About Dr. Sean Cotter
**PLEASE CONFIRM INSURANCE WITH OFFICE**
Dr. Sean Cotter, founder of Liberty Wellness & Chiro, has been practicing chiropractic for nearly two decades. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree with honors from New York Chiropractic College.
Before pursuing chiropractic, Dr. Cotter conducted molecular biology and cancer research for the Department of Human Genetics and Development at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Hematology-Oncology, Schneider Children's Hospital of LIJ. He co-authored and provided technical expertise for several research papers published in prestigious scientific journals. However, his work in research was overshadowed by a strong passion for chiropractic that developed during his teenage years after injuring his lower spine.
Following his research career, he joined the New York City Fire Department, where he served as a firefighter in Ladder Company #16 and Hazardous Materials Company #1 for 10 years. He attended New York Chiropractic College while working for the FDNY.
Dr. Cotter's clinical experience has led him to develop a unique approach, offering a full spectrum of treatment options tailored to each individual patient's needs. He is deeply committed to patient health and wellness and utilizes numerous chiropractic techniques. He also incorporates corrective exercises into treatment plans to help patients maintain their spinal corrections.
He is a member of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and is a former Membership Chairperson of the New York State Chiropractic Association.

Friendly staff!!! Great experience.

I've been to multiple chiropractors in my life, Dr. Sean Cotter and his team are by far the most professional and welcoming that I have ever experienced. Between the thorough consultation at the beginning of the appointment to the 30 minute (unexpected) massage at the end, my experience was beyond expectations of what you usually get at a Chiropractic office. It's more of a wellness center that also offers acupuncture, massage therapy, physical therapy, and more. The amount of equipment that they have is unreal, without it being too much. They do so much to help you get feeling better and it doesn't feel like a scam or someone trying to upsell you on "health plans". In fact, most of the extra perks are included. With my copay I got a consultation, x-rays, an adjustment, and a 30 minute massage. A physical therapy session was also offered to me, but I had other commitments and had to schedule that for the next visit. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE and would give it 20 stars if I could.

My experience being treated by Dr Cotter was exceptional. From the moment I met him I felt at ease. He listened to what I was experiencing with my back pain and treated me and I immediately felt improvement. His "bed-side manner" is very effective, calming and caring. I would highly recommend Dr Cotter to anyone who needing help.

The office is warm and friendly, professional and efficient. I had a very holistic experience with chiropractic, massage therapy and acupuncture. I highly recommend Dr. Cotter and his professional colleagues.

Dr. Cotter is very personable, easy to talk, and knowledgeable. I came in for TMJ issues & Dr. Cotter was able to relieve some of the pain & stillness with multiple adjustments.
