Hudson Family Chiropractic & Physical Therapy

I did A LOT of research on PT’s and chiropractors in Hoboken before settling on Hudson Family. I saw John for 3 or 4 sessions to treat a severely tweaked back and it was completely fixed. When I tweaked again playing golf, I saw John again and he fixed in 2 or 3 sessions. Almost as important, John was not a salesman during any of our interactions. He seems to have the philosophy that him being a good chiro is his best sales tactic. He didn’t try to pre-​sell sessions. He told me to ramp down how frequently I saw him as I got better. He billing and pricing is very fair and very easy. I highly recommend John.

I just finished physical therapy [pain in right knee] at Hudson Family Chiropractic and Physical Therapy and could not have asked for a better experience.
The center has worked wonders on me! When Nicole C. [PT] listened to my goals and history to determine the best workouts, she asked the right questions. She then analyzed the information to create the best plan, tailored for me. No cookie cutter approaches here.
Nicole is the best PT I could asked for. She gives you good exercises to work on and monitors you while you are doing exercises. As you progress, she adds on more to challenge you. Nicole gives you focused individual attention, using different techniques to treat your condition. Working with her has been an always pleasant personal experience.
The center is flexible with scheduling, always on time and had a very social, friendly atmosphere.

John and Mike are absolutely wonderful and miracle workers. I had never had a back issue before March when I tweaked something in my lower back while I was squatting.
Unlike previous doctors I have seen, never once was I advised to «stop powerlifting» or train differently. Their approach is fixing the issue and maintenance, if necessary.
I was fixed in just about four visits, with monthly follow ups just to make sure everything is in order.
Seriously, go see them!

I came to Hudson Family for physical therapy after a partial-​torn ligament in my ankle. Working with Nicole was great! They were super flexible with scheduling, always on time (I hate sitting in waiting rooms) and had a very social, friendly atmosphere. Always ended up talking with other patients and it made the PT time fly by. I would’ve given them 4.5 stars if I could… only negative was that their office was a little small for some of the exercises that I needed to be doing. Otherwise the level of personal care and professionalism was greatly appreciated. I would definitely use them again for any of my physical therapy needs.

Excellent practice. Both John as chiro and Nicole as PT could not have been more helpful.

Great, professional & talented Physical Therapist & office team. Highly-​recommended practice on every measure. Located 1 block form the Hoboken PATH above Starbucks at Hudson & Newark. Nicole C., Staff PT is highly-​trained, warm & energetic in helping clients develop & work a PT program to meet their goals. Lori & Tiffany in the front office are similarly professional & do everything in their power to make scheduling, insurance & billing smooth & pleasant. Drs. John & Mike run the practice & provide their Chiropractic work with all the adjectives above.
(Note: I have been through several crowded, chaotic local PT/​Chiro ‘mills’ that are now on my «DNR List» –DO Not Refer.)
– HFC is the Highly-​Recommended & Best in Breed for Hoboken & Jersey City locals & workers. Good people, great services.

I came in barley able to move with a debilitating back injury. 5 visits later my back was feeling great and they told me I was done. No pain to this day. I have been to many docs before, these guys are by far the best.

Lori is awesome. Polite and funny. Always accommodates my schedule. Great environment. Never rushed out. Mike and John are so helpful. Informative and I always leave feeling better. They also do pediatric chiro! And their late hours are the best!

This place is the best, and although I hope I’m never injured this badly again, I would never go to any other place for chiropractor or physical therapy. I love EVERYONE at this place. Lori, the office manager is the most competent and friendly receptionist I’ve ever dealt with. I literally look forward to seeing her when I go for my regular appointments. I had never had a sports injury like this before, and Lori and John explained all my options thoroughly, and Lori helped me to understand my insurance company’s benefits (most places won’t do this-​they want the customer to call their insurance co. and figure out the mess). I knew before I made any decision what my insurance covered and what my out of pocket costs would be. I never felt any pressure from anyone about where to go or how often. They treat me like I’m an intelligent adult. They give me the facts and Dr. John Rotundo and Lori made sure I got the necessary MRI quickly when it became obvious I needed one. In addition, Dr. Rotundo didn’t hesitate to recommend I get a second opinion from a Physiologist and an Orthopedist. I went to a highly respected Orthopedist, and he told me my chiropractor did a great job. I was thrilled to find I could avoid surgery but was informed I’d need months of physical therapy by the Orthopedist, so based on my great experience at Hudson Family, I figured I’d try THEIR physical therapist Alicia and if I wasn’t impressed, I’d go to the list of referrals my Orthopedist in Manhattan gave me. Well, Alicia is FANTASTIC. I have been going to physical therapy twice a week for a few months and my range of motion has improved dramatically. I am no longer in the agonizing pain I was in when I first walked into Hudson Family Chiro. Everyone is intelligent, friendly and honest. They all really care about their patients, and they’ve made what could have been an awful experience, great. Since I first found them based on the reviews I read on Unilocal,I decided to write my own review.

The lady at the front desk was super nice!!! They were able to make my first appointment 10 minutes after I called. John was super nice and very helpful. He gave me stretching tips and advice and he seemed to really listen. This was my first chiropractic experience and I hope I can find someone back in Texas who is just as great :)

Both chiropractors are wonderful, attentive and excellent at their jobs. All the staff from the Front desk to the chiropractors are professional and very lovely to deal with even when you are in extreme amounts of pain. Already set up my next appointment.

Love Dr. Mike and Rotundo! I’ve been going to Hudson Family Chiropractic since 2004 and have switched on/​off to a place closer to my office only to return to Hudson Family Chiropractic. The location isn’t great for me, but the service is top notch! It is a boutique chiropractor office that focuses on getting you better. I have sciatica that flares up a fair amount so I need regular chiropractic care, but they definitely do not make you feel pressured to come back or make you feel that they are just in it for the$$. Instead, they really just care about your recovery and well being.

Awesome team here. I’ve been to several chiropractors over the course of my life for back and hip issues, and these docs are incredible! They’re patient and helpful, easy to talk to, and listen intently.
They are not your crack and whack chiropractors, just the opposite — they stretch you, give you advice on stretching at home, and won’t adjust you unless your body can handle it.
My hips and low back are in far better condition than before I started seeing them, and the HFC docs are keeping me out of a very tough hip surgery by helping me maintain my mobility and keeping my pain down. I started going a couple of days a week, and now I head over for spot treatments, and feel great the minute I leave!
I highly recommend HFC to all of my friends because I truly haven’t had such a wonderful chiropractic experience since my family doctor back in my teens. They’re a great practice, easy to get to in Hoboken, and well worth your time and money!

Mike and John are not only great guys, but great chiropractors! I was experiencing back pain like never before, struggling to just get up out of a chair, and 36 hours after receiving my first ever treatment from Mike, I was able to play a full ice hockey game. It was truly a miracle! I’d recommend these guys to anyone and can’t thank them enough!

I’ve been going to Hudson Family Chiropractic for a month now and have found my new chiropractors. Both John & Mike are great — they take time to listened and diagnose at every appointment whether you’re hurting or just there for a maintenance adjustment. They have great office hours too to accommodate all patients. I would recommend either John or Mike to anyone looking for a chiropractor in the area.

Love both John and Mike and Jonathon (awesome massage therapist!)! Each, has their own style and personality, but experiencing both, for me has only enhanced my experience. I started out going to them 2 – 3 times a week, because I literally could not move!!!, since June. I’ve cut back on my visits both because I was starting to feel better (my pain is rather chronic so I know I will be a lifer in terms of requiring treatment) and, I’m afraid that when my insurance stops covering visits, I’m going to be struggling a bit. But, I had to give them a very deserved shout out! They just don’t adjust you & crack your neck — they really work hard to treat your body’s needs in a very comprehensive and therapeutic manner. I’ve been to my share of chiropractor’s over the years, but I was in such pain, when I first came to see them (hence up to three times a week!) that I could barely walk upright! With their help and visits to their great massage therapist, Jonathon, I am more on the mend than I have been in a long time! I know, in Hoboken, especially for some reason, there are a lot of chiropractors and massage therapists (full disclosure I never tried anyone else in Hoboken) but, I know how it feels to waste your time trying out different people & the frustration you feel, when it’s just not the right «fit» for you. And, I’m pretty sure if John doesn’t work for you Mike will! Or, like me, you’ll find them each, in their own unique way, to be very attuned to your needs. And, the office staff is very nice & helpful — and, I again I also strongly recommend Jonathon as well!

Do not let the pretty basic office set up fool you. These folks are amazing. I have been coming from time to time when I had a back /​neck pain issue. Every time I have been «healed» in just one of two visits. Every time, the staff and the doctors have been amazing. Many chiropractors «crack» you the same way regardless of what you came with. Not these doctors, they really know they stuff. I have come having normal insurance and a high deductible plan. I didn’t even have to negotiate, they offered a very reasonable cash rate right away. You can also easily get in last minute. So don’t suffer through pain hoping it would go away, just go see Dr. Rotundo or Dr. Gazaleh!

I moved here over a year ago and hesitated searching for a new chiropractor. (it’s like finding a new hair stylist for me) I found Hudson, thanks to other reviewers online, and am glad I did.
I go about every other week now (was every week) and I feel a lot less pain that I did. It’s a work in progress, but it’s a nice ride with Hudson.

Fact: I used to wake up unable to move my back.
Fact: Since I’ve had 3 sessions going on 4 with Dr. Gazaleh, I have not had any incidents.
He is a super nice, calming, wry, personable guy. His Zen belies his capability – in a good way.
This place rocks, and I am new believer in chiropractics.

Every so often, my back decides to do this thing where it freaks out and spasms if I try to bend my spine at all. Not too fun. Going to these guys has helped a bunch.
I’ve seen both Dr. Rotundo and Dr. Gazaleh. They’re both friendly and skillful with their adjustments. The session starts with ten minutes on the stim machine (does that thing freak anyone else out? Oh well, it seems to help), followed by some adjustments and stretches. At my last adjustment, Dr. Gazaleh did this crazy neck-​cracking thing that probably would’ve scared any onlookers — whatever it was, I felt a lot better the next day.
The office has been able to offer me a same-​day appointment every time I’ve called. I pay $ 20 per session, so it’s definitely reasonable.
