Dr Chiapetta was thoughtful, friendly, and knowledgeable. He was able to pin-point something that has been bothering me for a few months during my first visit. Not only that, but he had shared tips and techniques to ensure my problem doesn’t return. I feel like I’m in great hands when I’m at his office. Wish more doctor visits was this pleasant. I highly recommend him!

This was my second time seeing this doctor. He's really great, and always available on such short notice. The appointment took 20 minutes, and I was only waiting for less than five! Highly recommend seeing him.

Dr. Chiappetta is kind, caring, gentle, and knowledgeable on many muscle/joint related illnesses. He is open to listening to suggestions and gives solid recommendations. It is easy to get an appt in his office that works with YOUR schedule. He is without a doubt my top recommendation for a chiropractor in NYC!!!

Dr. Chiapetta is amazing! Always so helpful
January 22, 2019Joanna R.Verified patient
Dr. Chiappetta has fantastic bedside manner and is focused on educating his patients; however, I would not recommend seeing him. I initially saw Dr. Chiappetta for assistance with my posture and an adjustment. He had me come in once per week over a 3 week period. Unfortunately, I now have significantly more pain and discomfort than I did prior to seeing Dr. Chiappetta - no response from his office when I mentioned this, which is horrible. I'm getting a second opinion and really hoping he didn't do any serious damage.
August 27, 2018Amanda G.Verified patient
I have had problems with my back for years from working a desk job. He is an absolute miricle worker. Takes time to find what is hurting you and has a great bedside manner. I highly recommended.
July 19, 2018Scott L.Verified patient
This was my first time ever going to a chiropractor and he knew what was wrong with me immediately! I also saw the ortho Dr. Ea who was also amazing and pointed out my issues right away!! I’m only coming here!!
May 18, 2018Ummey K.Verified patient
I've been seeing Dr. Chiappetta for a few weeks now and he's helped me a lot! I've been suffering from lower back pain for months and decided to see a chiropractor. After my first visit, I immediately felt relief. After my second visit, my back pain was almost completely gone. I would highly recommend Dr. Chiappetta.
April 24, 2018Alex C.Verified patient
He was amazing! He explained everything that he was doing and really wanted to help ease the pain I was in. I appreciate coming here and although I was initially nervous, I’m happy to go back! He made everything easy!!
March 19, 2018Lauren P.Verified patient
Dr. Chiapetta is nice and courteous and has all the necessary equipment including the electric stimulation for the muscles for an all over chiropractic treatment.
January 12, 2018Nick H.Verified patient
Best Chiropractor I've gone to here in NYC! Highly recommended. He has a different approach to healing which I believe promotes long term recovery! Will continue to go when needed.
September 20, 2017Chantelle R.Verified patient
I was very skeptical as to whether or not a chiropractor would work given the fact that I had never visited one before and I was hearing mixed reviews regarding treatment. I woke up this morning in a miserable mood and was not looking forward to my day whatsoever - I figured this was because it was Friday and I simply didn't want to go to work along with some other personal issues. Immediately after my 40 minute appointment and treatment with Thomas, my mood instantly improved and I feel great after a single appointment. I'd been sleeping on the floor for the past week out of lower back pain discomfort. He took the time to explain my issues and show me what was wrong, would highly recommend to anyone complaining of
September 22, 2017Pablo L.Verified patient
This man is amazing. This is the 2nd injury that I went to him for and I always feel better afterwards. He is very knowledgeable and I love that he makes sure I am ok before sending me on my way. Not that I want to go back because it means I have hurt myself yet again, but I will be going back to Dr. C for sure.
August 3, 2017Rajeev A.Verified patient

March 18, 2017Andrea N.Verified patient
I had a muscle spasm in my back doing pull ups. I was in a lot of pain and could hardly turn my head to the right. I booked an appointment with Dr. C 2 days after the injury, and ended up coming back 3-4 more times. Every time I came back I showed incremental progress with range of motion and pain. Dr. C was able to diagnose the injury very quickly and had a plan in mind on how to treat it. It is only 10 days since the initial injury and although I am not 100% yet, I definitely feel that I would not be where I am today with out the help of Dr. C. After my last visit, I was provided with stretches and workouts to do on my own, with instructional online videos, to get me to 100%. Dr. C is knowledgeable of the industry and I definitely recommend.
February 21, 2017John Luke B.Verified patient
Horrible experience. The doctor saw me right away but was completely unenthusiastic. I didn't feel satisfied with the quality of care I received. It didn't seem like he wanted to be there. The session lasted only about 15 min and wasn't helpful. It felt like a waste of time.
February 17, 2017Initials hidden
Efficient, professional and friendly! He makes you feel at ease, walks you through the process and gives you suggestions/feedback for things to do on your own to alleviate whatever pain your having. Seeing him regularly here on out. A+!

I was able to get a same day appt. When I arrived I was ushered in immediately. The office was spotless. Dr. Chiappetta explained the procedures before he did anything. He was pleasant and knowledgeable. Seemed to know what he was doing. More importantly I was feeling like a million bucks the next day. Thank you Thomas Chiappetta!!
November 11, 2016Ina Elizabeth M.Verified patient
Made me feel comfortable. Very knowlegeable. Would definitely use again and would definitely recommend. Went to his office with 5 rate pain and left his office with 1 rate pain. Fantastic. Hopefully I can get a good nights sleep once and for all. :)
