Who is the best Chinese Medicine Doctor in New York City?
This is actually an impossible question to answer. Just like there is no one best doctor for every condition, there is no best acupuncturist for every condition in every moment. It is really about finding the best acupuncturist for your needs. There are a few questions to consider.
1. What is their Education and Experience?
Education and experience are obviously important factor for being a good acupuncturist. I went to Touro Graduate Program in Oriental Medicine, which is a 4 years master’s degree and continued on to a postgraduate training in China at the Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This education was very intensive, covering hundreds of acupuncture points, herbs, and herbal formulations. I also had unique and extensive training in acupressure and Tui na (Chinese medical massage), learning techniques and treatments that other acupuncturists don’t know.
My experience in both China and the United States provided an opportunity to develop a specialty in treatment of pain, migraines, prostatitis, and dermatology.
Education is especially important to consider when going to a Medical Acupuncturist who generally have only 300 hours of training acupuncture theory and methods.
2. What is their Specialty?
Find our where your acupuncturist has special training in any specific area.
While I worked in China, I developed a specialty in treating pain, specifically shoulder pain and frozen shoulder, migraine and sinus headaches, back pain, sciatica, knee pain,endometrosis, painful periods, Interstitial Cystitis, Chronic Prostatitis , Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome, and incontinence following prostate surgery. I also developed a specialty in dermatology including acne, dermatitis, eczema, hives, and shingles. I also trained in digestive issues, such as acid reflux, Irritable Bowl Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and chronic constipation or loose stools. As well as asthma and sinusitis.
If you are looking for someone who is an expert on issues of pregnancy, I would recommend my colleague Virgina Mims. If you are looking for facial rejuvenation acupuncture, then call Elizabeth Shiah. If you are looking for an expert in mental health, then call my colleague Jessica Yunker. And if you would like support in Cancer Care, you should contact my good friend and colleague Kejian Xiao.
3. Do you like their bedside manner?
Communication is important with your health care provider is very important. Your practitioner should listen to you with patience and compassion and you should feel comfortable asking them to explain their honest opinion about the treatment outcomes and assessment.
4. What do their patients think about them?
You should ask around with your friends and family to see if anyone knows a good acupuncturist. If none of your friends know anyone. You can also look at their website , see if they have a lot of reviews and testimonials.

5. Do they offer free consultations?
Your acupuncturist should be open to discuss your health concerns and situation before you commit to treatment. This will help assure you that Chinese medicine is the right choice for you as not everyone is familiar with the benefits of acupuncture treatment.
