Why People Make the Drive
Bay Shore is one of the longer drives in our service area, and plenty of people reasonably choose a practice close to home. The reasons to come this way are specific: an examination aimed at why a problem keeps returning, 30 years of experience with one doctor, or SoftWave therapy, which not every office offers. A second opinion is not a commitment.
Hours for a Longer Trip
Late-afternoon hours run 3:30 to 6:30 PM on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Morning hours are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 9 to 11 AM and Friday 8 to 11 AM. The office is closed Saturday and Sunday, and phones are answered 24/7/365 at (631) 321-5400. If you are driving in from Bay Shore, call first and the front desk will find a time that makes the trip worthwhile.
Care Available Here
Care is hands-on and drug-free: full spine chiropractic, upper cervical specific technique for people who prefer a gentler approach, sports injury and auto accident care, and SoftWave therapy, which the office offers as SoftWave Suffolk. Dr. Hansen finds the cause first, explains it in plain language, and builds a plan around it. See the full list of conditions we treat, or read what patients say.
