Bridget McHale
✓ Verified PatientI've been a patient at the Student Clinic for over eight years.
Acupuncture makes living with chronic illness and pain more bearable, and it also helps with symptoms of my autism, anxiety, and depression, improving my overall quality of life. The students are all amazing, and the supervisors make sure that I feel safe and answer my questions whenever I have them.

✓ Verified PatientNY College has made quite a difference in my ability to continue day-to-day activities.
My 9/11 injuries to my neck, back, and other areas have not gone away, but acupuncture and massage have stopped them from being a daily reminder of what I can't do. Rather, it allows me to remain mobile and mindful — to exercise, eat better, stretch more often, and listen to my body.

✓ Verified PatientUpon my chiropractor's recommendation approximately 35 years ago, I started using the student clinic.
Twenty years ago, when an orthopedist wanted to perform exploratory surgery on my shoulder, I decided to try acupuncture instead. It was so successful that I have never stopped. The combination of acupuncture and massage works wonders for me, and I've never had a problem with the students, who are expertly supervised.
