"I have been seeing Michael Bennett since January 2019 for my fertility journey. From the beginning Michael was very professional, kind and very knowledgeable about his practice. He was always very flexible to my schedule and made the entire experience stress free. I loved going in for my sessions as it made me feel very relaxed. I would recommend Michael Bennett to anyone looking for an excellent acupuncturist."

"The worst acupuncture I've ever had is from Michael Bennett here. It was so painful I actually wondered whether he had old blunt needles. And sure enough I ended up with nerve damage in my right wrist where he went in either too deep or in the wrong place. I am undergoing physical therapy after a period of complete immobilization that saw me out of work for weeks and the assessment of damage is ongoing. Despite contacting him numerous times (as have my doctors) he doesn't respond to text, email or phone. It was also the most expensive acupuncture session I've had in the city in 13 years, made more expensive by the cost of the follow-up care I've had to have from the injury he caused. I could go on about other red flags from this acupuncturist and why I think it is wrong that he advertises himself for IVF care - I'm quite shocked by the positive reviews here - but I think nerve damage is enough to assure you that this is not a place to go."

"Due to the location close to Grand Central, I thought to give Michael Bennett and Metropolitan Acupuncture a try as nothing else including multiple chiropractic sessions. Well after (2) sessions I feel like $1,000,000. Michael was extremely knowledgeable and made this first experience extremely positive."

"I have been going for acupuncture for about 2 1/2 years for my anxiety. I went to Michael after having a really bad episode and have found that when I don't go for a while, my body craves it. I have noticed feeling immediately better when suffering anxiety after going for an appointment. I am not saying that acupuncture is an immediate cure for my anxiety but it is one of the best tools that I have and am so thankful that I found Michael and Metropolitan Acupuncture!"

"Michael is great. I’ve been seeing him for acupuncture for migraines for a few years now and the severity and number of migraines per month has decreased since I started seeing him. Michael is always very professional and thoughtful in his approach, taking the time to listen to my symptoms and adjust his technique accordingly. He’s also certified in infertility and pre-natal acupuncture and last year when I was pregnant, I felt very safe getting treatment from Michael – he was always incredibly careful and mindful of my changing needs. Would highly recommend."
