Active Acupuncture

just with the initial phone call this place already is an indicator that all they want is your money! some rude Asian lady got on the phone asking me what I need when I told her she was irritable and proceeded to get annoyed when I asked the type of services they offer. if your telling me $ 100 for massage and I asked you what type DO NOT TELL OR TALK DOWN TO POTENTIAL CLIENTS WHO WAS NOT COMING IN AS AN INDIVIDUAL BUT making an appointment for 3 people. Also don’t be so money hungry and describe your services as whatever… the rude classless gold digging Asian lady was too eager to stick needles rather than do offer something less invasive… BE WARNED!

Dr Chen is the best in the city! I tried acupuncture yesterday for my back pain. She told me I will feel so tired after. so magic that i slept 10 hours, I feel my back getting really better !陈医生是个非常专业的针灸医生，我很开心在纽约能找到这么专业的医生。

Dr. Chen is truly one of the very best. She’s helped me manage chronic debilitating pain, and I discovered the benefits of acupuncture with her for the very first time 6 years ago. Have not touched pain killers since.

Dr. Chen is great! I have acupuncture treatments for more than 10 years. I have tried many different acupuncture doctors in both US and Asia. I can tell if the acupuncture doctor hit the right spot or not. Dr. Chen is one of the best. She always hit the right spot. She knew my issue right away when she saw me for the 1^st time. Her office is very clean and nice too. The bed in her office is like the one in SPA which is very comfortable. I have seen her for 5 times so far. I will continue to see her.

Because she balanced my hormones so well I was able to conceive without any drugs! She also took away my backache during my pregnancy and the nausea from morning sickness!!!

I went to them for infertility help (we were told we had only a 5% chance of conceiving naturally) and got pregnant 4 months later! I am very grateful — Dr. Chen saved me from going through the IVF cycle I was going to begin soon. I continued my visits through the first 2 trimesters of my pregnancy and I felt great the whole time — I had lots of energy and absolutely no nausea or pain. I know it’s all thanks to her treatments. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, I was actually sad when I had to stop going. Thank you thank you Dr. Chen and the girls — they are all so wonderful and helpful; it was the best kind of environment to be in during that stressful time.

Thank goodness for Dr. Chen! A week before heading to Italy, I sprained my ankle running and the following morning, I couldn’t put any weight on my left foot. The pain did not subside all week and after seeing an ankle specialist and physical therapist to no avail, I decided to give acupuncture a shot.
The appointment process was a breeze and I was able to see Dr Chen the same day I called. The office is inviting and very clean, staffed with very nice receptionists and patients are seen in private rooms.
After patiently hearing my complaints, Dr Chen quickly identified the problem areas and proceeded to work her magic on me.
I can honestly say that after one treatment, my ankle was much better and I am happy to say that I am pain free in Italy right now writing this review! Thank you so much Dr Chen for saving my trip, and I will be sure to recommend you to all my friends!

Warm and welcoming practice, very professional. Stayed with me in the room because was nervous getting acupuncture for the first time. Recommend, even though have only been one time so far.

Dr. Chen is very professional. She’s excellent in finding the real cause of your symptoms and offering best treatment. I came in for knee pain and got much better after the first therapy. Now I’m doing weekly visits and my overall health condition improves significantly. I would highly recommend Dr. Chen to anyone who’s thinking of doing acupuncture therapy.

I started seeing Dr. Chen around 7 – 8 months ago for infertility issues as well as pain from a labrum tear in my shoulder. I had previously seen two other acupuncturists in NYC but feel that her methods worked best for me. Previous acupuncturists were prescribing expensive herbs but she explained these shouldn’t be mixed while also taking other medications for the same purpose. She is incredibly easy to schedule appointments with and also accepts insurance! The only con to her office is that the walls are very thin so you can usually hear her consultations with others. But I’ve found that if I play music in the room I don’t hear this as much. I believe she will also be in a new office in the next few months so hopefully this won’t be an issue anymore. After about 3 – 4 months of seeing her regularly 1x per week I am pregnant and my shoulder pain is almost non-​existent! I’m a strong believer in the effects of acupuncture on the body and would highly recommend Dr. Chen.

I’m a longtime patient who originally went to Dr Chen for ear pain and pressure. She helped me with that and now we’ve moved on to my chronic neck and back issues. There’s no problem she can’t address, even itchy skin! She is extremely smart and confident, and a true fountain of knowledge. The ladies who work in the office are also very nice, professional, and competent. Guaranteed, you will feel relief from whatever ailment you are experiencing!

What can I say. Having never gone to an acupuncturist before, I went to Dr. Chen twice a week for a month or so, and my brutal hot flashes were gone. Dr. Chen sees all types of patients but her specialty is women’s problems, particularly fertility. One feels complete confidence in her training, skill, wide experience, insight, and dedication. This is a no frills place, no music, no coat closet, bathroom up the hall. No matter.

Highly recommended, very professional service. I went to Eileen for a recurring hamstring injury that had been bothering me for a few months. A few treatments and the nagging pains and tightness were all but gone. She explained thoroughly what she was doing, and why I was experiencing the pain, even identifying an older injury I had sustained in my back during the process without me mentioning it.

Went to see Eileen for a shoulder/​neck pain that’s been bugging me on and off for years. She took care to explain what she was doing for me before we got started. I expected a little bit of pain from the needles but there actually wasn’t any pain at all. When the needles came out and I sat up I felt like a new man! It felt as if a pressure had been lifted from my body and the pain was gone and I honestly felt better than I feel even when I’m not hurting!
Overall my experience was wonderful and my shoulder/​neck feel way better. I’ve gotten acupuncture from other places in the past that never did much for me but with Eileen, I saw real results!
