Come here for acupuncture for my hand and wrist. I've been having pain from all the snow shoveling; almost 3months now. Acupuncture relieved some of my pain and I did gain back some movement. Day of was ok but today is day 2 and I'm seeing more improvement. The office is nice, and clean. I was given a bell in case of discomfort while I was on the table alone. It don't work. They didn't hear the bell. Gave me a false sense of comfort but in the end it worked out since the pain I was feeling subsided. Also be aware there is a cancellation fee. Knowing all this I will return and do recommend them. read more

First time doing dry needling acupuncture and honestly the experience was great. Miriam who was our acupuncturist was very accommodating and super friendly which made me feel very at ease. She explained the type of feeling and sensation that you will feel ahead of time. She kept it very professional, but friendly at the same time which helped me feel more at ease. She was more than happy to help and do extra in terms of relieving the muscle. I also can't exaggerate how I fell asleep during the process, but it was definitely relaxing enough that my body felt very light. Coming out of it, there is some soreness, which is to be expected as it is targeting the muscle. I would highly recommend and I would try to book with Miriam. Another highlight about Miriam is that she seems very passionate about what she does and that's probably the best type of person that you can ask for when doing this process. read more

Excellent service, Dr Samina and Dr. Milly are hands down. Beautiful place, clean and work for all my well being. Thank you!

Very clean, efficient, and effective service. I come here for cupping therapy and I feel like I have a new found body after my treatment.

I went last week due to severe neck and thoracic pain. I was having muscle spasms like no one's business. The pain was so severe. I decided to try acupuncture so I called Comuni and they picked up. The customer service is remarkable; Robert picked up the phone and navigated me and made the appointment for me for same day. His courtesy skills were unbelieveable. The way he spoke with clients is impressive. Then when I went in, I saw Veronica, she was very good and did the cupping then acupuncture. She relieved part of my pain but I still had a lot of pain. The decor was great, I loved it, from the background music to the white doors with black level handles. They rocked it with the decor. Pricing was a little on the steep side. $85 first visit, 70 thereafter. It was a therapeutic session, just wish I wasn't in that much pain. I ended up buying the hemp cream for topical use. It helped with the pain. read more

Samina is fantastic! She and everyone in the office are caring and so helpful. They will work with you to figure out your insurance coverage and offer good cash rates if you don't have coverage. I suffer from chronic pain and nothing has helped as much as acupuncture. If you're unsure if it's right for you or you're nervous about the process, go in and talk to them. It can be life changing! read more

3 words: SAMINA. IS. MAGIC i've has this stiffed neck for THEEEEEEE longest of time and my upper neck feels heavy like an 80 years old. this is my first acupuncture and cupping therapy and it won't be my last. i was nervous at first (not of the needles), i just didn't know where she'll stick the needle in, you know. overall, the entire session was painless and worth every penny and the place is very budget friendly too. comuni acupuncture is an amazing find and a gem of jackson heights. thank you so much for making my upper back feels brand new again. 10000/10 highly recommended. I can't wait to be back again! read more

I had never tried acupuncture before and didn't really know much about it, but an injured knee, a lack of health insurance and a sliding fee scale introduced me to a form of treatment I think everyone should be doing! I injured my knee to the point where bending it, going up and down stairs, running and even walking were extremely painful. Since I don't have health insurance, I saved up to pay for a doctor's visit only to be told that "it would go away...eventually." "Eventually" still hadn't arrived after 5 months and that's when I found Samina. I was initially attracted to the idea of affordable treatment but i got so much more out of it. Samina is a wonderful individual who became interested in my health, my life and my emotional well-being. While I went to get help with my knee, she took the approach of addressing any other imbalances (as well as stress) since everything within our bodies truly is connected. With every visit, I left feeling relaxed and refreshed - and my knee is completely fine now! During your visit, Samina will put you at ease chatting with you just as any friend would (she also has a great memory for remembering what is going on in your life). After the needles are in place, you are left alone on a bed with the lights dimmed, soft music playing and incense burning. It is a great opportunity to take some time out for yourself. I send everyone I know to see Samina, and just like me they all become hooked not just for healing properties of acupuncture but also for Samina's warm approach to the provision of treatment. read more

I am actually not the first to review this business. I discovered Queens Acupuncture on Yelp about 8 months ago, but I think since she changed locations she lost all her old Yelp listing. Anyway, all the other reviews were just as positive as this one. Samina is a miracle worker, and I don't throw that term around loosely. I had a pain in my neck for over a year which no doctor was able to help. It was just a muscle spasm, but physical therapy and massage were unable to work it out. I was ready to give up and get a cortisone injection (which I think is a bad option in the long-term), when someone recommended acupuncture. I'm not a "spiritual" or "alternative medicine" guy, so it was really a last-ditch effort. Within a couple weeks, I noticed the knot shrinking. After a month I felt like I had my life back. I don't know why acupuncture works, but it does. Samina has made such an improvement on my life, I can't recommend her enough. She's helped my neck, but has also helped other minor problems. When I'm feeling stressed out, she can help that too. She's also a great listener. An hour with her is like therapy, a massage, and a doctor's appointment rolled into one. She charges on a sliding scale ($20 to $40, whatever you can afford). I miss her Astoria location, but her Jackson Heights location is easy enough to get to. If anything ails you at all, Queens Acupuncture is worth a try. read more

Samina was my first introduction to acupuncture. I went to see her on a whim, not taking the practice of acupuncture very seriously. Well, Samina converted me from casually interested to passionate in only a few sessions. I've been seeing her for about half a year now. On the cusp of moving to California, the fact that I'll have to leave behind Samina is one of my greatest regrets! I doubt I'll find a practitioner quite like her. Not only has the practice of acupuncture been vastly beneficial for me on several levels, Samina as a practitioner is one-of-a-kind. She listens to her patients and values what they have to say about their own bodies and their own health, rather than deciding what is right for them. Samina's practice has a very human quality to it. This is much more typical in offices which practice alternative medicine such as acupuncture, of course -- but Samina's personal touch adds an element of healing before her work has even begun. Truly a quality practitioner, I love this woman and wouldn't go elsewhere on this coast. read more

I'm so glad I found this place (through Yelp of course)! Finding an acupuncture place is daunting in NY. So far I've had 2 sessions with Samina, and she's great. Really sweet and is a fountain of knowledge. She really takes the time to ask thorough questions and offers helpful advice. I feel very relaxed after the end of each session, and I've seen improvement in my energy level. She also recommended herbal supplements that I can order online, and they're reasonably priced. I highly recommend Samina! I'm so glad she takes my insurance. You can call to see if your insurance is covered or go onto their website. read more

Queens Acupuncture is clean, skilled and professional. It's also an excellent value. If you're in the Jackson Heights area and looking for a quality acupuncturist, you'd do well to check out this business. Just an update - physically continue to be in great shape - thanks in part to Queens Acupuncture. Samina helped me with low energy and physical exhaustion resulting from a stressful work situation. My appetite, stamina and overall energy are all once again excellent after working with Samina. This was the only healing modality used. PROS: The office is clean and well-managed. The pricing is extremely fair - quite possibly the best in the NYC metro area. Samina is an experienced, gentle, talented professional CONS: None Worth any effort it takes for you to get to the office. Highly recommended. read more

I found Queens Acupuncture through a friend who had read all the Yelp reviews and was about to give them a try for the first time, I beat her to it! I injured my lower back and despite weeks of medication and great deep tissue massages I was having a lot of continual stiffness and pain. My great experience began when I called and scheduled an appointment within 48 hours of reaching out (if you're in a lot pain they try to accommodate you sooner). When I arrived I saw a clean, peaceful, pleasantly appointed space. Robert kindly greeted me, asked to fill out paperwork and then thoughtfully asked if I wanted to use the bathroom before my session so I could be more relaxed and comfortable - I appreciated it. After that he led me to a tranquil private room with soft soothing music for my hour or so session. Samina thoughtfully evaluated me by asking all the pertinent questions and inspecting the affected area. She proceeded to answer my questions, big and small, and initiated the acupuncture session. After the needles were painless in placed in my body, she left the room for me to relax. After some time she returned, removed the needles, and then treated me with cupping (my first time, it was great!) as she answered my other concerns adding she was going to recommend some homeopathic "medicines" for me to take - those were EXCELLENT recommendations and I continue to take them and recommend them to others now. In other sessions I've also been treated with tinctures, smoke from a Chinese herbal cigarette and in a session with Daniel (who is also great) got a back and abdominal massage - i.e. these folks really listen to your needs and if you have special requests they do accommodate them. Please note I also tried Third Root in Brooklyn and loved them, just had to switch because of how far it is from me. Third Root has community acupuncture (several people get seen together in a large room) and a sliding scale fee. Queens Acupuncture is a community clinic (but each person gets a private session) and a sliding scale fee - excellent for the uninsured and they also take insurance. Did I mention they even have Sunday hours??!!!! read more

Simply Awesome! From playing on rings at the park, i did some damage to my wrist resulting in discomfort, and a trigger finger that was only getting worst with time. My doctor advised surgery after a stint and creams, I wasn't convinced so I decided to try acupuncture for the first time. Both Claudia and Samina were great, i signed on for a package since i figured one session would not fix anything. Fast forward a few months, my wrist is back to normal, no pain, no trigger finger and most importantly, no surgery needed. You guys rock! read more

Samina at Queens Acupuncture was my first and now will be my only experience with acupuncture as long as I live in Queens. I began going with the hope of managing or eliminating a side pain which doctors couldn't diagnose, because it wasn't the obvious kidney stone. Samina, being the responsible acupuncturist recommended I do see a doctor, which I saw several, but I attribute the eventual elimination of the pain to acupuncture. Each time I go to Queens Acupuncture Samina is always welcoming and absolutely attentive to whatever problem or pain I may have. The sliding pay scale makes it affordable and available to patients that need treatment more often. I tend to make regular appointments and so I never have to wait long for my treatment. The one time I did do a walk-in, I called ahead and was there in an hour and didn't wait more than 15-20 minutes, which is more than reasonable when you're a walk-in. Not to mention the environment is friendly, clean, comfortable and relaxing, all of which contribute to an overall great experience! I cannot say enough positive things about my experiences at Queens Acupuncture! read more

I love this place! Samina is my acupuncturist. She takes time to listen to what is bothering you! I had an aching sore neck and shoulder that she has basically cured through acupuncture and cupping. Samina is so kind and gentle. I was afraid to try acupuncture because of the needles but I'm so glad I did! The entire staff is so nice and helpful. Great place! read more

I found out about Queens acupuncture through the Brooklyn Acupuncture clinic, which was referred to me by a friend. The sliding scale is extremely helpful, especially if you are a student and don't have health insurance! I have a complicated case of seasonal and food allergies. I was fed up with adding more and more meds, and I had always wanted to try acupuncture. Marcela has been amazing for my treatments. She encouraged me to go on a food elimination diet to determine if there were other/unknown causes to my allergies. This was a great suggestion and I appreciated the addition of Western practices. I found out that I am very sensitive to gluten and have taken it out of my diet. With a change in diet and acupuncture, I have gone down from 5 allergy meds to 2 at most. I went for two months last year and had to stop since I moved. But now that I am back in the city, I am continuing to see Marcela. On the note of waiting- this is a community clinic, so I understand that to maintain the lower fees, there are some compromises, aka the acupuncturist is usually playing a dual role of treating patients and receiving them. read more

I never write reviews, however this place changed my life. I had terrible allergies, that were painful and affecting my eyes and skin terribly. I went on a Wednesday and Jackie was there, she asked me lots of questions and made me feel really comfortable. I am on my 5th session with Jackie and I feel excellent, even the people around me have noticed the change. Please, go to this place and give it a try. It's the best experience you'll have and Jackie is a sweetheart. read more

I went to a few acupuncturists for my lower back and knee problems. This place was by far the best and most affordable. I was treated by Alex. He took his time asking questions even the ones seemingly irrelevant. He explained that most of the times physical illnesses are caused by stress or other issues. This makes a big difference from conventional doctors where I felt like the only thing they wanted to do was to either give me prescriptions, operate or just send me to PT. Acupuncture alone may not get rid of my back pain permanently, but I have felt better after every visit. read more

It's honesty the most affordable I've been able to find any sort of acupuncture and wellness offices around. It's pretty convenient to get to, the appointment schedule is more than reasonable and accommodating. read more

Thank The Lord I found this place, my allergies were killing me notthing was working I think I was getting poisoned by all the different allergy medication I was taking.... I have read that acupuncture works to help with the allergies.... I came in with a swollen red nose from all the nose blowing and crazy itchy eyes.... The woman who treated me was great, made me very comfortable... Then the needles came non of them hurt till the last two, at least she gave me fair warning the last 2 needles to release the pressure that built up in my sinuses. I saw the light that really really hurt lol... 30 minutes later can I say wow after they took out the needles almost immediately I felt better.... They charge you on a pay scale, this gives everyone a chance to experience acupuncture .... Allergies I found your kryptonite..... read more

This was my first visit to an Acupunturist. Samina was very friendly and knowledgable. The office was clean and everyone was friendly. I will be back again. read more

for a long time I have been suffering from back pain thanks to these good people I feel much better friendly staff very professional Veronica is the best read more

This was my first experience with acupuncture and I am a believer! I came in for extreme neck pain and my appointment was taken the same day. They accepted my insurance so it was extremely cost effective for me as well. Samina takes her time and makes you feel extremely comfortable. She is very warm, friendly and knowledable. The front desk is run efficiently and the person at the desk was extremely welcoming. I felt like I was treated like I was in an extention of Samina's home. The office is clean, new and looks like a spa. I will be back! read more

So thankful for such quality health care through acupuncture, and recommendations for supplements and dietary changes. I have a chronic condition and my health insurance does not cover acupuncture. So thankful that this place is affordable. The people who work here truly care about their patients' health. The place is always clean and the ambiance is relaxing. I highly recommend Comuni Acupuncture for holistic wellness. read more

I had suffered from a mild to moderate mood disorder for over 18 years by this past summer, and a friend suggested I try acupuncture. Since I had already tried pretty much everything else, I figured I had nothing to lose by trying acupuncture (especially with Queens Acupuncture's sliding scale fees). It turns out that acupuncture is the best thing I've ever done for my depression. Over the course of weekly sessions over three months, I went from struggling to get out of bed in the mornings, worrying compulsively, and sobbing hysterically to feeling perfectly normal and 100% symptom-free. I haven't changed anything else in my life (i.e., diet, exercise, medications) since I started the treatment, so I'm left to conclude that acupuncture was single-handedly responsible for my recovery. I don't know what the scientific basis or biological mechanism for acupuncture is -- all I know is that it works, and I can personally vouch for that! The clinic has recently hired more acupuncturists. The one I've been seeing is Marcela, and I can't recommend her highly enough! Aside from the fact that she healed what no psychiatrist, drug, or therapist ever did, she's very dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely concerned about my health and well-being. Her expertise goes way beyond acupuncture -- she's also a licensed massage therapist and consults patients on Chinese herbal remedies. In sum, Marcela is a refreshing change from typical NYC health care providers, whose top priority is usually to grub money from your insurance company and get you out the door as quickly as possible. To address one of the previous reviews which complained about how understaffed the clinic is and how long the wait times are, that has not been my experience at all since I started going there. I've gone on Saturday and Sunday mornings and also a few weeknights after 6 PM and I rarely had to wait more than five minutes to be seen. (If I ever had to wait longer, it was only because I got there late and forfeited my original appointment time). Perhaps that negative review was written before the clinic started expanding and hiring new staff. On another positive note, the clinic has a fairly upscale decor and is super-clean and tidy (especially the bathrooms!). The meditation music they play in the treatment rooms is so relaxing that I've actually dozed off a few times in the middle of sessions (and that's with dozens of acupuncture needless stuck inside of me!). read more

Queens acupuncture, or now as it is called Comuni Acupuncture, is a welcoming place for acupuncture as treatment for many ailments. Samina, Robert, and the rest of the staff are attentive, kind and welcoming. I've been to many other acupuncture facilities, but I have been loyally going to Comuni for about the last 5 years. Trust me acupuncture can be a very pricy treatment, that the price is so reasonable for the care that is given is unbelievable. Samina always listens and adjusts the acupuncture accordingly. I used to suffer from debilitating migraines and headaches. They are almost a thing of the past. I highly recommend Comuni acupuncture for all your health concerns. read more

This place is still great, as always. I don't know what it is about this place. It truly feels like home. I tried other Acupunture clinics, and they are nice, but not as amazing as Comuni Acupunture. Samina and Veronica are great. With my schedule, I have Veronica as my acupuncturist. When someone enjoys what they are doing, it truly reflects. She is bright and focused. I appreciate that because it means she is paying attention to me and wants to help me get better. Thank you so much! God bless you both! read more

Comuni is the first place I call when I need to relax and get a treatment. For sinus pain, stress, whatever conditions you have this is the place you should try and go first. Samina and her team are incredible. read more

I saw Dr Samina years ago , always great.. Kept my allergies away. I have to go back. She is really good!

Samina is amazingly talented and very helpful.  I had some reservations about getting acupuncture because of the needles but she is so very careful and she really listened to me and made the experience a good one.  Now that I am more familiar with the process, I look forward every time to the relief that I feel after a treatment and her suggestions. read more

I'd been here before for a different type of treatment. Here now with my doctor's recommendation & so far I'm thrilled with the results! Hopefully, I'll recover 100%! I definitely don't enjoy being a pin cushion but in the end I trust its gonna be worth it! read more

If price is directly related to quality then this place does not exemplify it. Queens Acupuncture is a community acupuncture setting insofar that it provides affordable acupuncture for all with the hope that money will not be a barrier for access to the services provided here. Aside from that, Samina and Claudia provide highly individually centered services in private settings. Samina is not only well-versed in acupuncture but she has a wealth of knowledge on natural remedies, herbal remedies, and supplements that she willingly and wholeheartedly shares. Being a holistic enthusiast myself, I am very impressed at the amount of knowledge she has in other areas of alternative medicine. Why google your questions, when Samina is there! I have also seen Claudia many times and she is equally knowledgeable and sincere. I have been coming here regularly over the last few months, weekdays and weekends, during the daytime and evenings, and I've never had an issue with wait time, even when I made a last minute appointment, so I totally do not know where the other yelper is coming from. The place is very well-maintained and extremely clean. Front desk could not be any friendlier. And yes this place is near the 7 train, but I've never heard it while inside. So again I don't know where these yelpers are coming from! This place is zen and will put you there! Actually I think I might just continue coming here even when my health issues are resolved.....Queens Acupuncture does my body good! For all you Manhattanites - I guess Queens does have something you don't...'affordable' acupuncture! I think it's time you hop off that island of yours and take the 7 train and experience the real New York! read more

Samina is awesome! My girlfriend was complaining of really bad lower back pains so we decided to go to go see an acupuncture specialist. At first I was hesitant of taking her there thinking that this method really dosent work, boy was I wrong! The facility is clean, relaxing and zen like. I can instantly see how this method would put any patient at ease and relaxed. Samina asked all the appropriate questions and instantly remedied the issue. After her first session, she instantly felt better and wants to go back anytime she has any type of pain. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who seeks this type of treatment. read more

My mother and I have been going to Samina for awhile. She is amazing and her team is very helpful and knowledgeable. The clinic is super clean and peaceful. I was alway nervous about getting acupuncture treatments, and not to mention my mother hates needles, but Samina put us at ease immediately with her professional and sweet demeanor. She has helped me with pain in my jaw, neck and back and some anxiety issues. And, she has helped my mom tremendously with her hip and neck pain as well. We both look forward to coming to Samina for our treatments. This place is a gem! read more

Love this place! Simply the best! Samina is amazing! So thankful that I found this place. Try the ionic foot bath, you will feel great!

This is the best acupuncturist you will find in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City and maybe even the whole state of New York. I confidently assert that from the vantage point of always getting rave reviews from the many persons I have recommended in the past six years. read more

This place is amazing and my therapist Veronica as well. When I first walked in I was having difficulties managing my stress and anxiety. After a 5 week treatment I'm back to my old self. So glad I came across this place and will make it my sanctuary for when I need a minute to relax. read more

The staff are amazing and Samina is a rock star!!! :). She is my acupuncturist and I have seen a difference within myself from the treatments. She is friendly, takes her time and great in the art of healing. Highly recommend Communi Acupuncture. read more

My back has been a mess, and just one session really, really helped. I'm also going there for jaw clenching--I'm not 100% sure it will work, but my jaw muscles have definitely relaxed quite a bit, so that alone is worth it. You can hear the train a little, but that doesn't bother me, especially since this place is very reasonably priced. read more
