Brooklyn Spine Center

I have been going to this facility for several years now and I would not go anywhere else!
I had a herniated disc as well as other back issues, and Dr. Applebaum, Dr. Tom, Dr. Laurie, and Dr. Keller have all been incredible. Each give great adjustments and always make sure you receive better than average care. Even the staff is fantastic! They always make sure to know you by name and see how you’re feeling. I love all of them as individuals and I highly recommend everyone to go, whether you have minor or major spine issues!
I’ve also had issues in paying since my insurance does not cover treatment, and they made sure to do the best they can in helping with payment plans. I’ve never had an issue.
Recently the center began «mind-​fit» for those dealing with stress, and it has helped me after just a few visits.
This place is great and I really cannot say enough nice things about it!

My sister kept insisting that I make an appointment at Brooklyn Spine Center and I was quite reluctant since I didn’t think anything could help alleviate my pain. I finally made an appointment in October and I am already experiencing back pain relief. The office staff is wonderful. I must thank Dr. Applebaum for having such magic fingers. She is definitely a miracle worker.

I used to go to the legendary Dr. Crifasi in Boro Park until he passed away, unfortunately, a few years ago since I was 12 years old. I’ve suffered from childhood obesity, which is why I desperately needed chiropractic care for backpain relief (as any obese person would know). Luckily, I found Dr. Keller’s clinic and was blown away by their care and expertise! Not only do all her chiropractors have an enormous amount of experience, each, underneath their belts but they are above all else KIND and UNDERSTANDING. That’s something that sounds like a given but is missing from most clinical settings nowadays especially in the bustling and teeming metal jungle that is NYC. They always check in on how you are doing and if you are in pain while you are being adjusted or in treatment. Even though Dr. Keller only sees you for the first consultation, she does make an effort to check in on you once in while to see how your doing. She’s an insanely busy woman expanding her practice and running multiple offices – and she still has the time to touch base with all her patients!
In addition I always feel like I’m at home in their office. They have a Keurig machine with coffee and assorted teas that they offer to all their customers free of charge with biscuits and comfortable seating. Even at their old office I felt like I was in my own house. Did I mention they moved to a new location on 59^th St and 16^th Ave? It’s gorgeous and 3x larger! Its so debonaire and reflects Dr. Keller’s elegant tastes!
I’m sorry but the previous reviewer Metsuc K. needs to get their facts straight. First of all its kind of impossible to retract negative feedback from «the internet.» That’s like asking professors to remove all the bad grades from your college transcript. That C you got in Physics I is going to stay with you forever. Same concept here, most review sites would never retract feedback of an establishment, even if an establishment asked, that’s just not ethical. Then they would have to do the same for the millions of other bad establishments. Also does it make sense that Brooklyn Spine Center moved to a location 3x as large and nicer to expand their business if they weren’t doing well? From a logical point of view, larger real estate usually is a direct result from more income which is proportionate to positive feedback from customers. If the general consensus was that this clinic gave poor results, as this reviewer so claims, I doubt they would have expanded in October 2012. The fact that you have to pay for your visits is your problem – seek better employment ergo full chiropractic coverage in your insurance. That’s all I can say about that. I never have a problem with my insurance when I go to my appointments.
Bottom line, Brooklyn Spine Center is the best chiropractic center in Brooklyn, dare I say all of NYC, at the moment! You don’t want to go anywhere else and they have multiple locations (I believe an office in Crown Heights too). Even if you don’t suffer from back pain it never hurts to get adjusted once in a while!

If your looking for pain releif id find somewhere else if i were you. They are only interested in money and even though medicare pays 90% at most other chiros, they want another 30 – 60 per visit. Also they are far too passive and gentle. Dont expect too much in the way of results. Ive been to many many chiropractors and these are not pro active.
Also, i have done research and be warned that Dr Melinda Keller has had numberous negative feedback remarks removed from the internet and thus left with a low star rating and no feedback.
The Brooklyn spine institiute has 4 drx9000 machines that they will sell you at 2 – 300 $ a pop. This is how the bucks are generated at this office. If you are reading this and they want you do have this done, look into getting something called «Spinal stretch» on amazon or ebay for 99 $. Its the same exact thing but you do it yourself at home. Its spinal decompression. Those machines are the biggest bunch of hooey anyones ever tried to sell me on.
Yes, they pretend to listen to your complaints and ills, but the office is packed and to me they are a very poorly run chiropratic office with no real talent for healing.
I was going to give them 1 star but im sure they will find a way to remove this review as well.
Good luck is all i can say.
