During my horrible initial episode of vertigo I went to a few specialists to try and address the problem. One of the specialists I saw was chiropractor Martin B. Gillman at New York Medical and Diagnostic Center (NYMDC) as it’s called.
Dr. Gillman was extremely attentive, professional and seemed to really express an interest in helping me resolve my issue. I explained to him what I had been feeling, including my issues with blood pressure and we tried to lay out a plan of treatment.
Dr Gillman took a more conservative and cautious about getting too involved with any treatment until we made sure I was not in any major danger due to my vertigo issues. He advised that I see a neurologist, my primary care doctor, and an ENT before doing any form of chiropractic work on my neck.
I respect that immensely because he wasn’t in it for a money grab. My past experience with chiropractors has been all about milking me and my insurance for money. I like and appreciate this man, he seems honest.
He took his time talking to me and he explained how this particular facility worked and everything about it in depth. I was very impressed by Dr. Gillman and I’ve booked another appointment with a PT at the same facility due to this great experience with him.
Just a life long New Yorker sharing the journey through my lens. Please take note of a post’s date. The views I express here are subject to change and evolving as I grow and learn.
Empathetic, professional physicians are hard to come by. I actually went to a ‘well-respected’ PT group for diagnosis. The head physician has high accolades, but during examination, he was really unprofessional – yawning the entire session (I know a doctor’s job is exhausting, but still…hold it off) and his body gestures were lazy and I didn’t feel respected as a patient. I actually went to a smaller clinic and the PT is much nicer and more caring. Gotta say, as we age, all types of ailments seem to pop up gradually. :*(
