“I suffered from ear pain, I was unable to hear because of inflammation of the nerve. Doctors did not know what to do for me. I came to Dr. Yu, with regular visits I have found that with the treatment and nutrition supplements I have gotten better, more strength, less pain, more focus and a little more happier.”

The best acupuncturist in Staten Island, and I would also say on the east coast. Honestly. She is the real deal. She educates and helped me understand my body in way that no one has ever taught me. I went from depressed and full of anxiety to high sustainable energy and no body pain (suffered from scoliosis and back injury for years). I've been seeing Dr. Yu for over ten years. I won't go anywhere else. Honestly do yourself a favor and go see her. Unlike other practitioners I've seen, she understands Chinese medicine inside and out. She lives it, not just education from a book. And in combination with nutrition response testing, which I got my whole family on, I feel we are set up for great health for a lifetime. Thank you Dr. Yu! I look forward to every appointment. ~ Yu Center Patient

Dr Yu is the most knowledgeable, compassionate, accessible physician I have ever encountered. She truly cares about each patient and goes above and beyond to accommodate everyone.

My son has been seeing Dr. Yu for about 5 months for an autoimmune condition. Prior to seeing Dr. Yu my son was under the care of a  for over 2 years. During that time he was given the typical medicines prescribed for autoimmune conditions, i.e. steroids, immune suppressants, etc. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much change, if any with his condition. In the five months or so that my son has been treated by Dr. Yu, using acupuncture, supplements and a revamping of his diet, there has been a significant improvement in his condition. I would highly recommend her. ~ Yu Center Patient

I have been bodybuilding for the last 25 years and two and a half months ago, I went to the gym to train my shoulders. I struggled to move my warm-up weights for three reps. I left the gym immediately and was stricken with fear. I went to the neurologist and got an MRI which revealed potential nerve root compression in the cervical region. I called Dr. Yu and made my first appointment. I showed her by example that my shoulder and bicep were clinically weak. By the end of my first treatment, I was able to move weight I couldn't prior. After my second session, my range of motion began to return. After my fourth visit, my arm is starting to slowly come back. ~ C.M.

Dr. Yu Weina has taken care of my health for about 15 years so far. Her acupuncture has helped heal some old injuries and maintain good physical health and awareness. Having started with severe sciatica from years of martial arts training, I am now approaching retirement age in good form, thanks in good part to her ministrations and advice. I recommend Dr. Yu Weina's practice wholeheartedly. Family and friends have without exception. ~ A.K.

Dr. Yu, hands down, one of the best doctors I have ever been too, period. I personally have battled with anxiety, OCD, depression and weight loss. She has helped me for more than 10 years plus and my family as well. She is so good that other acupuncturists refer to her. Also, I am a big proponent in nutrition and she has the ability to understand the theories and apply it very well. No problem or condition is too hard for her, it is always an inviting challenge. Please take my word for it and go to her today! You will not be sorry :) Go Dr. Yu! ~ Yu Center Patient

Dr. Yu is amazing! I have been going to her for almost 2 years now. Through acupuncture and nutrition, she helped me with stress, anxiety, prepared me for pregnancy and guided me all the way through!

15 years ago, I went from chain smoking to not smoking - literally overnight.  I cannot explain how it works, but it does.  I have never had a single craving in all these years.  Dr. Yu is awesome and I thank her for all the years she has added to my life.  ~ Yu Center Patient

I am under Dr. Yu's care to reclaim my life by tackling health issues, Excessive weight gain, indigestion, aches and pains in lower back, legs and feet, water retention, high cholesterol and anxiety. After several sessions of acupuncture with the Nutritional supplements (program) I can actually see and feel results in a short period of time. I'd like to continue Dr. Yu's programs long enough to reach my goals, which I am in the process of doing successfully. I'm glad that Dr. Yu is correcting all the underlying causes of my health problems, and not just masking them. All the Best, ~ M.Y.

I have more energy when I wake up , less feeling of depression. My daughter has more energy and she stopped having acid reflux which was taking over her life, very painful.

I have been a patient of Dr. Yu’s for over twenty years. She has helped me many times with acupuncture. I have had eye problems, knee problems and surgeries, as well as many other health issues. The nutrition program has given me another tool to improve my health. I am feeling much better after being on the nutrition program this past year. I encourage anyone with health problems to try these treatments. I feel over these past years, acupuncture and nutrition has helped me more than just taking a pill!!! In life we do not know what is in store for us. We can only try and try until we find a health program that helps us get through the bad times. Dr. Yu has helped me through many health issues over these past years. Give her a chance to help you as she has helped me. ~ Yu Center Patient

When I came to for acupuncture and I spoke with Dr. Yu. My ADD and my body feels so much better. I need to come back often and listen to what Dr. Yu tells me. ~ N.R.

Although i tried countless skin products like ProActive and products prescribed by my dermatologist, my skin challenges remained. I had acne, eczema and extremely dry skin. Any time i had a new breakout or my rashes became inflamed, my skin issues took a mental toll on me. So I decided to try an alternative form of healing by making an appointment with Dr. Yu! That changed everything! Dr.Yu helped me to not only understand the root of my skin problems but also provide solutions. She educated me on how my poor eating habits (consumption of large amounts of sugar) effected my skin. Though i was mindful/conscious about what i consumed, drinking vegetable smoothies daily, i still snacked on sweets, chocolates, candy, pastries, you name it-i was addicted. She suggested i make some lifestyle changes such as fasting, minimizing my sugar intake, increasing my fat intake and being patient with expecting immediate results. It took a few months to fully commit to the changes she suggested but once i did, OMG!My skin is now the best i've seen it in years. I no longer show any signs of eczema, In fact, my skin is much more hydrated than ever before, my acne breakouts are minimal, and my mental state of mind is at peace. Though it may sound dramatic, Dr. Yu really changed my life. I'm indebted to Dr. Yu. Thank you!~ R.C.

I started coming to acupuncture over a year ago and I have been maintaining my body every since. My initial visits were to treat my back- L4 and L5 herniations after an emergency surgery due to part of the herniation breaking off into my spinal cord and pressing on my nerve roots causing me to become numb from the waist down. Within the first months of visits I was able to walk again without a cane. Dr. Yu helped my back and she continues to advise me in the proper eating and exercise needed to strengthen my body. I love acupuncture and will continue to come for a long time. ~ Yu Center Patient

My husband has been limping for over a year. He went to a podiatrist, who immediately scheduled him for surgery on his foot. Then he remembered he had gone to Dr. Yu several years earlier for a painful shoulder and it worked. So he scheduled an appointment and after the first treatment, he no longer limped. Thank you, Dr. Yu! ~ R.B

I first experienced Dr. Yu when my wife came to her for debilitating illness. I soon followed due to foot problems that never returned. Since then I see Dr. Yu regularly to address the multitudes of pains and aches that Come with age. I find her treatments restorative, extremely helpful and powerful. I often refer people to Dr. Yu because acupuncture has improved my life and changed it for the better. ~ G.M

My husband and I are seeing Dr. Yu since November 2018 and we have amazing results of the condition that we consult for. Specially my thyroid problem that's became a big concern for me. The sluggish feeling and gaining weight is causing pain all over my body. She help me a lot in loosing weight without exercise, through whole foods and proper time to have a meal. I ate better now and no more sweet stuff craving. If you try everything and nothing works it's best to consult a professional like her. She's generous to share all her knowledge to help you. Now I am pain free and healthier than before I see her. Thanks Dr. Yu ~ Yu Center Patient

Dr. Yu is a healer. I have been going to her for 16 years. I'm a retired New York City Firefighter with degenerative disc disease. I have been to MANY people who do "acupuncture". No one comes even close to the acupuncture that Dr. Yu does. She knows EXACTLY where to place the needle. In 2003 I fell from a tree 17 feet and broke my wrist In over 20 places. After major surgery Dr. Yu. Treated me twice a week for a couple of months. I could not move my neck. After a couple of sessions, my neck moved effortlessly without a problem. The feeling went back in my hand and I was able to play guitar again. With her help I did not need mind numbing meds to stop the pain. With her help, my life is better. I now live in Florida and when my back gets bad I get on a plane and see Dr. Yu. She is the greatest healer I have ever known. She won't let you down. ~ Yu Center Patient

A little over 2 years ago I was in a very bad way. I was not able to say exactly what it was that was bothering me as there was so much going on. I went to a number of doctor's all over the place but no single doctor could say for sure that there was a name to what was causing me such misery. I tested positive for IBS but did not actually have IBS. I was diagnosed with GERD. I tested positive for Gluten sensitivity but not full blown Gluten allergy. I had a Hiatal Hernia. I had a heart attack. Everything was just piling up with no relief in sight. I was tired and uncomfortable all of the time. That is when a friend recommended I speak with Dr. Yu. I had been so many other places I figured I had nothing to lose. After the first visit, I left the office thinking this was going to be a bunch of nothing but committed to at least seeing it through. Thank God I did! It has taken a long time and many changes but I am not sure I could have done this on my own. Dr. Yu was able to identify things in my diet that, although healthy, were not healthy for me and were actually having negative affects. She has worked with me to uncover issues one at a time and rebalance my body so that I can participate in life and not just watch it. Acupuncture has contributed to that in a big way. I have gone into the office with tightness in my chest and diaphragm and labored breathing and walked out feeling loose and able to take a normal breath. It has been a very long road but I am encouraged that we are almost done with the "healing" phase and entering a state of "maintenance".Dr. Yu is extremely caring and sensitive. She is very thorough. She is more than a doctor ... she's a friend. ~ J.C

Dr. Yu is so helpful and knowledgeable. When I came to her office I was very sick with bronchitis while simultaneously battling dysfunction in my body from my Celiac's Disease. I had tried my general health care practitioner and two separate rounds of antibiotics; I only got worse. After a month of agony, I finally found Dr. Yu . She did nutrition response testing and acupuncture. She sent me home with a few different things to take and went over some simple diet changes. After a few days I was finally better ! It seemed like a miracle, but it wasn't really; it was just Dr. Yu providing me with the knowledge to help heal myself.  I highly recommend her practice to anyone and everyone. ~ Yu Center Patient
