Truly remarkable. Dr. Clarke has a supernatural understanding of human physiology and puts that knowledge to use by nearly working miracles. Several finishes of the NYC Marathon were more her doing than mine. She and the entire crew exude an intelligent, caring, compassionate and effective program of treatments that has no equal! Highly recommended.

My experience at the Urban Wellness Clinic has been an absolute success! I sincerely recommend it. I came in at 4 months pregnant with debilitating migraines and in few sessions, Dr. Kiberd and physical therapist Bethany helped my headaches go away as well as my back pain. I also had the chance to take personal training lessons at the Clinic with Matt who designed with me a pregnancy-safe work-out routine. The Clinic is extremely clean and pleasant, their material is adapted for pregnancy. The reception staff is very helpful, especially to navigate insurance claims.

Each and every individual here is truly excellent. No other medical/health practice has had a more positive impact on my physical health. They really understand how to read your complex body and pinpoint what's amiss. All the while, they're so down to earth that it feels like I'm visiting old friends every time I step into the clinic. GO HERE - YOUR BODY WILL THANK YOU (even if they're out of network for you too - it's absolutely worth it).

I have gone to Urban Wellness Clinic for many years and they have helped me immensely. The services are very high quality, and I feel like I'm in really good hands. They have helped me with certain health problems that my primary care doctor has not been able to (a severe sinus headache, for instance) and painful muscle aches and spasms. I often get instant relief when I go there. Dr. Clarke is very gifted, and I see her most often. With Dr. Clarke, Bethany (the massage therapist), and Matt, I have found a lot of relief for my hip bursitis. They are very knowledgeable and explain things well. Also, UWC takes my health insurance, so I'm very lucky! Everyone there is friendly and helpful. I trust them and I recommend them to all my friends and acquaintances.

After having varied success with a few other PT practices in NYC, I sought out NKT practitioners and found Urban Wellness Clinic. Thank goodness I did. In only two weeks, my back pain had diminished by roughly 75%. Today, I’m pain-free in the gym and out. Urban Wellness Clinic helped me get healthy and tap into a level of strength I never even knew I had.

For the last ten years, I've been addressing chronic issues stemming from decades of playing violin and teaching fitness. I've worked with more than a handful of therapists and clinics in the New York City area with underwhelming passable results. My sessions with Dr. Emily Kiberd and her Urban Wellness Clinic team are by far the most thorough, thoughtful, holistic, and have been the most effective in my daily movement practice (teaching fitness, triathlon training, playing violin). They truly work as a team to help find the root of the issues and make sure to communicate to both me and each other how I'm progressing so we're all on the same page.

I'll make this really simple. Go! Dr. Clarke, Bethany and Matt (actually everyone at Urban) make a great team! For me, life got in the way of my personal well being. Being an ex-college athlete I always just expected to get back in shape easily, but a few injuries derailed my effort. It wasn't until injured my lower back that I realized I needed an experienced team to guide me through the process. They understood my situation, ask what (if any) are new developments and treat me accordingly. They also listen and expect me to do the work (homework) as well. It's not a pampering session; its treatment and teaching! Very glad I found them! 5 Stars!

Where do I begin?! I have been a patient of Urban Wellness for about 4 months & absolutely love it. I’ve been worked on by Dr. Kiberd, Dr. Clarke, Beth & Matt — they are all equally amazing. The ladies at the front desk, Sasha & Mel, are so compassionate & friendly. This office truly feels like home. I always enjoy being in their presence. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed visiting this practice.

Amazon! Dr. Clarke listened to all of my concerns and is helping find a plan that works for me ! Other Doctors would brush me off, or give me prescriptions. I see Dr.Clarke for both nutrition and chiropractic services. Sasha is amazing at the front desk and knows her stuff. Highly recommend Dr. Clarke and Urban Wellness Clinic.

For a place that most people go to when they’re trying to overcome pain/injury, the Urban Wellness Clinic’s atmosphere is fantastic. My first visit, I saw Dr. Kiberd and Beth. I was having severe back pain (sciatic nerve pain, etc) and they basically helped me shift the tide to recovery from day one. Tips on my diet, stretching, exercises, etc. I was visiting the office a few times a week and was feeling better after each visit. When Dr. Kiberd wasn’t in the office, I saw Dr. Clarke. She was amazing as well. Last but certainly not least was the strength training. I was actively training before my injury so my main goal was to get back to that level. Once I was able to move and shake a bit, I started finishing my sessions with Matt. In a nutshell, the guy is nice, knowledgeable and a wonderful trainer. Urban Wellness Clinic is a NYC treasure. All positives!

Review for NUTRITIONISTTl;Dr- no follow up support, not worth the cost, never responded to email and callsI had really high hopes about meeting with Dr. Clarke. The initial meeting was ok- I felt pretty taken care of, and she treated my metabolism and body fat. She prescribed me a mix of a basic elimination diet/FODMAP diet. She suggested a few things that I expressed concern over based upon my personal history of eating patterns. She seemed to brush these off. I also emphasized a few things that I disliked/would not eat and she wrote them down. When I asked about help and support from her to follow the plan, she told me she didn't provide that and that I would need to see a "diet coach." She also told me that she didn't provide meal plans, except for a one day sample, and that I'd need to see a diet coach for that too. She then said she'd send me for blood work.Well: she emailed me the one-day meal plan and it included all the foods I explicitly said I don't eat, plus the recommendation I said I needed an alternative for (based upon my history.) I wrote her back to ask for alternatives and a new sample meal plan and she NEVER replied. That was over two months ago. In that time I've called the office twice to have the request for blood work sent to my doctor and again, no reply whatsoever.I'm very disappointed and honestly she was not worth the visit or the cost. I thought I'd get an assessment, meal plan, support, etc, but she only provided an assessment, and it felt like it was not specific or tailored to me and my needs and personal situation.
