Education & Experience
Dr. Dave graduated from Rutgers College with a Bachelor’s in Biology and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College. His post-graduate training is extensive: 300 hours in chiropractic rehabilitation, 200 hours in the Brain Balance certificate program, 100 hours of Apex Energetics functional medicine training, completion of Functional Medicine University, and 300 hours toward his Nutrition Diplomate. That’s well over 900 hours of advanced training beyond his degree — and it shows in the breadth of what he can address clinically.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Dave’s three-legged approach — chiropractic, exercise, and nutrition — is simple in concept and clinically rigorous in practice. His background in childhood development and Brain Balance programming makes him particularly effective with pediatric and neurodevelopmental cases, an area most functional medicine providers don’t address with this depth.
Professional Contributions
Dr. Dave has invested hundreds of hours in continuing education across rehabilitation, functional medicine, nutrition, and childhood development — reflecting a practitioner who takes the obligation to keep learning seriously.
Personal Life
Dr. Dave is a New Jersey native with a big family and two boys, Luke and Daniel, who take up most of his time outside the office — and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He loves to cook and tends a greenhouse year-round, which feels entirely on brand for someone whose clinical philosophy centers on nutrition and whole-body health.
