"I have been a patient of Dr. Hecht for over 20 years and find him to be a skillful and knowledgeable chiropractor. He is an excellent listener, a gifted diagnostician, and a compassionate practitioner. In addition to his traditional chiropractic training, Dr. Hecht utilizes deep tissue massage, herbal medicine, and laser technology. I appreciate his caring and authenticity. He is a gem."

"Steven always finds a magical way to treat my knots and pains; I invariably leave his office far more comfortable than when I entered. By showing me imaginative strengthening and healing exercises I can use at home, Steve works to reduce the number of times I have to come to him for treatment. When I first asked Steve for help, I was seeing him once a week; now, I need a tune-up every two months. Not bad for a 75-year-old! Thanks, Steven!"

"Steven is the chiropractor I’d been looking for. He carefully assesses and pinpoints where the pain is and what is causing it. He then administers a variety of modalities, all of which work synergistically. After doing his recommended excercises, I’m able to gradually strengthen my weak points and carry on with my life pain-free. Steve offers understanding, expertise, and healing. Why would I go to anyone else?"

"I have found Dr. Hecht very knowledgeable and helpful in treating various pains and aches over the decades. He is very quick to analyze an issue and provide immediate relief. He is also very instructive in outlining at an home exercise program to minimize or eliminate future visits."

“For two years prior to last spring, I have suffered from severe neck pain despite numerous approaches by therapists and physicians. Last April I was urged by my personal trainer to see Dr. Hecht. My pain has eased substantially. Futhermore, I find Dr. Hecht compassionate and very professional. I whole-heartedly recommend him.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Hecht on and off for nearly 15 years. I first contacted Steve about 15 years ago regarding a back problem that I was having. I had significant discomfort and had been getting epidural shots at a pain clinic for the pain. My first visit with Dr. Hecht turned out exactly how I had hoped for. After Steve performed his examination of my condition he said, with confidence, that he could help me with my discomfort. I started to see Dr. Hecht twice a week. After the first few weeks my discomfort had improved significantly.
Several weeks later I was virtually cured of all the pain that I had been experiencing for over a year. Dr Hecht succeeded in treating my problem where other practitioners failed. I am so pleased with Dr. Hecht’s treatments that my whole family now goes to him when anyone experiences any sort of muscle related discomfort. During a single visit, Dr Hecht uses a number of different modalities for treatment on his patients. He uses a common sense and thoughtful approach to diagnosing what is at the root of the pain. I am so grateful to be able to turn to someone like Dr. Hecht when the need arises.”

“Dr. Hecht is by far the best chiropractor I have ever been treated by. His holistic approach truly makes the difference; not just treating symptoms (over and over again), but identifying and explaining the issue, providing at home stretches and exercises, as well as relieving the symptoms.”

I consider him a friend as well as a Doctor and have recommended him to all my friends.”

“I am an active 74 year old and I periodically get myself into muscular/skeletal problems. Dr. Hecht has helped me to stay active with his chiropractic care. He puts me back together so that I can remain active and healthy. Dr. Hecht has treated me for the last 10 years and he always fixes me so that I can get back in the game of living.”

“I am an active, healthy person with a well balanced diet. Even so I suffered from spastic muscle cramps in my feet, toes, calves and back. I tried several diet alterations to no avail. Dr Steven Hecht put me on extra magnesium supplements and I am cramp free. I have continued to increase the supplement dose as my body regulates to it and have had no recurrence of cramping; plus I get the added benefit of ‘regularity’ from the ‘Pure Encapsulations’ magnesium. Thanks Steven, for balanced health.”

"My husband and I have been under Dr. Hecht’s chiropractic care for over twenty years. We have continued to use his services because of his skill, knowledge, compassion, and sense of humor. He has treated us over the years for a variety of conditions including many back spasms, migraines, and a variety of sports injuries to almost every limb and major joint.
Dr. Hecht studies continuously and he incorporates his learning into his holistic health practice. One example of his approach was the introduction of low-level lasers in the treatment of injuries. We regularly benefit from the innovations Dr. Hecht incorporates into his practice.
We have wholeheartedly recommended Dr. Hecht’s services to many people and will continue to do so. Doctor Hecht is a treasure."
