Back in 2019, I was diagnosed with a very rare form of Muscular Dystrophy "FSHD". This muscle…read morewasting disease is daunting and there is no cure. As a result, I have incorporated Acupuncture and Frequency-specific microcurrent "FSM" therapies from Dr. Michelle Iona. Before my very first session, I could feel I was going to meet a talented clinician. Her research into my disease, methodology and deep dives into my medical history, including but not limited to blood tests etc. made a profound difference. Along with her extremely talanted Associate Maria, you enter this office greeted with a calming, caring presence that immediately put me at ease. Dr. Iona took the time to understand my full health history and symptoms before developing a customized treatment plan. After six months, my chronic back pain, spasms in the neck began to subside dramatically. Even with Muscular Dystrophy, my walking has improved. Her expert guidance on lifestyle, diet, allows me to finally have a great roadmap naturally moving forward. I'm forever grateful to have found Dr. Iona and experience the healing powers of acupuncture firsthand. Her skill and dedication have improved my quality of life immensely. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking relief from pain or chronic conditions through this ancient holistic medicine. Brian Jude Loiacono

I began seeing Dr. Michelle in July 2024 after struggling with infertility for over a year…read more Frustrated with my experiences with fertility specialists and other doctors, I decided to explore alternative options. A friend recommended Healing Points after a family member had found success there, and I immediately felt heard and supported. During each session, I had the chance to discuss my emotions, what was helping, and any changes in my body. After working with Dr. Michelle every week for five months, I became pregnant. Now in my second trimester, I've had a smooth pregnancy so far, which I attribute to the work we did together leading up to conception and the ongoing support. Health struggles can feel isolating, but the compassionate care from Dr. Michelle, along with the warm environment Maria creates in the office, made all the difference. I highly recommend Dr. Michelle and will continue working with her throughout my pregnancy and beyond.

I have been receiving acupuncture treatment for many issues... and... for many years. Mostly minor…read moreissues like a small tear in my left ankle a few years ago, continuous cranky knees, fatigue, and recently lower back pain. Most of my sessions have taken place in Midtown Manhattan at a very professional establishment originally from Taiwan, with offices in Asia, Queens, and Manhattan. But traveling into Manhattan for a one hour session has just become too much. Traffic, crazy expenses other than acupuncture, and the quality of life...ugh! So I looked into Wellspring of Life Acupuncture in Riverhead, Long Island... 45 minutes by car from my house. Of course, just as the treatment center in Manhattan, they couldn't take my insurance. Anyway, I decided to give it a try. Melissa Peters has studied Chinese medicine in NYC and California for years. Her office is in a small strip mall off of Old Country Road, right across the street from Target. It is a pleasant office and the treatment rooms are clean, modern, with piped in New Age music, and very comfortable. Naturally I am a little wary of acupuncture therapists who are not from China. My first treatment was an evaluation session. What kind of therapy was eventually decided upon...and I must admit, after three once a week sessions I feel much better. Much better. To be 100% honest, the lower back pain has gone from a pain scale of 5 to....2 . My energy has increased dramatically. My knees are much less cranky. I am very pleased, and highly recommend Wellspring of Life Acupuncture.

Traditional Chinese Medicine involves not only acupuncture but also herbs, massage, cupping, gua sha, food therapy, and qi gong exercise. It is a complete medical system that has been used for several thousand years to treat pain, anxiety, depression, stress, fertility, headaches, and more. It is not only a therapeutic medicine but is also used for prevention and maintaining good health. Chinese medicine is holistic in that it views each person as a whole and unique individual and seeks to find the root cause of disease rather then just treat symptoms.

I took a fitness interval class here on Friday morning at 8:30 am through ClassPass, and it was an…read moreexcellent experience all around. I wanted to take an affordable workout class that wasn't this overstimulated loud experience like Barry's Bootcamp or SoulCycle, so I ended up giving this class a try. The class is located inside the Ed & Phyllis Davis medical office where they have a workout room full of every kind of workout gear you could need. The class consisted of around 10-12 people, but there was enough space for everyone to spread out and move. The class members consisted of women in their 40s-60s, with a few in their 70s. Still, the class was easy to modify and either amp up or take at your own pace. This workout focused on movements around a bosu ball, using hand weights as well. The music was fun and the pace was well timed. Price per class is either $25 per class or $100 for the month unlimited, which is an absolute steal. Highly recommend!

It took over a month, but I was finally able to book an appointment. I arrived to my appointment today a few minutes early to find the door locked. I was walking away assuming they were closed when the woman came to the door and opened it. I had been hitting a vape while headed back to the car, and she immediately went into a lecture on how she doesnt allow "smoking" because "she is very sensitive to smoke". Confused, I replied that I dont smoke, and obviously had no intention of smoking in her building... and her reply, verbatim, was: "What are you, stupid?" I wished her a good day and left. I have never been spoken to by a business in such a ridiculous way. I cannot NOT RECOMMEND this place enough.

They told me it would take 24 to 48 hours to know if I was approved. After 3 days of not hearing back, I called them and they brushed me off saying they had not heard back. I tried again in five days with the same result. After more than a week there was no word, so I called them a third time. Their response, "Oh, you were not approved." So I asked why didn't you call me? "Oh, we just heard." What a bunch of BS. I told these people that I had recently moved to the area and they were recommended by someone. I also told them that I was in pain and needed to see someone. They did not care in the least! They never offered that I could pay cash for my first visit while they run my insurance. They just hung up. I have never been treated this way by a medical office. Luckily, I found another provider and my insurance was approved within the hour.
