Acupuncture Health Center

Dr Lena is great. I tried a few other places before trying her. She reminds me of my mother in law (I’m white and my husband is Korean). They are both smart, very knowledgable and ask the right questions. I felt instantly comfortable with dr Lena and am hopeful that with her help and my IVF doctors we will be happily pregnant soon. I’ll update this post once we’ve got good news!

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 6 months and I was starting to freak out a bit since it hadn’t happened yet. I went to a different acupuncture place a couple months back and nothing had worked. I was a bit skeptical about acupuncture by now and this place since it was in a basement and she preferred cash.
Let me let all of you know Dr. Zhao knows her shit and is very reasonably priced. After 4 sessions I’M PREGNANT!!!
For anyone in the same boat, definitely try acupuncture first. It works!!!

She is wonderful: caring, reasonably priced, and very skilled. I have been seeing Dr Zhao periodically for three years and never fail to achieve pain relief after a course of treatment. She is the real deal – studied in Beijing – you’ll get no frilly, new-​age bunk from her – just sheer expertise. Love her! Recommend highly!

The care Dr. Li Na Zhao has given me during my numerous visits to the Acupuncture Health Care Center since my lower spine surgery has greatly helped my recovery. Dr. Zhao is a consummate professional. At the beginning of each visit she asks about my symptoms and current levels of discomfort, listens carefully, compares my responses to those I gave during my last visit, and then proceeds with treatment. I leave each session feeling better, with my body-​aches and backaches alleviated. These positive results evolve and persist after I leave the office, and my lower back continues to improve. Dr. Zhao and her treatments are critical components in my journey to a full recovery.
Dr. Zhao is immensely kind, thoughtful, and respectful. She is an excellent practitioner.

Dr Lina is wonderful!!! She helped me through every step of my infertility journey, which ended up with a successful pregnancy. She is an expert in helping improve fertility with acupuncture (she leveled all my hormones out), in addition to providing me with amazing nutrition advice and herb support. She works amazingly well giving acupuncture support during the IVF process. I would not be pregnant without her! She is kind and caring. The best doctor. Thanks so much for everything Dr Lina.

Best acupuncturist in New York City. Peaceful office and treatment rooms. I had a shoulder injury and Dr. Lena Zhao alleviated my pain and brought swift recovery through her precise and experienced acupuncture. I cannot say enough to recommend this very kind and empathetic doctor.

I would give zero stars if that was an option. First of all, the location located on Unilocal and on the company’s website is not accurate. It is actually on 85^th & 1^st. After speaking with the Dr. on the phone twice, I decided to go for an appointment. When I got there, I was taken in to a room that closes with a curtain. It was next to the bathroom so I heard the toilet flushed numerous times as well as the sink running. Because of the open ceiling, the fluorescent lighting could not be dimmed or closed. Def not a zen atmosphere. The Dr. did a fine job with the treatment, however, when I went to pay ($ 90 cash-​if you pay with a debit or credit card it is ($ 115), she told me that follow up visits are $ 70. In the beginning of my session and on the phone she said $ 60. I confronted her about this and she denied us even ever talking about it. Shady.

Dr Li Na’s treatments helped me conceive my second child after 4 years of infertility and losses. She is highly knowledgable about infertility and assisted reproductive techniques so she will work with your natural or ART cycle to help infertile women achieve a successful pregnancy. She has a kind and patient demeanor and is obviously highly skilled in her field. She made recommendations to my general diet and lifestyle which also helped. I saw her for a year. In that time I «overheard» many other satisfied patients come through her offices. Some got pregnant within just a few months! She also looks after many other ailments, not just infertility.
Her office is small and not fancy and she runs it herself so be prepared that if her phone rings she will leave your session to answer it. So her service is no frills, but highly effective and what is more important? I highly recommend her, even if you are seeking western medicine for your ailment. Her eastern medical treatments can help or supplement your medical plan.

Kidney stones — the most painful episode anyone can ever experience (and yes my wife had given birth without the epidoral and she found labor to be painless). She woke up in the morning in pain due to kidney stones. She could barely walk, tears were falling down her cheeks and I couldn’t make her feel comfortable in any way. She hopped into a taxi, saw Dr. Zhao for one hour and walked home with her back straight!!!
Dr. Zhao is a gifted acupuncturist who clearly does this work because she loves the work. She called my wife a few hours later to see how she was feeling. If you need results based care, then please see Dr. Zhao.

She is now at 330 E 85^th St.
She was great – and very reasonably priced. She tries really hard and is very invested in each client. One caveat: She is very, very intense and that can hurt a bit. But to me it was worth it. She often gave extra long sessions with no extra charge; she accommodated my schedule every time. Her prices are unbeatable for the UES. Also, there are no distracting «extras,» which fancier places use to hike up the bill (hot stones, body rolling, etc). She knows her stuff and sticks to it with the traditional methods. No trendy distractions. Would recommend highly.
