Meet the Team at Driven Wellness

Dr. Benjamin Vallon

Dr. Ben Vallon, a New York native who grew up in Rockland County. After attending SUNY Buffalo where he studied early childhood education, he found his passion for chiropractic and health and wellness through mentorship and shadowing opportunities. He then attended Life University where he earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic.

Being in practice now for years, Dr. Ben has found his calling in the true health and wellness field, while keeping neurologically based chiropractic at the core. Driven Wellness has been a long time in the making and Dr. Ben and his family and staff are proud to bring it to life.

Since being in practice, Dr. Ben has met and married his wife Melanie, now has a beautiful daughter Lilah, and has settled right here in Dutchess County. They enjoy traveling together, both locally and far away, exercising and cooking. As a family they continue to pour into their community through Driven Wellness, and look forward to leaving a lasting impact of true health.
