I have gone to Dr. Nunziata for years on and off whenever I had an issue. I have seen him in his old location in Bay Parkway and at his new location in Dyker Heights.
I have always found him to be extremely knowledgeable and talented about my chiropractic issues but because of his broad medical background he gives good advice on other issues I brought up. He also has an "EXCELLENT BED SIDE MANNER", very friendly and sincerely caring. Also I have never seen more than 1 other person in his waiting room. His wait is less then my PT and much less than my dr. or dentist.
I have gone to him for muscle stains, lower back pain, neck pain and now a pinched nerve. He has treated each event differently as needed and has never tried to talk me into weekly "maintenance" that is not called for in my situation...like others I have gone too.
I frequently pull my Rhomboid Minor and have been treated in the past by Doctors and PT's. The doctor drug-ed me, to the point I couldn't drive or work. I believe my muscle got better because I slept for a week. Whereas the PT just left me in pain too long. Dr. Nuniziata's treatments and stretches he does on me, gave me the quickest and least painful recovery. He the 1st and only person I will go to now for my pulled muscles.
The doctor uses his hand plus, has these complex tables that move to assist him in treating me with my lower back problem. He also has other machines like my doctor, ultrasound, and PT, stim. I believe the addition of these machines gave him the tools to help me quicker. Dr. Nuniziata is not afraid of the western medical world like my friend's chiropractor. He mentioned that I might go see the Orthopedic doctor that shares the office space. I declined and that was the last I heard of it. He even had suggested I take anti-inflammatory medication. Something my friend's chiropractor would never do. However, along with the "western" anti-inflammatory he told me to eat a non-inflammatory diet and how to do it. The lack of inflammation spread up my healing process. You would think that is counter initiative since I am decreasing my visits, unlike the dentist who gives the kids lolly-pops when they leave his office.
When I went back with my neck issue, I found him to be very careful and suggested I get a MRI. He mentioned the other doctor in his office but stated he wanted to see the results of the MRI 1st. His treatments where cautious until the results came in. When the results did come in he felt there was no need to see anyone else. During these visits I must say it got a little confusing because he was moving offices. He had me going to Bay Parkway the Dyker than Bay parkway. This all settled down after 6 months and I find his new location is so much nicer. Parking is also easier then it was when the office was at Bay Parkway.
Know I am back again with a stiff neck which turned into a pinched nerve. I tried stretching for a month which was starting to work - then we got a cold spell. It came back and I couldn't even sleep. The Dr. gave me sleeping pills and Flexeril. After three more day of this I called Dr. Nuniziata, he took me immediately. Within that week I was sleeping thru the night without pain. The pain gets less and less each treatment and he even has a different machine for this issue. He told me if I went to him immediately after I got the stiff neck I would have been out of the office in a week. Now I have to wait for the nerve to heal, which could be another month. Which is on top of the month others couldn't help!
What I like most about Dr. Nuniziata's practice is that I come away from it felling better. I don't only mean physically better. I mean, I don't have that bad feeling I had with other chiropractors. The life long patient going back for their adjustment. If that is needed in your case great but if its not great too. I like Dr. Nunziata's personalized treatment plan better! Lastly, I didn't see the snake oil salesman (as I like to call them). When I go to my friend house and I see all these vitamin and supplement bottles and I ask him what they are for he tell me his chiropractor told him to take them. Why not at $30 to $50 a bottle? Although Dr. Nunziata knows a lot about vitamins and supplements he has never tried to push $250 of bottles of stuff on me, like was done to my friend. Worse yet for my friend - he is not covered, for vitamins, by his insurance company. read more
