I enjoyed my first session with Frank very much, and everything from interior to the ambiance of his office. He was very thorough listening to me as well as utilizing a couple different methods of healing besides acupuncture. I will be back!

Frank did a wonderful job on my very first acupuncture! My back and neck pain improved on the first session as well as my anxiety. He explained everything well. Lastly,his clinic is just a few steps away from Penn Station which is very convenient from clients from NJ.

I cannot say enough great things about Frank! My initial appointment with him was in January 2020, and I was seeking acupuncture mostly to help with fertility treatments (after two failed/cancelled IVF cycles). This was my first experience with acupuncture, and I was somewhat of a skeptic; my fertility specialist said it was a "can't hurt; might help" intervention. Frank put me at ease immediately, and has consistently been thoughtful and caring in his approach. Acupuncture treatments with Frank seem to have helped my fertility (my most recent IVF cycle showed enormously improved results), and have also had beneficial effects for my depression/anxiety, as well as plantar fasciitis pain I had been experiencing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Frank has put precautions in place that allow me to continue to feel safe and relaxed in his office. Acupuncture with Frank is always a highlight of my week!

This was my 2nd visit and it was just as satisfying as the 1st, if not more, because the initial visit review was done. I love the way he explains everything behind what and why things are being done a certain way. He gives me a full picture of what is bin done to manage and treat my ailments. He explains that this traditional Chineses wellness has been used in China for thousands of years so you can't argue with that !!! I let feeling great and that's all that matters, scheduling my session 3 !!!
I love the way Frank listens to my complaints each week and I can tell he tries very hard to get to the root of my problems and to help me examine myself more clearly. He is patient, kind and always puts my comfort first, which is very important to me. I also like how he prepares me in the cases when he expects I might feel an unusual sensation. I first started seeing Frank for insomnia and gastrointestinal issues due to western meds. At the time of our first treatment, I was taking sleeping pills every night. After a few treatments, the GI problems subsided and the insomnia has greatly improved. It used to take me hours to fall asleep and I couldn’t stay asleep. Now I fall asleep soon upon lying down, and I can get through most nights without sleeping pills. In addition, Frank has helped me calm down the busyness of my life. Frank is an excellent Acupuncturist and a wonderful person. I truly enjoy our sessions.
Frank is friendly, patient and listens attentively when I describe my current complaints. He is knowledgeable, straightforward and explains what he is doing and why. Best of all, his needle technique is good; I hardly feel the needles. After a couple of treatments with acupuncture and herbs, my allergies improved tremendously.
I couldn’t recommend Frank enough. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and good at what he does. He has helped me so much with PMS, digestion, body heat regulation and more. He is very kind with a good presence and goes above and beyond for his clients. One time I was dealing with stress when I came in so he did a guided meditation with me while the needles were in which helped tremendously. I used to be afraid of needles so I was hesitant to try acupuncture but I’m so glad I did it with him. Great experience.
Frank is a very knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring practitioner. With his treatments, I’ve experienced a great improvement in my overall health. He has reduced my anxiety, improved my sleep, and regulated my digestion. Over the year of treatment, he has helped me with all the issues I came to him for, and if I find myself developing any new issues, I will return for treatment with Frank.
I had my first session of acupuncture with Frank to treat plantar fasciitis and it has worked far better than any drug or other intervention I have tried. Within minutes of having the needles placed I could feel fluttering and other sensations within my body...and the pain, which I had been experiencing for weeks literally disappeared within five minutes. I have felt remarkably better from just a few sessions of acupuncture with Frank and I highly recommend it. He really is the best.
Frank’s calm demeanor inspires calm in me. He is knowledgeable and willing to answer questions and explain what he is doing. This inspires confidence. Frank is attentive and caring and willing to take his time and spend the time needed. I’m not able to lie on my stomach or side; Frank’s knowledge and expertise give him the flexibility to treat me in any position in which I’m comfortable. What improved: Increased calm; decreased pain in my normally very painful feet and ankles. I return to Frank because he makes me feel better!
Frank is an incredibly thoughtful, caring, and intuitive acupuncturist. I’ve had several appointments with Frank and each time, he creates a supportive atmosphere that has put me at ease, explaining everything throughout the session. I would highly recommend Frank for anyone who is seeking acupuncture.
Frank is an exceptional acupuncturist. He took a very detailed history of my health before treating me. He also updates it during each visit. He has helped me with muscle pain, menstrual pain and irregularity, and anxiety. His facility is always clean and inviting. I always feel a huge relief in my symptoms after seeing him.
