“This is the best spot for acupuncture and dry needling. The treatment helped me recover from knee injury in remarkable time against all estimates and best expectations. Nick is especially great and is an expert at their skill. They take the time to understand the problem, check in weekly before even getting started to see how you are feeling and to determine the treatment method for each session. They will adapt their methods to specially treat your symptoms. Having someone care for your recovery in this way goes a long way! 10 out of 10 recommend for anyone looking for a specialist truly invested in your recovery and well-being. Oh, and Nick is also an extremely seasoned marathoner and can offer advice and treatment plans for runners! I will continue to go back for as long as I live in NYC.”

“Samantha is one of the first acupuncturists I have had the pleasure of working with, and I am so grateful for her. I have been working with for about a year now, and her treatments made me feel at ease, especially because I was a little nervous about needles at first. Samantha's treatments have helped me with my endometrial issues and with my anxiety. I am so grateful that our paths crossed and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for an acupuncturist. She puts care and thought into her treatments, and it shows.”

“Nick and the staff at Morningside are absolutely amazing! They are incredibly knowledgeable, and the dry needling was a great component to my rehab, as I have pretty chronically tight muscles. I have recommended the facility to others who also have had great experiences! Scheduling was quick and easy & location for me personally was great. Nick is also a runner, and I found it was helpful to have someone with that understanding/background.”
— Maile
“I came to Teddy with a chronic ankle issue caused by an injury from soccer. As a fellow soccer player, Teddy was able to provide very helpful advice and treatment that was directly relevant to my problem. He also addressed other lower body related issues with his treatments; all of which have led to a reduction in my symptoms. Would certainly recommend Teddy to anyone suffering from chronic or acute issues!”

He always knows exactly where the site of my pain is, and he has always been able to relieve any muscular pains I have come in with. Additionally, Teddy has treated me for stress and anxiety. He provides a safe and comfortable space for me to heal and thanks to him my anxiety is at a manageable level and my panic attacks have decreased in severity and frequency. The world should have more providers like Teddy!”

“I have been going to Morningside Acupuncture in the Upper West Side this year (2020) for Sports related body work and I love it!! I am a firm believer now in the power of Acupuncture as a holistic part of my training and recovery. As an ultramarathoner, recovery is essential to me to be able to tackle high mileage. I also found that this year during a time where I was working a lot from home and in an unconventional way, that I was experiencing a lot of neck and back issues that were getting worse. Nothing including sports massage was helping to release the tension in my neck. Teddy at Morningside Acupuncture was able to relieve the tension in my neck and shoulder within a few sessions, which has provided so much relief! In addition his knowledge of trigger point release has helped me to manage some ankle pain and IT band tightness. Highly recommend!!”
— Jessica, Runner
“Teddy is amazing! I have been dealing with IT band issues for almost four months, acupuncture with Teddy helped me get back my mobility and run pain-free.”
— Alina, Runner
“I’m really looking forward to going back to Teddy once his office re-opens. I had never done acupuncture prior to my session with Teddy. Teddy was extremely thorough throughout the whole process. He listened carefully to my complaints and worked diligently to alleviate my pain. I entered arrived at Teddy’s with significant shoulder pain and tightness, but left feeling loose and comfortable. I attribute this to Teddy’s attentiveness and concern for my well-being. Thanks, Teddy!”
— Matt, Engineer
“Teddy was very thorough and explained the process and why he was placing each needle. I was sore when I walked out, but felt so much better the next day and didn’t have any pain. In fact, I ran again the next day with no issue in my (previously tight) calf. Highly recommend.”

“Samantha Weese is a phenomenal acupuncturist. I started seeing her about a year ago for allergies and chronic pain related to arthritis. Acupuncture with her is the only effective treatment I’ve found for arthritis flare-ups after trying everything western medicine had to offer. She has basically cured my cat allergies and greatly improved my seasonal allergies. Her bedside manner is impeccable — the best I’ve encountered.”

I was apprehensive about being stuck with needles on my grade 1 ankle sprain but Teddy’s professional demeanor and knowledge put me at ease. The treatment was effective too.

“I first went to Teddy for acupuncture services after having quite a few leg cramps and soreness all related to post-running muscle strains. Teddy calmly and intelligently explains in very easy to understand terms the beauty of how acupuncture can relieve those sore muscles and allow me to have a quicker recovery after running many miles. Within a day or two, not only could I feel that my body was more relaxed, but the pain, soreness, and stiffness was completely gone. I am now training for my first full marathon and will be using his services for all my body aches and pains that will surely come with rigorous training. I couldn’t be more satisfied with his service and highly recommend him for anyone looking to an alternative method to pain relief. Thanks, Teddy!”
— Gabriel, Producer

“I was highly recommended to see Teddy at Morningside acupuncture on the upper west side by a friend. I have received acupuncture for back pain in the past and had a good experience. Teddy is a wonderful professional who has created a comfortable and safe environment with precautions and safe practices put in place for the visit. Teddy is patient and a great listener. He takes his time to answer any questions or concerns and explains in detail everything he is doing throughout the session. Trigger point release has helped tremendously for my lower back pain and upper back pain and tightness. After a couple of sessions I have felt a tremendous improvement already and I am looking forward to my next session.”
