The Center

Excellent Dr and team, he fixed my chronic lower back problem and strengthened the core muscles. very nice and courteous person and nice to work with.
Thank you team

If you want to be bullied into continued treatment and have your «doctor”/patient confidentiality breached than this is the place for you.

TL;DR: this is a great place if you like dishonesty and dodgy behavior.
I went to the Center a while ago, for the purpose of getting a specific oral appliance to help my bite. Unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience.
Noam Sadovnik sold me a different device than the one I explicitly asked for, as though it were the device I asked for. I noticed a large difference in the price I expected, and when I asked him about it he claimed that the two devices were completely equivalent, and brushed off my question in a rude way.
Later, I found out that there are actually many big differences between the device that Noam Sadovnik sold to me and the one I asked him for: the shape and material are both very different. Noam behaved in a fraudulent, unethical way. Further, when I waited for hours to ask him about it in person, he would not spare even one minute of his time between patients to see me.
Go elsewhere unless you are like being cheated out of hundreds of dollars.

Dr. Sadovnik came recommended to me by a friend. There are not enough words to truly express how amazing he is. The experience there has been life-​changing for me. I had thyroid cancer previously and have struggled with extreme fatigue, swollen limbs, muscle pains, migraines, and back problems for years. I have seen so many doctors in the past to no avail. It was getting very difficult to cope with even the basics of my daily activities. Dr. S actually took the time to explain the problems that were causing all of my symptoms. Everything made sense for once and I was relieved to know that it wasn’t all in my mind. Through a series of sessions and physical therapy with Philip Gomez, I started to see improvements for the first time in 7 years! Highly recommended.

I found Dr. Noam Sadnovik through a Groupon. I have seen at least 6 – 8 Chiropractors over the years, bodyworkers, energy healers, physical therapists and do strengthening and pilates — private sessions or on the reformers. Nothing has helped me, which is extremely frustrating since I love to dance and play soccer.
I am visiting from San Francisco, and wasn’t having high expectations for the visit. I was blown away by Dr. S’s knowledge of the fact that certain muscle groups cannot activate if the oppositional muscle cannot relax. He was able to work incredibly deep on me, by just simple movements. His knowledge made me realize how LITTLE many of my practitioners know abut what is going on with me.
I may have finally found something that may work for me. He used some special techniques — really relaxing some muscles before a gentle adjustment. I’ve received too many violent adjustments, and the adjustment falls out, bc they did not work on the musculature.
He was a genius and REALLY sincerely cared about helping me and gave me tips on what to do back in San Francisco.
Next time that I visit NYC I am def. making a few visits with Dr. Noam!

I thought my chiropractor in Scottsdale was fabulous, Actually, I still do. But Dr. Sadovnik in NYC is Skeletal GENIUS. I initially was referred to him for a minor shoulder injury, but decided to continue the treatment i had been receiving for scoliosis impacts with him. He can identify and correct all my points of immediate tenderness and then adjust them. He has me doing some PT as well and within only a few weeks, I am already noticing posture changes, pain reduction, etc. I highly recommend him, just please don’t take my appointments!
Oh and did I mention his office staff also rocks!

I have been going to Dr. Lauren Fries for decompression therapy as well as Michael Grego for medical massages for almost a year now and I am very satisfied with the results that I have been seeing.
I have a herniated disc at L5-​S1 and tried everything from acupuncture, physical therapy, epidural injections and massages to try and alleviate the pain. Nothing worked until I found out about decompression and Dr. Fries.
The staff is knowledgeable, professional and caring. I would highly recommend The Center for any issues that you may be having with your back or neck.
Michael Grego the medical masseuse is also an excellent practitioner and helps relieve my knots and muscle soreness by using trigger point techniques which I find to be very effective.
The office is very clean and welcoming with complimentary herbal tea and water for your pleasure!

I have been going to Dr. Fries for two years or so with really great results.
I first came because I was having serious and concerning loss of height, rather dramatically for my age. I also had a couple of bulging disks and loss of bone which often resulted in massive shooting pain in my lower back.
She’s really great at traditional chiropractic care, such as alignment, but her decompression work is really amazing. The Center has all the right equipment for really intense chiropractic work and that makes all the difference. I have regained the two inches I lost (Really! no exaggeration) plus everything moves so much better. The movement and range of my neck is greatly improved and my yoga practice has benefitted greatly. I just feel better overall.
I had always been skeptical of some of the claims of chiropractic doctors, but I have seen clear benefits while going to The Center. Of course, being consistant and maintaining a good diet is critical as well. Dr. Fries is well versed in holistic care and makes sound recommendations for getting the most out of the work she does.
The office is very pleasant and peaceful. The hot tea is a nice touch. I love going here and look forward to every visit!

Dr Lauren Fries is an amazing chiropractor. I currently live in the Bay Area and have had chronic knee issues for years due to lack of cartilage. I have seen many practitioners for this, but it is always Dr Fries who somehow gets the swelling to go away and gets me back into ballet class. I visited NYC a few weeks ago and my knee was particularly troublesome, causing discomfort when i walked. She worked on me and treated me with laser a couple of times and i saw so much improvement that i managed to get through a 4 day dance workshop including hours of jumps for three of the days. Ok. Not smart for the knee, but i survived and loved it. Life was good. And i am pretty sure that i would not have been able to do it without Dr Fries help. I wish she lived in San Fransisco.

I have been visiting the Dr. Sadovnik for a little over 2 years now and would highly recommend The Center to anyone seeking back pain relief. I came in with crippling lower back pain and after just 2 visits was back to normal. I am so happy I found Dr. Sadovnik and The Center! The atmosphere of his office is very calming and the staff are always so pleasant which makes the whole experience feel more like a trip to the spa than going to the doctor. 5 stars for the friendly and professional ‘bedside manner’ as well!

Dr. Sadovnik has been a life-​saver for my lower back pain. I have had lower back pain off-​and-​on due to spondylothesis since I was 18, and a few years ago, the pain had become unmanageable. As Dr. Sadovnik described it, I basically have a disc in my lower spine that is now drying out. Dr. Sadovnik was able to strengthen the muscles in my back which take significant amounts of pressure off of the area in pain.
I’ve found that the good doc takes a deep interest in finding solutions that work for his patients by listening to their concerns and issues, and he’s not afraid to think outside of the box for solutions. Unlike a lot of doctors, he doesn’t just try to cure the symptoms that we’re experiencing, but he tries to take attack the cause of our pain. While in my case, it’s not possible to fix my back condition, the doctor has made numerous recommendations to lifestyle adjustments that have helped to minimize my pain, keep my back strengthened, which has helped to minimize my visits to every month or two (simple things likes sleeping with a pillow under my leg, adding a back support to my chair, and easy rehab exercises I can do anytime of the day).

This was my first acupuncture experience and it was very enjoyable.
After going off the birth control pill I noticed many unattractive changes in my body. I had heard that acupuncture was the way to go to remedy these problems
I made an appointment with Maya for 45 minute acupuncture and 30 minute massage.
I felt that Maya was a warm person and it was nice to sit and tell her all my medical history. It was like a girls sleep over except we were talking bacne and bowel movements instead of boys .
Those that avoid acupuncture for fear of the needle I can assure you; You can fear no more. There was no pain involved.
Maya was very clear about what was to be expected and the amount of pain involved. I climbed into the heated bed and the procedure was over in no time. I felt the massage was quite a bit under the 30 minute mark and that’s why I can’t shout from the mountain tops how great the experience was. Also I’m not sure how effective it was. It’s been a few weeks but there certainly isn’t any miracles happening as I’d heard other acupuncture lovers claim.
Go here if you want something just short of miraculous.

Last month I was in a bike accident (I was on a bicycle, not a beefy motorcycle) and I finally accepted that my pain was not going to «go away on its own». I feel like the ‘wait and see’ method worked a lot more often when I was in my twenties, but, alas, those days are gone and I now have to take bodily injury more seriously.
First and foremost, these guys take the no-​fault insurance provided by the guy that hit me. This in itself is awesome, and then thrown on top of great care, I am incredibly relieved I found this place.
Dr. Fries is personable, intelligent, and great at breaking down her process step by step. Sure I was mildly alarmed when she strapped my appendages down (I watch A LOT of horror films) but everything seems to be working. I am so grateful I found a place that believes in total body healing.
Great energy at this place!

Excellent service in an open and airy Garment District loft. I received an adjustment and Swedish Massage, and my mouse-​clicking-​related back pain is significantly improved and I feel great. A Very relaxing and renewing experience, Dr. Fries was professional and highly skilled. H
Highly recommended.
Note: I updated the stars of this review from 4 to 5 the day after my treatment. Right after, I still felt some stiffness in the mouse-​clicking-​related back pain I suffer from. Today it is completely gone. This is the second time I’ve been to a chiropractor for this pain and both times I have received more relief on the second day, so now I know to expect that.

Dr. Fries is really excellent. I went here via a groupbuying site and am so glad I participated. Dr. Fries is attentive and knowledgeable and even in our 30 minute slot was able to help minimize my pain and give me tips on how to keep myself in alignment.
