I highly recommend Dr. Lee! I began seeing him to help alleviate my pain from a herniated disc. Dr. Lee is so skilled, thoughtful, and knowledgeable in his expertise. I’ve been going consistently for two months and my pain is leaps and bounds better !

I’ve been working with Dr. Lee since June 2021 using both acupuncture and Chinese herbs to tackle health issues that Western doctors haven’t been able to for years. Every session with him has shown continual progress and I’m finally starting to feel like my old self again. He is attentive, kind, and extremely patient, and I would 100% recommend him to the people I care about most. Thanks Dr. Lee!

I went to see Ansgar for shoulder issues and his acupuncture and massage treatments really helped with the healing process. Now that I no longer have shoulder problems, I go in regularly for facial acupuncture (better than any a facial I have experienced) and for other treatments when needed. I highly recommend!

The past few months, Ive been struggling with constant bloating and stomach pain so I decided to try out acupuncture. After an initial trial appointment I continued their services with Ansgar for a little over a month, although I wish it could have gone on longer! Ansgar was very attentive and worked diligently to provide treatment. He gave me a mixture of Chinese herbs to drink, advised some changes in my diet, and conducted acupuncture weekly. All of these things did wonders for my stomach pain! I cant recommend this practice enough!

Amazing place for muscle rehabilitation. I have always been prone to a lot of muscle knotting, and I work out a lot, so it was a pretty sick experience to suddenly have a lot of those muscle knots and tight-spots loosened up. Makes my workouts and posture a ton better, and less injury prone. Ansgar does an incredible job!!!

I have had a great experience every time I go in for an appointment.The combination of cupping, acupuncture, and deep massage has tremendously improved my injuries! Ansgar goes out of his way to help supplement the experience with other eastern medicine such as herbs when helpful.

This was my first time getting acupuncture for my TMJ, I had no idea what to expect. Ansgar was very caring and explained to me everything. he took his time to make sure I feel comfortable and safe. from my first session it made a huuuuuge difference of my jaw pain, ive never experienced such comfort and relaxation. Im on my 6th session with him, and already feel 60-80 percent improvement. Im always looking forward to those sessions!also I came for this for my TMJ but realized it was helping also my stress levels and sleep!I will be moving out of state end of this year but I know for sure ill be flying back here for visits and booking a session or two with Ansgar!!

Ansgar is wonderful. Incredibly friendly, skilled and dedicated to get you feeling better. Hes saved me from severe neck and back pain a number of times. Ive recommended friends to him and brought my mom to see him when she was visiting for the holidays.

Review №13

Ive been experiencing chronic pain for years, with my concerns dismissed and not taken seriously by a number of PCPs. When a friend of mine recommended Ansgar, I figured why not give acupuncture a shot.Ansgar is a true professional. He is a great listener and takes the time to work with you in order to ensure that everything is addressed. Ive come in on numerous occasions with sudden pain, and even more recently a pinched nerve, and he is always able to get to the root of the problem quickly. Ansgar has been my go-to for almost 2 years now and I truly cannot recommend him enough!

Dr. Ansgar Lee is amazing. What makes him unique is that he is a great listener. He asks all the right questions when caring for me. He responds to all my concerns on what is going on with my body and mind. I was seeking a fertility acupuncturist and I know I have found great one. I never felt so healthy after 2 months.

I have been to many acupuncturists in my life, but Ansgar is without a doubt the best practitioner I have experienced. He is a very intuitive and gentle person and he is a talented healer. He has helped me with numerous complaints, small and large, including carpal tunnel, neck pain, jaw tension, and pain on my head. I feel lucky to have found his practice and highly recommend it to others!

I started seeing ansgar the last 2 weeks of myPregnancy. He helped to induce labor with acupuncture, and also with my severely tight hip and glute muscle. After I gave birth found out my hip was fractured from the pregnancy, when I was able to walk again I went back to see Angsar. I wasn’t able to bend over my back was super tight. Between massage therapy, acupuncture and then cupping suggested by him my back is so much better. He really puts in the work to make sure you’re feeling good.

If you are looking for deep tissue massage, acupuncture or cupping, Ansgar is the professional you are looking for. I had issues with neck, shoulder and back, and everytime after one or two sessions I was ready to return for training and sports, pain free and full range of motion.

Review №19

Let me start by saying Ansgar is one of the kindest, most compassionate acupuncturists I have ever been to (and I have been to many in the city.) He listens to what is going on and knows exactly what to do. He finds the problem and solves it. Frustrated with the diagnose of an autoimmune disease, finding no answers and being tired of feeling absolutely terrible all the time - I decided to give acupuncture one more try and Im so grateful I did.Additionally, I had Covid-19 in March and ended up with permanent lung damage and a very difficult time breathing. Once he was able to open back up, I started going back weekly. In a few weeks, my lungs have zero pain and Im back to running!If you are tired of getting nowhere with answers and want to try something different, I highly recommend this place. You will be happy you did!

I had the blessing of being treated by Dr. Lee at LES Acupuncture. Very down to earth guy with lots of knowledge on health and wellness. Every question was answered and every concern taken care of. I feel so much better and relaxed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone searching for acupuncture/cupping and more.

I have been going to LES Acupuncture since August, 2020. Ansgar is a very knowledgable acuputurist, very compassionate and professional. Besides Acupunture services he even gave me advice on my nutrition and daily diet. The office is also well managable during COVID 19, very hygienic and clean. All his staffs and receptionists are friendly and accommodating with my schedule. Highly recommend.

The BEST massage and acupuncture I ever had. It’s not only about relaxing the muscle, but also relaxing the mind, life changer. Highly recommended to people who has back pain, weak neck, overused legs and stressed mind like me. 10 stars out of 5!!!😘😘😘

I absolutely loved coming to les acupuncture. Ansgar really takes the time to listen to what is going on and really treats all your needs. I predominantly went for infertility but if I wasn’t feeling well he helped to also fix other issues such as a cold or back and neck pain. He is very invested in his patients.The staff are all amazing and really work with you on scheduling.

Review №25

The first treatment I had with Ansgar was for my insomnia; he began by asking detailed questions about my wellbeing to understand the cause of it and other underlying issues, instead of just attributing my insomnia to stress like other practitioners I had been to. And after only one session and I slept better than ever. The treatment also helped with my headaches, which was a plus. I have been going back ever since for other health issues.And to top it off, the clinic is very clean and well maintained. 10/10 recommend.

My friend from work recommended Ansgar a year ago.I started seeing him twice a week to treat back pain and sciatica.He is a very professional and very nice person.I am continuing (now stopped because of the Covid-19 situation ) my treatment with him. Every time I see him, he not only treats my back pain, but also tries to align all the problems in my body.I really recommend him!

I have been looking for an Acupuncturist for a while now and was fortunate to discover LES Acupuncture. Doc Lee is amazing at what he does and knows immediately what work needs to get done. I went in for a super tight back that ran down my spine. In 2 visits he was able to rectify it. If youre up for it, hes very good with deep tissue body work as well, to complement the acupuncture. I highly recommend him, but please dont take my appointments.

Ansgar Lee changed my life. Well, without sounding TOO dramatic, he saved it. I had been suffering from hormonal migraines for the last two years and had tried everything that I could find. Western medicine, drugs, birth control, other acupuncturists and nothing was working. I was having 14-16 migraine days a month, most of them taking me out for the entire day. My career was suffering and I had completely given up on a social life - I had to cancel plans all of the time and never knew how I was going to feel day to day. At this point I had seen five other acupuncturists and while they were able to relieve the headaches when they were happening, none of them could prevent them. Until I gave it one last shot with Ansgar. I am down to 1-2 migraines a month at most, and they are so mild they are barely noticeable. I have my health, my life and my happiness back.

This has been my first experience with acupuncture and I came in under a lot of stress, stomach and skin rash issues. I cannot recommend Asngar enough! He made me feel at ease and I have been going at least once a week for 2 months. The results have been incredible and he is super attentive to specific needs. I am not longer in pain, my rashes have cleared up and am finally able to sleep better! It is also such a relaxing experience and I look forward to every time I go. The staff is also super friendly. 5 stars!

Ive never had acupuncture done before, as I was partially a skeptic, but after getting a recommendation from my friend I decided to finally meet DR.Lee.Hes passionate and a perfectionist--always striving for a way to alleviate any issue you may have. Hes so experienced that you wont even realize you have a cluster of needles on your-body. If youre interested in acupuncture, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Lee, you will not regret it.

Review №34

So I’ve been getting acupuncture for years and I have to say that no one compares to Dr. Ansgar Lee. He is extremely intuitive and passionate with what he does.He’s so knowledgeable and every visit goes beyond the normal acupuncture procedure. Along with acupuncture and pressure point therapy he fixed the pain in my neck and shoulder.More recently I’ve been seeing him for my TMJ and stress/anxiety. His technique is nothing I’ve experienced before. I feel relaxed and amazing every time I leave. My jaw muscle has significantly gone down in size and I’ve been able to eat certain foods that usually cause me pain.I’m such a huge fan of his and have been recommending him to all my clients and hairdresser colleagues. Comparable to a price of a massage you get so much more and he’s worth every penny.

My friend asked me to come to here to get treatment once he knew I was suffering with pains on my shoulders, neck, and lower back. After the first visit, I found out Dr. Ansgar Lee is amazing. He’s very professional and can definitely take care your situation. I have been treated by him for four times so far. Great work! The best thing about him is he is caring about patients. Gonna re-visit. Highly recommended.

Ansgar is fantastic! I came in with many digestive problems after being on extra strength prescription antacids twice a day and seeing several gastroenterologists. After seeing Ansgar my stomach feels better, I dont have nausea, Im completely off the prescriptions, and my neck / back pain that I also came in for feels better as well!

Ive never had acupuncture done before, as I was partially a skeptic, but after getting a recommendation from my friend I figured why not give it a shot. Im so glad I did because as cliche as it may sound, it was definitely life changing. I experienced an overall change with my health/body, and it is definitely a testament to Dr. Lees work. Hes a great listener and a perfectionist--always striving for a way to make you feel more comfortable and to alleviate any issue you may have. If youre wondering about the needles, dont even worry about them. They are so thin and minor that you will barely feel them. Plus, hes so experienced that you wont even realize you have a cluster of needles on your head. If youre interested in acupuncture, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Lee, you will not regret it.

Im thrilled to see the growing popularity of acupuncture, but with that comes a lot of competition in the wellness space. I choose to go back to Ansgar time and time again for this attention to detail, array of knowledge, and kind spirit. Its only an added benefit that he makes scheduling around 9-5 work hours available! Not only have I experienced immediate relief for acute injuries, Ansgar has been successful in moving the needle on chronic pain Ive had in my shoulder for 10+ years. He takes the time to listen and understand my symptoms, and provides an array of effective treatments. I believe in his practice and feel welcomed and comfortable every time I visit.

I discovered Acupuncture about 3 years ago and I have been seen Ansgar for about a year now. He helped me get ride off acid reflux, shoulder pain and lower back pain between other things. He uses massage, cupping and needles. I don’t really need to say much when I see him since he’s very intuitive. I’ve recommended a couple of my co-workers and friends to see him, and they all agree he’s the real thing.He got back back on track to work out and live a less painless life.I always look forward for my next session.

Mr. Lee is my first acupuncturist and for as long as I’m living in NYC he will be my only acupuncturist. He is wonderful! He treats your entire body from the inside out. He tries to make himself as flexible as possible which with my overnight shift in the hospital is crucial! His massages are very good! He really gets in and releases the knots and tension you are having but always listens to his clients if he needs to be softer or not. I have been seeing him for 4 months now to regulate my cycle pains , rid my night sweats and for a shoulder injury! He does it all. Don’t know what I’d do without him.

Ive been seeing Dr. Lee for massage therapy and acupuncture for several months now, and I love Dr. Lee! His office is very clean and comfortable, the other staff in his office are really nice, and I never wait long to see him. I find him to be a very knowledgeable, and he makes you feel at ease right from the start. I have noticed that since coming to him my symptoms, pains and especially headaches have almost stopped completely, and I am sleeping better than ever. In general my health has dramatically improved since seeing him for regular treatments. His treatments have helped so many things for me. He really is a healer of body and mind!

Dr. Lee was instrumental in helping me recover from a left shoulder injury. I had hurt it when I was boxing and was unable workout for a few weeks. A friend recommended Dr. Lee to me and after about 6 treatments I was 80% better. I kept going until I was 100% better and now I see him every few weeks to prevent any nagging aches and pains from getting worse. I highly recommend Dr. Lee!

Dr. Lee is one of the most gift Acupuncturists in town. I walked into his office one day with a stiff neck. He took it out within one session. Ever since than, I am hooked. I saw him for different ailments. Every time I walk out off his office, I feel physically and mentally better. Would highly recommend him to anyone I know!

Review №48

My sister-in-law recommended that I see Ansgar for my persistent migraines due to a mild concussion that I had awhile back. I didnt realize how depleted my health was but Ansgar brought me back to life again through acupuncture. He also had aided with a plethora of health issues (as if I didnt have enough already) such as tinnitus, shoulder pain, back pain, chest palpitations, and mental wellness. He discussed breathing techniques and stretches to incorporate throughout my daily life to alleviate these issues. If he feels you need an extra push, he will create his own concoction of herbal medicine to ensure all symptoms have diminished. The first month, I visited his facilities twice a week. By the second month, the visits reduced by once a week. And now, twice a month. His knowledge, compassion and positive energy makes him an amazing doctor. Also, having a hospitable and attentive staff makes it even more pleasant.

Review №52

Found LES Acupuncture and Bodywork on yelp recently after a recent episode of severe neck stiffness that didn’t improve after 2 weeks despite Flexeril and Naproxen around the clock. Ansgar fixed it in just 2 sessions a few days apart with acupuncture, cupping, and massage therapy. Being an MD myself, I was I nitially desperate and a little skeptical, but he’s a great listener and truly cares about his patients. Now I can’t stop going back for my chronic back pain from scoliosis. Highly recommend!

Review №56

I want to start by saying that I never read reviews, but Dr Lee has trualy transformed my life so I knew I had to. Aside from Dr. Lee being so sweet, helpful and extremely knowledgable, I never feel like hes trying to sell me a treatment that i dont need. He is strictly in the business of helping people and hes gone above and beyond for me. My experience with Dr. Lee has been nothing short of amazing. I initially reached out to him last year complaining of severe lower back issues of tightness and spasms due to traveling for work so many times a month. He treated me with acupuncture, cupping and a deep tissue massage (the part I dread the most, but the benefits afterwards are completely worth it) and I swear every time I leave his office I always feel so relaxed and immediately relieved. I know it sounds silly, but I actually feel like Im floating. Not only did he work out the severe knots in my back but hes also helped to alleviate the tightness in my hips, which I never even knew I had. I also suffer from ulcerative colitis which flared out of nowhere for months. So when I told Dr. Lee, he adjusted my treatments to cure the inflammation within my gastro system and within 5 treatments my symptoms were gone almost completely. His practice is no BS and he simply cares about making you feel better. I recommend Dr. Lee to all of my friends

Review №57

I’ve had lower back problems for approximately 5 years ever since I sprained it during a gym class. I went to see a physical therapist which helped but the lower back pain would come and go. I wasn’t a believer in acupuncture as I’m a healthcare professional and only believed in western medicine but I was definitely wrong ever since my first session with Ansgar! He’s an amazing acupuncturist, and after a couple of acupuncture sessions with cupping, my lower back was pain free. He’s extremely professional and genuinely cares about your concerns. I commute from Brooklyn to his office in Manhattan and it’s definitely worth it.8/2020 UPDATE:Ansgar saved my back again! I recently had my second child during the pandemic and it took a toll on my back. In two sessions, my back was back to baseline (slight aches). His office put in the proper precautions for coronavirus and I felt safe and comfortable seeing him in-person. Traveling from southeast Brooklyn to see him is definitely worth the trip!

Review №58

Before going to LES I was getting 2 to 3 debilitating migraines PER WEEK. Within three treatments, the migraines had subsided, and I am down to less than two per MONTH. He has also removed the ongoing pain in the shoulder. Anyone suffering from a chronic migraine that wants to heal without medication should consider this treatment. Ansgar is kind and always on time, which helps with work day appointments!

Review №59

L.E.S. is the first place I have ever received acupuncture from--and probably the only one Ill ever really need! Making an appointment was super easy. The studio is incredibly professional, clean and inviting. I went to Ansgar to try to sort out left side lateral/posterior hip tightness, left side upper back tightness/adhesions and an activation issue with my right tricep (I olympic weightlift and crossfit).The first session he applied needles + stim on my upper back and on posterior hip. After that, he cupped my upper back and then did some really awesome and intense body work on my hip/gluteus medius (read: aggressive, but effective and also right up my alley). My hip had not been so loose in such a long time! I was definitely sore for a couple days after but the crazy knot I had in there had finally massively decreased. The second session focused a lot more on my upper back and I got the intense body work done for that--again leaving me feeling much more open and less congested. I have yet to really test my right tricep, but unweighted extension definitely felt a little stronger after and later that day.Overall, I have been extremely pleased with Ansgars work and his ability to mix modalities to achieve relief for the client. He is incredibly professional, does a thorough intake, asks lots of questions to better pinpoint your issues and always asks how things are directly after sessions and in follow up sessions. I feel very comfortable with him working on me and know I am in very good hands!

Ive been seeing Dr. Lee for stomach issues and he has truly been amazing. My stomach would constantly hurt every morning and it became an inconvenience for me to go to work. I wasnt sure why I was having these stomach issues but Dr. Lee explained to me that my diet has alot to do with it and he introduced me to probiotics. He needled me for stomach pains and had me take probiotics on the daily.Almost immediately I noticed that my stomach pain was gone, on the days it hurt, the pain level was minimal.I highly recommend him!
