Hello! My name is Dr. Clara Somoza. I am an osteopathic physician and have had the pleasure of practicing Emergency Medicine since 2002 in the Upstate NY area. I worked at Glens Falls Hospital's Emergency Care Center from 2002-2014. I am currently on staff at Saratoga Hospital/Albany Medical Center's Malta Medical Emergent Care and Ellis Hospital's Medical Center of Clifton Park facility. After listening to my patients (and my colleagues) encourage me, repeatedly,  to open up a private practice to have more time for osteopathic manipulation..I finally listened!!  Osteopathic manipulation is a gentle hands-on treatment, especially useful for non-opiate pain management, but also for relief of muscle tension, ligamentous strain, lymphatic congestion, structural imbalances, tissue/joint inflammation, and fascial strains associated with many chronic or acute conditions. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like a treatment!

I am the Director of Sales at the Courtyard Marriott Saratoga Springs and Excelsior Springs Event Center.   I have many years of experience in hospitality and truly enjoy working with clients to created memorable events, successful meetings and conferences, and ensuring comfortable and enjoyable stays for our overnight guests.
