I'm broken. Everything on me hurts. Chronic lower back pain - sciatic pain- joint pain - ugh you name it, it hurts. Anyway I was visiting my son in Saugerties in August. Before I flew there, I had a headache for over a week. Stopped for a day or two and came back in NY. I got an appointment here because I was desperate. I'm pretty much over chiropractors because they've NEVER been able to help me with my back or sciatic pain and I've spent way too much money on them. So he does my neck (next day the pain is gone). The cool part was that he was interested in why my back pain has never been helped. He agreed that maybe the drs doing the same adjustments over and over aren't working because that's not the problem. (Can't do the same thing over and over expecting different results!!) He inspected me and thought maybe it's my hips - showed me how I'm more flexible on one side. Did an adjustment and gave me a bit more movement on the dumb side. The part that sucks is that he is in New York. I would definitely see him more often. He is the ONLY Dr I've seen that gave a s$&t and tried to really figure out what the problem could be. He offered to send a note to any Chiro here to explain. I didn't take him up on that yet but I probably won't. Every other place just had it set in their minds what was wrong even when told whatever they're doing isn't helping me. I know I'll see him next time I go there. Real nice guy, real nice receptionist

If you see me when I arrive at Mark's office I am usually limping and walking slowly, because I have moved, lifted, twisted, and have a painful back, hip, knee, or thigh or other lower back problems. If you observe me after treatment, I am moving twice as fast, with less pain than before his treatments. I find Mark to be considerate, he listens well, and then silently diagnoses, and then gets to work to relieve the pain, and realign whatever has gone astray while conversing about what he is doing. He asks if what he's done is effective and explains if more treatments are needed. He helped my body heal a shoulder injury years ago and I still have full range of motion years later. His holistic approach includes conversations about nutrition, and suggested ways to help between visits and after the remedies he has done to me are complete, to maintain the balance that he restores. I recommend him highly. The office manager is terrific, efficient, and accurate, and most of all, nice to deal with.

The absolute best chiropractor I have seen. Dr. Mark uses multiple modalities, always learning and employing the most up to date techniques. I moved from saugerties 6 years ago and tried other chiropractors but now drive the hour back to him because he is the best by far.
