Dr. Shepelyak is highly skilled in both western and integrative medicine and treatment protocols…read more He was able to quickly assess that the root cause of my back pain was inflammation linked to my autoimmune thyroid and gastric conditions. As such, he was able to select the most effective treatments for my condition. I would highly recommend him to friends and family suffering with long standing and unresolved back, shoulder, and neck pain.

I have had wide spread muscle pain and tightness for most of my life. A few years ago it was…read moreexacerbated after a bad reaction to an antibiotic. I could barely walk or lift my hands up due to the pain. I was devastated-and most doctors had no idea what to do and didn't want to bother with a case of systemic pain of unknown origin-especially after all of the more typical diseases were ruled out. Not only did Dr Shepelyak take me seriously but he has been successfully treating me with a combination of therapies, including prolotherapy and PRP. I am walking, typing and texting with far less pain. I can now sleep without any pain medication. Dr. Shepelyak is caring and listens while providing extraordinary care. He takes his time with each patient and thinks outside of the box-two things that are so rare in medicine these days. I recommend him to everyone I know, especially people with back and neck pain, migraines and other muscle conditions where they have been unable to get relief.

Dr Michael Colin is a rarity in medicine. An extremely intelligent Rheumatologist! I had gone to…read moreseveral renowned physicians since having Anterior Cervical Surgery with fusion because of systemic pain which mainly manifested in my lower back. Neurologist, Primary care Doctors, pain management .. you name it I saw them and had scans ordered every 3 months... and nothing. No one could answer why I would loose complete strength, inability to walk, tremors, extreme weakness, fatigue, cognitively slow... I battled with pointless medication for the pain until my brain shutdown along with my body. Here's were this gem of a doctor saved me and my joints from eroding, auto inflammatory disease, and pain management. Finally someone who listens to the entire issue not the symptom.. He's not dismissive but instead supporting and thinks outside the box. I'm an unusual case for a woman of 46 but he's helped me regain my life. Im 8 months into treatment and I'm finally seeing a light! Dr Colin's knowledge of current treatment plans and old school Dr Know How is why he's my top doctor!

I can see my body is starting to work as one unit again, which makes such a difference in my day to day life rather than constantly worrying about how to work around the injuries. I'm also now acutely aware of what is right function in mh body thanks to Dr. Lauren educating me on what's happening no matter how complex the issue. This is the most effective modality I have ever had and am so grateful to have found Dr Lauren!!

I highly recommend Dr Olivieri. He's a very experienced and caring doctor. I have been seeing him…read morefor at least 10 years and have never had an issue. I also commend his staff who are very attentive and get to know the patients.

Dr. Olivieri's made the move from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The new address is by the WTC at 139…read moreFulton Street (between Broadway and Nassau). He also has another location in Midtown East (139 East 36th in Murray Hill between Park and Lexington). Since he's moved to the city, he has a more competent staff including a Physician's Assistant (PA) who can see you instead of Olivieri if it's nothing urgent. The wait time is still a bit long to see either, but nothing like it used to be in his Brooklyn office. He no longer has a phlebotomist in his office. Dr. Olivieri is less harried now that he has his Manhattan office(s) and is, therefore, more accessible.

My mom had been suffering from terrible knee pain after going through a slew of shots and…read moremedication she was finally sent for an MRI which showed a meniscus tear and arthritis, her ortho at the time said she needed a knee replacement, my mom has many co-morbidities and we knew that knee replacement wasn't the safest option for her. I researched alternatives for knee replacement and found Dr. Levy's office and made an appointment for a consultation. We first met with his PA Kevin who conducted a very thorough examination and as mom stated, she had never had that type of extensive orthopedic exam ever, plus Kevin is a very nice guy, patient and very knowledgeable, then we met with Dr. Levy who went over the MRI in great detail with us, we found out that mom had issues in addition to her torn meniscus (turns out at surgery she had 2 serious tears we were never informed of), he told us mom didn't need knee replacement (the practice's bottomline is to save the joint as best as possible) and went into detail as to the procedure he was to perform as well as addressing the menisci, both Dr. Levy and Kevin took their time with us and answered any questions we had. Mom had her surgery in December and is doing well. Dr. Levy and his staff are nice, professional and caring. I was so impressed by Dr. Levy's practice and philosophy that I ended up treating with him for an issue that I've had for over a year, I saw 4 different doctors by the time I was given a script for an MRI and was told nothing could be done for me, one doctor stated I may need a knee replacement, I saw Dr. Levy who easily found my issue by studying my MRI closely and I am scheduled for surgery in the near future. If it weren't for Dr. Levy's knowledge (he's a researcher and inventor as well) I still would be on the vicious cycle of cortisone shots, PT and gel shots. In my experience, it's amazing how insurance companies will easily pay for a major surgery like a total knee replacement (which I don't need) than pay for other treatment that they'd otherwise think is considered alternative, I gladly will treat out of network in order to get the treatment that I need instead of being treated in a cookie cutter way (like being told I need a total knee replacement when I had 'some' arthritis and in a small part of my knee) and Dr. Levy doesn't treat anyone in a cookie cutter way, he treats them as individuals with different needs. I highly recommend him and his staff. Mom treats in the Ironbound section of Newark, and I treat in his Millburn location and both locations are great!

Office scheduled follow up visit but in the interim I was getting better with PT so called office to cancel appointment. Was told on phone that everything was taken care of. Next thing I know I get a no-show bill from the office. Called office only to straighten their records out and was basically told by rude office manager that I was lying and their records show that I confirmed the appointment and the poor doctor and nurse were waiting for me. The nerve of this place! Never going there again (and I suggest you avoid this place as well).

For several months suffered from a Heel Spur. A very painful…read morecondition caused by bone growth. Waited in the hope it would go away on its own but did not. It can be treated by operation or different non evasive methods. Naturally, opted for non surgical. A popular misconception is an injection of Cortisone is the method to "dissolve" the growth. Cortisone can possibly do that but it can also weaken the tendon so the net result can be exchanging one problem for another. Firstly, I was treated in the friendly office by Dr. Chernick who used several TENS stimulation sessions and non Cortisone injections. As there was only minor progress he, turned me over to Dr. Rozenstrauch, "Doc Adam". He also used non steroid injections but instead of the relatively mild TENS unit, used the more aggressive Shock Wave unit. To be honest, there is pain involved in its use so you might want to discuss in advance, the use of pain killers. I did not but the discomfort was just for minutes and only temporary. The result of all these treatments over an 8 week period is that I now walk normally with no limp and no pain. Thanks to both Doctors.
