Office staff was friendly. Really appreciated the fact that they utilized the Zocdoc app to log my insurance info. Less paperwork for me.
Also, accepted debit cards for copay!
Dr Eggert spent a fair amount of time with me. I never felt rushed in any way.

Dr. Eggert is personable and professional. I felt very comfortable, and the adjustment relieved my symptoms!
Dr. Eggert’s initial interest was in nutrition which led him to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in nutrition, graduating at the top of his class in both. He then worked for a couple of years in hospitals, but found that they were not the ideal environment in which to teach people about natural alternatives to drugs and surgeries! Dr. Eggert’s sister and one of his good friends were chiropractors and, after seeing them for preventive care, it became readily apparent that chiropractic and nutrition provided the perfect combination for a true natural health care approach.
Dr. Eggert enrolled in New York Chiropractic College where he had the opportunity to study more about the human anatomy and physiology than happens in medical school. Having had the opportunity to dissect human cadavers, gave him tremendous insight into the role of the nervous system in controlling every organ, every function and basically every single cell in the body. He comments, “When I work on patients, I remember that experience. It helps me to visualize the treatment I am providing in terms of the complicated network that carries messages from the brain to all tissues of the body via the spinal cord and nerves. That’s why chiropractic is so important… it helps to “free up” the nervous system to do its job in “directing” the rest of the body.”
On a Personal Note…
Dr. Eggert’s wife, Elizabeth, is an international flight attendant who loves to prepare varied and exciting meals for the family. Dr. Eggert readily admits that he used to be ‘king of the kitchen” and a vegetarian chef… but Elizabeth usurped his throne and now she “rules” the kitchen. Dr. Eggert's daughters, Jessica & Haley, are a great source of pride. Dr. Eggert is board certified in the treatment of sports injuries

one of the nicest people i have met in a long time.
December 3, 2015James C.Verified patient
Dr. Eggert did a great evaluation and asked a lot of questions about my pain/body/lifestyle.
I would point out that unlike other chiropractors I've seen, he did not do any muscle therapy before adjusting my bones. I've had massage or electrical muscle therapy done by other chiropractors before my adjustments, and they've always been much more successful. He did have a table that stretched my back out a little bit before adjusting, but it was nothing like prep I had previously from other chiropractors.
I'm thankful Dr. Eggers is close, and his office is clean. He is very knowledgable. I just wish he would consider some muscle therapy alongside his adjustment work.

Dr. Eggert and his staff have provided nothing but amazing care and are extremely professional. The wait time is always almost non existent. I have been seeing Dr. Eggert for only a few short weeks but I expect to be a long term patient.
May 15, 2019Maria G.Verified patient
Great doctor and very accommodating. Called in and was seen the same day for back pain. Dr. Eggert took his time examining and checking all of the problematic points.
February 13, 2019Dimitri F.Verified patient

I went to Dr. Eggert for my headaches that I was getting 2-3 a week. His evaluation was very thorough and he explained to me 80% of headaches are neck related. After 3 treatments I have not had any headaches in the past month. I still go periodically to maintain the corrections that were made. I highly recommend Dr. Eggert.
November 16, 2018Chris B.Verified patient
Doctor Eggert helped me tremendously. He was able to locate the problem areas and tackles the issue as opposed to taking care of the symptoms with muscle relaxers and pain relievers. Not only was the staff professional they were also very friendly. I will definitely be back.
November 15, 2018Ashley B.Verified patient
The exam was very thorough! I had help from the first treatment. I’m going to follow the plan he recommended and am looking forward to the long-term benefits that will hopefully come with it. You can just tell he knows what he’s doing and really cares–no bs. Plus, he and his assistant were very nice!
August 30, 2018Jessica E.Verified patient
If you were unable to make a visit he made you feel horrible. I was in significantly more pain every time I left his office and he would blame it on the fact that I came 2x/week instead of 3 or that I was unable to come (when he kept changing the days he was in office).
August 24, 2018Raven J.Verified patient
Very friendly amd direct. Gives you all the facts up front. Couldn't ask for a better chiropractor. (And up the block from my house)

He was very patient and listened to my problems. First time ever going to a chiropractor I really have high hopes for him, looking forward to our next meeting.
April 16, 2018Vanessa N.Verified patient
Great bedside manner, very kind and engaging and explained all chiropractic issues and fixes in a straightforward way that’s as easy for me to understand. 10/10 would recommend!
January 24, 2018Madina D.Verified patient
Dr. Eggert is very professional and immediately aided my back issues after I slipped on the subway stairs. I have already had a second visit and highly recommend his services to anyone.
January 15, 2018Andrew B.Verified patient
I really enjoyed my experience. I was very picky about who I would see because I've had back issues in the past and have heard horror stories about bad chiropractic experiences. I picked Dr Eggert because he has 30 years experience and then when I met him he really gained my trust. I will go back again .
August 1, 2017Isabel A.Verified patient
Starts off telling you what he's going to do and how long it will take. And then he does it. Simple and straightforward. Unfortunately I did not see much improvement. I'd like to leave a higher rating because Egg and Doris made it a good experience, but I came here to get better and that did not happen. I know others have had successful treatments here so it's worth a shot.
