I'm a doctor and I practice a blend of Western Medicine and more holistic modalities, so I've explored the acupuncture space quite a bit, for both myself and my patients. I say this without exaggeration: David is the most powerful and talented acupuncturist I have ever encountered. I can feel my body responding to his needling in the moment. Not only do I leave feeling immediately better, but I can feel the arc of the treatment he's building over weeks as my health continues to change through our work together.
David is a fantastic practitioner. I was highly recommended to visit him by a senior acupuncturist who no longer practises. I feel rejuvenated with a smile on my face after the treatment! I was thoroughly impressed after my first few sessions and will continue to return whenever I can even though I don’t live in NYC anymore.

I fell into this practice by chance. I've done weekly sessions for 3 months. The cumulative effects of treatment are extraordinary. The positive changes I've seen in mental and physical health have surpassed anything I've seen in other therapeutic modalities. It's been a bit surreal.
David is phenomenal. Genuine, authentic, and supportive. Highly, highly recommended.

David is an extremely talented acupuncturist. I decided to try acupuncture after seeing a few different types of practitioners to help with chronic back pain and getting nowhere. After talking to David for a portion of my very first session, I shared other health-related concerns, including a lack of energy and grief related to the pandemic. He listened carefully and provided treatments that made a remarkable difference in my everyday life. My chronic pain dramatically reduced while my energy increased, and my general sense of well-being began to return. I highly recommend him!

I've been receiving treatment from David for a few months now and I feel great! David is kind, attentive, and explains the process as he treats you. Most importantly, he listens intently and you feel as if you're his only patient. In all my years of doing acupuncture, David stands out as a practitioner who really takes the time to provide treatment in a tranquil, soothing space. I look forward to my sessions and always leave feeling rejuvenated.

David approached our work relationally and collaboratively. He took the time to learn about me and my life and focused treatment to address not just the outer but also the inner aspects of my life. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for focus and balance in their lives.
David Dunlop - Therpist
Starting acupuncture with David has been one of the best things I've done for my physical and mental health. I started seeing David with the intention of searching for a more holistic approach to healing after experiencing a series of physical health issues. However, as I've continued my sessions with David, I've felt more attuned to my body and grounded. I leave each session with mental clarity and an inner sense of wellness. David genuinely tries to understand his patients holistically and has such a compassionate presence which really helps him get to the root of his patient's problems. I've already recommended him to many of my friends, and I hope that more people can experience the indescribable healing he has brought to many of his patients.

I gravitated towards acupuncture to help address chronic pain. I knew in my gut that something greater was out of balance, but I wasn’t prepared for the monumental shifts in my state of mind and being after experiencing Five Element acupuncture with David. David is attentive and caring, and the treatment was individualized; He customized each session to fit my needs which varied each week. In just 4 weeks the physical ailments were less critical as I felt more connected to my life, and even had compassion for what I was finally shedding. David is generous with his knowledge and masterful at what he does. My confidence in his work carried me through the treatments, despite my fear of needles. I am grateful for his support and to have access to this healing modality in my life. I highly recommend David J Leeds!

I had been going to acupuncture for years but had never experienced Five Element acupuncture before. And from the start, it had a different feel. The intake was very detailed and David was kind and sensitive, taking in much of my life story and later incorporating it into both the treatments and the light and humorous banter during the appointments. Although the treatment was more subtle than other acupuncture I had received, it seemed to truly influence my system on a deeper level and the result is a balance from within which is systemic. Throughout the time I saw David he was always upbeat and focused, and made me feel he worked from a place of deep wisdom. The effect of the treatment made me feel that my body was balanced and my energy directed in a way that healing could come from within. I highly recommend David and Five Element acupuncture for anyone looking to dial in their health and take healing to a deeper level.

I was referred to David earlier this year by my acupuncturist of 19 yrs who closed his NYC office during COVID. David has a calming demeanor he always takes his time and never rushes through the session. The quality of treatment is exceptional, at the end of the session I always feel relaxed and balanced.

David’s office building in Williamsburg is located 2 blocks from the Bedford L subway stop and is less than 15 minutes from Union Square. Clients regularly visit the restaurants and parks of Williamsburg after their acupuncture sessions. His personal favorite is Domino Park with its magnificent views of the river and the city skyline.
