Dr. Jane Gibbons at Akos Acupuncture is the BEST!!! I can not say enough good things about her. Dr. Jane is not only beyond knowledgeable and explains everything to you, but she is absolutely compassionate and really wants you to heal. I came to Dr Jane for an extremely painful shoulder issue, she is not only treating me for that, but she is now treating me for other issues that I personally didn't know could be treated with Acupuncture! I love all the different acupuncture/cupping treatments and advice that I receive, but I feel fantastic after every visit and look forward to my weekly appointments. If you want the sweetest, kindest and really the best acupuncturist then look no more because Dr. Jane Gibbons is it!!!
I have received acupuncture from Jane at Akos for a wide variety of ailments and have been extremely satisfied with all the treatment results, truly feeling significant improvements. Jane is extremely thorough, taking time to question and completely understand your full bodily state holistically to ensure the best approach to treatment. As a doctor, she is very knowledgeable about the functions and interconnectedness of the bodily systems and is happy to explain and discuss it all with you, including how she assesses your functioning and what acupuncture will do. The whole experience is relaxing and pleasant. She follows up to ensure good results and to make adjustments as needed next time. As a patient, you get the feeling that Jane genuinely cares and is committed to improving your life. I highly recommend giving acupuncture a try at Akos. The facilities are extremely clean and the doctors are all very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly.
The practitioners at Akos are as kind and knowledgeable as their clinic rooms are clean and comfortable. I've been seeing Sarah for cupping, facial cupping and acupuncture focusing on TMJ and neck/shoulder pain and it's given me such deep, lasting relief. When I go every week, I really notice the difference. She has also been treating my anxiety, and that's been an added bonus that I really did not expect. Sarah is the right amount of attentive, steady, calm and professional. I'm so happy to have found my go-to acupuncturist
I stepped into AKOS completely new to acupuncture. Fast-forward two months later and I cannot believe how significantly my quality of life has improved. Connie is kind, patient and so full of knowledge. She fosters an environment that is warm and inviting, and I never feel rushed during my treatments. In fact, my acupuncture appointments have become the highlight of my weeks. All I can say is, "GO"! You will not be disappointed.
Dr Connie provides professional TCM acupuncture care that helps to address my chronic back pain. Great experience, clean environment, you really walk away relaxed and feeling much better
I've been going to Akos for a nagging hip injury from running and getting old as well as neck and shoulder pain from sitting all day/work stress. Good bedside manners are hard to come by but Connie has a great pre- and post-treatment process where we go over my pain level and locations. She also goes over what she'll do and what the relief should be. My hip issue has gone from an acute 8 to a 5 where I can get back to exercising again. Connie also has solid health and wellness knowledge and suggests other forms of treatments beyond acupuncture. Their location is so convenient and their office and treatment rooms are clean and inviting. Their bed warmer helps you really relax during treatment sessions!
My first time experiencing acupuncture was with Dr. Jane at Akos and I am hooked! It's such a pleasant experience. When I am in pain, feeling stressed, have a cold, or can't sleep, Jane has me feeling great in no time. Love acupuncture and I highly recommend Akos!
AKOS acupuncture exceeded my expectations. Connie has a wealth of knowledge about health and wellness. She asks questions and really listens to what’s going on with my body. She adequately addresses my concerns and sessions never feel rushed. The space is warm and inviting. It has a “calming and soothing” feel to it. I always look forward to acupuncture and cupping treatments! Highly recommend!
I've been seeing Sarah Heslip at Akos for several months. She is amazing and I don't know what I'd do without her! She's thorough and takes her time; never once have I felt rushed. She's extremely thoughtful in her approach and I'm always impressed by her memory - she remembers small details about me and my symptoms appointment after appointment that even I've forgotten about. On top of all that she has really awesome energy, which is not something I typically notice about a person. She is so calm and grounded and, like most New Yorkers, I need more of that! For years I’ve been struggling with sleep, memory, and TMJ issues and have made little to no progress. In the short time since I began seeing Sarah there has been a notable incredibly, really improvement. The Akos space is beautiful, tranquil, clean, and well-kept. Every time I leave I feel like a weight has been lifted. I've told my whole office about Akos because I love it that much and I can't recommend Sarah enough!
My issue is insomnia. I am averse to taking meds— OTC or Rx. I wanted a holistic solution!! I met with Sarah for an initial consultation and she really took time to explain the treatment plan and I learned that it was not a "ONCE and YOUR DONE" treatment. I have been to AKOS 6 times in the last 2 months and I am sleeping more soundly… and falling asleep more easily than I have in several years. Huge improvement in the quality of my sleep. It feels like magic. The office is convenient to my work and scheduling has been easy- I have seen Jane and Connie as well and I feel I am in good hands with any of the 3 acupuncturists in this practice. Akos is a very pleasant space with a truly soothing vibe. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for knowledgeable practitioners. They really work as a team toward their patient's health.
