Patient Testimonials
“Today, six weeks and 4 days after being told by my MD orthopedic surgeon that there was nothing he could do for me and it would take 3-6 months to recover from a broken tailbone, I went rock climbing and had zero pain. Not willing to accep...t the initial prognosis I went to Dr. Gorodinsky who reset the bone and did her magic. She said it would, like any bone, take 6 weeks to heal - she was right on target. And two weeks after seeing her I was off the pain meds: she said, one week ;-). But the MD gave me script for pain med for 2 months! There are many tools in the toolbox. You just need to find someone who knows how to use the ones you need. If you need a sports doc in NYC this is who I recommend.

“Dear Dr. Gorodinsky,
Many apologies for being out of touch. I have thought about getting in touch with you for past year, and no excuse for not doing it until now.'
What I need to tell you is my shoulder has "healed" 100%. It was one of those things that about 6 months after the PRP procedure when I contacted you saying there was still residual discomfort (and I thought some new areas of discomfort), I ignored your comment that it sometimes takes longer, and was resigned that this didn't work. Then maybe 3 months later I was doing a yoga pose involving my left shoulder that before I had both weakness and pain, and was able to do it pain free with normal strength. The lightbulb went off in my head that my shoulder was completely healed.
So you can add my treatment to your many stories of "miraculous" success.
Thank you for your help in mending my body.
Best, James”
“Dr. Gorodinsky is the kind of physician every patient should have, and every doctor should aspire to be---warm, compassionate and caring. She doesn't just treat the complaint you come in with, she wants to get to the root of it. She uses osteopathic manipulation to restore balance to the areas of your body that are out of balance, in an effort to help the body heal itself. Sometimes, while implementing osteopathic manipulation, Dr. Gorodinsky also fleshes out feelings that contribute to your physical imbalance. When this happens, her treatment will shift to the emotional factors that contribute to a physical ailment, and she works to restore balance to all facets of a patient's life, recognizing that there are emotional and spiritual aspects to a physical problem. In Dr. Gorodinsky's office, the patient is clearly a partner in keeping him or herself healthy, and Dr. Gorodinsky consistently offers easy, conservative and reasonable tools to promote wellness, and to encourage patients to stay on top of their own health. She answers any and all questions that a patient may have. I, for one, am very grateful to have met her and pleased to call her my doctor.

“I wanted to take a moment to share with you my experience with Dr. Gorodinsky, an osteopath who has truly changed my life.
Before meeting Dr. Gorodinsky, I was struggling with chronic back and neck pain, as well as numbness in my arms, hands, face, and lips. This constant discomfort triggered depression, daily stress, and frustration, leaving me feeling hopeless about my future at the young age of 30.
After receiving a cat scan and MRI, doctors recommended surgery due to 7 herniated discs in my neck and upper spine. However, after seeking second and third opinions and feeling like there was no hope, I was introduced to Dr. Gorodinsky. As someone unfamiliar with this type of treatment, I was skeptical and hopeless, but Dr. Gorodinsky's thorough explanation during our first consultation put me at ease. She showed me a vertebrae with nerves going through it, explaining why I was experiencing numbness, and had an immediate plan of treatment that did not involve any medication or surgery.
After just one single adjustment with Dr. Gorodinsky, I felt immediate relief as my posture was corrected and pressure was taken off my injuries. I continued on her program, seeing her bi-weekly and eventually leading up to PRP treatment to fix the discs and injuries in my neck and back. Within a 6-month time frame, my body was naturally healed of any pain. I am now actively exercising and lifting weights, with no more numbness or discomfort. And if there are times that I do have something come up, I will schedule an immediate appointment, knowing that with a simple adjustment, Dr. Gorodinsky will have me back to my strong self.
Despite the fact that I drive from Long Island for an hour and a half commute to see her, it's worth it every time. I would certainly fly across the world to receive this type of treatment, as I know it's not normal. Dr. Gorodinsky is extremely talented and, besides her incredible powers of healing, she has become an incredible best friend and one of the best humans I know.
If you're ever wondering if this is the place for you to change your life and be pain and discomfort-free, you have found your person. You can ask Dr. Gorodinsky for my phone number to use me as a reference. Thank you, for all you have done and everything that you continue to do.
