Reviews of Duke Chiropractic (Chiropractor)

Rebecca Ades

I came to Dr. Thomas physically not being able to run from tendinitis in my hip flexor. Within a week I was back up and running test runs and within a month I was back to normal with a PR in the 10 mile! Throughout the process, Dr. St. Thomas communicated with me through e-mail to a full recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas and Duke Chiropractic.

I am fitness fanatic - creator of TONIQUE fitness and a long distance runner. There is absolutely no place that can adjust, tune and repair my body like Duke Chiropractic. For past three years it is my way to stay my strongest and fittest!

Love Duke Chiropractic! All the Dr's there are great but I primarily see Dr. Duggan, who is outstanding. I tore a rotator cuff years ago and they rehabbed it without surgery. Ever since the tear I periodically wind up with a pinched nerve than runs from that shoulder to my neck, as well as general back problems. They always get me fixed up and are great with same day appointments if I am in a lot of pain. I also want to add a Dr. Duke story. One time I was in a great deal of pain I was waiting for another of the Dr.'s in an exam room. He poked his head in to say hello to me. He could tell I was in a lot of pain and started working on me while the other Dr. was finishing with a patient. All Dr.'s there are first class and miracle workers.

As an employee at Duke Chiropractic I love coming to work everyday! The personal level of care, knowledge and compassion I observe on a daily basis is amazing!

Duke Chiropractic is an all-start team! I started seeing Dr. Duke and Dr. G approximately one month ago, due to ongoing pain in both knees, brought on by my crossfit training. Dr. Duke came highly recommended by my trusted physician and I'm grateful that both him and Dr. G have provided me with the treatment and healing I needed. I've been provided with the care and expertise necessary for my specific ailment and have been supplied with the details surrounding my issues and what preventative measures I can use to assist in my recovery. The road to recovery still continues for me but I'm confident with that with the team's support and guidance, I will be able to stay active and healthy while ensuring I do it safely. Thank you for everything, Duke Chiropractic!

Dr Duke is the ultimate professional. I have been his patient for over 10 years and have referred so many colleagues and friends to him due to his professional manner but more importantly his ability to heal what ails you if you are willing to listen and do your part. My husband was the biggest skeptic I know and he has now been seeing Dr D regularly for the past 5 years. You are in excellent hands when you see this man..and his staff! They are all genuine and hyper-focused on your well being!

Dr. St. Thomas is a fantastic addition to what was already a renown group of doctors. These guys really know their stuff and can work magic to get you back up and running/sprinting/stretching/walking/etc

Deanne Kaczerski

I had an overwhelmingly amazing experience. Went in for an acute lower back issue to which was discovered that I had a herniated disc (who knew?!). I wasn’t able to sleep, get dressed, or really move without feeling excruciating pain. Within a few treatments I was able to tie my shoes again (a big feat when you literally couldn’t lift your foot to put on a sick weeks before). I had a great experience and love everyone here! The mix of treatments used worked well for me.

Abena Tolentino

This review is long overdue, the whole team at Duke Chiropractics are just fantastic. From Beverley at reception who is always welcoming to every staff I ever encountered. I went to see to Dr. G when I incurred a lower back injury and she was amazing in alleviating the pain, she went above and beyond to check in on me when treating over the course of 6 weeks. She has great bedside manners and I felt very assured she was going to help me and she did. I recommend all my friends and everyone to her. Thank you Dr. G for for being the best.

After years of being told that surgery is my only option, Dr. St. Thomas and the team at Duke Chiropractic have not only kept me pain free for over a year, but they have kept me out of surgery and provided me with the necessary stretches and exercises to ensure I remain pain free in the future.

Brandan Risen

I cannot say enough great things about Duke Chiropractic and Dr. St. Thomas. I came into the office not able to move without excruciating pain and through weekly treatment and exercises given to me by Dr. St. Thomas I was healed in 1-2 months. Once my weekly in-office treatment stopped, Dr. St. Thomas designed a specific workout routine for me to keep my back healthy and strong to prevent further injury. The entire team is also very available via email or phone which has been so helpful. Don't know what I'd do without them!

Michele Rinaldi

I can't highly recommend Dr. Duggan and his staff enough. I don't know where I would be in life without him. Movement has been a part of my life since the start of my love for gymnastics at the age of 4. Unfortunately, that included bouts of chronic pain, tightness, and joint impingements throughout my 20's and 30's. Dr. Duggan was able to give me great relief from years of discomfort. He has always taken his time to listen to me, treat not only the pain that was presenting itself at the time, but my body as a whole. His thoroughness and dedication to wellness has kept me moving pain free well into my 40's! On a professional level, I have referred many of my own clients from Rinaldi Pilates to Dr. Duggan and the doctors at Duke Chiropractic. No matter the injury or physical complaint all have been able to maintain their interests in running, swimming, cycling, and sports thanks to Dr. Duke , Dr Duggan, and team. Every now and then I happily return for a tune-up :)

I've relied on Dr Duke to keep me healthy and pain free for years. I'm a former professional athlete and current fitness professional. I've trained at a high level for over 20 years and understand it's increasingly important for me to treat injuries immediately and make sure small pains don't turn into big problems. There is no one I trust more than Dr Duke. What I love most about him (and his staff) is that he understands athletes. He understands that "staying in the game" is a priority. Your body should be one of your biggest investments. You only have one body - take care of it! You are in THE BEST hands with Dr Duke.

Patricia Pinto

I went to Dr Duggan because of neck and back pain, which after 2 sessions I can already feel the difference. What really amazed me was that without him knowing about my shortness of breath issue, I left the office breathing full capacity. I had gone to a cardiologist, had Xrays and tests done of my heart and lungs, but nothing was found. By a sleight of hand, Dr Duggan fixed the condition very quickly by realigning the thoracic vertebra and ribs very gently. I am very grateful to Dr Duggan for giving me back a healthy breathing pattern.

Jaime Seagraves

I have struggled with back and neck issues for many years. Unfortunately, I had to go through two laminectomy's over the past couple of years, but always had the support and assistance of Dr. Duke and his team. About 6 months after my last surgery when I thought I was in the clear, I started to develop a lot of pain and limitations from the scar tissue. I was introduced to Dr. St. Thomas and his treatment plan was amazing. He is incredibly innovative, dedicated and truly cares about his patients. Quite honestly when I thought there was no hope, he now has me pain free and more active and flexible then I have been in years. I cannot thank the entire team enough, but a very special thank you to Dr. St. Thomas for everything he has done for me!

THE Best Chiropractic practice in New York City. I have been using chiropractor's for over 40 years but stand by Duke, which has been my steady practioner for the past 20. A knowledgeable, caring, professional group of Doctors and Therapists, everyone at the top of their game. And Beverly, the front desk receptionist who schedules appointments couldn't be more caring or professional. Even on those mornings when I call her at 7am because my back has "gone out" she manages to get me on the schedule ASAP. For anyone who has experienced back problems, you know how important that is. Love this practice and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Jeff Feinberg

I have worked with both Duggan and most recently St. Thomas; truly outstanding. They listen well and choose the most efficient treatment path. Office is great and accommodating. If you follow their instructions, you will get better every time.

I've been seeing Dr. St.Thomas and cannot say enough great things about him. He is truly a miracle worker. I've had some lingering issues for some time now and have seen so many doctors and thought this was going to be a permanent thing. He's incredibly thorough, truly listened to me instead of just giving me a template treatment. With each visit I feel myself getting stronger and for the first time in years I am performing at the level I did before my injury. He has truly enhance my quality of life on all levels. Definitely recommend this doctor! Wonderful staff and office as well.

Paola Peretti

Dr Duke is simply the best! Both him and his entire staff know how to take care of patients and the quality of their treatments and their level of expertise it is really amazing! I will fully recommend them and I feel thankful that my coach recommended him to me.

scott bruan

peter duggan is another one of the meat head know it all grandiose fitness types. the fees he charges are ridiculous and this place still uses electric stim (come on bros was found not useful like a 100 years ago). he is not terrible, but he is also not very good and his high fee makes it definitely not worth it.

Ali Hoffman

Dr. Duke is wonderful. He was able to correct my problems with my back and neck and alleviate my headaches and sciatica! By combining adjustments with muscle work, heat and electro-therapies, my problems just went away. When I tore my hamstring muscle, he was able to work with my doctor and physical therapist to combine therapies to heal it and now the muscle is healed and working properly! Thank you!!!

Julie Morris

Duke Chiropractic has really helped me with multiple back and hip issues - the staff is compassionate, dedicated and the best! Not only are the doctors great but the technicians and front desk staff are interested in you as an individual and patient and invested in your health care. I HIGHLY recommend.

Michelle Marin

All the doctors there are wonderful. I've had excellent care there over the years. Most recently, Dr. St. Thomas has helped tremendously with a particular challenging problem that is nearly 100% healed. Highly recommend!

Svetlana Yampolsky

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Duke and his staff. I have been seeing Dr Duke for about 3 month. The office has very welcoming atmosphere. They always see patients on time and have very flexible patient hours. Dr. Duke is a unique professional with extensive knowledge of human anatomy and body-mechanics. He always takes time to listen and explain very well why and how he is going to treat your issue. When I started seeing Dr. Duke I had chronic neck and shoulder pain and I could barely turn my head or lift my arm. I was told by several Dr's that my only option at this point is neck surgery. Dr. Duke created a customized treatment program for me. By following his program, my consistent pain I experienced has subsided, my mobility and posture has significantly improved. I feel very confident recommending Dr. Duke and his team to my friends and family

Bryn Cohn and Artists

Dr Duggan is truly a miracle worker. On several occasions, he has assisted and helped to rehabilitate my body in times of acute pain. His patience, sensitivity and deep understanding of anatomy enables him to treat each patient with utmost specialization.

Gabriella Perez

At the risk of sounding dramatic, Dr. Derek St. Thomas saved my life. I was in extreme pain for over a year and no other doctor nor surgeon nor practitioner could find a cure or any relief for me. After a few visits with Dr. Duke and Dr. St. Thomas, we made a plan for treatment and exercise that gave me my life and my body back. "Thank You" will never be enough for what Dr. St. Thomas has done for me. I continue with preventative treatments now with the office, as I'm so impressed by the staff, the reception, the cleanliness, and the incredible quality of care and attention to detail in all aspects of this clinic.

Nicole Bryl

If you’re looking for a 5 Star sports therapy/chiropractic experience Dr. Duke is THE person! He is quite literally a thoroughbred in his field and you can rest assured that if you want something fixed he’s the person who WILL get it done and/or guide you in the absolute most educated direction. I’m so grateful to have this practitioner in my life. Thank you for all the help Dr. Duke. Continued success!

Nick Furness

No matter what my injury (usually running based), Dr. Duggan has got me back up and operational again. He considers the whole and focuses on the cause. I'm always intrigued by why I'm injured and he's always tremendous at explaining how everything conspired to take me down (and he's spot on every time), which is invaluable in learning how to avoid injuries down the line. I couldn't ask for a better sports doc and I recommend him any change I get.

Tom Mackay

If you’re looking for the best PT care in New York, this is the place to go!

Petra van Noort

As a professional dancer I have seen my share of PT's, chiropractors and bodyworkers. Dr. Duke is the "real deal", he has helped me with an issue that had been accumulating over the course of years, which no other practitioner was able to address properly. On top of that he is a super dedicated and friendly person, as are the other people working in the practice. Don't hesitate, get the care you need and deserve!

Kelli Lewis

I cannot recommend Dr. St. Thomas and his team at Duke Chiropractic enough! Dr. St. Thomas is incredibly knowledgeable. Not only is each session helpful, but he provides lifestyle and workout tips to ensure my progress continues outside of the office. The team there is truly the best!

Evan Silberman

I am a longtime patient of Dr. Duke who has helped me maintain an active lifestyle including everyday athletics (e.g. gym, running, etc.) and some endurance sports (e.g. triathlons), despite some minor sports injuries along the way. Dr. Duke (and crew) are thoughtful, friendly, and provide great support whatever your health and fitness goals are. I feel like by seeing Dr. Duke on a regular basis, I am saving myself from many chronic back and other health problems most of us are prone to suffer!

charlene parrish

Over that past 10 years, I've had injuries and some surgeries (knee, ankle). Dr. Duggan has been my go to PT person for all injuries and post op therapy. I know I'm in good hands if I follow the protocol and make my appointments. Dr. Duggan is a master at his craft and always gets me back up and running...walking for me!

Lauren Gershon

I arrived at Duke's unable to walk due to extreme plantar fasciitis. Dr Derek St Thomas started treating me weekly and within a 2 month period not only was a walking pain free but back to running. I was PRing my times and going further distances with his help too! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr St Thomas and Duke's. If you are looking to be healed and not just put a bandaid on it then I suggest going to Duke's and working with the wonderful staff there to get the outcome you truly want!

Joy Dushey

I don't know where I'd be without Duke Chiropractic..As a highly performing athlete for many years, I have been in need of top treatment for maintenance and treating injuries. Once I found Duke Chiropractic I felt so blessed for the top notch treatment. Its why I send everyone I know from my extended family, clients and friends and also felt the need to feature Dr. Duke on my holistic lifestyle platform and share universally. Duke Chiro provides a feeling of safety and extraordinary care that is rare to find these days.

Stuart Calderwood

I doubt that an athlete could find better care and expertise than Dr. Duggan provides. He takes time to listen to the smaller things, not just the main problem that a patient comes in with, and he fine-tunes his treatment accordingly. He's also one of those people who have "good hands": he identified the particular small muscle that was affecting my running by a careful and thorough examination of my leg. Also, he doesn't concentrate solely on the injured area, but on connected or balancing areas as well; he's interested in finding causes as well as treating symptoms. Finally, his constant friendliness and positive attitude make appointments as pleasant as they are beneficial. I can recommend him unequivocally to anyone who has an athletic injury, even a long-term one.
