A lot of people (myself included) are often skeptical or scared to try acupuncture. The A+ team at M & R Acupuncture makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, and infinitely better than you probably felt when you walked in. Their Oakdale office is aesthetically pleasing - very modern and refreshing. It is extremely clean, always smells good, and offers several amenities to take advantage of in the waiting area including tea and a selection of interesting reading materials to flip through (not the standard expired celebrity magazines you're used to seeing - and ignoring). I usually see Dr. Drew who specializes in sports and orthopedic related acupuncture. Whether I've been experiencing aches and pains in my neck and/or back from sitting at my desk at work all day, or my knees and feet are feeling tight and fatigued from exercise, Drew always provides the perfect treatment - acupuncture and massage or cupping - to relieve my pain. I always feel 120% better afterwards. And that's not all! I always leave my acupuncture appointment feeling extremely relaxed - the calm, meditative atmosphere experienced during a session yields mental benefits as well as physical ones. It forces you to take some time to slow down and relax which I really appreciate. The staff at M & R Acupuncture really cares about the well-being of every single patient and is determined to help you feel your best by managing your specific symptoms. The treatment doesn't stop at the door - Rory, Meg, and Drew are all very dedicated to their craft and your health - they are easy to talk to and are always willing to chat and suggest best practices related to nutrition, herbal medicine, stress reduction, and more, to help create lasting results and healthier lifestyles. read more

I was skeptical at first about acupuncture, but I truly believe that it has been the best decision I have ever made! I see Drew - he's the man!! Not only is he super patient and kind, he is very informative and takes time to explain everything he is doing and everything that may be wrong with me (trust me, there's a long list). I've been seeing him for two months and I have never felt better. I initially went because I was having a five month long Epstein Barr flare-up. After about two weeks, my chronic exhaustion was GONE and I started to feel brand new. I finally felt human again. Laura at the front desk is also very, very nice AND remembered my name after my first visit. I recommend M and R to anyone that will listen to me! read more

I can not say enough good things about Megan. I went to her for fertility help as a last resort. I was really apprehensive about trying acupuncture for infertility but I didn't have any other options. After seeking help from a Fertility Doctor who told me I had premature ovarian failure and was no longer a candidate for IUI and should consider IVF I decided to look elsewhere for help. I saw Megan and she reassured me that I would be able to have more children and that she didn't think there was anything wrong. (I had experienced difficulty getting pregnant with my first child as well.) After only one month of weekly treatments I became pregnant! Megan and I were both shocked as to how fast the treatments worked. Megan is kind, patient and caring and I recommend her to everyone seeking alternative medical help. read more

I was nervous about acupuncture but heard good things. Megan is really nice and gentle and not pushy at all. She has done wonders for my fibromyalgia. read more

Acupuncture with Rory has dramatically decreased my chronic shoulder and back pain that I have had for years to the point where I am able to hike and lift weights again. My quality of life has improved in other ways as well, to include a decrease in tension and stress from work and life. He is also very skilled in proscribing natural herbal remedies as well. read more

Megan is lovely. I've seen here between her time in NYC and her practice in Long Island. She always took the time to make sure I was comfortable with any treatments she was performing, and has a very attentive and gentle nature about her. Highly recommend Medicinal Roots Acupuncture. Wonderful folks run it! read more

Megan is amazing! My daughter had been suffering with eczema for many years & after years of medications from dermatologists and many other sources, nothing worked... until we found M & R Acupuncture! My daughter was nervous at first about the needles but Megan is so gentle & reassuring, she had no problem at all! We are so so grateful! Highly recommend! read more

Rory is amazing. I felt at ease as soon as I came into my session and was relieved that he handled my stress with confidence as he applied the needles and gave me herbs : ). I don't know how I would've survived that period of my life without him and his techniques. I only wish you did house calls to Germany! read more
