Holistic & Long-Term Wellness

Our whole family of 6 is cared for by Dr Marcos and Dr Brittani. Our children are healthier because of it. My husband and I are aging better because of it. We are so very grateful for your passion behind your purpose.

SO thankful for gonstead chiropractic of florida, they’re the best!! we’ve been to several chiropractors in the past and they are head and shoulders above the rest!! Dr brittani has helped me so much with relief from hip pain and getting the air bubbles in my stomach to go down. so glad that they offer the hiatal hernia adjustment! i love how thorough they are with checking my spine before they do an adjustment and how much they truly care about my wellness! i love that they view health the same way that i do, that’s so important and makes me feel comfortable going here! they’ve also helped my husband immensely when he was in a car accident. we are big fans and can’t recommend them enough!!

I have gone to chiropractors all over the country for 45 years. Gonstead Chiropractic is the very best clinic I have been to. Dr. Marcos’ training and expertise constantly impresses me. There are so many issues he is able to address that are not in the usual chiropractic purview. Within a few weeks of adjustments, X-rays show significant changes in my spine. I am so thankful to have found this clinic.

When I first came in, I told Dr. Marcos he’d have to work a miracle to fix my issues. He referenced his entryway wall that says “Expect Miracles ” and told me to expect it. I’ll admit—it took me several visits (and him reminding me) before I finally looked at the wall. Well, I saw it today… and I have to say, he lived up to the sign's promise in just 3 visits (so far). From day one, he’s been patient, kind, and incredibly thorough. He doesn’t rush through appointments or give cookie-cutter advice. He actually explains what he’s doing, why it matters, and how you can take care of yourself between visits. He makes sure you understand your own body and gives you practical ways to keep improving, not just temporarily feel better. As someone who’s been burned by medical professionals in the past, it’s been refreshing to find a doctor who genuinely cares about long-term healing. He gives hope (and humor) where other doctors give prescriptions and shrugs. For anyone looking for real results and a chiropractor who stands by his word, miracles really do happen here :) (Obligatory photo evidence of the famous wall included)

I have been a patient for almost 2 years now. All of my issues have been corrected and I am on a regular maintenance schedule to keep myself well adjusted. I highly recommend Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani for anyone seeking chiropractic care. They take the time to thoroughly assess not only your specific concerns but also your overall health. Unlike many practitioners, they truly listen to their patients and treat them like family. It’s clear that they care about your well-being in all aspects of chiropractic care. Their approach recognizes that emotional health, stress, day to day life events, directly impacts your physical health, and they ensure you’re in a stress-free environment for your chiropractic wellness. If you're looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares about your entire health journey, Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani are the ones to see!

I have been going to only Gonstead chiropractors for 20 years. I have had great experiences with the three chiropractors that I’ve seen in Iowa, SD and in Florida. Dr Marcos is at the top of the list. Let me explain, in 2012, I had a severe concussion from a second floor fall and with the care from my Iowa Gonstead chiropractor, I was back to work within 35 days. I recovered from the injury and was able to continue in my job as a school administrator. However, I would still get annoying headaches multiple times a week. When I relocated to Florida, I found Dr. Marcos! His skill and knowledge base is so fine-tuned that he identified the exact problem area, and 1.5 years later I rarely have headaches. It was like he turned off a switch. My husband and I see Dr. Marcos twice a month to keep everything aligned as a preventative measure. Trust me when I say, Dr. Marcos, who has a warm caring nature, is one of the best skilled Gonstead chiropractors ever.

Absolutely outstanding care! I’ve been seeing Dr. Brittani Perivolaris at Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic for several months, and I can’t recommend them enough. From the moment you walk in, the front desk staff is welcoming, organized, and efficient. Dr. Brittani takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and genuinely cares about your progress. They tailored a treatment plan with in depth analysis and x-rays. I’ve seen real improvement in my day-to-day comfort. The whole team works seamlessly. They’re kind, knowledgeable, and professional. If you’re looking for a chiropractic team that truly puts patient wellness first, this is the place. Thank you all for help and understanding.

This is my follow up review from my previous post. I have had over 100 adjustments to correct 65 years of poor posture, untreated injuries and plain aches and pains. My current adjustments are in refining the vertebrae align so that I am reaching optimum health. A recent thorough blood test at a medical center confirms it. I do not take any medication even thought I am over 70. I am a personal witness to the Gonstead Chiropractic code that the human body has everything it needs to heal provided and this is a BIG IF, the brain, nervous system (i.e. vertebrae's), organs, glands, muscles, tissues, and ever part of the body is functioning at full capacity which I can now attest would be almost impossible without proper Gonstead Chiropractic care from Dr Marcos Perivolaris. I may sound like a missionary on a quest, in my own way I am for I have seen and felt the difference in my life. I hope you step over your skepticism to try it and see for yourself rather than listening to people who are not qualified to advise you properly. 5/10/2025 I wanted to wait until my initial set of sessions were completed so I can give more comprehensive review. First I have been under chiropractic care since 2006 and will state that I have never had such an intensive and complete examination by a chiropractor like Dr Marcos Perivolaris of Gonstead Chiropractic of Sarasota. Furthermore, the treatments were very different in that instead of just pushing down or turning the vertebrae, Dr Marcos had a definite vector in which he move the vertebrae while closing looking at the extensive X-rays he had done initially. This meant that he was directing the vertebrae into it "original normal" position so that the body can heal itself. The results speak for themselves. Every area of my health that was blocked by the subluxation of vertebraes are showing noticeable improvement such as urinating better, better bowel movements, better sleep cycles, less aches and pains after long walks, and many other symptoms. If you are suffering from nerve pains or have health issues, you owe it to your self to make an appointment with Dr Marcos.

My experience at Gonstead Chiropractics has been awesome. The environment is very warm and inviting, always greeted with a smile upon arriving. Dr. Marcos listens to you and your concerns, and he is truly gifted in his ability to find where the issue is and then clear the pathway for healing. With Gonstead Chiropractics I believe I will be able to do all the activities I enjoy for a Lifetime. Thank you Dr. Marcos and your team!

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Marcos! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The office environment is warm and professional, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Dr. Marcos took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, explaining everything clearly and addressing all my concerns. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my posture and a drastic reduction in my back pain. I truly appreciate the personalized care and the holistic approach to treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Marcos to anyone looking for relief and a chiropractor they can trust!

I was suffering with shingles and could get no relief until I went to Dr. Marcos. I had not previously been to a chiropractor so I was a little concerned about the treatment. Dr Marcos took X-Rays and explained them in detail and answered all my questions. After 2 treatments my shingles pain was gone. He is a very concerned and caring Dr. and I will continue my treatments with him for my over-all wellness.

My entire family and I absolutely love Dr Marcos and Dr.Brittani! They have helped us all in so many ways from anxiety, injuries, infant care, digestion, etc. I have tried many chiropractors and have also had physical therapy in the past, but have never experienced the Gonstead method. It is the absolute best! I haven’t felt this well in so long. This is also such an amazing office. Everyone there feels like family. I love that I can bring all of my daughters in at the same time with me and that scheduling is so flexible. Sue and Sam are also just so amazing!

Sarah Kane

Have had an amazing experience with Gonstead and would ( actually have!) recommend to everyone I know. This should be your first stop - and your primary care doctor - if you are in pain or if you just have "regular" issues with virtually anything (digestion, sleep etc). Their care, responsiveness and attention to detail is unmatched.

Love this place, always treated with kindness and respect. Never experienced anything like it. Way more than just adjustments. 👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

This place is more than a chiropractor. I have been to many, many chiropractors claiming they could fix my lower back problems, with absolutely minimal to no results. I have been adjusted here 2 times and have already experienced more relief than years at anywhere else. Not only do they pinpoint exactly where the problem is and where to adjust, they dive deep into your whole body to resolve other problems that contribute to your overall wellness. Dr. Marcos and Dr. Brittani are a powerhouse of a team. I am so happy to have found them and will continue to praise them any chance I get. If I could give them 100 stars I would. I promise you will not regret your time spent with them!

Dr Marcos & Dr B are truly amazing. I've never felt more comfortable than I do when I am seen by them. It started off as adjustments to help with adhd and emotional regulation for our 6 year old son.. the adjustments also helped with digestive issues he had and led to better performance with sports. Seeing how knowledgeable and caring they were led to both my husband and I getting regular adjustments. This helped me personally with back pain, hip pain and daily headaches. So when our 2 year old daughter ended up with a double ear infection, it was a no-brainer to have her seen by them. After just a few adjustments, her ear infection was cleared up and we were able to avoid medications. Both Dr Marcos and Dr B were always super gentle and always explained what they were doing to help each one of us feel more comfortable during every adjustment. They truly care about your needs. Sarasota is lucky to have these two as a part of the community.
