I suffered from severe Migraine headaches that no medication was helping. At that time, my brother started treating me with Chiropractic Care. Since that time, my migraine headaches have been nothing but a distant memory. I have proudly relieved patients from multitudes of symptoms for over 40 years. Initially practicing in Holbrook and Medford, in January 2000, I decided to practice with my brother Keith. Since then, just like during our childhood, we have been pushing each other to give patients the best Chiropractic offers. I am highly confident in the benefits of Chiropractic. My wife, my daughter, and my son are on Chiropractic wellness plans to continue to feel the best we possibly can.

“I discovered Chiropractic when my sister was diagnosed with severe scoliosis and was told she needed to wear a back brace 22 hours a day. Her back pain was indescribable, and she needed a pain relief that was natural and did not involve medication. Chiropractic allowed her to have a normal childhood, pain-free and happy. Seeing how this changed her life made me want to do this for as many people as possible.”
Dr. Jamie Wentz graduated from New York Chiropractic College with a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Masters of Clinical Nutrition in December 2020. She graduated as the Senior Clerk of her clinic experience and received the Phillip G. Striano Memorial Alumni Award.
She has an Advanced Certificate in Sport Science and Human Performance, which she plans to utilize to treat her patients further. Dr. Wentz also graduated from Adelphi University in May 2017 with a Bachelor’s in Biology. Dr. Wentz is a Long Island native excited to help her patients relieve pain, rehabilitate, and increase movement through holistic care. You will find her on the beach or walking her dog Pedro when she is not treating patients.”
