“Dr. Shave saw me immediately upon my arrival to his office. He reviewed the history of my injury and conducted a physical examination of my neck and spine followed by an x-ray to pinpoint the source of my pain. Preliminary treatment was administered on the spot which finally gave me some well needed relief. Looking forward to my follow up appointment. ”

“Awesome experience. I was in NYC for work, and did something to my neck. Dr. Shave was able to see me even though his office wasn't totally open for the day, got me all fixed up, and on my train home. Highly recommend, whether you live in New York and need a great chiro, or happen to need someone while visiting. Also super convenient location next to Penn Station. ”

I have been a gym rat since my teens and am still an active senior. I am a walking commercial for arthritis although I remain a gym rat. They were extremely thorough and within hours of leaving I was virtually pain free. Nice job. Nice people.

Dr Shave is amazing! He and his staff genuinely care about their patients. I went 2x per week and the only reason I stopped going was because I moved. Take advantage of availability of medical massage and acupuncture and cupping. Just incredible! Miss this place very much!
May 15, 2021Jacquelyn G.Verified patient
I went to Dr. Shave after having suffered upper and lower back pain. I can honestly say he addressed all my areas of concerns. He went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with his services. The front desk staff was very professional. I had the best night's sleep in months. I will definitely be seeing Dr. Shave on a regular basis. Most definitely recommend him to my family, friends and co-workers. Thank you Dr. Shave !!!

It is very rare that I would leave a review, but Dr Shave and his staff have provided me with exceptional service over the last three weeks. After an unexpected surge of back pain that caused me to leave work, I scheduled an appoint with Dr Shave before I commutes home. After filling out all of my new patient paper work he cautiously assessed my pain and started with minor treatment that would quickly set me on the path to moving comfortably again. Leveraging all of the assets in the office, his team helped reduce my pain significantly in 3 days and I felt significantly better in just two weeks. I would highly recommend his services if you are in the NYC area.

Dr. Shave was so kind, personable and caring. After a few initial questions regarding the state of my visit, he got right to the point without trying to sell me on any extra treatments that weren't in correlation with my current pain and issues (which has definitely happened in the past with other chiropractors). I made the appointment with only 45 minutes notice and I was graciously greeted by the receptionist who was also welcoming and kind. I will definitely return and would recommend for anyone looking for a knowledgeable chiropractor.

I went in for soreness on the right side of my neck, thinking I just needed to be adjusted. It turns out I have a pinched nerve! Dr. Shave was so professional and informative and I sincerely appreciated how he took the time to explain to me what was going on. I'm going back tomorrow for another adjustment and to view my X-rays and to be honest, I'm looking forward to it! Thank you, Dr. Shave!
February 5, 2019Allyson M.Verified patient
Dr. Shave and his entire staff were so incredibly friendly and thorough.
He inquired me about my pains, and made sure that I got both x-ray of my spine AND nerve system examination.
He is actually the first doctor to do this since my injury, and I couldn't be more grateful.
I really feel that with Doctor shave and his entire staff you're getting the deluxe package.
Five stars!

I’m glad I found Dr. Shave! He is both a great, knowledgeable practitioner, and a friendly person. He shows great interest in treating the whole person and finding the underlying causes/habits that brought you to his office. If you are looking for chiropractic care, and not just a quick fix, he is your guy.
September 4, 2018Lynell W.Verified patient
I was going through a lot of pain and i am glad I made the decision to see Dr Shave. In 2 weeks, the improvement was incredible. Dr. Shave was really thorough in explaining the issues & what the treatment procedure would be. I highly recommend him as a chiropractor

Dr. Shave is the best chiropractor I’ve ever seen
April 5, 2018Eric S.Verified patient
We are very impressed with Dr. Shave. I took my skateboarder son to him. He had a sore back with pain going into his leg. Tonight following a thorough exam and adjustments--he is reportedly "feeling much better." The office is clean, the staff is pleasant and Dr. Shave was very thorough and explained as he worked. We now have a new Chiropractor for our family!
May 18, 2017Steel M.Verified patient
Upon arrival, a staff member took me on a tour of the office. Dr. Shave then took the time to listen to my pain and concerns, provided answers to all my questions, and gave me a plan for treatment. I received x-rays, heat treatment, and an adjustment and felt like a new person. Highly recommend!
October 14, 2016Allison C.Verified patient
Dr Shave is the best chiropractor I've ever been to. He spends a lot of time with patients to understand their pain and troubles - not just at the initial consultation, but during every visit. Dr Shave has seen me through spinal misalignment, a severe bone bruising, and general stress related pain over the past year, and has never disappointed me.
The other specialists and staff in his office are also fantastic, always greet you by name and remember your conversations. I'm still surprised that this is an NYC office, given how impersonal my other interactions have been at different doctors' offices. This is a stellar practice and I highly recommend them.

I've been a patient of Broadway Wellness and Dr. Shave's for almost 2.5 years and have had nothing but the best experience. I've dealt with extreme back pain for most of my life so chiro care is a must for me. Dr. Shave is my secret weapon to keeping my body upright and relatively pain-free. Furthermore, the staff is attentive, super sweet, and easy-going, Dr. Oh is always available for acupuncture/PT, and the hours are extremely accommodating to my needs. Also, because they make taking care of myself feel like visiting friends, I end up going more often. I would refer anyone who complains of back pain to this office. It's a one-stop shop for nipping back pain in the bud!! Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
May 5, 2016Shannon K.Verified patient
Was a little shy about going to the chiropractor but couldn't put it off any longer with my headaches and stiff neck. He had availability to where my work was. I am so glad I went. It's tough to find somewhere that is professional and after reading all these reviews, it makes it tough to decide. He worked with me on a plan I could afford and make practical into my routine. Very positive and knowledgable. They even have other services there to help. Great adjustment. Nice stretching.

Unpleasant, if you have any concerns about going to a chiropractor I wouldn't recommend him. As soon as I was in he began trying to sell me on repeat visits, after I explained to him that I wasn't interested in those and wanted to see how this first consultation went he immediately became uninterested in my problem. I felt at that point I had become a burden to him rather than a patient.
As for my problem, as many people will tell you chiropractors do not provide permanent solutions. By the time I left the office my back was back to feeling awful. I had asked for any recommendations regarding stretching, but I was not given any. Was instead told to come back for more back cracking.

As a new patient I had to wait, which is expected (paperwork, insurance verification, etc.), but other than that the visit was great! The following day I felt better. I would recommend Dr. Shave as he was very attentive, listened to my situation, and he helped alleviate some of my suffering. I highly recommend Dr. Shave.
