Who is Dr. Alan Sherr?

Dr. Alan Sherr is an experienced chiropractor, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Medical Advisor, as well as the founder and director of the Northport Wellness Center, which he started in 1995 as a holistic health care practice that takes a vitalistic approach to health care and encourages individuals to take responsibility for their own physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.

The mission of the Northport Wellness Center is to “direct people to the realization that life and healing come from within and that, ultimately, the promotion and maintenance of health is superior to the treatment of disease.”

Dr. Sherr truly enjoys assisting others along their path to optimal health. A champion of the philosophy of chiropractic, which emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual and views health as a dynamic process involving the body, mind and heart rather than merely an absence of disease symptoms, Dr. Sherr embraces each of his patient’s journey toward optimal health and well-being as a personal one.
