Align Wellness Center

I cannot thank Dr. Greg and his team enough for the quality of care and compassion they show each and every time I have an appointment. I used to sleep curled up in a fetal position, but due to the work that has been done I am now no longer scrunched up in a ball. I’m laying straighter, standing taller, and feeling better. Two thumbs up from me.

Dr. Gerstin is very rude and unprofessional. I thought he was extremely bizarre when I first met him, and he gave me an uncomfortable vibe. I wouldn’t recommend him to anybody. He’s a liar.

I was in from out of town and I was in a lot of pain. The front desk manager Gloria was very sympathetic and understanding of my situation and got me in right away. I would recommend this chiropractor to any of my family or friends.

I was a patient a number of years ago and still have bad memories of my experience. It seemed like Dr. Gerstein practiced voodoo as opposed to providing a legitimate medical service. He made me hold some supplements and due to the supposed strength it gave me, he diagnosed me with a hiatal hernia and sold me a really expensive bottle of hydrochloric acid. The acid tore my stomach up, and I ended up getting an upper endoscopy done only to find out that I did not have a hiatal hernia, but just plain old GERD. Through my own research I found that Digestive Enzymes were far easier on the gut and produced far better results than anything Dr. G sold me. Hell, I even got worse under his care as evidenced by his «spine scanner»

Dr. Gerstin does a very thorough job explaining his care plan for you and makes sure to answer all of your questions even the quirky ones. His office staff is professional and very courteous. I drive all the way from Chicago up to Northbrook for the care at Align Wellness for my lower back pain. I am a runner and I didn’t know how much proper Chiropractic care was important to my overall well-​being. Dr. Gerstin and his staff go above and beyond to provide great affordable care. I highly recommend them!

I saw Dr. Gerstein regarding a lower back issue. At the time I was uninsured. He told me that the care I would receive there would be affordable. The first visit was. I saw him one more time after that. I then had to go back home (another state). My invoice for a a normally $ 50 treatment was $ 130. I was charged an exorbitant amount. One of those charges was $ 15 dollars for laying an ice pack on my back for ten minutes. I did not buy the ice pack just used it. His other charges were also out of line. I have seen many doctors in the past and never had an issue like this.
I would not trust this Doctor.
This is the second negative review I have ever written.

I went to see Dr. Gerstin after a slip & fall injury in which I hurt my shoulder. He was extremely thorough and gentle. He did a comprehensive examination, and developed an excellent treatment plan. He performed some therapy right away, which brought immediate relief. They were also very willing to work with insurance. Dr. Gerstin is a great listener, extremely knowledgeable and gentle. I would definitely recommend his practice.

I have been having back trouble for over 30 years, so I have seen a number of chiropractors during this time. Dr. Gerstin at Align Wellness is someone I would and have recommended to my family and friends. In addition to helping me with my immediate problems with his adjustments, he also has excellent staff who have helped me to strengthen my core and become more fit. Dr. Gerstin has a very friendly manner and has an extraordinary breath of knowledge. His message staff is fantastic too. Align wellness is my wife’s favorite place for getting messages.

Both my husband and I have been going to Dr. Gerstin. I have been there for one month and my husband for 5. We have both had amazing experiences. Between the massages with Ruby who is EXTREMELY attentive to your needs to Dr. Gerstin who is always catering the adjustments to your needs on that particular day, I have been really satisfied with the care I have received. I had been going to a chiropractor who gave me the same, standard adjustment — no matter what day or what condition my back was in whereas Dr. Gerstin tailors each visit to the parts of my body that need the adjustment. Every time I have gone in for a visit so far, I have felt amazing leaving the office — both mentally and physically. My husband has YET to get sick this winter thanks to the doctor and Ruby. I will definitely be recommending Align to friends!

Had a couple of good massages here, but tried out Dr. Gerstein for chiropractic and I’ll never be going back.
I had bronchitis and developed a knot in my upper right shoulder which I couldn’t get out for the life of me so I decided to try to check out Align to see what they could do. The initial «exam» administered by Dr. Gerstein consisted of rolling some kind of wheel across different parts of my body, followed by the doctor placing his hands on my shoulders to see if one was higher than the other. REALLY SCIENTIFIC STUFF.
This exam cost me about 200 bucks and the kind doctor tried to push me onto a program of two weekly massages and a weekly chiropractic «adjustment.» The adjustment being a couple of cracks in my back and other joints and calling it a day. This program would cost me about 400 bucks a month for a suggested 6 to 8 months, with complimentary emails twice a week reminding me to bring in a friend for a free first exam.
Don’t get me wrong, Dr. Gerstein is a really pleasant fellow. just as long as your wallet is within reach.

Dr. Gregg is amazing and his staff is helping me in get in shape!
