Peterson Chiropractic

OMG! I had to start with those words because I couldn’t walk for couple of days, couldn’t bent down or carry my dog:(anyway I told Dr. Peterson about my ordeal and he said «don’t worry I got you» and he sure did, he straighten my back, lengthen my leg and thank you Dr Peterson I can bend without cringing and I can pick up my dog. Dr. Peterson you are a God send. Thank you soooooooooo! much:)

Dr. Peterson made my life so so much better! He made me feel comfortable, gave me fabulous advice, always made sure my questions were answered, and my injury was healed so much sooner than I expected.
Front desk staff is awesome — and they always have candy!

Make sure you are actually getting an appointment with this doctor!!! I was impressed by the reviews, called and asked for an appointment, then provided my insurance details. I received a call within minutes to say that I was «all set» for an appointment the following day. Super!
Unfortunately when I was checking, in I overheard another patient being told that Dr Peterson was out sick. I said that I had specifically requested an appointment with him. Apparently he is not in my insurers’ network and I had been booked with another doctor. No one had bothered to tell me this — not the person making the appointment or the person checking me in.
If you’re relying on reviews of this doctor, make sure the receptionist is 100% clear that you will see him. Otherwise all your Unilocal research is wasted and your enthusiasm for meeting such a highly recommended doctor is pointless.

Horrible service and false advertising! I purchased a Groupon and tried to make an appointment online yesterday and got one for 7pm however I received a call from a different branch of the business saying that for Groupons I have to make the appointment via phone and not online and so I called the appropriate office. I was told that the Groupon is only valid for appointments until 4pm, even though it says NOWHERE on the Groupon or Fine Print that there are time or appointment restrictions. I work until 6pm and cannot make that time so if I had been made aware of this correctly I would never have purchased the Groupon. When I told the receptionist that I cannot make that time she started getting incredibly rude and disrespectful, saying its not their problem that the time restrictions werent displayed on the Groupon and that if I wanted to know them I should have called, and eventually saying «Well I cant help you» and then hanging up the phone while I was talking. I had been in the middle of trying to make a lunch time appointment when she hung up and after I called back and tried a second time she continued to be rude, saying that if I cant make its my problem and theres nothing she can do without even listening that I was trying to make an appointment for a different time. I am incredibly upset at this horrible service. Not only was the Groupon misleading and offered false advertising by not mentioning the restrictions whatsoever but the rudeness of the receptionist is unacceptable.

Dr. Peterson came to my rescue! When I first came to his office I was having sudden spasms in my right knee that made it difficult to walk or put any weight on. Any one who lives in New York know you don’t get far if you can’t walk! Dr. Peterson was more than sympathetic.
My knee symptom came on suddenly with no acute cause. I had my suspicions having a career which requires a lot of sitting. Dr Peterson was able to alleviate the symptoms and identify the larger issues surrounding my knee, back pain and misaligned hips. He went over a course of treatment and thorough explanations of the causes and purposed fixes for me long term. I have been visiting his office for ongoing care and structural alignment for a year or so now and have had nothing but the most caring treatment.
The office staff is very helpful with billing and ran my insurance to give me cost estimates before I came in for my first visit.

I’ve been to many chiropractors and Dr. Peterson is one of the best. He focus on your problems and provide tips on how change certain habits and how to stretch out the knots. Dr. Peterson is positive, friendly, and flexible with appointment scheduling.
A year and a half ago, my lower back was in so much pain that I can barely sit up or walk. I was worried since I had to leave the country to travel. Luckily I was able to make a last minute appointment with him on a Saturday and after that visit I was able to walk out fine. He literally made me feel from a 3 to a 9 (scale of 1 – 10) and pointed out a misalignment that needed to be fix.

Dr. Peterson is the best. I was getting headaches so bad that no pain reliever was even helping anymore. I started feeling better within the first couple of adjustments (my neck and upper back muscles were so tight that it was pulling on my vertebrae which led to misalignment). All headaches are gone and now continue to see Dr. Peterson twice a month to maintain good health.

If you don’t get turned off by the rude receptionist. Dr. Ben was thorough, friendly and professional.
I should be clear that this is written review is from June 2013

This is an amazing man! Obviously highly recommended, he transformed me from barely being able to walk 2 months ago due to misaligned hips and incredible pain, to walking well and working out at the gym. He is thorough, clear, informed, detailed and a plus in every category.

I have been going to Dr. Peterson’s Chiropractic practice for a year now.
I think he is by far the best chiropractor I’ve had who always listens to my concerns and fixes my problem areas. He knew I had a tension on my right side right away, and we’ve been focusing on that for a while now. Miraculously (thanks to Dr. Peterson’s magic hands), I feel much much better than before and now I can do a lot more without feeling pain.
Also — Sandra and Anna’s massages are great. I would say they are definitely the best ones in the office!

Dr. Peterson was able to make a retired professional Muay Thai fighter feel like a brand new man! Fighting since the age of 11, the lower and middle back always caused problems. Dr. Peterson is a miracle worker. He reset and realigned everything, reset an old dislocated collar bone. And the massage afterwards was amazing. And the relief was long lasting. Definitely will be going there for the long haul. Highly recommended!

Just went in today and it was an amazing experience. Heard from them from the living social deal. Did not regret getting it. Helped relieve some back pain I was having. The massage afterwards was amazing. Recommend this to everyone athletes and others.

I literally just got back to my office from seeing Dr. Peterson… and boy am I happy with my visit! So happy that I was compelled to write this review ASAP. After visiting four different chiropractors over the past 10 years regarding the same issue (hip not straight, one leg slightly shorter as a result), Dr. Peterson did wonders in fixing this with one visit.
After checking my back /​hip bone placement and my legs, he let me know that one of my legs was misaligned from walking flat-​footed for all these years, which resulted in my hip being turned slightly one way. Rather than tell me some BS about having to visit multiple times to fix this, he pushed the bones back in its rightful place without any pain… both my hip and my knee. His mannerisms were great and professional… very knowledgeable and he did not try to «upsell» me by telling me that I needed to come back over and over again.
Highly recommended!

I redeemed a Living Social deal for a massage and a chiropractic consultation. The masseuse was nothing special, but I was really impressed with Dr. Peterson. I play a lot of guitar and am active (surfing, gym, etc.), so I have some occasional issues with my back and shoulders. Peterson was very helpful and attentive in getting me balanced and keeping me that way. Lots of good, straight-​forward advice. He also didn’t try to sell me on coming back. He just gave me some exercises to do and some tips and sent me on my way, telling me I’m in good shape and can stay that way without a return visit. If I do have issues in the future, though, his office will be the one I call.

I started seeing Dr. Peterson around July 2012 at the recommendation of my sister who had been seeing him for a lot longer. I was training for my first marathon and was experiencing achilles tendonitis, tight IT band and general uneveness when running due to all the increased running I was doing.
I was a triathelete for 4 years and my longest run prior to the marathon was 13.1 miles so I had a fair amount of knowledge and experience with injuries and prevention. I always thought a chirpractor was only for back problems which I didn’t have any. I was wrong! I can easily say that without regular treatment for hip allignment and achilles/​IT issues I would not have been able to successfully complete my first marathon in 2012.
Dr. Peterson is really good at explaining the treatment and giving you a road map from start to finish and giving exercises to do on your own to aid the treatment. I saw him twice a week for a few months leading up to the marathon and since I run regularly I continue to visit the office from time to time.
Another important factor for me is that Dr. Peterson was never late for any of my appointments which was great for me because as a busy professional I don’t have time to sit around a doctor’s office waiting to get in. I don’t know how he does it, but others can learn from him. I highly recommend him.

Upon recommendation of a friend, I went to see Dr. Peterson when my back started to bother me. I have not seen a chiropractor for about 7 years because I was reluctant to let a random doctor to adjust my spine. Before my first visit to this office, I felt nervous, but when I met Dr. Peterson, I felt I was in good hands.
After the very first adjustment, I felt SO GREAT, my pain and discomfort that brought me there in the first place went away, and other parts of the body felt much better! Another great improvement were my headaches, which I dealt with almost daily. After 2 – 3 visit, they completely went away. I would’ve never guessed that a chiropractor can help me with my headaches!
Dr. Peterson is a top doctor, very professional and thorough. He walked me through all the things that my body was experiencing and what I can do on my part to maintain that great feeling I have after the visits. I try to keep up with his suggestions, and it works!
The staff in the office is nice and friendly, appointments are always on time. I would highly recommend Dr. Peterson to anyone who is looking for a doctor they can trust.

Dr Peterson and Dr Ben are GREAT. I find punctuality to be very important and NEVER once have they made me wait for an appointment. They are very flexible with scheudule and the staff is very friendly.
During my sessions with them, they took the time to explian in detail of my back probelm, showed me exercises to do and answered in detail any questions which I had.
I am happy to say, i no longer have back problems after seeing Dr Peterson and would highly recommend Peterson Chiropractic to all.

I was lucky enough to find Dr. Peterson through LivingSocial, where I got a free consultation and 30-​minute massage.
Not only did I get one of the best massages of my life, but Dr. Peterson was incredibly personable, knowledgable, and really took the time to figure out what my issues were. I felt listened to, cared for, and incredibly relaxed by the end of the visit.
The office is pleasant, the front desk is friendly, and Dr. Peterson generously waived my $ 5 co-​pay. I feel very grateful to have found this practice and look forward to going every week for a long time.

i love coming to this office. found on lifebooker! YES!
dr peterson is really knowledgeable about everything that causes pain. i’ve had many an adjustment before, but he really zeros in on tight /​strained areas. i definitely notice a difference! recommended maintenance from the doctor is use a tennis ball on kinked areas — i do not have one lying around at him, so he gave me one! NICE!
i also love that this office is 4 blocks away from work!
with co-​pay it’s only 20 $ and they throw in a free 30 min massage.
Not too shabby… i’ve only had it by the real masseuse and she is a strong girl!
all in all, great place to have in your health repertoire.

5 stars for Dr. Louis and the chiropractic Adjustment
1.5 stars for the massage
Came here because 1.) I got a lifebooker certificate and 2.) I had horrible neck pain that spread up to my head
First time going to a chiropractor and the whole experience of the chiropractic portion was wonderful. He was very friendly, explained everything clearly, and helped get ride of my neck tension /​pain completely! I never felt uncomfortable or awkward and he always explained what was going on. NOT pushy at all like some places which try to get you to keep coming back and/​or use other services. He only mentioned I could feel free to ask the front desk if I was interested in coming back when I asked about regular visits.
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Louis for a chiropractic adjustment.
On the other hand, the massage was probably the worst I ever had. I’ve gotten better massages from the ladies at the nail salon while drying my nails. The masseuse did not even touch any of my knots, no pressure at all, it felt like she was merely touching me and gliding her hands over me. Sorry, but I don’t go to get a massage to be groped /​felt up. I can go ride a NYC subway if I wanted that. Also, the ½ hour massage lasted literally 15 minutes (I checked my cell phone immediately before and after). I gave it 1.5 stars since the masseuse was nice and the ambiance of the massage room was pretty nice. However, she did state she was just filling it that one day for her friend, the regular masseuse, so maybe it’ll be different on a normal day.
