“Humble location with excellent service. Dr Paek was awesome and explained everything in an un-rushed and thoughtful way. He’s very good and knowledgeable. I live in Brooklyn and commute past many acupuncturists into Manhattan because I have not found someone who matches his knowledge, expertise, and thoughtfulness the way that he does. Highly recommend.”

“I had such an incredible acupuncture experience this evening. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt calming and welcoming, but what truly made the difference was the doctor’s amazing energy,so warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. I walked in with discomfort in my elbow and left feeling a noticeable improvement, with so much more ease in my movement.
Highly recommend to anyone looking not just for treatment, but for true healing. I’m so grateful and already looking forward to my next appointment.

Dr. Paek provides great treatment and also is very kind in his approach to care, listening very carefully to my issue, and in giving advice to continue to care for myself after the visit. A great listener who clearly remembers everything we talked about in previous visits.

I use acupuncture for balance digestion sleep and general wellness. Initially started with a different practice and ended up trying Dr Pak will never go back he is IT. Will be loyal to him going forward recommend his practice to anyone new or seasoned and think the absolute world of this wonderful unique doctors treatment as a human and patient. It is impossible to feel uncomfortable in his care guarantee you will leave feeling 10 times better than entry. Excellent flexible hours I love that Saturday is an option! The best in the game in the city of New York this is a real honest review for this outstanding practice. Thank you for everything Dr Pak and staff!
March 25, 2026Darryl D.Verified patient
After a couple of treatments with Dr. Chul Paek, I finally got relief for a stubborn hip pain from an old injury that wouldn't respond to PT, chiropractic adjustments or otherpractitioners. His needling technique and pain reduction skills are second to none and I highly recommend him to anyone who navigates chronic pain.
Also, he's very kind and patient - never feels rushed.
