Leading Acupuncturist in new york city

Professional, Experienced, and Thorough

Kristin Cheng, L.Ac. is a licensed acupuncturist in the State of New York, and a certified diplomate of Acupuncture with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She received her Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. Kristin is trained and experienced in treating everything from pain management to hormonal issues and fertility.

Kristin’s interest in Chinese Medicine stems from being a life-long mover as she was active in gymnastics and swimming as a child, and later studied modern dance. Today she enjoys yoga, cycling, and Crossfit. Her visceral relationship to the body and an interest in health care is what led her to this medicine. Kristin was first introduced to eastern medicine when she earned a massage certificate from McKinnon Institute of Massage in Oakland, CA in 2006. Her prior training as a massage therapist and ongoing advanced training in acupuncture inform her work and ultimately help her patients to live better lives.

From my first consultation to every appointment in between, Dr. Kristin has been kind and always attentive to what aches and pains I have. She makes sure to target the areas that are hurting you, and constantly checks in on you / with you to make sure you are comfortable. I mean really, what more could you ask for?!"
