I started going to Dr. Dardano about 2 years ago for some chronic conditions I developed (IBS, eczema, asthma, etc.) and with his help, I was able to drastically decrease those conditions. Through natural medicine and otherwise unconventional forms of diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Dardano is able to pinpoint issues in the body and set up supplement and wellness plans to improve your overall wellbeing. More recently, I have been recovering from a covid infection, and Dr. Dardano has been instrumental in my recovery. He has been my go to doctor during this time where treatments by different specialists are just medications being thrown at me and doctors aren't really listening to the patient if they seem "healthy enough" to survive. Dr. Dardano will make it his mission to get you back to full health, and I am at ease knowing this. If you are looking to better overall wellbeing in a natural way, I highly recommend! read more

I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Dardano! In a society filled with western medicines and the concept of taking a pill for everything. I'm grateful to have found a way back to holistic living through Dr. Dardano. He truly brought me back to health through nutritional education, needed supplements and guidance throughout my journey. I was searching for an appropriate diet to cleanse my body and a diet plan of healthy eating. It was very confusing research on my own until I found a way to do it through his knowledge! He is always there to help guide me and has been spot on at diagnosing everything else that has crept up on me. I sincerely trust Dr. Dardano and his knowledge! I have recommended him to friends and quite of my family members who all have positive results with him. It's comforting to know that there are still people out there healing us holistically! Thank you, Dr. Dardano! read more

The first time I went to his office was right after I came back from my work assignment to cover the earthquake in Fukushima, Japan. At that time, my health was at the lowest level. I took a blood test before the assignment which showed no signs of health issues. But when I came back from Japan and had a test, I wasn't pleased by the result. Physically my energy level was so low, my immunity was low, and I had some infections because of my low immunity. (my thyroid issue came back as well) I went to Dr. Mike's office for foot bath detox treatment because I was worried that my health condition was a result from radiation exposure in Japan and wanted to detox my body. What we saw in the foot bath was a lot of black powdery stuff floating. We both knew I needed a serious treatment. I believe in holistic approach when it comes to health (or everything in life actually). The problem to me for holistic approach was I had to go to different places to get different treatments I wanted. Chiropractic adjustment, reiki session, homeopathy, chakra balancing, etc. It's very costly... But Dr. Mike does everything above! He understands health issues are resulted from physical, emotional, and environmental imbalance. His treatments focus not only on physical imbalance but emotional imbalance as well. I always find myself leaving his office happy and clear minded. After several visits to his office, my energy level was changed (of course much better), the black stuff in the foot bath was diminished, and I feel healthier than ever. Yes, I did a blood test. Everything was back to normal. I have tried many reiki sessions with different practitioners and different alternative medicine treatments, including kinesiology, but his skills are exceptional. I haven't had a single visit to my western medicine doctor (except for the annual blood test) since I met Dr. Mike. The greatest thing about him is he is a caring, positive, and happy person, which is very important when we get energy work. read more

For over a year now, my husband and I have both been working with Dr. Dardano. With a vast knowledge of both the body and mind, he was able to help us greatly. So many are suffering from poor gut health, inadequate nutrition, and abundant toxicity in their bodies and minds. In addition to a grounded, practical approach, he utilizes the body's unmistakable wisdom and harnesses a powerful intuition. This unique approach uncovers the root of health mysteries that baffle those doctors who are not open to a holistic approach. Wherever you are in the world, Dr. Dardano's virtual sessions allow for direct access to an immediate, significant upgrade to your overall health and a welcomed boost to your energy level. I would highly recommended his services! read more

Two things as an update: 1. Dr. Dardano recently moved to a much more "zen" location. Way better tea :) 2. Dr. Dardano's 60-day nutritional program is great. read more

My experience with Mr Dardano was aweful! He first told me that my issue was all gut related, especially parasites and that I had no other issues such as Lyme or hormonal imbalance which I was waiting for test results for and tried to push on me the supplements he sells. Two weeks later I got my tests results back from my doctor and I had indeed Lyme and major hormonal imbalance. When I told M. Dardano that he was mistaken in his diagnosis he basically bullied me! I do not understand how this person can have so many 5 stars. read more

Don't see Dr. D unless you're ready to go in with an open mind and a healthy dose of patience. After all, it is alternative medicine, it takes time, and there is no "sure thing" when it comes to healing. I still don't know what to make of his kinesiology techniques of divining ailments and remedies. This may be what some reviewers refer to as quack medicine. At the end of the day, it's results that count. When I first went to see Dr. D, I was prescribed double the daily dose of over-the-counter antihistamines, and still suffering from serious allergy symptoms that got progressively worse. Six months after being treated by Dr. D with herbal supplements, together with a commitment to a modified diet, my allergies symptoms are 90% gone and I'm completely off antihistamines. It's an amazing feeling to overcome a health problem you thought you'd be stuck dealing with for life. His fees are not inexpensive, more so if your health insurance doesn't cover alternative medicine. Even if it does, the herbal and homeopathic treatments can add up. But for me the journey has been worth it, especially when conventional medicine stopped being a viable long term solution. Now I can enjoy Thai food knowing it's not going stir up my allergies! read more

I've been seeing dr Michael Dardano for over 6 years! Best healer ever! I've had bad back pain and carpal tunnel problems starting in my mid teenage years. Thought it was normal until I started seeing Dr Dardano and fixed me up. Took some time to get my adjustments to a normal human and now I get minor adjustments when i need it. Dr. Dardano also helps with alternative medicine and herbal remedies when it comes to my terrible digestion, gut, colds and even helps me with my cramps when Aunt Flow stops by every month. The herbal drops and pills help with whatever issues I have in my body. The fact that he can look at me or when he sees me he can tell something is wrong. He can find the triggers and knows when you lie about your health (don't know how he does it but OMG he is amazing)! Dr Dardano does Reiki healing and it helps so so much! One time when I was super stressed after staying in the hospital with my grandmother I was very 'heavy' and sluggish. Not knowing why i went to see DrD and explained where I was. He explained I probably absorbed a lot of negative and bad energies while I was there. He immediately worked on me pulling all the bad energy and healing my body back with positive ones. After this session I felt lighter and more energized. He literally took all the bad and put light back into me. I wouldn't know what I would do without this wonderful doctor. I always feel better after seeing him. Highly recommend him if you are looking for more alternative medicine or healing. read more

Michael Dardano, DC MSN RMT Michael Dardano, DC MSN RMT Nutritionists, Reiki, Naturopathic/Holistic 650 Broadway New York, NY 10012 5.0 star rating 1/15/19 I have been seeing Dr Dardano for a few years now and I can't believe how great I feel. I suffered from joint pain and stomach issues and with his help those issues have been resolved. Not only is he right on with his treatment but his friendly, helpful attitude is so refreshing. I never feel rushed, he gives me all the time I need. He is always smiling and full of such useful information. I look forward to our visits and always come away feeling so much better. He has taken care of my husband as well and he too is doing so much better. His nutritional information has been invaluable, the difference is incredible. With that smile, the pleasant manner and his knowledge we will be sticking with our Dr. Dardano Useful 1 read more

I came to Yelp as my last resort. I had been vomiting for months for no apparent reason. It started to become more frequent--about twice a week. I had a sore throat and my knuckles where getting rough. The worst part was feeling like there was no solution, even after going to several western medicine doctors. I found Dr. Dardano after a search for homeopathic doctors in my area. After one month of treatment with Dr. Dardano, I stopped vomiting and felt so much better. This also improved my mood tremendously. I can't thank him enough for that. Would certainly recommend seeing him--even if it is through Skype! read more

Dr. Dardano is very caring and has a kind spirit as well as a warm smile that puts you at ease in his presence. I highly recommend Drardano, he is one in the million! read more

I dont understand why this day and age, why we are still getting holistic medical advise form men like this. He came across as elitist, condesending, and careless. As a healer myself its always odd to see a white male appropriate cultural medicine like this. Charging over 80 dollers for basic vitimins and herbs?! I grow tulsi (holy basil an amazing adaptogen) in my garden like a weed and dont understand why it would cost so much for 60 pills? I would urge anyone thinking about using his practice to try to find a women of color or someone that has liniage in understanding these herbal medicins and how they can effect mood and overall health. Just becaues someone goes to school to become a doctor DOES NOT mean they are a healer. Its sad to see ancient practices and modalities approprated and sold back to people like this. Please consider the source and think about digging deeper into your research for health and wellness. Best of luck on your jouney! read more

Dr. Dardano is a life saver. When I came to him, I was desperate for help. I had been suffering with a "mystery illness" chronically for years, including 1 known auto-immune condition that I had previously thought was cured, but came back with a vengeance. After years of western medical practitioners, I knew I needed alternate help, as they were literally killing me with antibiotics and steroids, never getting to the root of the issue, and quite frankly, dismissing any holistic approach as "crazy". I did not know what a homeopath was, but I knew I needed a different approach to my health. So I thought I'd give it a try... Within 5 minutes of my first visit with Dr. Dardano, he ACCURATELY diagnosed me with 3 major root causes of my illness--which had been completely ignored by my previous Western Medical Doctors. Not only did he accurately diagnose me (by simply doing a non invasive muscle test and his own beautiful intuitive abilities), but with the proper natural supplements, I was cured of my ailments within 6 weeks. Since then, I see him for routine "maintenance" check ups, and any time I get sick. He is always available to help. He doesn't just work solely for physical ailments, but for the emotional and spiritual factors that all tie in to one's total health--Literally the mind, body, spirit connection. Dr. Dardano is warm, compassionate, super fun and damn good at what he does. He changed my life and he has changed the lives of many others! Do not hesitate to see him! read more

Dr. Mike has played an integral role in my recovery from intestinal/gut issues that have plagued me for about a year. After an exhaustive back and forth between my primary care physician and a GI for months on end with no real improvement, I needed someone to really hear me out and help me heal. Thank God that person is Dr. Mike. His knowledge of both physical and emotional healing was just what I needed - something I expect most conventional doctors a) don't have time for and b) aren't trained to understand. Between the supplements he has provided and the energy work, I feel like a cloud has lifted, and that recovery is no longer a dead-end of referrals and apathetic physicians. read more

I would HIGHLY recommend Michael Dardano is a holistic doctor to everyone I know! In fact, everyone I meet I find a way to sneak him into the conversation and recommend his wide variety of services. Not only is he knowledgable and extremely professional, he's also very warm and comforting + instantly felt like an old friend. If you want someone who knows his stuff, can identify exactly what's happening with your body, and deliver quick results... look no further! read more

I originally came to see Dr. Dardano after feeling frustrated with traditional Western doctors who only seemed to treat my symptoms, not the actual issue at hand. Dr Dardano took the time to find out the true causes of my issues, and prescribed supplements that solved the issues quickly and effectively, without any of the terrible side effects Western medications often come with! He is always attentive, kind, and caring and seems to really care about giving his patients the best results possible. I have sent family, friends, and even neighbors to Dr. Dardano, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a happier and healthier life! Don't put it off any longer, just go see him! You won't be disappointed! read more

UPDATE: came back to see Dr. Mike a second time cause I felt such a great deal of relief from the first visit. Second time was to address some TMJ, neck tightness, and this gosh darn headache i have had for over 1.5 years and had just assumed would be part of my life forever. Tried neurological meds, acupuncture, massage, etc. Had someone said go get your ears cracked and you will feel better i would have laughed in their face. Well, Dr. Mike cracked my ears and AMEN my head ache is gone and now its gone! i have this clarity in my head that is unbelievable. I cant recommends him enough. There are doctors. There are practitioners. There are practitioners you see. Then there are practitioners that practice what they love and are amazing at! THIS IS THE GUY YOU MUST GO SEE read more

I've been visiting Dr. Dardano for about a month and I can honestly say that he really does care about his patients. He's such a positive, uplifting person to be around too. Initially, I visited him for chiropractic adjustments, but have also seen him for other issues that he's treated with holistic supplements and even energy work. After the energy session (my first one ever), there were 0 knots in my shoulders. My boyfriend commented that he had never felt my shoulders so relaxed. I've been working to get off of hard prescription drugs and Dr. Dardano's help has really assisted me nicely with this so far. read more

Daily computer use has caused my hands and wrists to become very painful at times. My wrist would start to throb to the point where it would affect my day to day work. Over a matter of a few sessions with Dr Mike, my wrist instantly started to feel better. After a few weeks, I can say I do not feel the throbbing pain anymore and am able to work without issues. Dr Mike not only treats your issues, but also gives you knowledge on how to maintain a healthy mind and body! read more

I came to Dr. Dardano, because I have had asthma my whole life,( was born with it) and I was tired of all the medications, I have been on my whole life! I have always taken Singular and Advair and if i missed a dose I was struggling to breath and it was causing me more problems then just having asthma. With in a week of seeing Dr. Dardano I am off all meds, except for Herbs he gave me and I feel wonderful, (like my asthma is gone.) I feel great and can breath with ease. This is the first time in my life I have been able to run, climb stairs and exercise with out struggling for air. My life has totally changed for the better! He is funny, kind and caring! I never imagined I would feel this wonderful and be this pleased when I walked through his door. Thank you Dr. Mike Dardano! You are the BEST!!! read more

Dr. Micheal Dardano is an amazing Hollistic Doctor. I went in for my first-ever Reiki treatment and almost instantly I felt comfortable around him. He is warm and inviting, a trait that is rare among doctors. After he adjusted my energy chakras it's as if the dark clouds looming over me began to clear almost over night. I highly recommend him if you are having deep emotional problems and considering Reiki as an alternative treatment. read more

This practitioner was very unprofessional to me. He had charged my card hundreds of dollars for medicine I never wanted or bought or even received. Please do yourself a favor and don't get ripped off like me. You should really figure out what you are Doctor and how to really help your patients. read more

Dr. Dardano is an amazing practitioner. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and thorough. I love how he combines multiple disciplines (nutrition, reiki, etc.) in order to get the best results for his patients. He tailors each visit based on the patient's specific needs. He really helped me with my long standing problem of insomnia. With herbs/homeopathic remedies and teaching me how to meditate, I am now sleeping better than ever. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an awesome holistic doctor! read more

As a health care practitioner myself, it's hard to find someone that I trust to treat me. What makes Dr. Mike great is that he's got a multifaceted holistic approach - chiropractic, reiki, nutrition, supplements... So many chiropractors are popping and cracking you and getting you out the door, but Dr. Mike gives you time, care and attention you need to help your whole body heal. He helped me a lot after a trip to Cuba when I had digestive problems. One treatment and I was already feeling much better. I could feel my body shifting while on the table and felt the effects for hours later. He's also got an awesome bedside manner - you can tell that he cares and that he's giving you 100% of his attention. Highly recommend him. read more

This is an honest account of my experience with Michael Dardano, written without malice, solely for the purpose of warning prospective patients. I contacted him to help with digestive and skin issues, we scheduled a Skype meeting, an hour for which he charged me $200, and spent a good portion of the time telling me stories of other patients, including their last names, and talking to his dog who was in a chair next to him. He diagnosed me using "intuition," and prescribed a whole slew of supplements for additional $215 dollars. The cost of which was not disclosed until the end of our session. The supplements did nothing to help heal or abate my symptoms, and actually caused debilitating headaches. He said he'd never heard of that, and I was the only one to experience that kind of reaction. I developed more symptoms, and not knowing how to treat me, he stopped returning my calls and texts. I found another practitioner, a real healer and herbalist who asked about the supplements I was taking. I read the ingredients to her, only to find that they contained both gelatin and milk proteins. I am Vegan. Dardano knew I was vegan the first time we talked. Still he gave me animal products, one of which is among the top most allergy inducing foods known to humans. I confronted him about all this and he said the milk was negligible and the gelatin was vegetarian. Hmmm. I asked for my money back and he refused, calling my pointing out facts abusive. He took $500 from me (including one "follow up" in which he did what he calls reiki) and refuses to acknowledge his failure. He is not a healer. Look elsewhere if you really need help healing. read more

Working with Dr. Dardano to improve my health has been a godsend! No doctor had been able to find anything in blood tests to explain my intense fatigue, joint pains and weight gain over the last 3 years and misdiagnosed me as having completely unrelated things like depression and ulcers and tried to get me on medications with deleterious side effects. Dr. Dardano diagnosed me with mold/yeast/fungus and parasites and put me on a homeopathic regimen with a few easy dietary restrictions. After two months, I have lost 10lbs, have almost no joint pain, no more intense morning fatigue and making many positive changes in my life thanks to the increased mental clarity and energy I have. His intuitive abilities and naturopathic methods have put me on the path to health and energy and I am so grateful to have found solutions to debilitating health issues! He has a wonderful positive attitude, lots of energy and a compassionate and enlightened approach to people. Dr. D makes himself available and is easy to reach for questions and troubleshooting. read more

I recently saw Dr Michael for a much needed Reki session. He pinpointed exactly what was going on and was able to give me immediate and much-needed relief. His ability to hone in on what is happening is remarkable and I have recommended anyone who asks to go see Dr Michael. He is very generous with his time and even helped me through a recent flu diagnosis, my recovery was quick and I didn't have to take the over the counter drugs that often make me feel groggy. Dr Michael is the real deal and is a very gifted healer. Thank you for all you do. read more

Dr.dardano is the best!! When i first went to see him i was dealing with ALOT of health issues. Issues that other doctors brush off as simple anxiety. But dr.dardano from the start explained to me how my gut issues and thyroid issues were the cause of this ongoing problem and he was gonna help all the way thru!! And omg he has! He always helps me but my mind at ease. He gave me a nutrition plan start taking pills and taught me how to mediate! Im 4 months in and i have felt so much better. From throwing up almost everyday to none! From having panic attacks to having none just a little bit of anxiety but 80 percent better! From not been able to stand up to cook because i had zero energy feeling so weak to cooking almost everyday now!!! And the rapid weight gain i was dealing with has stopped and have lost 22 pounds already!!! Seriously my whole family is so thankful for him!!! IM so thankful for him! Thank you dr.dardano!! read more

Dr. Dardano is very sweet and calming. I laid down on the treatment table and he checked my whole body to see where the energy was flowing easily and where I could use some extra support. I walked away with great supplements and feeling clear on what I need going forward. If you are looking for a capable doctor that can do more than western medicine can do, you are in the right place. read more

If you're reading this, don't hesitate to contact Dr. Dardano. I have no clue how I lucked into finding Dr. Dardano on Yelp, but I'm so glad I did. He didn't have a ton of reviews yet, but the ones he did have, made it clear that I had found the right person. This review is long overdue as when it comes to your own health, it can be hard to want to share. I had been struggling with my health for almost a year and seemed to have no answers. I was having stomach issues and breaking out into hives all over my body. I went to an allergist and dermatologist and was told I was likely sensitive to something, but it would be nearly impossible to figure out to what. I lost weight and was so stressed out all the time because of it. I was worried about what foods I should eat or avoid and I was exhausted. I decided to take a chance on seeing Dr. Dardano and I'm so happy I did. He has a lot of knowledge and an uncanny ability to tune in to what might be off balance. I like that he not only gives you the supplements best suited to your body, but he also knows that health is more than just physical (although side note, he is also a chiropractor and can help you with that too - he adjusted my ears when I had a bout of vertigo). He knows that for you to heal physically you also need to heal emotionally and mentally. He gives you guided meditations you can do at home, which are amazingly effective. The cord cutting meditation made more of a difference than I could have ever imagined. He also provides reiki energy healing. Combining all of these modalities, Dr. Dardano customizes a treatment plan you can't get anywhere else. He helps you learn how your body communicates with you to let you know when it's off balance and needs you to address it. I didn't think I'd ever get answers and feel better. I won't say it was all quick and easy. You have to be willing to put in the work and go on the journey and then keep journeying. Dr. Dardano is kind, generous, supportive, and there for you. I met him when he was in San Diego and even though he is on the opposite coast now, we are still able to have remote appointments. You can text him when you need him and he is so encouraging. You'll look forward to seeing not only Dr. Dardano but also his dog, Harry, too! If you feel at your wits' end and are sick of doctors or tests that either don't give you answers or make you think you have to be okay with never feeling quite right, contact Dr. Dardano and see where your journey takes you. I am so grateful for him coming into my life! read more

Dr. D is truly an amazing holistic doctor and someone I would recommend to anyone I care about. For years, I've been dealing with digestive issues. My clean eating and dietary changes weren't enough and I knew I needed to find someone to help me sort out these issues. Since visiting Dr. D, my digestive issues have improved dramatically. I no longer stress over my digestion 24/7 which is a huge relief for me. His approach is very warm and I leave every appointment with a more positive outlook and ideas of how to improve my health on my own. In addition to treating digestive problems, Dr. D does amazing energy and chiropractic work. His reiki sessions are wonderful and he has helped me understand how my emotions are linked to my physical health and digestion. This is something I didn't even know I needed until visiting Dr. D. Since I started seeing him, I have gone through a lot of life changes and his appointments have been a great source of comfort and healing. My digestion is back on track and I'm feeling great. I highly recommend visiting him! read more

Dr Dardano is the real deal. I went to him seeking some answers after growing frustrated with conventional medicine. His nutritional advice healed my issues and put me on the path to much more vibrant health immediately. He truly listens to what you have to say and is easy to talk to. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Update to my original review: A year and a half later and I am still a HUGE fan of Dr. Dardano as well as a regular patient. My overall health and wellness has not been this good in years (knock on wood). I went on a 21 day cleanse which he provided me supplements and coached me through, which thanks to him turned out to be a great experience. Also, I have sent my Mom and a friend to him both of whom are seeing results! I suggest anyone who is looking for someone who is caring and extremely well rounded in his practice as well as experienced in multiple disciplines, to call Dr. Dardano. read more
