Dr. Robert F. Gucciardo, DC

Howard Beach Upper Cervical Chiropractic Specialist

Dr. Gucciardo was born and raised in Queens, NY. He attended Archbishop Molloy Highschool where he played baseball and then went to Pace University in Pleasantville, New York to continue playing baseball at the Division 1 level and graduated from The Lubin School of Business with a BBA degree. In early childhood he had watched his brother receive chiropractic care from a local chiropractor because he was diagnosed with scoliosis in his early teen years. While receiving care, his brother also had other health benefits that amazed Dr. Gucciardo. Then one day while playing basketball at age 11, Dr. Gucciardo fell and injured his hip and lower back. He was checked out by the same chiropractor his brother was receiving care from. Some adjustments were made and things improved.

Dr. Gucciardo also noticed that shortly after the adjustments the problem of bed wetting that had been plaguing him and causing him much embarrassment started to go away. Then in high school a chiropractor came to the school on career day and spoke about being a chiropractor and had information to hand out about Chiropractic school.

Dr. Gucciardo was interested in chiropractic and having a desire to help people, however he was side tracked by going off to college to play baseball. Once completing his BBA degree at Pace University he was going to pursue law and sat for the LSAT exam. The same day that he took that exam he went home and cleaned out his closet and found the Chiropractic college information he received back in high school and that Monday he began calling chiropractors to find out which was the best school to attend to be a chiropractor. He knew that he wanted to help people to improve their health naturally without the need for drugs or surgery. He never looked at his LSAT scores and 3 months later he was down in Georgia pursuing all the science prerequisites so he could begin Chiropractic College.

Upon graduation Dr. Gucciardo was in the top 5% of his class and returned to New York and opened up his private practice. 26 years later Dr. Gucciardo has traveled the world teaching chiropractic, caring for more than 20,000 patients here and abroad on various mission trips and still has the passion to see people regain and maintain there healthy naturally.

Dear Dr.Rob,

Throughout my many years of being under Nutrition Response Testing as well as Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care I have learned so much from you and I can truly vouch on how amazing these two work together. I have come to learn that the body works in amazing ways and with proper nutrition, chiropractic and lifestyle changes, your body can heal itself.

I first became a patient in December 2011, at the age of 21. I was feeling things I didn't understand. I was feeling anxiety, palpitations, dizziness, I was at my heaviest weight. I felt like my world was coming to an end and that I would collapse at any point. Little did I know that what I was feeding my body was hurting me. As well as learning that the body's lack of alignment can decrease nerve and blood flow throughout the body. Of course I also found an answer for my headaches as well which I didn't mention above was also one of my biggest nightmares. I had frequent headaches. Perhaps four times through out the week, one day of the week the headache would be so so bad, to the point that I would just lay in the dark without wanting to hear anything or anyone or see anything or anyone. Thanks to your very close attention to my health we were able to get a handle on the situation, little by little I started feeling like I could breath again, live again, and feel my age.

The journey does not end there. I became a problem child (haha)! I remember one day coming to work feeling like I was about to get a heart attack. What do I know about heart attack? My chest was hurting, I felt sharp pains, I couldn't breath. I couldn't sleep. My Lord! I just didn't know what to do at this point with myself but once again thanks to you, we were able to find that there was a bacteria causing all this. It was so scary! I didn't know anyone in my age group to be experiencing all these things. I mean this stuff really works! It works so well that I consider this to be my hospital and my primary doctor. When I don't feel good, automatically I get checked spine and nutrition program checked. I am also at my lowest weight because of your recommendations on eating as well as your encouragement. You also provided me with recipes that can be easy and fun to put together. You can have fun and eat well!

I just have to express my gratitude. I can trust that these two programs work and that I feel better at the age of 26 then I ever have felt before. I am so blessed to be a testimony and even more blessed that I get to assist our patients to get well, committing and becoming a testimony like myself. I have learned so much & can share day in and day out with patients, friends, and family.

Once again thank you so much Dr.Rob! With knowledge I was able to take responsibility and have control on my own health with proper eating, nutritional whole food supplements and chiropractic adjustments.

With love,
Elaine
