Dr. Darrel was born and raised on Long Island. After getting injured in a severe auto accident at 15 years old, he struggled with ongoing pain, going back and forth between pain management and physical therapy. As he overcame his injuries, he was offered a job at the very own outpatient clinic that rehabbed him, and he unknowingly started his career in healthcare & injury recovery, working in both outpatient and inpatient physical therapy clinics at 18 years old.

He attended the State University of New York, graduating with a degree in Exercise Science, with a focus on Fitness Development. He continued as a personal trainer before earning his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from New York Chiropractic College where he performed clinical rotations at the Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic and Monroe Community Hospital located in Rochester, NY.

Dr. Darrel moved to the greater Washington D.C area, and over his 8 years there,  bridged his rehabilitation experience with Chiropractic expertise, to where life came full circle. He ultimately worked across more than 25 Physical Therapy clinics with two of the largest healthcare companies in the Mid-Atlantic region, evaluating and treating patients as they recovered from auto accidents. In his capacity, he gained invaluable insight into multi-site operations and patient management at scale.

Before his role in those clinics, he had the privilege of working with exclusive clientele, including sports team owners, distinguished officials, and VIPs from our nation’s capital, along with their families. He developed a collaborative approach to patient care by working closely with family medicine physicians, orthopedists, and neurologists to ensure patients received the most comprehensive treatment plans possible.

Now, he is excited to bring that same high standard of care, trust, and commitment to Seneca, offering personalized solutions for patients while continuing to foster strong professional collaborations. Dr. Darrel’s goal is to ensure that every patient—whether recovering from an accident, managing chronic pain, or pursuing peak performance— feels supported and understood.

Outside of the clinic, he enjoys working out, spending time with his Bernese Mountain Dog, Griffin, concerts, golfing, and boating. He is passionate about exploring new restaurants and new cities, which keeps him inspired both personally and professionally.
