Seven years ago, 2019, I fell and had a concussion. I experienced migraines, nausea, and dizziness that turned my life upside down. Thankfully, since 2015, I was already a patient of Dr. Rob. He listened through my many tears, frustrations, and fears numerous times always with deep compassion and understanding. Knowing Dr. Rob's extensive knowledge and years of experience, he developed a treatment plan that addressed my physical and emotional needs that helped build my life back. It was a slow process and he was there every step of the way. Now fast forward to today, 2026, I could not imagine what it would have been like had I not have Dr. Rob to help me through this. The ongoing continuous care and maintenance he provides for me and all his patients are priceless!! It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Dr Rob and the genuine care he and his staff provide to all his patients. You truly are treated like family. Dr. Rob is the very best!!!!! Dr. Rob deserves 10++++++++++++++++++ Barbara L

I have been going to Dr. Rob for 11 years. My son is a chiropractor in Georgia, and he had recommended Dr. Rob. Fabulous choice. I live in Commack and I drive myself and my wife to Bellmore every week. There are a lot of chiropractors between Commack and Bellmore. But none as great as Dr. Rob. I am 76 years old. My back is stronger now than it was at 40 years old. Dr. Rob is amazing. He listens to you. He is compassionate and cares about all his patients. The office staff is wonderful. Rhonda, Ellie, and Kaylie are superb. If you need chiropractic care, Dr. Rob has my highest recommendation. 10++++ stars.
