Headshot of Northeast Alumnus Dr. Vincent Jong

Vincent Jong, DC, grew up in Seoul, South Korea, for the first 16 years of his life. He fully embraced new challenges as he quickly adapted to life in New York City. Getting into Columbia University and New York Chiropractic College was just the start of Dr. Jong’s path to success. Upon graduation from NYCC, Dr. Jong practiced in New York City with three different partners in pain management clinics, where a number of his patients were performers in famous Broadway musicals such as Mamma Mia, Jersey Boys, and Cats, to name a few. After five years of practicing in New York, he moved back to South Korea with his wife and child. Dr. Jong has been practicing at his preventative health and wellness clinic for the past 12 years. His clinic NY Wholistic Care has grown to multiple locations in the Seoul metropolitan area. Throughout Dr. Jong’s 17 years of practice, he has stayed on top of current rehab exercise research and advancements. He also writes and lectures for local health and wellness programs.

Dr. Jong explained that chiropractic is a form of natural healthcare that is still in its infancy in many countries. He truly believes that chiropractic is the future of medicine, and he speaks favorably of his time at NYCC. His advice to incoming students is to be adaptable to change. He also appreciated the various technique electives NYCC offered.

Dr. Jong says that NYCC prepared him very well to be as scientific and evidence-based as possible. His success in both New York and Seoul is evidence that NYCC’s integrative and multidisciplinary model is applicable and achievable worldwide.
