Arie Gilbert, DC

Conscientious, thorough, honest, and hands on. Doesn’t skip traditional methods, and incorporates new methods smartly. He helped me tremendously with my sciatica.

I’ve been a dental hygienist for seven years, and have been in pain on, and off, for a few years. I noticed it in my hands, and arms, at first. Then it moved to my right shoulder, and neck. The first chiropracter I saw didn’t think I had any back issues, my second opinion (who came highly recommended by my lovely co-​worker), stated that I indeed had a back issue. He explained that I had a misalignment in my spine located in my mid upper back region, which was the cause to all my shoulder, neck, arm, and, hand issues. Pain is funny in the way it can feel like it’s just in one area and it’s really coming from another. I never once thought to myself I had a back problem. Once he examined me and pressed into my mid upper back I felt the same pain I felt in all the other places I thought were the issues. I was relieved to know that I wasn’t imagining the pain I was feeling, that it was infact real, and it stemmed from my back. I have only the best things to say about Dr. Gilbert, he’s compassionate, extremely upfront, and brutally honest (even if you don’t want to hear it, you will hear it from him), which is something I appreciate, and need. He accepts most insurances, but if you do NOT have insurance he is also very reasonably priced, this is so important due to how expensive life is today. Some people like to walk around in pain, I rather not. It took me a little while to take him serious, but once I did, that’s when I started seeing the results, and feeling better both physically and mentally. I’m a very emotional person, and I tend to over analyze everything, or take it to a very personal level. Dr. Gilbert is not only great at helping me physically, but, he has also helped me mentally as well. He’s well educated, and knows more than a lot of doctors out there, as someone that’s in the medical field, trust me when I tell you, I’ve seen, and heard it all (good and bad). He dares you to think differently; positive thinking, equals positive results, stress less, and enjoy life more by not treating everything as life, or death. I don’t think he realizes how much I truly respect, trust, and appreciate him as my chiropracter. He has changed my point of view on many factors in my life, which in turn has helped the progress with my back therapy. He’s also highly educated, confident, gentle, and includes massage with manipulation of your back. He gives great advice, and has also referred me to THE BEST massage therapist (in my opinion), in NYC, and a very lovely, AMAZING personal trainer at my gym. My back still has a ways to go, but the progress we’ve made is astonishing, and so many things that hurt me before, DO NOT HURT ME ANYMORE. Bottomline, Dr. Gilbert is the best chiropracter out there, and he really cares, he takes a lot of time with you, even when he’s not working on you. He’s a pleasure, and very smart, don’t even think about trying to fool him that you are doing what he has asked you to do, and you’re not, because he will know. I would recommend him to anyone.

He takes most insurances
