Bliss Acupuncture Wellness Clinic

Wonderful, peaceful place! Dr. Daniel was very informative pertaining to how to heal my skin. I was given a «Bliss Eczema Care List» which was very helpful in me healing from the inside out (something the mainstream health system never tells you). Eating super clean partnered with a stress free environment during acupuncture at Bliss aided in me seeing tremendous results. Loved the complimentary massages too! :)

I had a magnificent experience here. For over a year I had been taking sleeping medication to help me sleep everyday. Through acupuncture and doctor Daniel’s treatment, I have been able to take myself off sleeping aids and go back to a natural sleeping pattern.
The positive effect of this treatment rippled throughout all aspects of my life — I did not realize until after I stopped taking PM medicine that it was causing memory loss and making it difficult to focus — which made me depressed and also gain weight.
I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am with me acupuncture treatment and how eternally grateful I am of Doctor Daniel, you saved my life doc. THANK YOU.

My daughter and I just went through the 9 day detox together. Other reviewers have described the process in detail, so I will skip that. As Dr. Yi says, it takes 66 days to fully change habits, and I have a lot of habits to break after 69 years — consistent weight training to build muscles, much more water, no/​very few carbs after 2 pm, etc. with the goal of maintaining a healthy balance of fat, muscle and water in the diet. (On this program we are allowed Funday Sunday– one day a week where rules can be broken). I am not doing this to lose weight, as I am not overweight, but for overall health.
I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Yi! He is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and explains thing very well. I am finally understanding why I actually should do all these things that I have known for a long time are important.
My daughter, being much younger, sees results much sooner (i.e. increased muscle mass). He has also helped her with skin issues. But Dr. Yi assures me I will get there also.
Very very happy with this program and with Dr. Yi. I plan to work with him on other issues, such as neuropathy.

My mom has been a professional singer for over 25 years. Hence, when she strained her vocal cord and couldn’t perform anymore, she was devastated. Her voice was shaky even when she spoke and singing was out of the picture. Searching for the cause and cure, she went to multiple doctors none of which can identify the reason. She even visited Korea to get tested by top specialists but they told her that she would never be able to sing. When she returned to the States, she went to see Dr. Yi as a last strand of hope. As he does with all his patients, he took the time to listen to her and really observe all her symptoms. When he told her that she would be able to recover, she couldn’t believe him right away but felt hopeful. She continued to go in for treatment and took herbal medicine for couple of weeks. She’s been seeing drastic improvements and even began singing. Dr. Yi didn’t just help a patient but returned to our family joy and hope. We sincerely thank him and recommend him very highly.

I am currently in treatment with Dr. Yi and Dr. Lim to help relieve my TMJ pain. I have had TMD for almost a decade, on and off; but had chronic pain from it for at least 6 months now. It has even caused an open bite/​malocclusion of my teeth. Not only was the right side of my face in constant pain; my speech changed, my teeth grinding got worse, and I couldn’t enjoy all my favorite chewy foods like bagels and Haribo gummy bears.
Working with Dr. Yi and Dr. Lim has been a huge relief. After 3 sessions with them, I have had major improvements. For anyone who has TMD, I highly recommend these 2. I start with an acupuncture session with Dr. Yi then a chiropractic session with Dr. Lim. I have seen just about every kind of specialist you can think of for my TMJ pain and never had so much success in a short amount of time until now.

This review is for Dr. Yi:
Overall impression: 4.4 stars. With Chinese medicine, 5 stars is best reserved for doctors with many decades of experience. Even so, Dr. Yi is a very good physician whom I highly recommend for skin issues. The pricing for herbs seemed expensive at first, but I asked him and learned that he gives you a much higher dosage than other doctors might, since he has a specialist’s knowledge.
Having seen a good number of MDs and some acupuncturists over the years without complete eradication of my acne problem, I consider myself very fortunate to have found an English-​speaking TCM doctor who cares as much as he does, and who has just the specialty and education background (China) I was looking for.
Room for improvement: There’s a discount if you pay for a few months’ treatment at once, but policy prevents you from benefitting from this once you’ve started treatment. This is not Dr. Yi’s policy but I would’ve appreciated a heads-​up.
Details:
My situation: 22 yr. old male, also happen to be interested in studying TCM in China.
Acne: ~10 years, cystic with past scars. Recently very bad. Did Accutane and antibiotics ~7 years ago without eradicating the problem. Chest blemishes would keep bleeding before I started seeing Dr. Yi.
Chronic fatigue: 5 minute walks in the park made me tired. No exaggeration. Low energy also gives me very poor focus most of the day.
Digestion: Chronic indigestion for ~7 years. GI doctor found nothing after endoscopy. Food stays stuck in my lower abdomen for hours after a meal. Reading and other mental activity after eating easily upset my stomach. I always need to take a walk after meals to digest properly.
Results: Very promising. Have been on herbs for 7 weeks now. For my acne, Dr. Yi gives me 3 week batches and we do a follow up treatment between every batch. In the weeks between, I give him a phone call update.
Facial acne is clearing up. Less redness, barely any cysts. Still have whiteheads, but this is a sign that «heat» is escaping and things are getting better.
Digestion is slowly but surely getting better. My bowel movements used to be very loose but are now all consistently formed, which is a sign that things are improving according to TCM.
Bedside manner: At the top of my list of doctors I trust most. Refreshingly attentive, patient and professional.
The first time I called to inquire about treatment, we talked for about an hour, something I have never done with other healthcare providers, even in person. We’ve done this on other occasions as well, since I have many questions about my condition and about studying TCM in China. He always gives me as much time as I need to ask all my questions and answers very thoroughly. He has also given me a lot of advice on what to do if I want to be a successful acupuncturist here. One day, I didn’t have time to finish asking all my questions on the phone and thought I’d have to talk to him at my next visit. But the next day he happened to have 10 minutes to spare and I received an unexpected phone call from him, which showed me the kind of commitment he has.

Bliss changed my life!!!
I had totally wrecked my back doing literally nothing last year and had been going to a chiropractor once or twice a week for months. The issue never really went away and my back went out again a few months ago. A coworker suggested I go here and I was not disappointed. They got me in promptly and after 1 session my back immediately felt better. after the second session, I had no more pain. Dr. Yi, thank you!

I suffered with acne all my life (now adult acne) and came to Dr. Yi at the worst time of my skin condition. I am somewhat familiar with Chinese medicine and know how powerful it can be. I went through several weeks of taking herbal medicine and the progress was so obvious! The best part is that Dr. Yi is very caring and reachable whenever I had questions about my diet and activities I was going to do and how it would affect my skin (very rare type of care in NYC). Once, when I got nasty cold while on herbs, he helped me with natural remedies so I wouldn’t have to take antibiotics and mess up the progress we achieved.
After the herbal treatment, I did 10 sessions of MTS to help with my scarring (which I accumulated over 15 year period). And once again, tremendous progress. I have to note that I am not done and not «cured» completely, but Dr. Yi was able to do what others couldn’t, and most important, he is not quitting on me (my past dermatologist told me that there is nothing he can do for me at this point since I don’t want to go on accutane). We will continue herbs with some external treatment.
I have to say that even after I am done with this issue, I will still stay around for some acupuncture and overall wellbeing. I highly recommend Dr. Yi to anyone who is seeking other than western medicine solution.

I had postpartum care with hanyak after my third baby. For the first time, I felt like I needed something to help me recover. My third pregnancy (during and after) was much more difficult. my body took a toll physically after 3 pregnancies and most likely due to being older.
My one concern was that the hanyak would affect my baby because I was breastfeeding, but she was not and is very healthy and happy.
I felt the hanyak restored my body. I felt less fatigued and weak. My bones and joints felt stronger. My energy levels were great!
Overall, my recovery was much faster with the help of hanyak. I strongly recommend postpartum care to all moms!

I’m so glad that I went to see Dr. Yi at Bliss Acupuncture. I had terrible back pain that wouldn’t go away for a few days so I called the office to make an appointment. People who work here are very professional and courteous. I was able to make an appointment for the next day easily.
After two sessions with Dr. Yi, my back pain was nearly gone and I was able to walk like a normal person! He was very thorough in diagnosis and treatment. He showed that he cares for his patients in everything that he does. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for back pain relief!

I had bad neck and shoulder pain with occasional numbness and tingling due to sitting in front of the computer all day long. Under Daniel’s care with a combination of acupuncture and massage my pain has gone away. I would highly recommend Daniel for anyone suffering from pain. He is attentive and really takes the time to explain everything.

I first saw Dr. Daniel a couple years ago when I was having terrible skin problems for a few months, super itchy, hives breaking out all over my body. I’ve never had any problems before so it was very concerning. My dermatologist and other doctors had no idea what it could be. So I thought I might try a different route — I found Bliss online and saw the wonderful reviews about Dr. Daniel so I booked an appointment. He gave me some Chinese herbal packets to take for a week, and by day 3 they were completely gone, and didn’t return even after I stopped taking the packets.
I recently went back to him again because I had wanted to do a detox, not necessarily lose a lot of weight, just to rid my body of toxins and maybe a couple extra pounds. Well, it SURPASSED what I could have hoped for! I got down to a healthy weight that I never thought was even attainable — a weight that I have haven’t been since high school (20 years ago). Dr. Daniel is very thorough and explains everything so clearly. He’s very supportive when you go in for your weigh-​ins though also lets you know where and how you can improve on the results from week to week.
I would 100% recommend him to anyone! He will be my first choice doctor to go to from now on because I trust him so much.

I went through the Detox Reset program with Dr. Daniel Yi and it’s changed my life. They have this really cool Korean machine that tells me exactly how much fat vs muscle vs water is in my weight. We started with that and it was determined I should lose 7 lbs of fat (I completely agree with this — it’s very reasonable for my height). I went through the 11 day program and lost all 7 lbs of fat. I won’t go into the details but essentially, the reset got me to where I am and I have go change my lifestyle going forward to stay healthy — that means no carbs after 2pm while I’m trying to lose weight and minimal carbs after 2pm to maintain. I LOVE carbs so this is harder for me but knowing that I can still eat it before 2pm makes this very manageable.
Some might say losing this much weight this quickly is dangerous. To that I say «whatever». I needed to kick start my diet and slow and steady doesn’t work for me (I like to see quick results). Also, Dr. Yi said that most people don’t lose that much, I was overeating so much before the detox that just cutting calories helped me to burn fat like crazy. The key really is this machine they have. I’ve been lifting more weights and sometimes I really don’t know if the weight lifting is doing anything for me but this machine tells me each time that I’m gaining a little bit of muscle each week — it encourages me to keep lifting weights. Standing on a regular scale doesn’t tell you anything. This machine is magical.
Sustainability — It’s been about a month and while I had a bad week where I gained a couple of lbs back because I had too many social outings, I now know exactly what I need to do to trim back. I’ve been going every week to weigh in and get acupuncture for overall wellness (e.g., stress reduction, digestion help). I also see their chiropractor named Dr. Lim (or Lin?) — he’s great too. Heavy handed but gets the job done in helping with my back pain.
Everyone in this office is great! They’re flexible with appointments including evenings and take insurance. I highly recommend this office.

I suffer from adult acne. I had pretty good skin up until college. When it came to that crucial time of applying for jobs before graduation, that’s when I noticed the first «PIMPLES»
It was all downhill from that point on. Tried several rounds of antibiotics. Only helpful while medicated. When I stopped, things just got worse and worse. I had pustules, nodular kind, cystic kind and pretty much everything in between. My confidence took a shot. Self-​esteem dropped. Then I tried Accutane, then laser therapy, chemical peeling (that burns a lot). I guess these work for some of the acne suffers. Well, they didn’t work for me.
I was literally running out of options, getting depressed and well hmm lonely. I did some online search and came across Bliss. Their approach sounded different. I chose the downtown office for its location being close to where I work. I’ve been working with Dr. Daniel Yi for past month and a half and I’m so elated with the progress. He’s caring and professional. His herbal medicine addresses my acne from within and at the same time facial extraction from his esthetician cares for the issue from the outside. The combined effort has been giving me more hope than in my past 10 years of dealing with acne. I’ll post updates. Stay tuned.

I had really bad cystic acne for two years. I first took antibiotics from my dermatologist and my acne did go away but after I stopped taking them after half a year it came right back. I decided to take them again but the same thing happened. It went away then came back. I wanted a permanent solution so I decided to go see acupuncturist Daniel Yi. He asked me thoroughly about my symptoms in order to give me a treatment specific to my needs. After a couple of weeks I noticed a huge improvement. The cysts went down as well as the redness. Within the second month all of my cysts were gone and my only concern was scarring and redness. I’m in my third month and the redness went down a lot and I’m planning to get facial extractions as well. With makeup on i can harcly see the scars. I am very happy that the cysts are gone and that it went away with a natural remedy that doesn’t mess with the rest of my body’s system. I am very grateful to Dr. Daniel Yi.

I wish there’re more stars I can give to Dr Daniel Yi!
I had injured my left hip joint area about 6 months ago, and had been in pain even after visiting Physical Therapist (about 5 times over 2 months).
The pain was persistent and the stiffness of muscle around hip and thigh was getting worse — I could only stretch my left leg less than 45 degree.
After I got the treatment from Dr Daniel for 3 times, the flexibility of my muscle came back almost 90%. During the session, he took a lot of time to explain about the possible causes and treatment options.
I would totally recommend him for anyone who’s interested in acupuncture.
