What Our Patients Are Saying
Read authentic reviews from our patients who have experienced the transformative benefits of our acupuncture treatments.

Brian S.
6 month agoI reached out to Dr. Caron when my normal doctor told me I had arthritis in my knee and his suggest was to "deal with it" and take NSAIDs. Clearly I needed a second opinion! I could tell immediately Dr. Caron was knowledgeable, experienced and easy to talk to. His space is peaceful and comfortable, which is always a plus. Most importantly, after just a few sessions I'm already seeing improvement in my knee!
Adam C.
4 months agoEXCEPTIONAL!!! Peter is fantastic! Everything from intake, to treatment, to post treatment follow-up, he is one of a kind! He truly cares about his patients and customizes each treatment to their specific needs/concerns. I HIGHLY recommend him (if that wasn't obvious already :-)
Jayne W.
5 month agoHighly recommend Gotham Acupuncture! The space is so nice, quiet and calming, and Peter is great. He took the time to listen to me and make me feel safe and comfortable. It feels like he really gets what is going on. You even get sent home with freshly cooked herbs on the spot, as well as a batch of herbs to cook for the next couple of days, on the house.
