Dr. Gregory Yesensky
Dr. Yesensky received his Doctor of Osteopathy degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in Old Westbury, New York, after receiving a bachelor's degree in Biology and a Masters in Natural Science from the University of Buffalo- NY. Once Dr. Yesensky read about osteopathy he felt drawn to the profession. He worked hard studying and exploring all that osteopathy could teach. While in medical school, he challenged the power of osteopathy through several rotations where instructors relied upon the principles of AT Still. A great example is with the treatment of children while rotating at the Osteopathic Center for Children in London where he was able to experience the foundation of osteopathic concept through observing the growth and development of a child who receives osteopathic treatment.
After medical school, he stayed in New York for medical residency training at Saint Barnabas Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College in Family Practice and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (FP/OMM) leading to board certification in both fields. Dr. Yesensky served as Chief Resident in this program. During this time he learned the roots of primary care based osteopathy. He spent all of his rotations treating adults and children as inpatients, outpatients, in the intensive care unit, in the emergency room, before and after surgery and in the newborn nursery. Additionally, He was able to perform many anatomical dissections on cadavers and still born premature babies to foster the continual learning of osteopathy.
After residency he has served at several community based clinics over the past 15 years between New York, Arizona, and California working in well adult and child clinics, adult and pediatric outpatient care, urgent care, in patient care, HIV and Hepatitis care all with emphasis on traditional osteopathy as Dr. Still envisioned. Since 1997, Dr. Yesensky has been actively training in hands-on Traditional Osteopathy under the direct mentorship of James Jealous, DO. And continues to gain insight from Dr. Jealous.
