An orthopedist misdiagnosed my hip pain as a lower-back injury, and I spent 18 months in physical therapy chasing the wrong thing. Within minutes of my first visit, Dr. Schram found the real source just by listening and pressing the right spot. Seven or eight sessions later the pain was essentially gone.Jon S. · Melville, NY
★★★★★
Every craft has its technicians and its artists. Dr. Schram has both the technical knowledge and the sensitivity, built over decades of practice. Honestly, I think he's a magician. I've walked in bound by pain and left feeling better than I had in months.Todd S. · Long Island City, NY
★★★★★
The most intuitive and effective chiropractor I've ever known. He often understands what my adjustment needs are before I say a word. Gentle, comforting, and genuinely wise. I always leave feeling stronger and brighter in my body.Michael H. · Austin, TX
★★★★★
After a diagnosis of degenerative cervical discs and two months of physical therapy that didn't help, three acupuncture sessions with Dr. Schram finally brought relief. A true healer and an excellent diagnostician, with a skilled, caring staff around him.Suzanne F. · New York, NY · patient of 25+ years
★★★★★
A colleague sent me to Dr. Schram because of my frequent migraines. Within a few weeks they were less intense and shorter. Visits are quick, he never overbooks, and I no longer live in fear of the next migraine.Hope Z. · Manhattan, NY
★★★★★
He's not a back cracker. He's an intuitive healer. My husband hurt his back lifting a suitcase on our NYC trip, and Dr. Schram saw him first thing the next morning. Each day he improved, and he left the city walking upright with a spring in his step.Carol L. · Chicago, IL
★★★★★
What I appreciate is the efficiency. Dr. Schram zeroed in on the source of my back pain and I left the office almost completely better. No attempt to milk extra visits out of it, just effective treatment. Highly, highly recommended.Gabe M. · New York, NY
★★★★★
A course of acupuncture with Dr. Schram quickly resolved my insomnia and brought my energy back. I never have to wait to see him, and I've since referred friends and family. All of them saw results.Matt B. · New York, NY
★★★★★
My neck pain melted away within 24 hours of my first visit. He found the spot in minutes. He's also helping with a rare pain behind my ears that a dozen other doctors couldn't explain. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always available.Melanie R. · Astoria, NY
★★★★★
I've had lower-back problems for 32 years from an old hockey injury and have tried everything: manipulation, prolotherapy, physical therapy. Dr. Schram told me right away what the issue was and treated it. No one has ever addressed it like this.Brett O. · Manhattan, NY
★★★★★
Highly intelligent, intuitive, and caring, and a gifted healer. As both a chiropractor and acupuncturist, he's got you covered in more than one way. Going to him feels like being with a family member who supports you.Ellen S. · Oakland, CA
★★★★★
He won't tell you Western medicine is terrible. He encourages you to try different things and is never forceful. He even gently introduced me to acupuncture after I'd had bad experiences elsewhere. Smart, skilled, and many approaches in one place.Joshua A. · New York, NY
★★★★★
A friend called him “the man with the golden hands,” and after four years as his patient I understand why. His office is calm and well run, he's available on short notice, and it's amazing what he can do in just a few minutes.Lorraine K. · Manhattan, NY
★★★★★
I'm a professional circus artist and I've seen Dr. Schram for over ten years. However I hurt myself (lower back, jammed wrist, exhaustion, sinus problems), he fixes the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.Mike H. · Brooklyn, NY
★★★★★
Before making any adjustment, he showed me in a book exactly where the misalignment was. Being treated with intelligence and dignity, feeling like a peer in my own recovery, meant a great deal. The quality of attention was curious, steady, and confident. I left feeling more capable of participating in what was happening in my body.Patient letter · 2026
★★★★★
After an adjustment he asked whether I felt better or worse. The question made me realize I couldn't access how I felt in my own body. He offered a direction I still use: move away from pain. His answers about mind and body hit with clarity, and gave me curiosity and agency instead of fear.Patient letter · 2026
