Dr. AJ is great! Very knowledgeable, and takes his time to explain things. Relaxed atmosphere, I really feel like my health, and care is in good hands. Only had my first visit but look forward to my continued care with his knowledge, and expertise. Friendly office staff too which is always a plus! Thanks

Had knee pain for a year. Found out it was knee tendonitis. Three co-workers recommended Dr. G. After 3 sessions the pain/soreness was gone and I experienced no pain after my usual physical activity. Highly recommend him if you are looking for a very professional provider.

Best place to go for quality care! AJ, Sabrina, and Bunny are awesome! They remember who I am and my health issues. They are very attentive and caring!

Daniel Reiner

DR.AJ Is very knowledgeable and easy to work with, when I came to him with my issues he was able to pinpoint and explain what was happening and start treatment. I would recommend him to anybody!!

Dr. AJ is nothing short of a miracle worker! I woke up one day with terrible knee pain. My first instinct was to see an orthopedist but could not find one in the area that was taking new patients. My husband had been to Dr. AJ for a chronic issue with planter facetious, after many different doctors, treatments and therapies hadn't cured the problem. Dr. AJ having good insight on how to work with runners and athletes eliminated his 2 year long pain with a few visits. And now, he has done the same for me! He got me right in for an appointment, even on a holiday week!! He is very professional and caring. The office is bright and clean, the staff so pleasant and accommodating. I highly recommend him for any issues with aching muscles and joints.

Both Dr. AJ and Dr. Sabrina are great. They have provided the best care in the office in addition to giving me exercises to do on my own to speed up my care and help with prevention.

I have dealt with chronic pain due to musculoskeletal issues for the last decade. In that time I have seen multiple PTs, rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, chiropractors, and GPs. Dr AJ was the first person to move beyond a narrow diagnosis towards a more comprehensive treatment plan, which has greatly improved my quality of life. The addition of Dr Sabrina, who is a kindred spirit in terms of her treatment philosphy, expertise, and good heart, has been an incredible addition. I cannot reccommend Drs. Gagliardi and Sabrina highly enough.

Dr. AJ cares about his patients. Every time I leave his office I feel brand new. I recommend him to friends and family all the time. If you’re having neck or back pain, he is the best! Go to him!

The staff and doctor are very knowledgeable and courteous.

I would recommend Dr. AJ to anyone!! When I came to him I was a mess. Ignoring one injury led to another. “No problem”. He is managing and healing all and I’ve been able to return to regular activities very quickly. LOVE the zero gravity treadmill!! I used to be an avid power walker but had been sidelined for years - no more!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I was referred to Dr. AJ from a friend and was told how amazing he was. I have spent 10’s of thousands of dollars going to specialist after specialist and was told my back was injured and went through treatments and surgery to try and correct what I was told happened. I was a dancer in college and listened to the best doctors at NYU hospital to be lead down a road of 11+ years of pain and nothing working. As a dance major we were warned about chiropractic work and I believed every word. Not realizing at the time that my professor was just a person who had an opinion like everyone else. But then watched a documentary on professional ballet dancer Misty Copeland, and in every scene between shows she was being worked on by chiropractors from all over the world! So I decided to visit Dr. AJ and was literally in a state of shock the week after seeing him. His evaluation was so much more hands on and he actually manipulated my legs and arms in different positions. Not just what I had received prior, bend over, stand up, your fine, it’s the injury. After he sent me for x-rays he also said he wanted one of my hip, which was something no one had ever said anything about my hip. They come back and we now are looking at an issue I was treating per order of my doctors from NYU hospital at the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries, and realizing the pain resulted from a hip issue! So after my long story the point is, if you are one of those people who have feared chiropractic work like I did, go see Dr. AJ because after only 4 visits I am seeing a huge difference and trust he will get me back to 100% after 11+ years of struggling! Dr. AJ is fantastic and makes a patient feel heard and actually cares!! It’s so hard to find someone who listens and truly cares! He is that! And Bunnie at the front desk is just a cherry on top! Such great people!! Go see them!

After a single visit Dr. Gagliardi had me bicycling and swimming again without a bit of pain. His initial estimate was that my back problem would require 8 visits to correct. In fact he did it in 3 so you know he will not advise unnecessary appointments. I highly recommend him. In subsequent visits the doctor has greatly reduced the constant pain in my wrists and neck while I continue to bicycle and swim more and more. Still highly recommended.

Billy Pease

First impressions are everything. First off it starts with the front desk. Bunny puts a smile on everyone's face and its always uplifting when you walk in the office. First appointment with Dr. Aj was different than most. He evaluated me and was open and honest "you are all kinds of messed up, but we can help you." Its been 1 year and I can say my quality of life has Improved drastically. I was referred to DR. Aj from co workers for lack of mobility in the shoulder (couldn't even raise my arm to shoulder level). Dr. Aj has been able to loosen my arm and I can now swing a golf club and softball bat which I haven't been able to do in years. He had also been able to help with my low/middle back pain and the other aches that come with that from knees to hips and feet. DR. Aj takes time and explains what he is doing and why I will continue to refer anyone who has issues to him.

Drs. Sabrina & AJ always take such good care of my family and me. I have recommended the practice to numerous other folks over the six years I’ve been a patient. Folks in the office have been super kind and helpful as well.

Little to no wait, super friendly staff, great service and almost immediate results. Highly recommend!

Ronald Zocher

As always a rewarding experience.

Grace Pascale

I have seen Dr. AJ for two running related injuries, and both times I was sure what the issue was before I walked in the door. Within 5 minutes, Dr. AJ was able to accurately diagnose my injuries - and it's never what I thought the injury was. Most importantly, he was able to treat and fix both of my injuries in minimal sessions. I fully trust Dr. AJ to not only diagnose my injuries, but to get me back running again in no-time. I wouldn't trust anyone else to treat my injuries and I would recommend him to anyone experiencing pain or discomfort, especially fellow runners.

Excellent caring doctors. Highly recommend them if your in pain. You will learn how to help yourself.

Margaret Smith

I have been helped tremendously with the chiropractic and physical therapy from both Dr. AJ and Dr. Sabrina. My lower back pain has significantly decreased and is now manageable. Everyone in the office is extremely welcoming and friendly. They also go out of their way to book appointments that are the most convenient for each patient. Love this place and everyone in the office!

Kelly Binkoski

I highly recommend! After weeks of severe constant back/sciatic pain, I started PT with Dr. Sabrina. The pain started to decrease after the first visit. I am so happy and thankful to say that I am feeling a little better with each visit. I was there today! Dr. Sabrina is awesome!

Louis Anthony Colello

Hello All, I just wanted to show a bit of gratitude and thanks for level of care provided by Dr. AJ. After being sidelined with a severe back and neck injury do to a horrible motor vehicle accident and having multiple injections/epidurals, (physical therapy sessions that essentially aggravated my injuries) and seeing four other different chiropractors, I was talking with a friend of mine that told me about Southern Connecticut Muscle and Joint Performance Chiropractic and how much Dr. AJ had helped her. After listening to how committed Dr. AJ is to his patients and how educated and well versed on the latest treatment options and technology, I knew that I needed to get in to see this man, especially since I was just short of surgery myself. I called and set up an appointment for an evaluation, now mind you, I walked in there with a cane and in a great deal of pain well, after the evaluation, adjustment and some manipulation, I was able to walk out of Dr. AJ's office unassisted. In short, I saw Dr. AJ three days a week for quite some time and thanks to him I'm able live a much better quality of life than before. I still have flareups from time to time, but nothing like before and now I'm only seeing Dr. AJ anywhere from 1-3 times a month. Considering my injuries that's huge for me and I haven't had to have any surgery! If anyone out there reading this is living with pain and you don't know where else to turn, I strongly suggest you call for a consultation and explore your options from a doctor that clearly deals with each patient on a case-by-case basis! Thank you Doc for everything you have done for me!

Dr. Aj has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable with my back issues. I highly recommend him.

Greg Lloyd

Took a lot of time with questions to eveluate.

Nancy Vianney

Dr. AJ was recommended to me by a customer/acquaintance for a shoulder injury I had been struggling with for at least 9 months. He saw me within several days of my initial call and I left his office after a short appointment feeling confident. My next appt was 2 days later and I'm already feeling more strength & elasticity in my arm. The treatment I received from DR AJ is like no other I have had to date and so far the most effective to getting my arm back to normal mobility.

Jason Phipps

Dr. Gagliardi has a true passion to help people overcome their injuries through expertise and education. He has motived me to do the small things that can prevent big injuries. When I do experience pain, I'm relieved to know he is only a phone call away and can help diagnose my problems and provide me with a solution.

Cassie DeFelice

Very knowledgeable of different injuries athletic and other. Dr AJ was able to help me when many other doctors couldn't!

Kim Robarge

Love Dr AJ! He has helped me with a frozen shoulder that other Dr’s said I would have to have surgery. Highly recommend this practice!

Hillary Mendillo

Dr. AJ is a master at diagnosing just about any physical ailment. His treatment is conservative, effective, and yet gentle. He goes beyond diagnosing and treating by formulating strategies to help prevent injuries from returning. The office is impeccably clean and all the staff are delightful. My occupation is very physically demanding and I would not be able to work pain-free if not for Dr. AJ! I highly recommend him!

TOTY sweety

I know Doctor AJ for more than a year. My health has improved 100%. He helped me with back and joint pain. They are now gone, he introduced me and show me a weight loss plan also. This was so important for me to work on my body because I have diabetes. I work out in his office under his supervision on the Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill. Since i have work out i have lost my diabetes and a lot of weight. Thank you Dr. AJ! Please give him a try! Leticia A.

Mark Racine

Dr. AJ is the best. I highly recommend a couple visits to fix what ails you.

Just great care! Highly recommended for Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy!

Sandi Shelton

I went to see Dr. Gagliardi for an elbow problem that just wouldn't resolve. He figured out quickly what was going on, and helped me with both some neck exercises and A.R.T. therapy on the elbow itself. After just a few treatments, the pain was mostly gone, and Dr. Gagliardi has helped me find ways of working and moving that promote further healing. He is such a good listener and is really knowledgeable! I highly recommend him.

Gina Norwood

Dr. Gagliardi is the Shoreline ' s best kept secret for resolving - meaning healing completely- carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, TMJ headaches, and helps provide pain relief from neck and back problems. At least that is what he has done for me. If he can't help, he tells you that, too. I can't thank him enough for his good work, but I can give him the best recommendation.

Chris Withington

I had been suffering with vertigo and nausea for two full weeks and had been to many different doctors and specialists to see what was going on. After many different tests and the doctors not really knowing why I was suffering with these symptoms, I decided to call Dr. AJ Gagliardi thinking to myself could this be a neck issue? After seeing Dr. Gagliardi the very first time, my nausea was completely gone! I couldn't believe it because I was experiencing the nausea for weeks! He then diagnosed me with Cervicogenic vertigo which my MD confirmed in my annual physical the day after. (I had been doing weight training and injured my neck where I had a previous bad neck injury/whiplash from a prior car accident). I have been seeing Dr. Gagliardi for several weeks and am on the road to recovery. I am truly grateful and so happy I went to see him and highly recommend him to everyone I know. He is amazing, many thanks!
