Dr. Geoffrey Gerow
Geoffrey Gerow is a second-generation chiropractor graduating from the same institution (now known as the National University of Health Sciences) as his father. Subsequently he was hired into the chiropractic department of this same institution. Early on many areas interested him and he went to explore chiropractic techniques on the weekends for two years while teaching. Additionally, he started post-graduate work in Diagnostic Imaging and Chiropractic Orthopedics. Eventually it was difficult to do both and he settled on the latter but always maintained an interest in the former.
He was head of the department of Chiropractic Adjustive Technique which encompassed orthopedics at the Patient Research Center on Campus. Dr. Gerow then returned to his hometown of Buffalo, NY where his father was practicing and helped him. He practiced with Dr. Roger Alt, a Lincoln College Graduate for 2 years and then helped him for two years until he passed. Dr. Gerow then started East Buffalo Chiropractic in 1991. He was the chief chiropractic consultant for the State Insurance Fund of NY in Buffalo for 10 years.
