"Prior to the pandemic, I was experiencing dizziness and imbalance. An appointment with my ENT physician resulted in my condition diagnosed as 'Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo'. The doctor gave me a script for physical therapy to help with this condition. This recommended therapy introduced me to Gregory Parfianowicz. I was 86 years old at this time. Under Gregory's insightfulness and instructions for exercise, along with his compassion, I was brought into stability, flexibility of muscle coordination guidance, improved posture and clarity of al my body's abilities. I experienced a sense of 'dancing again'... being back into Arthur Murray's Dance Lessons.

Now at 88 years old, when my chronic issues arise, reviewing his instructions returns me to flexibility and a stability of posture carriage. Once again, I am expressing a sense of wellness and confidence especially when asked "how are you?". My enthusiastic response is "I am well"!

My gratitude to Gregory for his talented insights in revealing the necessary structure/ pathways I needed to strengthen my abilities. His guidance expanded and enhanced my capabilities to focus my energies resulting in efforts to continue the active participation in living life as fully as possible.

During the pandemic, Gregory was the instrumental choreographer in my recovery.

His insights, instructions, exercise incorporating my whole body. Al systems regain muscle flexibility, sharpened focus, awareness of my capabilities to the point that "I cannot use my age as an excuse for not being mobile and actively living life to the fullest"!

"I have been working with Gregory for 3 years now and I can only say that he has significantly changed my life for the better. I came to him with persistent eye-pain and headaches, an inability of my eyes to diverge and this overall feeling of being posturally twisted and imbalanced. We initially worked on eye-mind-body coordination which steadily paid dividends as eye/head-aches considerably diminished, leading to an improved ability to focus and absorb information in a scientific research job with high mental demands. We progressively transitioned to incorporate postural work, closely tied with breathing exercises, where Gregory progressively taught me to develop a better sense of my body, in a progression of layers, and the connection between my head/neck, spine and point of contact of my feet with the ground. Gregory's exercises effectively teach my body to restructure/reposition itself in a more natural fashion, enabling a more natural posture for me. My body feels significantly untwisted and a lot more centered and grounded, with greater openness in my skull/neck area, linked to an improved ability of the eyes to diverge and enabling more robust spatial awareness. All this has led me to be a lot more functional and durable in my every day existence and its challenges, at either work or home (with young children).

What I hugely appreciate about Gregory, as we continue to work together, is the rapport we've built. He's incredibly open to my observations which he carefully takes into account when considering the next step forward for me during my appointments with him. Beyond his impressive knowledge and constant thrust for renewal, he cares and connects with his patients as a practitioner in a very unique and human way. I'm grateful to know Gregory and massively appreciate how much he has improved the quality of my everyday life".

"I have been taking my wife to see Gregory for about 3 years now. She suffered a stroke about 4 years ago, which had a tremendous impact on her cognitive skills. While she did not suffer the more common loss of use of any of her muscles or body areas, the bigger problem was getting her brain to communicate with her body. After seeing the usual plethora of speech, physical and occupational therapists, we were introduced to Gregory.

The first impression is how he gets to know his client on a personal level in order to best come up with a unique solution. The next impression is the depth of his knowledge and experience to be able to execute those solutions, and flex with the results to tweak the solution for the best ongoing results. And of course the next impression is the results themselves.

In this continuing evolution of stroke survival, new issues crop up that are hard to diagnose sometimes due to my wife's severe aphasia - the inability to articulate how she's feeling or what's happening. Gregory's innate ability to observe and deduce then create and recreate a solution, are unparalleled. Using visual therapies and physical exercises to reconnect the brain to assist in accomplishing everyday tasks that most of us take for granted are absolutely invaluable. It's exhilarating to watch Gregory go to work, his enthusiasm and excitement at watching his client improve is infectious!

I have learned the interdependence of many of these techniques from Gregory, and have brought them home to do with my wife between visits to continue her journey towards wellness. Without Gregory's work over the past few years, we would be in a far different, and worse, place. With all our hearts, thank you Gregory"!

"Gregory can see more from 1000 miles away than the doctors sitting across from me. If you're seeking telehealth... services, he's the person you want at the other end".

"Gregory's breadth of knowledge allows him to see past your surface level symptoms and do his best to leave you feeling better at the end of the appointment than when you started".

  "Dr. Maria Gentry, DO, is without a doubt one of the finest doctors I have ever had the privilege of being treated by (and I have had many—from all over the country).  Thanks to her, my fibromyalgia and long-term injury symptoms have really subsided, and my overall energy level is better.  She is not only a very good doctor, but also a good listener...which, in turn, makes her a better doctor.  I have referred several people to her (who have all been very pleased by her work) and have also spread news of her expertise to others, who have then gone on themselves to make referrals to her (and they have all been very pleased, too).  I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a thorough, professional, and accurate medical professional who will treat you with care, understanding, and talent.  Dr. Gentry is the best, in every respect, and I am very grateful to have found her".

    "I had been to see many and varied practitioners (from traditional western physicians to acupuncturists, cranio-sacral therapists, chiropractors and more... ) for pain in my lower back. Many of these approaches helped in the short-term. But, for some reason, in spite of changes made to the way I sit, move, sleep, and work I kept on falling into the same pain cycle. Dr. Gentry's work has changed some deep patterns in my body that none of these other approaches seemed quite able to reach.  I'm delighted that, for the first time in many years, I've enjoyed weeks with no pain at all and I feel like I'm inhabiting a new, healthier body!"

    "After the 1st treatment with Dr. Gentry, I told my wife, "I not only feel taller, but more aligned." I must say, this 'aligned//integrated/grounded' feeling has continued as an outcome after any visit since. And I've noticed other things changing in my life in a corresponding way: I'm more clear in my relationships with people, which I can tell is connected to feeling more aligned".

    "When I came to you I was in severe pain, so I am more than happy to sing your praises! I wanted to let you know that in the three weeks since my last appointment with you... I have had full freedom of movement with my left arm and virtually no pain at all... And the numbness in my arm has greatly receded... If trouble revisits me, I will certainly want to see you again – 
I would like to thank you for your kind and very effective service".

    "Dr Gentry is the most professional, articulate, kind, and thorough professional I have ever come across. We have been taking my son to her for some time in dealing with some chronic health issues. She has been a life saver, literally. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and I have very high standards. She is the best. I do believe osteopathy is more than a science - it's an inherent skill and Dr Gentry just has this 'gift,' about her. Ithaca is very lucky to have her".

    "Dr. Gentry listened carefully about my painful non-functioning thumb. Her non-intrusive careful procedure released the tension and reduced, then ultimately eliminated, the pain and discomfort I had been having. More than that, her initial procedure helped my whole body, not just the thumb area. I highly recommend Dr. Gentry".

    "I suffered from neck pain related to a very stressful work environment. It was through Dr. Gentry that I was able to finally rid myself of the numerous medications which filled my bathroom counter. This amazing doctor took her time with me and evaluated my entire life style. I now sleep better, eat better, exercise a little more and transformed my life. Oh and by the way, the neck pain is gone".

  "I have been SO impressed by Dr. Gentry! To me, she is a miracle worker with healing hands. Each time I've visited her, I've left her office with my body feeling healthy, straightened out, and energy just flowing freely through me. And this after spending the last half-year limping about depressed with joint pain and constant, nagging soreness. Although my struggle with pain is ongoing, after seeing her three times, I've been able to get some normality back into my days, and things are looking up for a change. I credit this mostly to her magic touch"!
