I've been doing acupuncture with Marie for just about a year now. After a failed IVF cycle, someone recommended acupuncture to help me with my transfer. Well it worked! Since then, I have been going to her throughout my pregnancy. In addition to helping with IVF and pregnancy, she has also treated me for anxiety. Marie is easy to talk to and never makes you feel rushed. Every time I go, it is a relaxing experience! I highly recommend getting acupuncture treatments with Marie at Westchester Acupuncture. read more

Dr. Amato is the most knowledgeable, attentive, and experienced acupuncturist I have met. I had been seeing a fancy group in Lower Manhattan for a while and then decided to try Westchester Acupuncture. The difference was remarkable. Dr. Amato listened to me and asked insightful questions to tailor my treatment. She clearly is a master of her profession. She treated me for fertility, rendering me relaxed and energized at the same time. They say acupuncture helps addiction--well, I've certainly become addicted! I cannot recommend Westchester Acupuncture enough. Best acupuncture experience I've had, all thanks to Dr. Amato. Competitive pricing too. 2020: Covid-safe protocols. I have been in a fairly strict lockdown, and I felt at ease in this office. read more

I was looking for an acupuncturist who was ready to listen and learn from what I was experiencing and I'm glad I found Marie. Marie is great: asks a lot of questions, encouraging, curious, and nonjudgmental. Location is convenient and parking is easy - just take care getting out of the lot and turning on Central Avenue, because it can be hard to see cars with a tree in your way! read more

Just finished my first treatment at Westchester Acupuncture. It also happened to be my first experience with acupuncture. Marie was so nice and welcoming, explaining the entire process to me. She spent a lot of time getting to know me, my medical history and my problem (lower back pain). Afterwords I felt much better. The entire experience was incredibly relaxing. Would highly recommend. read more

Marie Amato is absolutely fantastic. My 17 year old daughter is terrified of needles, as am I but we needed to explore alternative treatments for her Crohn's and my stress reduction and hormonal issues. Marie was kind, thorough and very understanding. We are all feeling much better and she has even helped address my PMS symptoms - NOTHING has ever worked. AND she will accept insurance. I have already referred several friends! read more

Marie was amazing! This was my first time ever having acupuncture. She walked through everything and explained what to expect during my experience. I really appreciated how thorough Marie was in understanding my medical history. She explained how acupuncture and Chinese medicine focus on understanding the whole person, and that the objective is to help the body come back into balance. She took her time getting to know me and to understand the specific reason I was seeking acupuncture. I really enjoyed my first acupuncture experience, it was very calming, and I look forward to future acupuncture treatments. Overall I would absolutely recommend Marie! read more

First visit but already sold! I've been going to acupuncture for the past few months in the hopes of trying to get pregnant but just couldn't find the right fit. The instant I met Marie I knew it was the right fit. She is thorough, calming, and knowledgeable. She made recommendations for my daily lifestyle and reassured me that I was doing all the right things. And for nothing else, the hour you are left (with check ins) on a warm bed with soft music and ocean sounds is an hour of self care we could all use. Thank you, Marie! read more

I started seeing Marie in Jan 2015 and have had the healthiest year of my life. I have chronic sinus problems and average 3 - 5 sinus infections a year. In 2015, I had one. Not only has Marie helped with my sinus issues, acupuncture has helped with anxiety as well as boosting my over all energy. I highly recommend acupuncture as an alternative to conventional medicine and I highly recommend Marie as she has helped make major changes for my health. Marie also makes the entire experience comfortable and easy. She is very in tune with her patients and has a relaxing energy. read more

I had an excellent first session with Dr. Amato. She was patient, provided thoughtful feedback and listened to my needs. Dr. Amato was very knowledgeable and professional as well. I felt immediate relief during the acupuncture itself and left feeling much calmer than when I came in. I look forward to continuing treatment with her. read more

Westchester Acupuncture really helped me with my agonizing allergies. From the moment I walked into he office, there is a calm soothing aura which made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. My whole experience with Marie has been positive and I highly recommend her for anyone interested in acupuncture. In my case, Marie even suggested I take some Chinese Herbs for my allergies that have worked wonders. I'm so happy with the treatments and care I receive Westchester Acupuncture that I had to share my experiences. read more

For many years I have been struggling with different ailments and kept taking medicine to make it better, several people told me to try acupuncture and I was a complete cynic having tried before with no hope. Then I met Marie! She helped me feel like a different person. She listens to how I feel physically and mentally and then works her magic! It doesn't hurt, your in a relaxing and private environment. I am honestly not sure how all this works but it did for me!!! Thank you so much Marie! read more

Absolutely love coming here! I've been coming for a few different issues and I can totally feel understood and helped. I am such a strong believer of acupuncture and it's benefits. I see Marie and her warm and gentle nature are a little retreat for me. read more

I am so happy with the facial rejuvenation sessions I did with Marie. She is fantastic! The lines on my forehead are diminished and my skin, especially in my cheek area, feels refreshed. My eyes look brighter and lifted. Some areas were more sensitive to the needles, but it wasn't a painful treatment at all. After every session, I left feeling relaxed and looking like I got a boost! read more

Ok. So this review is way overdue. I started seeing Marie in 2009 and have never looked back. She is incredible. I always tell her she gives off this soothing energy, that I bet if she tried, she can walk on water. I started using her for a particular reason I won't detail, but I was always able to come to her with any complaints: "Marie, I have a nasty cough that won't go away... A headache!... a sprained ankle...back pain....suppress my appetite (lol)." At one point, she completely eliminated my PCP....and then, the unthinkable, she closed her Manhattan office and moved to Westchester full time... WAH!!!! What a girl to do? Travel 2+ hours on weekends. She recharges my batteries, for a lack of a better phrase, I feel new after each session. If you haven't tried acupuncture (or if you have in one of those dingy places) and you don't like it, you just didn't do it the right way. I tried numerous people (some highly recommended by Marie herself) and she just beats everyone out of the water. read more

Westchester Acupunture is a wonderful healing place. Marie took the time to get to know me and my health history before we got started and she knew exactly where I needed support. As a result I left feeling rested and relaxed. I felt my body respond and begin to heal within a very short time. I highly recommend this practice. read more

Don't know what I would do without Marie! I first started acupuncture after doctors couldn't figure out why I was having such severe joint pain. I tried it on a whim hoping it would provide some relief after not wanting to continue to take medications. I have been seeing Marie at Westchester Acupuncture for over a year now and am thrilled with the results! It started as pain management, but since then, I have seen how much acupuncture has helped my mood, headaches, anxiety and overall stress. The difference I have seen in myself is truly amazing! Marie is so sweet, calming and extremely knowledgeable. She works around your comfort level and what you're open to. I can't say enough about her or the process, and if you're on the fence you should definitely go see her!! read more

Marie has done an amazing job treating my depression and anxiety. After one session I already felt like a new person! She is knowledgeable warm and kind. As someone who is terrified of needles, I was shocked to find that I don't feel a thing with her. Highly recommend. read more

Went to see Marie for anxiety issues. She fully understood my condition & was able to address her treatment. She is very intelligent, caring, calm and pays attention to details.I feel much better now after few sessions. I would de finitely recommend Marie. Michael M. read more

Marie is the best! I started seeing her during my long road toward pregnancy and she was such a wonderful and supportive presence throughout the whole process. Marie took the time to really listen to me, to pinpoint the sources of the issues I was struggling with and to develop a treatment plan for my specific needs. Marie always validated the way I was feeling and was such a nice contrast to the hugely medical process of conceiving through IVF. I kept seeing her throughout my pregnancy and continue to see her now as a way to improve my overall health and wellness. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Marie is a god sent! I first started seeing her in Nov'11 due to irregular periods. Within 3 months of acupuncture and herbs, my periods became regular and remain that way today. My husband and I are trying to conceive, and on this journey we learned through Marie that there are other answers available other than IVF. My husband had an abnormal seaman analysis, which our Infertility dr explained to us the only answer is IVF. Marie thought otherwise and recommended a change in diet and herbs. After 3 short months of my husband being on herbs...Marie was right! We had him re-tested and the results came back normal. Marie has so much knowledge to share, I recommend her with my highest regards. read more

Where do I begin? I have only been working with Marie for a little over a month now, but I'm so impressed by her work that I needed to write this review. Marie is incredibly knowledgeable and pays great attention to detail. Every time I visit her she asks questions, takes notes, and is extremely empathetic to my situation. I went to visit her today and complained of a discomfort I was experiencing so she tailored my treatment to help the area in question. Long story short, I'm home now, just a couple of hours later, and feeling great. She is a true healer, and I couldn't recommend her highly enough! read more

Not so impressed with the acupuncture - okay...but more troubled with the lack of empathy and tone at times.

I have seen Marie on and off for almost 5 years. She is one of the best practitioners I've seen (and I've seen a lot of acupuncturists!). She is thorough, perceptive and kind. It is rare to find a good acupuncturist in NY State who also has knowledge of Chinese Herbal medicine as well. Marie has also treated both of my toddlers, one who has severe asthma. In the 9 months we have been seeing her regularly, his asthma has improved and no hospitalizations. I highly recommend her practice. read more

I've been receiving acupuncture treatments from Marie Amato for over 2 years. Her knowledge and application of acupuncture is right on target. I have had much relief from neck and back pain thanks to Marie. Would highly recommend !! read more

I started going to Marie after being in and out of the doctors office for months with ulcerative colitis. My doctor kept changing my medications, but it just wasn't getting under control. I had never had acupuncture done before and gave it a try more out of desperation than out of an expectation that it would really work. Here I am several months into my treatments (acupuncture and herbs) and haven't had a flare-up since! Marie has just the right amount of warmth to put me at ease while also being very knowledgeable and professional. I like that she does her part to heal me while still encouraging me to stay on top of my traditional doctor's visits. It's made a big difference in my life to feel well again, so I highly recommend her work. read more

I've been going to Marie for a few years for different issues. After I had my son, my back went out and she did acupuncture and within minutes I felt my entire lower back just release! It was amazing! I recently went to her for a lump in my throat. I went to an ENT first and he diagnosed me with acid reflux- though I did not have an symptoms that usually go along with acid reflux. I used the medicine for about two weeks with no improvement. I decided to go to Marie to see if she could help. Within two treatments of acupuncture and 2 days of using herbs, the lump already had improved dramatically (she had told me it was due to stress). Whenever I go to her for a treatment, I know that I will be feeling better and healthier. Marie's knowledge and expertise is astounding. She also has amazing bedside manner- she makes you feel comfortable within minutes of speaking with her. She is very gifted at what she does. read more
