Checking a chiropractor license in New York takes a free lookup on the state’s licensing website. If you’re about to hand your spine to someone new, it’s worth doing.
Key Takeaways
- New York chiropractors are licensed by the State Education Department’s Office of the Professions, which runs a free online verification search.
- Search by last name (at least three letters) or by six-digit license number.
- A record shows the name, profession, license number, location, date of original license, and registration status.
- Dr. Patel’s New York chiropractic license number is 011920.
How to check a chiropractor license in New York
- Open the state’s chiropractic page at the Office of the Professions and use the verify-a-license search.
- Choose Chiropractic as the profession. The search handles one profession at a time.
- Search by name or by license number. For a name, enter at least three letters of the last name, then a space (not a comma), then the first name. For a license number, enter all six digits, adding leading zeros if the number is shorter.
- Open the record and read it.
The state describes the data as coming from its official database, updated Monday through Friday. The state’s own page on verifying a New York chiropractic license has the details.
What the record shows
You’ll see the licensee’s name, profession, license number, location, date of original license, and registration status. Chiropractors must re-register every three years to practice in New York, so a current registration matters. Board of Regents disciplinary action summaries going back to January 1994 are searchable separately from the license lookup.
What a license doesn’t tell you
It confirms the person is licensed and registered. It doesn’t tell you how they examine you, which techniques they use, what X-rays they take, or what a visit costs. For those, ask. Our list of questions to ask before a first adjustment is a good start, and our guide to chiropractors versus physical therapists explains how the two professions differ.
Dr. Patel’s license
Dr. Priyank Patel is a licensed New York chiropractor, license number 011920. He has 16 years of clinical experience. You don’t have to take our word for any of it. Run the number through the state’s search and read the record yourself. More about him is on our About page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can’t find the chiropractor in the search?
Try the license number instead of the name, or vary the spelling of the first name. If you still can’t find a record, ask the office for the license number. Don’t book until you can confirm it.
Is a D.C. a medical doctor?
No. D.C. stands for Doctor of Chiropractic, which is a separate license from a physician’s (M.D. or D.O.).
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in New York?
No. In New York you can see a chiropractor directly, without a referral from your primary care doctor.
