HM Acupuncture In Upper East Side

I love going here. I have multiple issues that I’ve been dealing with for years and this has been the only respite from the symptoms. Would highly recommend making an appointment.

If you are looking for a serious acupuncturist on the Upper East side, you have found it. Dr. Shuang Huo is excellent, she is highly trained and very serious about what she does. At my first appointment she met me first in her office and discussed my medical history. Many acupuncturists will vaguely ask what is bothering you then start with the needles. Dr. Huo wants to fully understand everything that is going on so she can treat you. She also offers weekend appointments and takes my CIGNA insurance which is very convenient. Very professional office, a total breeze!

When the symptoms of bells palsy presented! I knew I had to go for acupuncture. I searched on the Internet and found HM acupuncture and reviewed their website and read how they catered to patients with my specific medical condition.
I knew I wanted the best and I indeed found the best acupuncturists. I speak with experience as this was not my first time to receive acupuncture treatment.
Dr. Jin, I found not only to be technically proficient, precise, educated and knowledgeable, but also to have a wonderful demeanor. He is extraordinarily positive, confident and soft-​spoken, which I desperately needed at this time to feel calm and reassured. I walked in with half my face paralyzed, unaware of whether I would recover or if I would recover when;I left feeling tremendously reassured and optimistic.
After a few treatments, I started to notice improvement. I felt my nerves in my face twitching and tingling which were all very positive signs and gave me such encouragement. Initially I went three times a week in my chronic state and then proceeded to go two times a week. Tomorrow morning will be five weeks and I would estimate my recovery is at 90% .
I’ve read much recently about traditional Chinese medicine to gain a better understanding of something so foreign to most of us Westerners, but in my opinion while TCM and acupuncture works, much is in the hands of the indigenous practitioner.
Dr. Jin has had the extensive medical training in China (analagous to a medical physician in the U.S. going to medical school and undergoing an internship) and many years of experience.
I am 100% confident in Dr. Jin’s knowledge and ability!
Beyond my recovery of bells palsy, I’m going to continue with Dr. Jin to help me with other ailments and conditions that I feel his acupuncture treatment will help cure and stabilize.
I highly recommend this Accupuncture practice !

Ah, my favorite member of my medical team! Her office is a little out of the way for me, but the trip is always worth it. Flexible hours, weekend availability, and most important– has been a miracle worker when it comes to relieving my aches and pain! Instead of pills and pricey spa treatments that did nothing for me, I now to go to her to get all the kinks out and to rejuvenate my body and soul. I always leave her sessions feeling like i’ve just been reborn! She is excellent, and i don’t know what i’d do without her. Please open a midtown location! I’d be there every week =)

I highly recommend Shuang Huo’s practice. I’ve been going for several months. I didn’t really know anything about acupuncture and had never gone before, but was always curious. Thanks to my insurance, I was able to go for a very reasonable rate, 20 times a year. I originally went to Dr. Huo to treat general tension in my wrists from computer use and also to boost my immune system after having been very sick the previous year. Within only a few treatments, my wrists felt more relaxed than they had in years. I didn’t even think it was possible for them to feel that way again, while still using the computer the same amount. She has also helped pain in my knees and in my chest. I feel better in general from going and really enjoy the hour. Dr. Huo is very kind, patient, and professional. She never pushes anything, but is great at giving her recommendations. The office is in a perfect location near Park Avenue and the rooms are very quiet and relaxing. I highly recommend!

Shuang is an incredibly gifted practitioner. She has helped me with neurological issues, muscle aches, headaches, digestive issues and even the common cold. She’s intuitive, cares about her patients, and is very flexible in terms of scheduling.
I’ve been to a few acupuncturists in the past, and none can hold a match to Shuang.
For those patients whose insurance does not cover acupuncture, she has a pay-​in-​advance-​for-​four sessions get the fifth free deal.

This office takes my Minnesota Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance. It is difficult to find a medical provider, and even more difficult to find an Acupuncturist taking my insurance in the city. In fact, my insurance has a very good coverage of Acupuncture. Before finding Dr. Huo, I had to do all insurance paperwork my own, and mailed it back to MN to get reimbursement. Though it is not as complicated as things to IRS, still it is headache ever time to do it.
This is a typical medical style office one shall expect by the Park Avenue of the Upper East Side, while its staff and acupuncturists are more like staffs and doctors I met in Minnesota. Besides, my appointment is always on time here, and I am able to come to the office during my lunch time.
This is an office I would like to recommend to my friends as well as my coworkers !

Highly recommended this office. This office is truly an Acupuncture place accepting medical insurance like other medical doctors. Not giving you a receipt while you pay yourself first.
In addition, this is a medical type acupuncture office, and there is no other service in this place.

When I first came to Shuang, I had a debilitating health condition deemed a «medical anomaly» by modern medicine.
I had lived almost a year in complete agony. It was starting to take its toll on my job & my relationship.
The doctors offered no hope of recovery nor short term solution. At first, they told me I had a brain tumor, then an auto-​immune disorder. I began to lose the will to live.
Shuang however was always positive. She was confident of the body’s natural ability to heal itself. She made it clear that it would take significant effort on my part, but if I was committed to correcting the imbalance, I would find wellness again.
I saw her two times a week for almost a half a year. During this time, I learned to look inward and discover how my diet & lifestyle influenced my illness. Shortly after, I experienced the first signs of relief.
Today, I am completely healthy again. I owe my life to this woman. I started off broken, and emerged a warrior. I still continue to receive treatment, for I believe it is essential to fighting illness before it starts.
Accupuncture works & can provide relief for a variety of ailments – physical & spiritual.
I can not think of a more knowledgeable & kind person to go to. She is a true healer!

Highly recommend this office. I went to Dr Shuang Huo for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, and a bacterial infection. I’d previously sought treatment from several physicians and specialists but did not get relief from any of the medications or diets prescribed. I was finally referred by a top Gastroenterologist in NYC to Shuang.
I was skeptic at first, as I never thought that Acupuncture would tackle complicated medical problems, especially I have already tried many solutions. But the Gastroenterologist insisted me to do so. Beyond my expectation, I began to experience symptom relief including the cession of diarrhea and acid reflux discomfort just after the second or third treatment. Those symptoms have not returned. In addition, (and unexpectedly) I also found relief from insomnia and anxiety and my energy level increased significantly. These benefits appeared slowly and have also lasted. They made me realize how much anxiety and insomnia contributed to the irritable bowel problem.
I cannot recommend Shuang highly enough. The relief that she has brought me gave me back my life. Irritable bowel syndrome tends to cause a person to isolate; it increases anxiety and depression and fosters insomnia. Acupuncture has broken this cycle for me.

I really loved this place, Dr Huo was great — very knowledgeable and compassionate. My only disappointment was that there was confusion over my insurance and I wasn’t covered so I could only afford the first appt! But if it’s in your price range I would def recommend it!

I don’t normally leave a review, especially a good review, but I feel very tempted to do so after receiving good services at this place.
Dr. Huo is a wonderful, compassionate and accommodating OMD. I have been seeing her for over 2 months now and genuinely feel as though she has thoroughly helped me with my various and complex health issues. I feel remarkably better since I began seeing her. She has always been flexible with scheduling and she begins appointments punctually.
The best thing I like is that she closely monitors the progress and is upfront and direct about not wasting my time (or money), if I am not feeling improvement after only a few sessions. I find this honesty and straight forwardness refreshing in the alternative medicine world. I would (and do) highly recommend seeing her if you are in need of acupuncture.
