I've been going to Jonathan and he is a great acupuncturist! You can tell he is very knowledgeable on it and does it because he loves it and wants to help people. I always felt a difference and that it was very helpful, and Jonathan is always so pleasant and nice. If I weren't moving, I would keep seeing Jonathan - definitely recommend! read more

Exceptional. Both Jonathan Simon and Susan Hofmann have done exceptional work on me, working through a number of back issues I've had after too many flights in cramped economy seats. They both have an exceptional bed-side (table-side?) manner, and intersperse humour with professionalism, as well as an in-depth knowledge of the human body. Of late, my treatments have been entirely with Susan, and she has been amazing at finding and working out every issue I bring to her. Appointments are easy to come by, and they also don't get twisted if something happens and you need to re-schedule (although try not to do so, as this is a very small practice that has to juggle a lot of patients' needs). I'd always been afraid of acupuncture, but the good folks here helped me get over it and appreciate a new way of feeling better. Truly recommend them, whether or not you like or believe in acupuncture. You just might be surprised by it, and I'm sure the good people at NYC Points will win you over. read more

I found NYC Points through Aetna and it's awesome as I am completely covered and don't need to pay a copay! I've been to both locations (they have one on the east side and one on the upper west). Both are clean and inviting. I've only seen Imani who is wonderful. Very friendly and calming. I originally started coming here for eczema before my wedding and have continued as I have had great results. I actually haven't been there in a little over two months and am doing great! I've come here with a cold once and also another time with a stiff neck, and Imani made me good as new with one treatment on both occasions. Very impressive. At first I didn't know what to expect but I was done dealing with an expensive dermatologist who wanted to take a biopsy of my face, so I was willing to try anything else for the eczema. I am so glad I tried acupuncture because now I see for myself what my friends were raving about and I enjoy having a treatment where I can lay down in a quiet peaceful room and have 30-45 minutes to myself, possibly nod off, and have my body rebalanced and fix my ailments. I hate shots, so I was nervous at first, but 90% of the time I feel absolutely nothing when she applies the needles and removes them. Depending on the point she's placing a needle at and the ailment I may feel a dull ache at specific points only, but I have never experienced any pain or uncomfortableness. It feels nothing like a needle or shot, and I appreciates how Imani started out slow with only a few needles in the first few appointments and then worked up to more in future appointments. read more

If I start to feel a slight cold coming on, or any ache in my muscles or joints, I make an appointment at NYC Points Acupuncture and come out feeling like new. All of the practitioners are skilled at finding the stuck points in my system and getting my energy back on track. The offices are convenient, near major subway stations and the offices are clean and comfortable. I've been going there on and off for years and recommend them to anyone seeking acupuncture for the first time or looking for an effective new practitioner! read more

I have had 2 appointments so far.. one with Jon, one with Amy. Both were very professional and provided a relaxing, healing environment, listened to me and my concerns, and were compassionate about all of my health problems even though I'm only 25 years old. I've lost my period for about a year due to severe hormonal imbalance.. I couldn't believe it but after 1 session with Amy, an hour later I got my period!! Wasn't expecting it at all but so grateful. Will definitely be continuing my healing journey with NYC points! read more

To me, Jonathan Simon is an angel sent from heaven whom successfully healed me of my facial twitching issue. For about 10 months, I suffered from from involuntary right inner ear spasm that will radiate to the right side of my face, causing my eye lid and top half of the face to twitch intensely. Whenever I speak, the intense twitching starts going off continuously and it caused me to become self conscious and desperate for help. Prior to seeing Jon, I've seen multiple specialists ranging from Neurologists, ENT and internal medicine doctor- NONE of them had any answers and kept saying its stress. I was prescribed an oral muscle relaxant at one point which did not work on my condition. I've gone to Jon for about 7 sessions and now I am happy to say, the twitching is completely GONE, my face is back!!! I have since mentioned his name to anyone I know that is looking for a skillful and knowledgeable acupuncturist. Jon is the man! Not only is he highly skilled, he has a calming, soothing demeanor. Showing up for my appointments with him is something I always look forward to - it is like catching up with a good friend and receiving my treatments, getting close to my end goal of healing. I will continue to see him for other Woman health condition that I am currently seeking treatment. I have FULL trust in him and he is a RARE gem in NYC for your health needs. He truly cares for his patients, their health and well-being. He takes insurance too! Incredibly happy and grateful to find a practitioner that helps you to heal the natural way! read more

I have been seeing Jon Simon for acupuncture treatments for more than 3 years. I started with Jon after seeing another acupuncturist who, while good, had an awful bedside manner and an inflexible approach to the business side. With Jon, I know the treatment is being delivered by someone with great skill as well as professional and someone easy to talk with. Early on, I went because of issues with my jaw. With those issues resolved, the treatment has been directed to other aches and pains. Jon also fully integrates Chinese medicine into the practice and will, when appropriate, provide supplements that complement Western treatments. Finally, if you are an athlete, especially a runner. Jon can not only provide targeted treatments for sore muscles, he offers great support and guidance on running. 5 star rating is a no brainer here. I have recommended his practice to colleagues and they too felt valued, cared for and provided with the right treatment for their needs. read more

My co-worker recommended that I see Jonathan Simon after I told her of my level of stress (she and her husband both have seen Mr. Simon in the past). I called Jon instantly and requested that he check if my insurance covered, it did not. Still his price was pretty reasonable so I decided to continue on with the acupuncture. This visit was unlike any other. The mood felt right (music, lighting, etc.) and let us not forget Jon. He has a positive aura that radiates; you instantly feel comfortable. He speaks to you (feels like you are speaking to a therapist), he sticks you with needles (which I did not feel at all, I did not even know they were on my skin), and gives you an amazing massage. Jon, if you are reading this, thank you and I will be back. read more

I was never really interested in Acupuncture generally speaking. The thought of it was really weird to me.. until I ended up with an extremely severe ankle sprain in the fall and a friend told me that it would help it heal faster. So, I called my health insurance who then gave me the number for Jon at NYPoints and also explained to me that it was completely covered by my plan! He saw me that day and started my recovery. Since, they have always super accommodating and have been able to fit me in day-of for new aches and pains. All my doctors and Physical Therapist said that my ankle healed much faster than normal, and even though they said they 'couldn't confirm' they agreed that it was most likely because of the Acupuncture. Not to mention a few I went in and had some other discomfort like back pain and headaches that were relieved in minutes... needless to say I will now call them first thing I have any problems read more

Some months ago I finished up my sessions here, but Id forgotten to leave a review. I suffered from low back pain and sciatica, no doubt induced from my hours and miles of road biking. I tried everything to get better, but nothing was helping. This went on for a bit over a year. My sister convinced me to try acupuncture. I was dubious, but I figured, "what the hell?" I had nothing to lose and I was fortunate enough to have insurance that covered it. In all honesty I did not expect it to help at all. I was wrong. I felt noticeable relief after my first visit. I wasn't cured by any means, but over a series of weeks and months it got better and better until I was pain free. It's been several months since I finished my sessions there and I am still pain free and Jonathan had me back on my bike riding comfortably before I finished. It didn't hurt he's a fellow cyclist, so lots to chat about. Thanks for getting me back in the saddle. read more

Jonathan is professional, caring and knowledgeable about the services he's providing. I felt comfortable right away and he was able to squeeze me in for an appointment with short notice. He even gave me a free bottle of anti inflammatory cherry juice. I respect the practice and appreciate that he really does care about the patient, not about the money. I'd recommend and go back! read more

Incompetent. Referred to them. Went a few times. Keeps hiring acupuncturists who couldn't make it on their own in the world. Typical acupuncture office that tries to maximize insurance payments without providing professional care. Seen it all before. Assessment, diagnosis, and prognosis were wrong but I was treated anyway by an assistant who wasn't confident in her needling. Jon, the owner, just wings things without a treatment plan. I know because I've been treated by rea; acupunctirists in the past. read more

This is the best place for acupuncture! Everyone is amazing and I get the best treatment every time. The acupuncturists are all caring and attentive. The office is warm and cozy and I love how they give you options to use the heat lamp. The neck rubs, essential oils, and classical music are an added bonus. This will always be my go to place for acupuncture in NYC and I recommend them highly to everyone looking for great acupuncture therapy! read more

I have been going for acupuncture at NYC Points for several months now and highly recommend them. The offices are clean and easy to get to (very close to the 72nd St. #1 train) and the staff is very professional, friendly, and great at what they do. What is really awesome is that they take almost any type of insurance, which leaves me responsible only for the copayments. This is definitely a great bonus over some of the other acupunctures in the city that don't take insurance at all. I've never had any problems with availability and Jon Simon, who I see, is always very accommodating with my schedule. If you're looking for great acupuncturist in Manhattan NYC points is definitely an option you should check out. read more

My doula suggested that I regularly go to an acupuncturist while I was pregnant. I found Jonathan Simon through my insurance and started seeing him during the second trimester. He treated me for back pain and helped get my body ready to deliver a baby. When I was told I would have to be induced, Jonathan worked with me to fit in two appointments (one with him and one with Imani Cummings) on very short notice to jumpstart the labor process so I could avoid a medicated induction. It didn't work 100%, but it worked very well. I started to feel contractions within a few days and was in labor in advance of my scheduled induction. As a result, I was able to avoid a lot of uncomfortable procedures/drugs and I only needed pitocin to increase the strength of my contractions. I credit Jonathan and Imani with the work. read more

I found NYC Points through my insurance provider suffering with an extremely paralyzing hiernated disc in my neck and shoulder. After one visit the shooting pain slowly diminshed to a dull ache. I was able to sleep for the first time since February when the injury occured. I visited the Westside office and it is beautiful, clean and relaxing. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. I immediately put them on speed dial on my phone. I intend to make NYC Points a part of my life for a very long time. Thank you Imani and Jamie! read more

All the acupuncturists at NYC Points Acupuncture are top-notch. I have seen Jonathon, Jaime and Freddie and they are all fantastic. I look forward to my weekly acupuncture session as I feel amazing afterwards. They check in with you each to session so they can customize the treatment to your specific needs that day. In addition to their excellent technique, they also really care about your progress. The offices on the East and Westside locations are clean and comfortably spacious. Soft music and heat lamps are optional enhancements. No matter how busy they are, they will always make time for you. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for complimentary and alternative ways to get into balance! read more

I've only been going for a few weeks but its really great and clean service. Staff is really nice, accommodating and willing to listen. I highly recommend visiting. Both Jon and Jennifer are great. read more

From the first time I walking into Jon's office I felt safe, comforted and understood. He took his time listening to my plight and said "we will fix this". It has been a slow but steady coming out of the dark for me and Jon has been there with humor, knowledge, kindness and availability the every step of the way. I have a ways to go yet but I have confidence that Jon with continue to take me back to full health. read more

Another amazing trip to the acupuncturist. I couldn't be happier with my time there. Will once again be going back in the near future!

First time receiving acupuncture. My visit to NYC points was a very pleasant experience. It was my first time receiving acupuncture, and although a bit nervous I found the treatment to be very relieving and informative. The place has a very clean and calm feel. Nicely decorated, and the acupuncturists are very professional and informative. My visit began with a questionnaire and analysis of me (asking about foods, any issues I have etc.) to help better suit what type of treatment I was getting which was for stress relieving and anxiety for me. The acupuncturists, Jonathan, was not only sensitive to it being my first time, but he did a very good job at explaining each part of the process to me, which made me feel calm and also like I was a valued client. Not sure on the specifics of the treatment I received, accompanied with soothing Enya music, which I love! I honestly had never felt so relaxed. I noticed that I was able to breathe easier both during and after it, something I have a problem with at times. I am definitely going back, afterwards it was over, I felt calmer and at ease, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was happy with the result. I would recommend this place to everyone, and not to mention it is covered by insurance, so if your feeling like trying a different type of treatment for an illness you have or even simply just want to try something new to help calm you, down take a day to try acupuncture guaranteed you wont regret it.
