    About

    After witnessing what chiropractic can do, from restoring health with minor to major health issues and improving overall health, Dr. Suh found his calling in life. With passion and vigor as an advocate for chiropractic as a solution for many health issues, Dr. Suh graduated from New York Chiropractic College with numerous accolades including Dean's List, and membership in the Phi Chi Omega chiropractic honor society. Dr. Suh has completed 450+ hours of post-graduate Gonstead training and has over 15 years of clinical practice, guiding thousands of patients to optimal spinal health and witnessing remarkable recoveries from complex conditions. Throughout his years of experience treating complex spinal conditions in Manhattan, he has found that the Gonstead Method consistently delivers superior results compared to traditional chiropractic approaches. Committed to be the best chiropractor in NYC, Dr. Suh took upon himself to learn one of the most difficult and effective chiropractic methods in the profession, the world renowned Gonstead Method of Chiropractic. Dr. Suh has invested more than 450 hours of Post Graduate studies learning the Gonstead method. Recognizing his dedication to his field he was also awarded the Appreciation for Outstanding Devotion to NYCC Gonstead Club. Dr. Suh further dedicated himself to the Gonstead method by learning from one of the best Gonstead Chiropractor in the entire world, Dr. Drucilla Estey (R.I.P. 2020). She was one of the rare few who thoroughly understood spinal biomechanics where she was able to analyze x-rays over the telephone. Like a Chess Grandmaster, she was able to see how the spine reacts 10 moves ahead. Volunteering his time, he learned under her tutelage on how to deal with complex challenging health cases. Dr. Estey nourished Dr. Suh's gift for out of the box thinking and seeing the spine in 3D. She passed down her knowledge on Gonstead spinal biomechanics where Dr. Suh can see 5-8 moves ahead. In April 2018, Dr. Suh became a Gonstead Diplomate, joining only 60 people in the entire world who underwent rigorous testing to certify their knowledge and expertise in the Gonstead Method. His expertise has attracted patients from around the world who travel to New York specifically to receive his care.

He regularly provides hands-on training, demonstrating his adjustment methods and sharing his deep understanding of spinal biomechanics with fellow practitioners seeking to improve their skills.
