I have gotten referred to go to an acupuncturist for metabolism by an acquaintance. I went to a doctor uptown and had him do the session for $70. After finding out that my insurance does not cover acupuncture, I researched for cheaper alternatives and came across Dr Min Zhang's office. When I got to his office, I noticed that he shares the space with couple of other doctors and the specific room I went in to get needled was a shared room (a lasic hair removal room) that during the acupuncture session was designated for acupuncture clients. Okay, so the ambiance could be better so if you're a high maintenance person, this is not for you. Moving forward, I had him put the needles in the pressure points for metabolism (which I compared to what the first expensive doctor had put in me and he hit all the same spots) and a month into me visiting him, I have lost 6 pounds without lifting a weight or working out.
One time I was feeling sad/angry (called PMS) and I voiced that to him, on top of my metabolism pressure points, he put some needles into my Happiness points where it took me to a euphoric place and once the session was over, I was more content than when I walked in.
This place is a hidden gem and I hate to blast it on yelp but since Dr Min Zhang is so awesome, I had to put in a good review. He has a yelp deal going on so people who are interested, try that deal out first ( I did!). First 3 sessions with him are $30 each session. You really can't beat that price. read more
