Anthony Salzarulo, DC PC

Dr. Salzarulo is a very patient man with a great approach to healing from the inside out. He helped me relieve my bouts of skin disorders. there were a few, each triggered by something different. by assessing my food diary and testing my reactions to herbs and supplements, he was able to create a really helpful dietary plan for me. Since I have been going to him, I feel very new.
For those going holistic the first time, Dr. Salzarulo is so knowledgable and kind that he doesnt judge you or overload you with information. He is very attentive to my issues and answers my in-​between-​visits emails promptly. He is here for the long haul and he wants all of us to be, too.
Great man, warm personality. And his care is extremely affordable!

I have been going to Dr. Salzarulo for a chronic spasm that has been occurring for some time. He has helped me to understand the root of these symptoms and heal through a homeopathic program consisting of natural remedies and supplements. I have been following his recommended program for the past few months and my symptoms now rarely occur. It happens so infrequently that I experience less worry of them occurring and feel more at ease all around. I feel confident and in control of my balance of health and nutrition in my life, and I have never felt better!

At 53 years old, I know the body does NOT lie! I was both horrified and deeply concerned to wake up to what felt like a pebble at the base of my index finger, beneath the skin. The medical dr. diagnosed it as a tendon sheath cyst — and though he said it was likely not serious, he had ZERO idea what to do about it except of course, go to another Dr… So knowing Dr. Salzarulo for almost 8 years and knowing that he can fix just about EVERYTHING — I went to see him. He gave me 2 homeopathic remedies which I diligently took and massaged the cyst with castor oil as often as I could remember. I was AMAZED just 3 weeks later in the shower when I realized the cyst or tumor was completely gone. I am a person of prayer and faith but I know that God leads us to extraordinary wisdom and people who know how to help heal the body. That one is Dr. Salzarulo. I am so excited I am still singing and dancing. This is truly a naturopathic Genius. Thank you Dr. S!

Visiting Dr. Sal for the first time in 2012 changed my life around completely. I never even knew what was wrong with me until having my first sit down with him. Other doctors would only prescribe antibiotics and tell me to change one or two things around in my diet. Dr. Sal got to the root of the issue and did so without pharmaceutical drugs. The results I got from adhering to Dr. Sal’s diet plans, remedies and supplements exceeded my wildest expectations and I recommend him to anyone who’s serious about their health.

my whole life doctors have prescribed me medicines for my asthma that has destroyed my immune system and only covered up the symptoms and created more problems, never curing a thing.
Dr Salzarullo has been helping me understand and treat my problems with natural remedies over the last year. I’ve made significant progress and have never felt better. I’m very grateful for the direction he’s given me to better health.

Last year I had two gallbladder attacks within two weeks. The ultrasound showed that my gallbladder was full of sludge. The two specialists I saw told me that sludge (and gallstones) don’t go away and that one is always at risk of another attack and related complications. They recommended I get the organ surgically removed to be on the safe side. Because I didn’t want to have surgery, I researched alternatives and found Dr Salzarulo. He told me that contrary to what conventional medicine textbooks say, sludge could be treated effectively. Nine months and several visits later, my ultrasound shows no more sludge, and just a few stones like most people would have. I haven’t had another gallbladder attack and am glad I didn’t have surgery.

Before seeing Dr. Salzarulo I was out of touch with my body, physically and mentally. I experienced many symptoms for years, like persistent digestive discomfort, poor sleep, female problems, and periods of depression, but I never thought of these issues as symptoms and I neglected them. Dr. Salzarulo has educated me to be aware of these issues as symptoms and how to resolve them by giving me a greater knowledge of nutrition and how to live a healthier lifestyle overall. He has introduced to me to so many wonderful practices, like meditation, body brushing, and simple compassion. I feel healthier than I ever have in every aspect of my life. I highly recommend going to Dr. Salzarulo.

He’s fantastic! I’ve been to other naturopaths before, but he is better because he can determine exactly what’s wrong, through muscle testing (applied kinesiology) and iridiology. he is very experienced and knowledgeable about herbs, energetic remedies, vitamins, supplements, food, lifestyle. and he is the only person I’ve found who can bridge the gap between the spiritual and physical worlds, ie. how spiritual issues/​evolvement affect the physical body, and exactly what to do about it.
Highly recommended!

I’m so grateful I found Dr. Salzarulo. About a year ago, I had many different health ailments hitting me all at once: digestion problems, female problems that my gynecologist could never help me with & that prescription drugs never helped, headaches, body aches you name it and I felt in a very dark place. All of my previous gynecologists/​medical doctors all threw medicine my way if I told them of a problem — or they just told me I was really healthy when I didn’t feel that way at all! Internet searches for my symptoms turned up completely varying suggestions of what I should be eating or doing and I felt so lost.
Enter Dr. Salzarulo, as soon as I told him my symptoms he understood right away — I felt listened to, understood, I really felt the compassion he had for me and where I was at. He showed me how to change my diet and gave me NATURAL supplements to support cleansing my body of all the toxic things that have gunked it up over time that were wreaking havoc (ie: antibiotics!) He really explained what and why this was happening with my body. And he didn’t prescribe me any prescription medicine! This is the most natural way — the ONLY way to heal your body. It has been a year since changing my diet and seeing Dr Salzarulo for the first time and I feel completely different, like a whole new person! I can feel body healing, I feel healthier, happier, more grounded. Dr. Salzarulo also provides the most important part to making a big life change like this — SUPPORT and ACCOUNTABILITY. He checks in on you and I really feel that he is rooting for me, keeping me grounded and checked into how important my health is to my whole entire life. I’m so grateful for Dr. Salzarulo — I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

I agree with some of the other commenters who said that their first initial visit was great and that Dr. Salzarulo was very supportive. Afterwards, when I had some questions and concerns, he responded with a lot less patience and understanding. I decided not to follow-​up and felt disappointed over-​all.

«About a year ago, after a yearly medical exam, my doctor told me that my cholesterol was too high, registering at 230, and wrote me a prescription for Lipitor. I was somewhat alarmed at the number in question and with extreme trepidation had the prescription filled. I actually took one pill but shared my fears about taking the drug, and its side effects, with a friend of mine. She suggested that I contact Dr. Anthony Salzarulo, an experienced Holistic Chiropractor, before I continue with the medicine.
As it turned out, it was the very best decision I could possibly have made. After speaking with Dr. Salzarulo, he suggested that with a moderate change of diet, along with natural supplements he recommended, I very likely could get the desired results without taking Lipitor.
As it turned out, it was one of the best decisions I could have possibly made. Within 3 months my numbers went down to 180 and have continued to decline since. I am still taking some supplements and my diet is definitely healthier but it was Dr. Salzarulo who steered me on the healthier and wiser path»

I’ve been seeing Dr. Salzarulo for over 2 years now, and the results have been remarkable! I first consulted with Dr. Salzarulo while experience Multiple Sclerosis (MS)-related symptoms. I’d been diagnosed with this ‘illness’ a few years before this, but was adamant about not using traditional ‘treatment’. From the very first visit and for every visit thereafter, Dr. Salzarulo has demonstrated that he is extremely knowledgeable about the illness, the related symptoms, and the appropriate remedies. In addition, he displays a genuine interest and concern for your healing and well-​being. Once my situation was assessed, a personalized program was created for me.
Dr. Salzarulo has always been a source encouragement when I’ve needed it. And this, along with following my program has enabled me to regain and maintain vibrant health. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Salzarulo for whatever ails you!

I highly recommend Dr. Salzarulo. I had seen about a dozen doctors about my health. I had also tried a lot of alternative treatments with little success. Dr. Salzarulo was the first person who heard my story and said he got it. He was confident that he could treat. That in itself was a huge thing, especially since most doctors (ok, all) just looked at me and said they didn’t get it. I had done a lot of different tests (biopsy, blood, dna, colonoscopy, endoscopy, bacterial, fungal, hormone… they even though my immune system might be compromised due to pesticide exposure at one point, you get it) and none of the results added up to anything. I tried all types of medications and then dealt with the side effects and little relief. All in all, well, it sucked.
Dr. Salzarulo was confident in treating me and looked at all the areas of my life. He gave me a new diet to follow, and supplements, and I got better. I still get sick sometimes, but now my body heals itself in a day or two, instead of getting progressively worse. I’m very grateful to Dr. Salzarulo for his wisdom and guidance. It has made a huge difference in my life.
(note to potential patients… his programs are not easy. But if you are serious about your health, and hopefully have some patient and understanding people in your life who are willing to be supportive, it’s worth it.)

Dr. Salzarulo has helped me more than any other doctor (conventional or otherwise) who has ever treated me. First off, let me point out that holistic medicine isn’t always the best path for everyone so it’s important that you educate yourself before making a decision. To put it simply, as wonderful as Dr. S. is, he may not be the best fit for you.
So a little about me… I have been struggling with adrenal fatigue ever since my battle with childhood cancer (about 15 years ago). Thankfully, I am still cancer free years later but the chemotherapy strongly impacted my body and left me with a range of permanent side-​effects (one being severe hearing loss). I came to see Dr. S. specifically to work on my chronic fatigue issues (I did not know my adrenals were burnt out at the time).
The first visit is where Dr. S. performs extensive tests and in depth history to determine the underlying cause of your condition. One of the processes he uses is called organ stress testing which I was initially skeptical of. He discovered that I may have gluten allergy (in addition to adrenal fatigue), which made no sense to me because I never had overt symptoms. We both decided it would be best to follow up with a blood and saliva test and I was shocked when the saliva test confirmed his findings.
Just to clarify, Dr. S. does not have anyone on staff to draw blood. He, just like most conventional doctors, will refer you out to a lab if you require blood work which I assume won’t always be necessary. I personally feel more comfortable doing as much testing as possible before starting on a course of treatment.
The treatment for my condition consisted of dietary and lifestyle recommendation, homeopathic remedies and nutritional supplements. Dr S. mentioned to me on the first visit that it takes COURAGE to work towards optimal health. This is because almost all diseases are the result of a POOR LIFESTYLE. Let’s face it, most new Yorkers are over-​worked, get very little sleep, eat a crap diet, are exposed to huge amounts of toxins and do next to nothing to reduce our stress levels. But then we act surprised when our organs start to shut down and disease appears.
As far as pricing goes, some people who are used to paying nothing but $ 20 copay when seeing a physician might be taken aback at his prices. But try going to a medical doctor without insurance and you will find Dr. S. incredibly cheap by comparison. However, you should know that he does not accept insurance so be ready to pay out of pocket for his services.
So to wrap this up, if you are looking to be prescribed pharmaceutical drugs that will cover up your symptoms instead of treating the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your systems, then a holistic doctor is not for you. If you have a serious condition that needs to be treated IMMEDIATELY then run, don’t walk, to a conventional medical practitioner. But if you are tired of dealing with your chronic health condition, have no desire to subject yourself to a lifetime of pharmaceuticals (and their inevitable side-​effects) and are willing to be courageous enough to work on changing your lifestyle over time to PERMANENTLY CURE your condition, then a holistic approach will most likely benefit you in ways you can’t even imagine. Based on my personal experience, I highly recommend Dr. Salzarulo. I’ll always be extremely grateful to him for the many changes (and incredibly level of healing) he’s helped me facilitate.

First visit: compassionate and supportive.
Next two visits: A major rush job. Guess he was overbooked. Ended up being moved out to the receptionist for further explanation of some of his seemingly random suggestions, along with numerous hand outs to read. Pity he did not want to take a few extra minutes to offer quality care.
Go elsewhere.

I recently went to Dr. Salzarulo to treat an ongoing infection with my eye. None of the traditional doctors that I visited before going to him could help me and after 5 months of taking different prescription medications my eye was no better off than when I started.
When I decided to go see Dr. Salzarulo, he was able to immediately sit me down and explain exactly what was happening with my eye in a way that made perfect sense to me. He then gave me a few homeopathic remedies to take. Now after only a few weeks the puffiness in my eye is gone and barely noticeable. My eye also feels MUCH better. I’m VERY happy with these results and feel like I now have an amazing resource in Dr Salzarulo for any health issues that may come up.
I should note that I also recommended my mother to Dr. Salzarulo after she had similar frustrations with the treatment that her GI doctor was giving her after being diagnosed with diverticulosis. She went to Dr. Salzarulo on my recommendation and in only a few weeks she told me that she was feeling better than she had in years! She said that she is so thankful to have found Dr. Salzarulo and has the most HOPE for a healthy future than ever before.
Bottom line: I can’t recommend Dr. Salzarulo enough. He is truly a rare find and worth a shot if you’re committed to prolonged health.

Dr Salzarulo continues to provide me with the most helpful healing remedies and sound advice on how I can build a healthy immune system. He is committed to helping me achieve an optimum level of health.

Dr. Salzarulo is a gentle healer. He has helped me address long-​term medical conditions by leading me make healthy choices and changes. He is interested in the whole person, from your diet to your spirit, and he helps you make gradual healthy changes that can improve problems without heavy medications. I feel very lucky to have found him and believe that by working with him I have entered a great adventure.

I visited Dr. Salzarulo and he looked into my eyes to examine my iris. He also pressed on my stomach to make some kind of assessment about my organs. I came back for a follow up visit to get his ‘results’. The results were a hand out where he just filled in the blanks that my problem was with my colon and liver. It really wasn’t a surprise diagnosis because that’s where almost every problem originates — in either the colon, liver, or intestines. The handout had several pages attached which described his plan for getting better. The last page had the price of his services, broken down as follows:
STEP 1: 4 office visits (one per week). During this step you are given your supplements. Not quite sure why you have to come back each week for this.
STEP 2: 4 visits (one every other week) followed by 2 visits (one every three weeks). This is to see how the body is responding to the program and to determine if any changes in supplements need to be made.
Total number of visits: 10
The initial consultation was $ 160. Follow up visits are $ 80 each. So for the 10 visits listed above, it would cost $ 800 (excluding the initial consultation). This also excludes the cost of supplements which should be factored in.
He offers a prepayment plan where you would get a 15% discount if you pay for your ten follow up visits in advance. Therefore, you would pay $ 680 instead of $ 800.
Adolescents (age 12 – 17) may qualify for a 25% discount from the adult rate and children (age 11 and under) may qualify for a 35% reduction from the adult rate.
He gave me a ton of handouts without discussing them with me. He then came up with a list of supplements I should take. I bought them and took them but they didn’t help my condition. I didn’t like the fact that he didn’t customize a nutritional plan for me, but instead I had to put one together for myself based on his handouts. I kinda wanted more individualized attention.
Lastly, he doesn’t talk very much. Would be nice to get some answers and not just handouts, supplements, and the bill.
He seemed really pressed to get me to commit to coming in weekly. I don’t like that pressure. Felt like I was signing up for a gym membership.
Dr. Salzarulo may be able to help you with your condition. Who knows. I decided instead to seek the attention of a medical doctor who also has an extensive background in naturopathic medicine. There’s only so much that a naturopathic doctor can do sometimes to help your condition. Dr. Salzarulo isn’t a medical doctor and doesn’t draw blood so he couldn’t give me as accurate of an assessment of my health. Giving him 3 stars because maybe he can help you even though he wasn’t able to help me.
