologist - MD, a Neurologist - MD, a Gastroenterologist - MD, and has had many tests conducted since the age of two.

Fast forward... my son finally had a sleep study at the gentle reminding of my husband which revealed that he has CNS (Central Nervous System) Sleep Apnea which is brainstem related. UCC has proven to be THE answer to my son's medical concerns thus far and as of three months of treatment with Dr. Gertner to correct the misalignment in my son's atlas and axis, my son has grown in height [pituitary gland], has had improved sleep [hypothalamus] and his hypothalamus is now able to coordinate controlling his body temperature. (My son was always cold at night despite every effort to make him warm.)

I look forward to Dr. Gertner's continued treatment and forthcoming benefits to making my son whole! Dr. G, you are His hands! 1016 : )

A very big 'Thank You' to the Support Staff for your welcoming and warm way at each and every visit and phone call. ; )

God bless you...

Dr Gertner ...saved my life. It sounds dramatic, but I went to him in April with severe back and hip pain from L4/L5 herniated discs. It all started after childbirth a year prior, but the pain had gotten even worse (after seeing a traditional chiro) and I was basically crippled @ 32 (!) years old. I could barely stand up in the morning, couldn't sit or lay down comfortably. Trying to care for my 1 year old baby was impossible and I cried every day for hours, for almost 2 months straight. I tried PT, drugs, steroid injections, acupuncture -nothing was helping and I felt hopeless. My once active lifestyle was a faint memory and I was starting to think I would be like that forever. That's when my friend's mom told me about Dr Gertner. He had helped alleviate some of her pain from fibromyalgia. I read ALL the reviews online, and was intrigued - at that point I would have tried anything. Most of the reviewers said they were skeptical, but amazed that this treatment worked. Upon meeting Dr. Gertner he could tell I was extremely skeptical since nothing else had worked, but also desperate for relief. I began treatment ASAP. By the 4th treatment I noticed a difference. I couldn't fathom how a gentle touch on my NECK was helping my hip and back pain, but I was hooked. I had ups and downs along the way, but kept going for treatment 2x a week. He kept insisting the ups and downs were normal and that I would eventually be ALL BETTER. Fast forward 5.5 months later to today, and I can't believe I ever lived like that. Today I am working out (carefully) 4x a week, able to pick up my almost 2 year old daughter with ease, standing, sitting, walking and laying/sleeping comfortably. I am so grateful. I still go to Dr Gertner once a week but hope that soon it will be 1-2x/month. If you suffer from any kind of chronic pain, I can't recommend seeing Dr Gertner enough. It will most likely...
