Best Chiropractor in the city!

by minasong

Dr. Cristello is absolutely amazing! I always do my due diligence and went to 4 highly reputable chiropractors in the city for consultations before I found Dr. Cristello! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and effective but he's extremely kind, patient, honest, professional, and a great conversationalist.

My favorite things about him is that he genuinely cares for and values his patients, takes the extra effort to go above and beyond what's expected, and treats everyone with the utmost respect! When I went to the other chiropractors for consultations a lot of them said I had a lot of different things wrong with my alignment and drew up ridiculously expensive payment plan proposals. Dr. Cristello was completely honest and upfront with me and informed me that the only thing I needed to focus on was my neck and quoted me a payment plan that was half as expensive. (I didn't even tell him about my other consultations.)

You will not find a greater value for chiropractic care in the city. Thanks again Dr. Cristello!!

• Pros: Flexible, Knowledgeable, Skilled

As a Licensed Massage Therpist, I understand the necessity of chiropractic care for certain pathologies. I also know that chiropractors have a bad rap because many bad ones exist. Dr. Cristello's care is unmatched. He doesn't crack for the sake of cracking, nor does he insist that you make an unrealistic number of appointment, rather he recommends a treatment schedule. His work is gentle, considered, professional and specific. He is also a former massage therapist which is reflected in his work and bedside manner. He has saved my back and neck on numerous occassions.

• Pros: many
• Cons: none

great chiropractor

by rolandashley

Dr. Cristello is not just my chiropractor he is my primary care physician. In other words it is not just about being adjusted but about my whole self, my well being. In fact he refers to his practice as a wellness care center. I step into his office after a day of racing through the city, battling my way through the crowds, putting everyone elses needs before my own. I step out of his office not just feeling better, but with a better perspective on my health and therefore my life. After all in todays world it is hard enough to get an appointment with a doctor let alone someone who will actualy take the time to explain things to you. I feel lucky to have such a talented and dedicated doctor on myside and I'm sure you will too.

• Pros: effective, thorough, good location

Dr. Cristello has a natural holistic approach to healthcare. Besides providing the usual adjustments one expects from a chiropractor, he regularly informs his patients about recent studies related to a variety of issues releated to well being. He has shown me a number of exercises and stretches to strengthen and loosen my back, shoulders, abs and neck and has recommended supplements to further inhance my health and well being. He is happy to refer other qualified practioners (e.g. massage therapists, accupunturist, etc.) to augment the care you receive from him.

Best chiropractor in NYC

by bemann

At first I was unsure if I would feel comfortable going to a chiropractor. The thought scared me. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Cristello, and right away I felt that I was in the right place. His beside manner is excellent! He takes his time with you and explains everything. When he adjusts you, he does it with care. I always feel like a new person when I leave his office. I stand with ease and no pain. Then life takes over again and I am right back at Dr. Cristello's office.

• Pros: gentle, remarkable, caring
• Cons: spoil, his, patients

A Clinician you can trust

by agelmont

Dr Cristello takes time to make a thorough assessment, and a complete review of systems.

He is up to date on the latest treatment modalities

and information which he integrates into his

diagnosis and treatment.

And most important, he makes me laugh!

Gentle, Effective Chiropractor

by healthygrlnyc

Dr. Cristello is one of the best chiropractors I have seen since I was five years old when I began taking chiropractic treatments. He is caring, explains everything clearly and his technique is gentle and effective. He is not the type of chiropractor that tries to "hard sell" you packages of treamtents or makes you come in a million times a week. Rather, he explains a treatment plan and follows it. You can tell he loves his career and is concerned about safe and effective patient care.

• Pros: Takes Insurance, Good Location, No long waiting
