I have been going to BAP for years, and always get great results. All the practitioners I have interacted with are great. But Davin.....Davin is in a class by himself. He is a natural healer. He is great at what he does, he has this extra human touch....did I say Davin is a healer? Every time I am seen by Davin, I leave BAP feeling well, spiritually, physically and mentally. read more

I've been coming here fora while now and I love it. The space is so clean, lovely and serene. Plant life, salt lamps, and soft meditative music in a natural light filled loft is the vibe. The protocols for Covid-19 prevention are meticulous, from pre-screening online, continuous mask wearing, temperature checks, hand washing and sanitization after each client. I had multiple issues with my body and having Kidada as an acupuncturist/practitioner has been excellent. If you need acupuncture, cupping, Chinese herbs, reiki, etc. with excellent care.... this is the place to come. read more

See all

Amazing practitioners and such a great track record of providing affordable care for so many years.

I love love love coming here. All the therapists are wonderful. The vibe is peaceful and healing. The rates are so reasonable. So easy to book, so accommodating. I highly recommend BAP. read more

Good vibes, solid humans. Deep healing fills the air. I felt seen and cared for. The space was intentional and beautiful. I will go back and will send friends (and strangers). read more

Stephanie seemed rushed to get to the next customer. I felt like I was in a conveyor belt. If I asked questions the responses were very quick as if there wasn't enough time. I rarely got my full 20 minutes. Most times I did not have a conversation beforehand for her to know my needs for the session. I always leave not knowing what her focus was for the session. The website says she uses cupping but when I asked she said she does not. The service feels more rushed than anything else. read more

I hate leaving negative reviews for places staffed with good-hearted people, but my experience here was not great. The tiny reception area is welcoming, and the woman who greeted me was friendly . When it was time for my session, I was guided into a small space (this is Brooklyn, after all ) and given a consultation, which was whispered. Next, I received the acupuncture treatment, which was fine. Nothing too exciting. However, at the end of the treatment... something felt off. The acupuncturist actually forgot needles in my ankle! To top that off, when I sat up (topless!) I realized that there were two men also receiving treatments, on the massage tables next to mine. It would have been really nice to know that strangers were about to see my chubby chest cheeks before I got up. read more

I love Brooklyn Acupuncture Project. Everyone here is warm, heartfelt and friendly. I've worked with four different acupuncturists and they're all friendly, professional and overall nice people. The vibe is cozy and relaxed, with soft music in the background, light incense burning and a harmonious and soothing vibe enveloping the space. I always fall asleep during treatment because it's such a cozy, quiet place. Sarah is my primary acupuncturist here and she is wonderful. She is gentle and sensitive and always asks how my week or day was while she takes my pulse and reads my tongue. I can tell that she enjoys her work and believes in what she does which goes a long way for me and my treatment. She also gives me some nutritional advice from time to time which I appreciate since I am always trying to make the healthiest decisions for my body and welcome learning new holistic ways to take care of myself. Jen and Kerry are also wonderfully skilled acupuncturists that I've had the pleasure of working with but due to scheduling can't make the days they work. -- My schedule has changed again and since I've been working with Melissa. She is helping me tremendously. I found my Brooklyn Acupuncture home :-) This is the center of my week. read more

I came here several times after my herniated disk. My first experience with acupuncture ever was with Sarah Chase (the founder apparently) and she was the best. Gave me a relaxing quick oil massage after (which I believe is typically extra). Afterwards, it was difficult to get an appointment with her due to my schedule (and now she's in Ecuador giving treatment to others). She's the best. Sometimes you meet new human beings and you can just tell what type of people they are by the warmth in their eyes. Afterwards, I saw Rachel and the experience was just... ok. First time I felt something was lit on fire on my back. Melissa had also treated me as well and so did Po-Hong. Out of the three, I think Po-Hong suits me best as the amount of penetration? seemed to be just right. If the needle is too far in, there's extreme twitching/ pain. read more

I had a really good experience here and had a felt a huge improvement after only one session (which i was not expecting!) The studio is clean and calming, and the practitioner who worked on me was very nice and made me feel comfortable. Unbelievable value for the sliding scale price, which thankfully makes it possible to afford more sessions to feel the full effect of the treatment. read more

Change my life, why don't you, BAP? Good lord. I had never had acupuncture before I went to Brooklyn Acupuncture Project. My mom, aunt, and cousin all claim that acupuncture has helped them with various ailments - most significantly, my mom had some pretty serious carpal tunnel in her wrist that her job had paid for her to get physical therapy to help - but nothing helped more than acupuncture, which literally obliterated the problem. Like most of the other reviewers, I never considered this treatment because it is usually very expensive and I don't have insurance - yay America! :P - and also because having had many, many spinal taps in my life, I have had quite enough of needles, thank you. Or so I thought. When my cousin found BAP, there was really no excuse anymore. We all know I can suck it up for some major stabbing in my lumbar 4 and 5 (hey, I only cried the time they missed and hit my vertibrae!), and with the amazing sliding scale, this is an entirely afforable treatment. Also, after seeking Wesatern medical treatment *multiple times* for my heel fracture when I had school health insurance, and being told *multiple times* that I should just take ibuprofin.. and the pain got worse and worse... well, clearly it was time for acupuncture. I cannot speak highly enough about BAP. Aside from the fact that each treatment only costs me $18, the environment is soothing and comfortable, the staff professional, and the location convenient. I have had my appointments with Michael, who is gentle and sweet, and very attentive. He even emailed me a list of herbs I should buy to soak my heel in to help with the recovery process. It was incredibly gratifying when, upon telling him the story about my heel fracture, he shook his head and looked geuinely upset, on my behalf, at my Western practioner. The first treatment helped a lot. Acupuncture doesn't exactly hurt, but it's sometimes uncomfortable. You sort of can't really move once the needles are inserted - and the one in my knee on the leg of my foot with the fracture was particularly uncomfortable. I'm trying to be as accurate as possible here - like when people ask me if getting tattooed hurts (it doesn't it's just uncomfortable) - acupuncture can be a little uncomfortable, but it has never hurt me. And the results are definitely worth it. After you get punctured, you sit in a calming room with exposed brick and soft lighting to have "a rest." It has never bothered me that you are with other people - in fact, I prefer it. I'm super partial to community settings, but even if you aren't, you're supposed to meditate/relax and let your qi rechannel itself anyway, so you aren't really present in the room so to speak. I really like the fact that you also get wrapped up in a tin-foil looking "cover" that makes me feel like a burrito. ;) I definitely recommend acupuncture - my pain has subsided substantially, not only in my heel but also in my shoulders, where Michael puts needles to relieve tension. It might seem strange, but it has definitely worked for me. And if you need some sort of Westernized medical explanation (which I don't, but maybe you do), Western practitioners believe that the needles stimulate nerves which release pain relieving natural chemicals. I'm so on board with the energy rechanneling though. We all know healthcare is a shitshow in this country. Brooklyn Community Acupuncture really gives me hope and makes me feel good about my health. I highly recommend Michael, but I know that all of the other practioners come highly recommended as well. Do it! read more

If you're late (by 10 min. or more), they turn you away and charge you a $20 fee - no exceptions. I had an appointment here, for which I left work 30 minutes early, but I was STILL late because the subways were tied up and I was stuck underground for 1 hr. 15 minutes waiting for my train to travel the whole whopping 5 stops from my office to the BAP office. The lights on the train kept turning on and off, and there were two high school kids joking about the apocalypse. The people here were not even remotely understanding about it, nor was the explanation for their late policy very convincing. (Apparently I'm in the same boat as Laquisha V., Sarina D., and Monica R. on this!) Conventional doctor's and dentist's offices often charge a $20 fee for no-shows and last-minute cancellations (which is quite understandable), but lateness is something they work WITH patients around because they know the patients need care, and they understand the role of compromise in scheduling for medical services. They know that there will be some fluidity in each day's schedule, they understand that daily life has its ins and outs, and they also understand that they can ultimately sort it all out. If this person comes in early and that person comes in late then hey, just switch the order of the appointments and you're back on track again. (When you're working in 15-minute increments like they are, it seems like this switch would be easier rather than harder?) You'll notice they commented to a previous yelper that you are "affecting others' experience" if you arrive late, which is true, but I DON'T know why these people think turning someone away and charging them $20 for being late is the ONLY way of ensuring that things run smoothly throughout the day. I don't know why they refuse to incorporate even a little bit of flexibility into their scheduling process and make an attempt to work WITH patients to make sure as many people as possible get the care they need, within reasonable limits. They sent me the loveliest e-mail too, which included this line to justify their policy: "we work as a whole here, practitioners, patients, and receptionists alike; so we appreciate your understanding and collaboration in this project." Are they serious? To use holism to justify a policy like this simply detracts from their credibility. Do they think we won't notice how gimmicky it sounds because it's also a subtle appeal to guilt, and they think it'll have us feeling so guilty that we won't realize there are probably other effective ways of meeting their monetary demands as well as client-service goals? (Is there a latin term for this strategy of persuasion, of appealing to guilt? I bet there is!) There are other places in the city that offer acupuncture on a sliding scale... I suggest doing additional research and making an informed decision therein. (I certainly am not coming back here, so I know I will be.) What's unfortunate is that there are probably some good practitioners working here, who are not responsible for the culture of this establishment. read more

I am so saddened that I wasn't able to have the same positive experience that so many others have had here, and I hardly ever write negative reviews. From the moment I walked in the door, the place smelled clean and looked beautiful, but the receptionist was very cold to me off the bat. I misunderstood their website, and got confused with when my appointment time is, so I was there at 12:30 instead of noon. I understand how busy they are, and that they have a late fee policy, but I was a first time customer who showed up in good faith, who also happened to be in a lot of pain. As I was leaving after rescheduling my appointment, I see from my emails that they charged me $20, which I thought was shady since the entire time I was filling out paperwork, the receptionist failed to mention that she was still going to charge me for the visit. This place is supposed to be there for people who are in financial distress. Instead I feel like I was taken advantage of for an honest mistake. I wasn't being disrespectful of their time, and considering I was a new customer, you would think they would've made an exception. I unfortunately will never go back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

"Health is not a luxury." -Brooklyn Acupuncture Project Honestly, I have had some issues with stress, headaches and shoulder pain for years, and (thought) I tried everything. Massage, chiropractors, rolfing, weird and very alternative healing practices, and just always crossed acupuncture off the list due to my fear of needles and the cost. But I finally gave it a shot, and after years of not feeling quite right I am starting to remember what normal is like. The other day I literally took the advil that I carry around with me everyday OUT of my purse, and LEFT IT AT HOME, and you know what, the needles don't even hurt, well, maybe a tiny bit sometimes, but way way less than my headaches. This community acupuncture clinic operates on a sliding scale, so for poor little ol' me I get to paying $25 a visit. If you are poorer then me, God bless you, you get to pay $18, and if you make boatloads, they'll only charge you $40 bucks. It's on the honer system. Expect to pay $10 more the first time for paperwork. Also, you will be in a room with other people. Around 2-6 other people depending on the time of day. But they are all off in dream land lounging in these chairs that lean way back, or on a massage table, depending on what conditions they are treating, so no one talks, except for the practitioner and whomever they are speaking with, but relaxing music is playing so you can't really hear them anyways. They want you to get better and stay better, and will bend over backwards to make that happen. Go. There is absolutely no reason why you should not or can not. After your life is changed forever by your enlightenment you can thank me, thank the amazing people that devote their time to this place, and thank yourself. read more

"It sounds cool, but I hate the idea of having needles stuck all over me." This is generally what I hear from friends who've never tried acupuncture before. And I get it; I was once one of them. I hate needles myself. They're painful and scary. However, when you've got ailments that make pinpricks look like, well, just pinpricks, acupuncture starts to make sense. Migraines first drove me into the arms of an Eastern medicine man in South Korea a few years ago, when the mysterious medications prescribed to me by the local Western clinician seemed too iffy and strong. Some crazy cupping bruises ensued, but the headaches vanished, along with the knots in my neck that were causing the problem. I remembered this magic trick recently, when a spate of back and knee pains pulled me out of my yoga-and-running routine. Yelp revealed that a sliding-scale acupuncture center lay just around the corner from my new NYC apartment, so I immediately made plans to submit my posterior for pincushioning. And I'm glad I did. The folks at this Gowanus gem fixed me up good, for an affordable price. When you first visit the BAP, you'll come in through the unassuming doorway, head upstairs in the elevator, and check in at the front desk. (I recommend making an appointment online first.) You're asked to pay based on your income level, then ushered into the low-lit, relaxing back room for your session, which might last an hour or two depending on what you need. The folks here get right to work, assessing your problem areas and pushing small pins into the offending tissue. After that, they'll cover you up with a heat blanket and let the needles do their work. Sometimes it hurts a bit at first, but soon, you'll find your tense muscles relaxing, in way that they won't even with a good bubble bath or massage. In fact, perhaps thanks to the peaceful music playing and the warm, welcoming atmosphere, I've seen plenty of folks fall asleep after the pins go in. After the pins come out, your acupuncturist might recommend cupping to move the blood around in your tissues, as a masseuse might with his/her hands, which means that a suction cup about an inch across is dragged over the offending area. Don't be scurred. Though you WILL look like you were mauled by a rabid octopus afterwards, you may well find that your back pain, shoulder pain or headaches are gone. Well worth it, in my book. As with a massage or physical therapy, the effects of acupuncture don't last forever. You kinda have to keep up with it, and obviously, if you've got chronic pain issues, you might need more serious help. But unlike strong meds that simply cover up the pain, acupuncture actually gets to the root of the problem, which is in and of itself a therapeutic thought for me. One that makes all that weird needle shi*t worthwhile. I definitely plan to go back, again and again, and feel so grateful that this affordable, community-minded organization exists in my 'hood! read more

This place is a wonderful solution to the monetary dilemma associated with acupuncture. It has an open, inviting feel and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There's a guideline as to how much you should pay according to your income but their basic gist is: You pay what you feel like you can afford. But even if you're a stickler the highest this will run you is $45. One caveat: Acupuncture is done in a group setting. One table and five loungy chairs in a line facing huge windows. If you're okay with sitting next to someone else, then it's fine. However, it can sometimes be a little hard to zone in and relax. Thankfully, everyone around you is aware of the situation and does their best to whisper and be as quiet as possible. All in all, the place is clean, bright, and comforting. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring. My experience was wonderful and I've already made another appointment. read more

Acupuncture saved my life. I had a debilitating chronic neck pain for close to 4 years- I thought I had tried everything in terms of detecting the problem and a cure (MRIs, CAT scans, steroid injections, physical therapy, massage to name a few) but to no avail. I was literally at my wit's end when a close friend mentioned BAP to me in passing and said it had helped her with back pain. The next day I scheduled an appointment. I was told treatment (and therefore results) were cumulative so I'd need to be consistent (at least at first) with my visits and patient with the results. I started off by going 2-3 times a week. As I gained relief (for the first time in years) I would go once a week, then every other. I have now been pain free for over a year. I still make regular appointments because of how great I feel every time I finish a session- relaxed, refreshed and calm. I have seen several practitioners, all of whom have been wonderful, kind and really listen to your needs. Thank you will never be enough. read more

I can't say enough good things about BAP. I admit I was a bit skeptical at first. I never tried acupuncture and to find out that my experience would be shared with a roomful of people... I went in open minded, chuckled a bit at the depth of their questionnaire and found myself wanting to go to acupuncture weekly. It started off for my wrist following a yoga injury that was not healing using western medicine and after a couple of visits I really embraced the "total body/mind" mission of BAP. Even though it is in a group setting no one is looking at you. Everyone is way too involved in their own healing and meditation process to care about what's going on in your direction. I've worked with a couple of the practitioners and I think I will keep up the variety. Each one has a slightly different approach and I find that only adds to the "total body" healing process. The sliding pay scale is only another amazing part of this whole process. Healing my body and mind should not force me to sell my soul. I've only felt welcomed there, never rushed. And the online booking system could not be easier. I've already recommended this place to a bunch of friends. I'm really impressed with their professionalism and approach to holistic healing for the moderate income Brooklyn-ite. It's extremely clean and the staff is nothing but friendly and soothing in their approach. Oh, and the needles don't hurt one bit! read more

I wasn't expecting to find affordable community acupuncture in New York. I thought it was just a hippie San Francisco thing. It took a full year for me to even investigate the possibility here and lo and behold- I immediately found Brooklyn Acupuncture Project within seconds of looking on yelp. Upon arrival I figured I'd see the shabby basement type set-up that encompasses the community-anything Bay Area aesthetic...but I was pleasantly surprised by the clean, modern, airy space. There's a beautiful view from the windows and I was beyond relaxed with the sun streaming in from all angles. Rez is warm, friendly, and excellent at what she does. The fact that there are a couple other people in the room getting acupunctured is so irrelevant when you're laying there being treated, falling in and out of pleasant dreams, that it's almost wholly unimportant to mention. I am a student. $18 is an unbelievable deal. BAP is a gift. I am so grateful for its existence. Go there. read more

If you've never done kind of acupuncture I recommend this place as your first experience. This was my first experience and I felt absolutely at ease and comfortable. The prices are extremely affordable in fact it's a donation-based system where they recommend how much you should pay depending on your income levels. I'll be coming back soon! read more

Great place for a relaxing acupuncture session for a great price. The price is based on an income honesty policy. I've been twice so far and had a great experience both times. The views are great. The place is clean. The therapist are experienced, qualified, and friendly. I will be returning for further treatments in the future. read more

I've been going to this Acupuncture center periodically for many years. Lately, because of a presenting need, I'm going more often, and I can attest that Donna R Hernandez is an exceptional acupuncture practitioner. She's warm, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, and has my highest recommendation. She's provided acupuncture treatments, massage body work, nutritional guidance, and information on herbs and crystals, all of which I've found to be very helpful. read more

I've been seeing Sarah, the owner, for years, and she is wonderful. Community acupuncture on a sliding scale, with other offerings (herbalism, cupping, massage, etc). Would absolutely recommend this place--everyone is warm and wonderful. read more

Sarah is awesome! Though I haven't been able to go as regularly as I would have liked, this is such a wonderful gem in Gowanus. I would just be repeating what all the Yelpers are saying--it's all very true! read more

I will admit it, I'm not really a "yelper", but I felt like I was doing an injustice to BAP for not writing a review so I joined yelp today. It has been over two months of receiving treatments and I can honestly say I feel like a new person. I was definitely sceptic when you hear something like "community acupuncture" but the place is like a sanctuary. They are incredibly clean and the atmosphere is wonderfully serene. I've been suffering from chronic back pain for most of my life after having been in a serious car accident. For the first time I feel like the layers of pain are peeling away. I have only seen Michael, but I haven't been let down for a single treatment and am so glad to have him as my acupuncturist. BAP really has change the way I operate daily. Thank you BAP!! read more

I've been coming to BAP for at least 4 years now. I regularly see Brittany Griffin. BAP is great at keeping notes on their clients here, so even if you take a little break and then come back they will be able to recall/look up your history. The location is very accesible by train and the space is very relaxing, safe and calm. I will keep coming back here as long as I am in Brooklyn. The relaxing atmosphere and expertise of their practitioners is spectacular. I love supporting this community oriented endeavour. They have a sliding scale based pay rate, which is very reasonable and allows you to choose how much you can afford to pay. Appointments are sometimes combinations of acupuncture, cupping and herbal prescriptions, and any other services they offer. It's a communal space, but they do ensure a reasonable amount of privacy, although you will receive acupuncture in one of rooms with other people also receiving treatment nearby. This has ever bothered me, as there always seems to be enough space and I kinda like that everyone is getting their relax on together. Overall a great place to go! read more

This place is a gem! Beautiful, clean and very Zen. Professional intake and my accupuncture session included cupping,(super helpful and my first experience). I highly recommend and the sliding scale is super helpful. Staff is ultra professional and I'm going back for my second time today. read more

Caring, kind and deeply humane, the practitioners at Brooklyn Acupuncture Project are committed to working with their patients on a sliding-scale, low-fee basis, true healers. I would recommend them to everyone. read more

Ok...update! After the weekend I had a chance to regroup and decided to call Brooklyn Acupuncture to see if I could speak to a manager or owner. Well, I am happy to report that I just hung up the phone with the lovely, caring and very human Sarah, who is the owner. She was eager to hear what had happened and really listened. She asked what she could do to make this right and (as you can guess) I asked for a refund of the cancellation fee. She agreed and for that I am very grateful. Thank you Sarah. This human being really appreciates it and you. I literally just walked out of this place in tears. I made an appointment for a 1 hour massage. I was SO happy to finally (as a disabled person) find a place near-ish my place where I could actually afford a massage based on the slide scale. So, I walk in...start filling out paperwork and the girl at the desk says, "you know it's $75 for the hour and a $15 membership fee?" I immediately burst into tears. I haven't had a massage in 2 years as I am terrified of someone hurting me (which has happened). Oh and to top it off...I could have a half hour massage for $40 but would still have to pay the $15. Insult and injury now. I felt there is no way I'm getting a massage here...the vibe has been ruined by pettiness. So I say, I'll just go and she says..."There's a $37 cancellation fee." By that time I couldn't breathe so I just said charge my card...it's my fault (secretly I was thinking...this is SO NOT OK). It is NOT blatantly obvious that the massage is not on a slide scale. I limped out $37 poorer (and I'm on a fixed income...I could throw up). read more

Beautiful and serene space! I had the great fortune of being treated by Chris Peacock, a very talented practitioner with compassionate presence. I came in a crying mess but his kindness and assurance helped me feel supported. After his relaxing treatment, I left feeling whole and like myself again. Will definitely return to see him! read more

Great first time experience, already scheduled my next session. My practitioner was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, skillful and helpful. Very much looking forward to my next appointment. read more

Great experience. The fact that the pay is based off of income and honors policy is enough to show the care and purpose of the business. Making an appointment online was so easy, as there are so many time slots and acupuncturist. I made my appointment a few hours before I went in. No wait. The acupuncturist was so kind and genuine. I felt very safe and she answered any questions I had. I had an intense pain in my neck when I arrived and it was actually gone when I left. I will be going again. read more

Thanks to the affordability, I have been coming here for several months for a chronic health condition. I have been very pleased with the staff and the treatments I have received. The staff are all knowledgeable and very professional and the atmosphere is peaceful and healing. There is no way I could get regular acupuncture treatments at the prices that are usually charged in other places. read more

Affordable, flexible, effective health care! I'm young and was told by two GP's, an orthopedic doctor, a chiropractor, two PTs (with X Rays and MRI's) that nothing was actually wrong with my back and that I was too young to have back pain. Except that I had terrible, constant pain- that would interrupt my sleep, that would force me off my chair at work so I could lie on the floor. I came to BAP as a last ditch effort to cure my pain, et voila! During my first appt I explained that I was nervous about acupuncture, but I didn't know what else to do. The person who first treated me was very patient and understanding. At first I went twice a week for treatment. Eventually I came once a week. Now I go every couple of months. I can sit here now and say I HAVE NO PAIN which is incredible and something I didn't think would ever happen. Life changing. Its everything you want from GP, a one stop shop. I can go in for a cold and they will help me recover faster. I can go in for back pain maintenance, but they can also treat my thumb which I jammed last week playing sports. I'm currently in the midst of this terrible skin thing, which has nothing to do with my initial back pain, but they are helping me all the same. There is a rotating cast of acupuncturists which is great- you get to try out different approaches. One of them can do something super relaxing which will leave me feeling energized, another will take a more aggressive route which may not have been as relaxing but the effects are, as I said before, life changing. Needling is totally nothing to be scared of-- it can sometimes prick a bit, or be a little strange feeling but it usually fades after a few seconds. I often fall asleep once they are done. Depending on the placement, sometimes it will feel really strange or be sore if you try to move a muscle where there is a needle hanging out. And sometimes you won't notice. They are as thin as a few strands of hair. There is no blood. They are nothing like shots. Go! Go a few times! Get your life changed! read more

Beautiful Space. Master practitioners. Affordable. Results. My passion for this place and the honor involved in them making it accessible to those of us with limited income renders me SO grateful it's hard to put into a review how deeply moved I am by what B.A.P does for its community. I have successfully convinced many friends, otherwise trepidatious about needles and acupuncture as a whole, to give it a try. It is ridiculously exciting to see the shift in psychical and mental health that takes place after a few treatments. Rachel and Sarah Chase are particularly incredible. If you're thinking about trying acupuncture, stop making excuses and try BAP- it doesn't hurt, and it IS affordable (!!!). read more

I have been to this business twice. Pros: - I was well cared for by the acupuncturist I saw. - I enjoyed the bright and airy atmosphere. Cons: - As with others, I had a bad experience with the receptionist. On my first visit, I entered and the receptionist from chatting with a friend. I admittedly was *six* minutes late, and she berated me in front of other people. When I explained that I had difficulty finding the place, she rolled her eyes. On my second visit, I was called "Hon" about twenty times. Just so unprofessional for a healthcare environment. To the management: I will so appreciate it if you will address these concerns. We are coming to you for healing. Some of us are not well or physically/emotionally "normal". We need to be treated with kindness and compassion from start to finish, not just on the table. While I agree that structure and policy need to be adhered to for a successful business, your business is caring for people and the first person we see should hold this as a number one priority. Thanks so much! I hope you will address and I will come back. read more

This place is simply amazing!! For a first timer, it's probably one of, if not the, best place to try it. I've been a consistent fan of it since its doors opened about four years ago. Over the years I suppose it gained popularity, much deserved, their space did change, although in the same building. Sliding scale fees make it a bargain. For example, making 40,000, you pay 37. If u make 50,000, you pay 42. Treatments are approximately 45 minutes. All the acupuncturists are unbelievably competent with amazing bed side matter. I'll be going there as often as my paycheck allows! read more

BAP takes community acupuncture to a whole new level. The facility is clean and spacious, featuring both tables and chairs in two separate rooms, along with a separate reception area and seating area. The only practitioner I've worked with is Sarah Chase, and she has been outstanding -- I genuinely believe her only concern is the treatment of my acute pain. Payment for services is on an income sliding scale, appointments are easy to book, and I've never felt rushed out for the next appointment (in fact, I've been shocked at the time Sarah has let me stay on the table receiving various acupuncture, electrostatic and cupping treatments), and Sarah takes the time after the treatment to explain the methods used and how they are helping to manage my condition. I couldn't be happier. read more

This is a gem of a place - very high-vibe and filled with light in every sense of the word! As a client there, I felt very safe and cared for...it was absolutely clear that I was in good hands. I would readily recommend Brooklyn Acupuncture Project to all my friends. The staff there is super-knowledgeable and attentive, and Serra is truly an angel! These folks are truly walking the walk by providing a great service to people who would not necessarily have an access to it! They saved me from excruciating chronic sciatic pain, for which I will remain forever grateful. THANK YOU!! read more

I had the best experience yesterday with Melissa Little. It was my first time getting acupuncture and she made me feel at ease. She listened and was very helpful, I could tell she definitely wanted to help get to the root of my problem. She was very gentle, I didn't even feel the needles and I felt immediate relief. The clinic is very relaxing, a zen like feel. I can't wait for my next appointment! read more
