This message is long overdue…read more I've been seeing Rachel for the last three years primarily for fertility reasons, but also just because once I started going to acupuncture, I didn't want to stop. I felt so good after every session. Rachel is a warm and attentive listener, who asks the right questions and provides an intuitive level of treatment. I referred a friend to see Rachel and the friend had had a panic attack during acupuncture at a different place and was terrified. Rachel stayed in the room with her during her treatment and literally held her hand so that she could feel calm and safe knowing she had someone there if panic should ensue. Rachel did house calls and endured 30-45 minutes of non-stop chihuahua barking to assist in my quest to get pregnant. Below is a picture of her at my house when I was in labor, trying to get things to speed up, but also aiming for pain relief. If you are looking for a safe and relaxing environment and a warm and competent acupuncturist, I cannot recommend Seven Seas highly enough.

During that visit, Melinda Keller reviewed my intake forms and sent me for three X-rays before continuing the consultation. I was required to pay $125.00 for the X-rays that day. After reviewing the results, I was presented with an approximately $7,000 out-of-pocket treatment plan. When I asked how my progress would be measured and what specific improvements I should expect, I left feeling that my questions had not been clearly answered. The office also felt very high-volume, with one assistant caring for numerous patients, on different machines at the same time. Having previously worked for a chiropractor, I left feeling that the experience was more focused on selling a treatment plan than on individualized care. After my visit, I posted a Google review describing my experience. Shortly afterward, Melinda Keller personally called me and asked me to return to the office. During my second visit, much of our conversation centered on my review and the effect it could have on her business. She then offered several spinal decompression treatments at no charge so I could determine whether they would help. I agreed. On May 11, 2026, the assistant positioned me on the spinal decompression table and started the treatment. According to the manufacturer's safety instructions for the decompression table, patients should be provided with a handheld emergency stop button before treatment. I was not given one. I was also left alone in the treatment room -- on a machine that requires close monitoring while strapped into a high-tension mechanized machine - which, according to the manufacturer's instructions, was not consistent with the recommended safety procedures. During the treatment, the table unexpectedly began pulling and jerking one side of my body downwards with tremendous force. I do not know whether the machine malfunctioned or whether incorrect settings were used. What I do know is that I repeatedly called out "Hello!" twice because I needed help, and no one came into the room. The force was so sudden and violent that it is one of the most frightening experiences I have ever had. Eventually, the machine stopped on its own, and I remained lying there frozen in shock, watching the timer count down to zero. When the assistant returned to unstrap me, I mentioned the machine acting erratically, but she offered no explanation - not even a raised eyebrow - just an awkward silence. Afterward, because I already knew something had gone wrong and was concerned about the pain I was beginning to experience, I agreed to a cold laser treatment in the hope that it might reduce inflammation and help minimize any injury. As someone who has worked extensively with medical lasers in my own profession, that seemed like a reasonable decision at the time. Before the cold laser treatment began, the assistant immediately handed me an emergency shut-off button and instructed me to use it if the treatment became too warm. That moment has stayed with me ever since. I had just completed a treatment on a motorized decompression table while alone and without an emergency stop button, yet I was promptly given one for a laser treatment where I could have simply sat up if I became uncomfortable. Approximately a week later, I emailed Melinda Keller explaining that I continued to experience significant pain and specifically asked what machine settings had been used during my decompression treatment. Instead of answering my question, or calling me to discuss what had happened, I simply received copies of my intake paperwork and X-rays. I never received the information I requested or any meaningful follow-up regarding the incident or my how I was feeling. I am currently undergoing medical evaluation. Until that process is complete, I cannot say exactly what injuries I may have sustained. I can say that I continue to experience pain that began immediately after this treatment. Pain that I didn't have before the treatment experience. This review reflects only my personal experience. Based on what happened to me, I cannot recommend Brooklyn Spine Center.

At first glance the place appeared very China town type place. However, the treatment I received got me walking after 30 plus minutes of treatment with close to no pain what so ever. Moreover, the fact that the price was a mere 40$ made my decision to go with G&H that much easier. I would definitely recommend this acupuncturist if you can get past the non scenic and spa like ambience.

The person I spoke to kept impressing upon me that the in-person consultation is free, as if the only barrier for me was the cost of the consultation. If you have chronic pain that makes traveling difficult, you don't want to travel unnecessarily - even if it's free! I have no idea where this falls it could be $100/session or $900 -- this is NYC -- and I don't think it's absurd to want to know before I go. I'm so disappointed because this was the most conveniently located place for me with the least travel, but not none. And this makes me think that what they offer in compassion (as per reviews) they lack in flexibility.

TLDR: definitely recommend Brooklyn Acupucnture!…read more Long version: I love Brooklyn Acupuncture medicine. I had no acupuncture experience at all until November 2023 when I began experiencing physical anxiety symptoms that I never had before (it felt like my heart was being tickled, I felt faint, and almost nauseous for days at a time, it was hard to describe to others aside from just being able to feel my heart in a way I hadn't before and it was uncomfortable). I had a complete cardio workup and everything looked good so I decided to give acupuncture a try. Rez made me feel comfortable during our consultation before selling me on a treatment of 10 sessions. It really doesn't make sense to begin this treatment (though a one-off might be relaxing) unless you can commit to a full treatment. I worked with her from November to June, eventually tapering off to every two weeks. I have been doing other things as well (new therapist, group therapy) but I believe the wellness I feel now is definitely in part due to sitting with Rez and all of the lovely folks who work there. Definitely a culturally competent group in terms of sexual orientation, race, and gender identity. They remember me and you can tell they treat everyone there well and with respect; it's a nice community . Superbills and documentation provided quickly and I liked having reminder texts about my appointments. I haven't had an anxiety episode like that in months and I just feel like I can handle things better and am way less overwhelmed. For overprocessors like me (see the length of this message for proof) you should try working with these folks to take a different route to healing and learning. I love Brooklyn Acupuncture and see myself going back at various times for tuneups- not to mention when I start to experience physical symptoms likes back aches and pains. Feeling gratitude for Rez and the team at BAM!

Her deep passion for acupuncture coupled with her attentive nature and genuine desire to help her clients really makes her stand out amongst other acupuncturists I have encountered in my past. She is very educated in what she does and always goes that extra mile with her clients to ensure they get the proper treatment they need. Over the years, I have suffered a myriad of joint-related problems ranging from my back to my neck due to multiple weight-lifting injuries and progressive arthritic pain which have required invasive surgeries. Over my long journey with Yanina, she has revitalized my chief ailments through a range of effective treatments including traditional/dry needling, cupping and light massaging. Thanks to her, I am able to continue weight-lifting (in moderation of course ) and lead a normal, functional life. It's important to note that acupuncture is not always about physical pain - it also offers tremendous relief mentally and spiritually! Yanina is incredible at offering stress-relief and spiritual healing techniques through the art of acupuncture. Even when I'm not in pain, I still enjoy the stress-relief and spiritual healing that acupuncture offers. I hold two jobs which can get very stressful at times and generate a lot of anxiety and nothing makes me feel good than to have an acupuncture treatment from Yanina just to reset and recharge myself. She is truly a talented, caring professional and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to explore the tremendous benefits that acupuncture can offer!
