"My name is Guy Valentino and I am officially the Guinness World Record Holder for the most pull-ups completed in a 24 hour period, 5862. Most people think it's just pull-ups but they're wrong. It takes a dedicated team to accomplish this mission. I had the pleasure of working with one of New York's best acupuncturist, Anna Hajosi. Her expertise and virtuous skill was essential in keeping my muscles from cramping and tightening up for her full 12 hour shift. Most people get acupuncture just once, I received it at least 10 times and each time helped me towards to accomplish the intent of breaking the world record. When she was not placing the thin needles into my muscles she was constantly rubbing and massaging any tight spots I had. Any person that can remain vigilant in this type of work and still produce excellent results every time is beyond impressive. Anna has my highest recommendations from any high level athlete to the stay at home mom for any muscular problem that may need to be released or ailment that requires treatment. She is truly one of the best! Thanks for everything."

"I started to train for the Marathon but after 20min of running I have always experienced sharp pains on my right side. Bothersome I had to stop training because the pain would not go away. I was referred to Anna who determined that my side abs were not firing properly. She suggested I see a physical therapist within her wellness center and the combination took care of my pain. I finished my first Marathon in 05:12. Thank you". - Margit F.
"I am an avid cyclist and had always experienced neck pain after my long rides. After I came to see Anna I no longer have neck pains. She took a look at my posture and said my mid back is not working and my upper back is overworking. Thanks to the combination of the pins and corrective exercises I am now pain free".
- Edward B.
"I am training for my first Ironman and after suddenly increasing my mileage I noticed pain in my left ankle. Anna fixed my ankle in a couple of sessions so I can train pain free again" - Tracy L.
"I am a 63 year old Ironman junkie, have completed 10 full Marathons and 15 full Ironman races the past 15 years. My knees are completely shot. I started seeing Anna for knee pain six weeks ago. She gave me corrective exercises and her whichcraft juice that is used for arthritic old folks like me who can't stop being active. It's only been six weeks but now I have hope I can race forever. I feel better. Thanks girl." - Mike C.
"Love this wellness center Anna works at. I feel completely cared for. Loved the massage by Barbara and Anna is always knowledgeable, caring and funny. I am a triathlete and have been seeing Anna for years now. Highly recommend these girls" - Ben B.
"Well, I was randomly searching for a good acupuncturist when I came across Anna on yelp and after seeing her unanimously good reviews, I figured I'd give it a shot, especially since I called the practice and it turned out they accept my type of insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield Advantage) and are located close to my office. She is a consummate professional and very caring but most importantly struck me as very knowledgeable. After just 5 sessions, she was able to alleviate my neck pain, sense of numbness and a tingling sensation I had been experiencing down the side of my right arm. I can only recommend her highly without any reservations" - Chivas K.
"Anna has been a tremendous help for me. I came to her seeking stress management. I suffered from frequent eye, lip and face twitching. Occasionally, I'd come to her for help relieve migraine headaches and muscle pains. After a few treatments, I can't remember the last time my face twitched and my migraines are a thing of the past. I do still see her on occasion to work out knots in my back. Thank you Anna" - Zack T.
" Anna this morning I was able to do the side leg lift you saw I could not do yesterday. Remember where you put those needles. Hurray! " - Jane B.
" I'm a CrossFit coach teaching movements, coaching group workouts many times a day. Anna helps me perform at my peak everyday. I have referred many of my friends to her. " - Alex M.
"Anna is amazing. I had low back pain and she was able to fix the root of my problem - which was my misaligned hip - with a combination of acupuncture and postural exercises. I recommend her highly." - Ila C.
" I rolled my ankle and luckily found Anna, here on Yelp. She treated my leg and in just a few treatments the pain and swelling were gone. I highly recommend her care..." Adam C.
"This is my weekly mini vacation :-) " - Bilal F.
"I am in a band holding my guitar every night so I have very sore shoulders, a fatigued back and aching legs. My friend recommended Anna since she does this Western Acupuncture which I believe is more focused on muscles. Her work is creative, flowing and relaxing all at once! She managed to take care of all of my aches in one session. Her rates are also very reasonable weighing in how much she does for you in one session." - David K.
" I was a patient of Dennis Gattoni and he recommended Anna to me. She is just wonderful. The two of them work side-by-side. Combining core strengthening with the pain relief via acupuncture has proven to be the most effective treatment for my back. And the office is very convenient: I can just sneak out during my lunch hour and get a PT and acupuncture treatment in just one session. I highly recommend both." - Emma P.
" I highly recommend Anna and her skills as an acupuncturist. I felt comfortable from my very first visit and have been promoting her to all of my friends and coworkers" - Jason C.
" I had a bad fall and much neck pain for which the usual home remedies (heat, cold, NSAIDs) offered little relief. A friend recommended Anna Hajosi, an expert in acupuncture and medical massage. I called and made an appointment. The office is neat, clean, and professional and Ms. Hajosi took a careful history and then, poking and prodding, located the specific muscle in pain (left trapezius). She works rather intently while succinctly explaining the 'what' and 'why' of treatment. She massaged the entire back and neck and then the neck intensively. Then came the acupuncture part, a treatment new to me. Tiny needles were pushed a few millimeters deep into my back and legs and neck at critical spots. The sensation entailed were not those expected. I thought each insertion would feel like jab, but in many instances I experienced no sensation at all while, in others, there was only the briefest tiny pricking feeling. The needles stayed in for maybe ten minutes and they induced a feeling entirely new to me and difficult to describe -- a kind of soothing calmness. She instructed me in just how at home to stretch the affected muscle. Doing these practice stretches, I could see at once that the mobility of the neck was much improved and the pain dramatically reduced.
A subsequent treatment was much the same, save for the administration of 'moxa.' Here an herb (mugwort, dried and compressed) is ignited within a small wooden box. There are fumes and heat. And the box is moved about the body to heat critical areas. In two treatments my neck was back to its usual self. Well, you can see, why I recommend Ms. Hajosi to you so strongly. She is calm and pleasant and purposeful and, above all, effective." Peter C.
" I have used acupuncture on and off for over 20 years with a variety of practitioners both in the US and overseas. I use acupuncture as an effective way to recharge myself and create a sense of balance. Anna ranks in the best acupuncturists I have ever known, and she is my go to person for the last two years. Control and confidence with needle placement is important to me, and Anna excels in this area. She knows right where to place the needles, has a mastery of the gauges, knows how to open meridian lines, and I always leave a treatment feeling fantastic and full of life. The office is professional and close to Times Square, and she is a very pleasant person, which is a plus when a person is sticking needles in you. So if you want effective acupuncture in a clean professional office environment from a skilled professional, this is a good choice. For those skeptical of acupuncture, try it !" - Colin G.
" I don't normally write reviews, but I wanted to write one for Anna because after seeing her for over a year now and being very happy with the results, I wanted to share it. I've been to many acupuncturists over the past several years, but I stuck with Anna because three primary reasons: She's highly skilled and has a wealth of knowledge in a variety of treatments, has a great location in midtown, and has very good flexible schedule. Even after changing jobs, I still find myself just a few minutes away.
I went to her primarily for neck pain due to stress and chronic lower back pain from an old sports injury. And after a few sessions, I felt much better. Unfortunately for me, my job generates a lot of stress, so the neck pain comes back, and when it does, I go see her for an hour and all is right in the world again. Shes very easy going, has a great personality, and is very accommodating. I would highly recommend her." - N.Y.
" Anna friendly but quite professional, easy to talk to, and carefully elicited the details of each problem area. The office is quiet, clean and attractive. She is calm, purposeful, a pleasant and attractive professional. She administered moxibustion, massage, and cupping. Relief of the shin splints was complete after only one session the shoulder tension and tiredness after several. I had been quite the skeptic about these techniques and now am a believer. I plan return visits as needed."
" I initially contacted Anna because I had felt exhausted and couldn't keep my eyes open throughout the day even after several double espressos. After only a few weeks of seeing her, I am seeing significant progress in my health and feeling much better in general. Overall Anna has been great at addressing the issue I initially came in for, as well as others that have come up concurrently, both through the treatment, as well as suggestions made regarding diet and lifestyle changes. She is knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help you feel better. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of an acupuncturist."
" This report actually comes from wife, who was absolutely thrilled with her experience with Anna Hajosi:A friend suggested I see Anna. I've never really been interested in acupuncture... something about the needles just didn't sound appealing, but I had a chronic health issue I'd not been able to successfully treat elsewhere so, I thought let’s try that acupuncture. And I am so glad I did! Anna is an excellent practitioner, she focuses intently on the problem at hand, takes the time to carefully palpate and a**** your body and asks many questions to ensure that the treatment is on the right track. Her technique is calming yet powerful, one combining massage with acupuncture. Her office is my healing heaven. I look forward to seeing her, once to twice a week when I can. This is a "must" for me in this crazy city, where now I live a well centered and balanced everyday life. Thanks to Anna. I recommend her highly."
