Wil Schweigert

I have been going to Dr. Wil for years. He is my favorite person. He goes beyond just being a chiropractor. He is such a great, positive, healthy energy to be around. I always get great life advice with my adjustments.

My go to for all my chiropractic needs! I’ve been seeing Dr. Wil for years and have recommended my own clients. The staff is always friendly and I always feel welcome and taken care of.

I bought a living social deal. because it came with a 60 minute massage, I first had the massage which was very good. Then I had a consult with Dr.Schweigert. He was nice and took xrays and asked me to return to discuss. So I returned and he said I needed chiro treatment to get my posture healthier. When I said I was not interested in coming for regular visits due to his not taking my insurance he started to to arrogant or abusive. It was so weird because I wasnt going to do what was in his plan. Maybe these social deals arent bringing in the dough and customers he wants. Oh well. the massage was good though but I won’t be back.

Dr. Wil is great… All of the people reviewing him poorly based upon the fact that they are having trouble with their schedules, living social voucher complications, etc SHOULD NOT SWAY YOU. And as for the ppl who say it’s too quick: he will listen to you as long as you have something relevant to your visit to talk about… he’s not a shrink, or guru, or bff. he’s a chiropractor… sure he’s quick, but what do you expect? The bones move, he is done.
I have been receiving chiropractic care since birth, Mom was a devout patient… therefor I have become one too, and after visiting a few other chiros in the city I found Wil, ALSO ON LIVING SOCIAL (with no complications, mind you) and knew I had found my new guy. Been seeing him whenever I feel a little outta whack for three years now.
ZERO COMPLAINTS, and trust me I can complain lol :)
Thank you Dr. Wil, for all your vitality!

I heart my chiro! I too was turned on to Dr. Wil’s office by LivingSocial. I didn’t expect too much for the $ 28, but couldn’t resist the chance to get an assessment and a massage for so little, so I went. I had been looking at several other chiros and let me tell you why I picked this one. I want an adjustment when I need to be adjusted. I don’t need a fancy, sweet smelling, posh place to land after a hard day’s anything. I had a life (before my 1^st baby) and now have even less time to be in there. If you want fancy, go to a spa. My first chiropractor called herself a ‘reflexologist’ when I was very young and have had great faith in chiro-​care all my life. I love how straight forward he is with your questions, how genuine he is about life and all it has to offer and his no nonsense attitude is infectious, all under ten minutes, adjustment included.
I think people are programmed to think that because they pay for a service they are entitled to all the nonsense that fills the space and time used to justify what they are charged. Without all the fluff, people feel scammed and cheated. I think it’s a good thing he used LivingSocial to welcome us all in, and simultaneously, most likely unintentionally, filter out the people that are wound so tight no adjustment can provide relief. Keep your dramatics out of this office, it’s much too laid back and casual for that type of people.
I find I can drop in unannounced more often than not and have waited a max of five minutes to be adjusted. That is what I am after. I like knowing that if I want a massage it doesn’t have to cut into an entire day or require me to go home and bathe oils off after, and for a decent price I can get some knots massaged out, so I can be on my way.
I recently moved further away from the office but will put in the added effort to get over there, always leaving feeling 100 times better at the mercy of a simple adjustment. He adjusted me during my entire pregnancy and I trust him more than I do these licensed drug dealers, «medical doctors,» but that is my own issue. My baby was born with tortecollis and I took him in to have his mini vertebrae adjusted, which helped so much my boyfriend was impressed and is now open to chirocare. It’s now been two and a half years since I first walked in there. I could go on and on. Thanks Dr. Wil!

Dr. Schweigert was amazing! I had never been to a chiropractor before and was extremely nervous. He was very comforting and gentle. I didn’t even know the adjustment was coming… and bam! it was over! It was followed by massage given by Yu-​Whuan (who was also amazing!!). I honestly felt like a million bucks after! I would definitely recommend this office!

I don’t have chiropractic care regularly but I have had enough adjustments to know that it works and to know what a good adjustment is like. I have had three great adjustments with Dr. Wil. I started going because of a Groupon (two adjustments and a massage) and I have to say that this is the best Groupon I have bought yet. Dr. Wil is informative, honest and efficient.
I also want to mention the masseuse, Yomayra, who gave me my last-​minute massage on Wednesday night. After a way too long work day and a way too long work week (and it was only Wednesday!) Yomayra was just absolutely incredible. My body was pretty tense and sore and she helped that melt away with a powerful massage. Thank you, Yomayra!
The office staff are efficient and nice, too. An overall great place.

Like many of the other reviews, mine is also a two-​part. Dr. Wil himself gave me a decent adjustment, and seemed to know what he was talking about. I wasn’t impressed enough to make him my regular chiropractor, but he was ok. i spent about 5 minutes with him though — the man has a busy schedule (or maybe just for the promo people).
yeah, the chaotic scheduling, office staff and massage «room» were horrible experiences though. i have never had a chair massage in a room with other people in my life, even in china, and the therapist was HORRIBLE — obv never trained in her life, digging her nails into spots that were not really muscles, i actually had to ask her to stop — i would have paid to leave. she seemed really apologetic and sad, but — dude. go to school, this is a serious discipline, not just kneading here and there with manicured, pointy nails. it was one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life.

To be clear: This is a review of the DOCTOR, not the scheduling system (of which I have never had an issue). I really wish Unilocal would figure out a more nuanced review system for non-​restaurant/​bar establishments. I also find it extremely troubling that all the «filtered» reviews are 4 – 5 stars.
Dr. Schweigert is a great chiropractor. I’ve been seeing him for a few months now and the pain I was having has greatly diminished. Dr Wil is a genuinely friendly, patient and knowledgeable chiropractor. I’m in and out when I need to be but never feel rushed when I do have a question or a new issue. The staff have been nothing but friendly and accommodating — I once showed up half an hour early and they fit me in immediately. The other chiropractor in the office sometimes fills-​in for Dr. Wil and is also great.
Overall, this doctor, office AND scheduling system are pretty close to perfect. If you’re looking for a great chiropractor this is the guy.

Getting an appointment here was very, very, very difficult. Once I finally got one, the office was extremely crowded, no sitting room. The «evaluation and couseling» was the «Dr» asking you if he could help you with something. He took a x-​ray, no evaluation, no adjustment, absolutely nothing just the x-​ray. It was the biggest waste of time ever. He told me he would review my x-​rays and to schedule a follow up to disucss them. Really? it was a matter of 2 minutes after waiting months to see the dr. The 60 minute massage was actually 60 minutes but it was a chair massage with your clothes on! Ouch! it kinda hurts after you are being rubbed with clothes on for 60 minutes. This was the biggest waste of money and time I have ever spent on a lifebooker loot. Avoid at all costs!

Let me put a disclaimer on this. First, I have a chiropractor I already LOVE and second, I have been diagnosed with a litany of back problems. So I’m a little cautious about who I allow to go there. Therefore, it took me months to try to schedule an appointment to use the LivingSocial voucher for an evaluation and massage that my (best-​intentioned) boyfriend got me, and that could be why I ended up where I did.
The online scheduling system is awful; difficult to navigate and to get an appointment, you literally need 30 — 45 minutes to find a date where there’s availability. I really don’t have the inclination to take time out of my day just to do that. Therefore, I emailed them the details of the voucher, what I was looking for and which days and times I was looking for. They decided it was unimportant to email me back, so I then left numerous voicemails, which also went unreturned.
The quality, or lack thereof, the customer service I received was enough to turn me off to going there. It’s not overwhelmingly difficult to respond to an email or voicemail. Fortunately, the people at LivingSocial were nice enough to refund our money so we could use the $ 29 towards something we’d actually be able to enjoy.

Just… WHAT THE HELL, MAN?! I, too, was a victim of the Living Social Scam. Took months upon months to get an appointment, and of course my life and schedule had changed when my appointment finally came around (new job in totally different location). However, I learned that if I didn’t keep the appointment, I’d be charged, and how was I really going to remember an appointment scheduled 3.5 months ago without timely warning. Do you think they provided timely warning? Not really. Had I already paid months ago and just wanted it to be over? Yes.
So, I go through with it, because I wasn’t about to be charged on top of the fee I already paid to Living Social. This means I have to leave work in Brooklyn Heights to come up to Midtown East near my old office in the middle of the morning, and when I arrive, I’m greeted by the salty receptionist who promptly tells me «make sure you take this envelope and tip the massage therapist.»
WHAT? Had I not paid for a medical massage? «Oh, you didn’t know?» says Salty Receptionist. No, of course I «didn’t know.» If I’d known I wouldn’t have treated myself to the displeasure of having to meet her!!! Five minutes later, I’m getting a chair massage in a dark room with all these other people who are also getting chair massages. It sort of reminded me of what it would be like to be in a brothel, and I know nothing of brothels. Gross.
After that… experience…I was meant to have a chiropractic evaluation with Dr. Wil himself. Too bad for me that Dr. Wil was late. I ask Salty Receptionist. «You just have to wait.» Oh, okay. I wait, and glare at Salty Receptionist. After 20 minutes, I stand up to leave. I think about just walking out, but decide to be mature about it, and so I inform Salty Receptionist. «I’m sorry,» I say, «but I’m going to have to leave. I have to get back to work.»
«You can’t just wait for him? Fine. Suit yourself.» She rolls her eyes.
Thank you for existing, Unilocal.If not for you, and the outlet you provided, I might have been tempted to jump across the table and punch the milk out of that cow.
No, I cannot just wait for him. Not yesterday. Not today. Not ever.
I hope you’re proud of yourself, Dr. Wil! Now I know why your name is missing the second L… it’s because you’re not all there! Oh, and STOP sending me email!
RUN FROM THIS SCAM.

WHAT A SCHEDULING NIGHTMARE.
I haven’t even been to this place yet, and it’s already driving me nuts. Their website scheduling system is a complete joke. There are no available appointments until 2012… Uh, had I known that I would have to wait this long, and that they aren’t even open half of the week (especially not on either Sat or Sun!), or half the hours of a normal business day (the appointment options range from 12−4pm), I would have never even imagined purchasing the Living Social «deal».
For a working woman, I’m not going to take a day off to go to this thing, and I work far enough away that there’s no way I can do this during lunch hour.
Additionally, the website is all messed up, because I tried booking something several times already and it just crashes or says the site is up for sale… is that SHADY OR WHAT?! When I click the back button, it then takes me to some other random site GramercyOne that tries to sell me web-​presence tools for small businesses… Then they ask for your credit card number for a service that I’ve already paid for. UGH, the frustration!
Complete waste of time and money. I’m still kicking myself silly for purchasing this in the first place.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I bought the $ 29 Living Social Deal– what a SCAM!
The deal said:
Pay an astounding $ 29 for a chiropractic evaluation, nutritional consultation, and 60-​minute full-​body massage at Dr. Wil Chiropractor near Grand Central Station. (That’s 90% off the regular $ 300.)
1. It was not a full body massage. It was a chair massage in a room with other people getting a chair massage, one of whom was moaning the entire time. The massage therapists were openly having conversations about people giving them bad tips
2. I never even saw the Dr. I showed up to my appointment really looking forward to my first chiropractic experience and the incredibly nasty woman at the front desk told me he wasn’t in today, but she didn’t call me b/​c most people only cared about the massage anyway. WELL– i cared about the evaluation and I would have rescheduled.
3. Nutritional consultation? I didn’t get that from the bitch at the front desk and my massage therapist certainly didn’t do that. They made me reschedule for my chiropractic evaluation but never called to confirm when it was.
This place is a joke and a scam and I don’t suggest that anyone bring their business there.

I got the $ 29 Living Social deal that included a chiropractic evaluation and one hour of massage. A few points:
1. It’s a one hour CHAIR massage, meaning you sit forward-​facing on a chair while someone does your back and arms. It was a LivingSocial deal, and it didn’t specify what kind of massage you would receive, so I didn’t mind so much. My problem with the massage was that my «massage therapist» was fairly unexperienced. I don’t know how much training she received, but I basically had to instruct her in everything. The only rubric of performance she went by was pressure, not manipulation of my muscles. She also would not stop gossiping with the other masseuse in the room, and stopped several times to take tip envelopes from customers, open them, and stuff them in her purse. At the very least she could have put them in her pocket and waited until afterwards!
Result: I woke up the next day with a headache and was sore all over (in a bad way). I have been to other professional massage places (such as Asian Tui-​Na on 28^th & Madison) and even though there was a lot of pressure and pain *during* the massage, I felt great afterwards and the next day. Here, I FELT WORSE.
2. The chiropractor canceled on me, so I didn’t have the chiropractic evaluation, just the one hour of massage. Also keep in mind that a chiropractor is NOT A DOCTOR; he has no medical licence, never went to medical school, and gets a certificate from an independent board, so I don’t understand why they advertise themselves as «Dr. Wil».
3. I was asked to sit in a chair with vaguely explained «Electromagnetic Field generators» that would «balance my bioenergy» because my body’s magnetic field is supposedly unbalanced by computer work, etc. and sitting in it would «accelerate my healing.» That’s basically total QUACKERY. At the worst it would have caused a small fire; I would have been more upset if they had been randomly using X-​Rays to tell me I had an unbalanced BlahBlah field and made me sterile or something. This is basically on par with hanging crystals and magnets around your body because you think they’ll give you good vibes.
4. They played pseudo-​Asian music incredibly loud in the massage room, presumably to drown out the noisy waiting room right next door. It was very hard to have myself heard and to relax.
I definitely WOULD NOT RETURN. Albeit I got the $ 29 deal, but the hour chair massage only made me feel WORSE, and their crystal alignment electromagnetic field dodginess. I’m definitely going to warn other people away from this place.

let me start off by saying the 2 stars i’m giving (and it may change to 1 by the time i’m done) have nothing to do with Dr. Wil. it’s his office that is terrible, preventing me from ever seeing Dr. Wil himself. in fact, my wife’s appointment wasn’t canceled three times and she had a very pleasant experience. mine however, well, not so much. not only did they cancel the appointments, but i was automatically re-​booked for daytime appointments which conflict with my work schedule. i wasn’t even called to be informed one of the appointments was canceled. further, their office hours changed at least once throughout this painful 5 week-​long process, making it even more infuriating to schedule appointments.
to put the cherry on top, the office staff wasn’t easy to work with or friendly. they complained while on the phone. upon rescheduling, they consistently forgot that i wasn’t available before 5. they also implied my schedule was difficult to work with and this was my fault. no, i don’t work in the neighborhood and can’t be there in the mid afternoon!
i understand– the business has several internet promotions going on and is completely overwhelmed because of this. this seems to happen a lot with these service-​based businesses. is this my fault? should i be blamed? no. now my wife (who had sweetly bought this as a gift for me) has to ask for a refund. this is terrible service, and i sincerely hope no one else has to endure it. from me, Dr. Wil’s office gets one finger up, but it’s not the thumb.

I rescheduled once, and showed up 30 minutes late. In NYC that is usually cause for a fee, cancellation and name calling. Instead I was greeted with a smile and treated courteously.
Schweigert is my kinda guy. Nice but down to business. Walk in, ask me about what hurts and my medical history. Take some X-​Rays, point out a few things. Bada-​bing-​bada-​boom. He asked about my health insurance and pretty much told me it sucked (because it does). Instead of bullshitting me and up-​selling something, he told me he would have his staff call and see if they could work something out.
Had an hour massage and left feeling very relaxed. Went home and went for a 12 mi bike ride through the rough streets of Manhattan. I have made that ride 100 times and every time I get off the bike something hurts. Somehow I feel fine…
This guy is obviously going to get big, he is just too good not too be. The real question is can he keep the same level of care I saw today. We will see.
EDIT:
I now have been three times, and the exceptional service I got was because I was a first time client and came in on a Saturday. Now I go in on the weekdays and get pushed through the system as fast as possible. I understand people are busy, but I feel that «speedy service» is not necessarily something that is appreciated in the medical industry…

It does not surprise me at all to see this doctor have a perfect score on here. I’d give him 6 stars if it were possible.
I’m hard to please with estheticians, massage therapists, and chiropractors. The only bad thing about leaving Texas was losing my trio of miracle workers. I always assumed the chiropractor would be the last thing I’d find, but no. Dr Wil is awesome. It’s been only two weeks and my headaches are all but gone. I’ve also noticed that I can run almost twice as long before I start hurting and after the first time he adjusted me, my leg presses went up by 20 lbs. I know it may be a strange measure of a chiropractor, but if I can feel the difference in the gym then he’s doing something right.
That sounds so much like a commercial, I feel like I should be holding up a shiny spine while I type this. But it is deserved. If you’re looking for a change from the sterile pop and cracks that Manhattan seems to be so full of, this is your place.

Phenomenal Dr. So very Kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He always answers all of my many questions (I like to know whats going on with my body plus its was my first time seeing a chiropractor) and gives great, practical advice. Clean office and very friendly and professional staff.
I definitely see an improvement in my posture and I am no longer carrying a world of tension on my shoulders. I’m all smiles!

I met Dr. Wil at one of his free health dinners (
).
Being the skeptic that I am, I naturally wanted to resist everything that was being spoken about. However, free italian dinner is free italian dinner.
At the end, he offered us a free x-​ray and consultation. I took him up on his offer and to this day I am glad I did.
Dr. Wil has helped improve my neck and my posture. I’ve always slouched a lot and walked a bit leaned forward, but no longer. That, combined with fact that I been working out, has really made me look a million times better.
I highly recommend his services. I have sent many people his information, as well.
Give ihm a shout out, but dont do it via regular methods. Go through his free health dinner and get a free meal out of it first. ;)
