"What a warm and welcoming team! Park Avenue Center for Well Being was my first experience with acupuncture and it has been amazing! I feel like something opened in me. I feel lighter, calmer, and just so good that I am doing something for myself."

I used to have bad hand pain. It kept me up at night. Since getting
treatments from Roberta (acupuncture, NET, JMT) I'm cured. She's a miracle worker. I still come back now and then for tune-ups and she never ceases to amaze me.
L.S., New York
---------------------------------------
The relief I feel following each of the treatments is unmatched by any other treatment programs I've followed. Neck, shoulder and back pain especially dissipate tremendously, and Roberta is a true expert at what she does!

Dear
Roberta,
Thanks to your loving care and expertise my neck
hasn't hurt since you so kindly stayed late to
give me an acupuncture treatment after a car accident.
One treatment and my neck immediately felt better.
It was incredible; you are incredible. Thank you!
I
hope that all is going well this new year.
My deepest thanks,
M.T.

Dear
Roberta,

My back feels much better and I'm happy to have
acupuncture as an option now. Best Wishes,

Roberta!
Thank you - Thank You! What a gift you are in
my life. You
really made a difference and helped me so much
today. I can't find the exact words, but Thank
You! I hope I can return the gift to you if you
ever need!

Thanks again
for all...there is less tension in my neck and
jaw since my acupuncture session.

I have been
slowly feeling better and in the past two days
I'm starting to see a real improvement. I've not
had to take a nap for the past 2 days and my energy
level is up. I am still feeling the body aches
but they are not as intense. I'm feeling more
clear minded and I am not afraid to run errands
and spend energy.
This has
done a lot for my morale too, let me tell you.
My anxiety and
depression have dissipated as well.
They say
it takes 2 weeks to a month to realize the full
benefit, so it will only get better.
I couldn't
have done it without you. Getting the clear mindedness
to get help and insist upon it would never have
happened on my own.

Dear Roberta,
I just want
you to know our sessions have been extremely helpful
to me and I feel very, very fortunate that I have
met you at this time.
I look forward
to seeing you next week and just wanted you to
know it was so helpful not being so alone with
all of this.
Warm Regards,
L.M., New York

I can't say
enough about Roberta's acupuncture treatment!
While extremely skeptical about acupuncture in
it's entirety, it was recommended that I try it
as a treatment after coming off an SSRI medication.
And to think, it really works and helps me better
manage my overall anxiety issues. I look forward
to my weekly treatment as a chance to turn my
phone off, take some deep breaths and relax into
the soothing music and comfortable massage tables.
I find it is as good as a massage but the relaxation
it leaves me with is different and lasting. And
funny enough, I still don't really understand
what Roberta does, why she puts certain needles
where, and why it works. But at the end of the
day, it doesn't matter. The treatment works and
I am thankful to have found Roberta whose overall
demeanor is warm and caring. Thanks Roberta!

I am deeply
grateful to Roberta Roberts Mittman for a healing
experience
that changed my life. I had a sharp pain in my
heart for many years after
the loss of someone I loved that would never leave
me. After only one
treatment with Roberta it is entirely gone and
replaced with a calmness as if there never was
a wound.
L.M., New York
---------------------------------------
My first
experience was due to my feelings of depression.
On the way out of the office I felt so light as
if a burden had been lifted. In subsequent
visits, the acupuncture has lessened the pain
in my lower back. I continue
to go for acupuncture visits because I feel it
helps me deal with my moods
and pain. Thank You.

These treatments
make such a difference. They put balance back
in your life and help you see things more clearly.
It really helps me get through
everyday challenges in life.

Dear Roberta,
When I came upon your website for The Park Avenue
Center For Well Being I was most impressed by
what appeared to be your commitment to a total,
holistic approach to health care; mind, body and
spirit.I had suffered a debilitating concussion
and back injury several months earlier, which
had presented multiple physical and emotional
challenges. This happened a the same time that
my mother's health was failing, and her death
in April seemed more than I could bear.
At our first meeting, what I came to understand
is that you also have a commitment to compassion.
The warmth and sincerity with which I was received
by you and your staff gave me confidence that
I had made the right choice. My subsequent treatments,
which included acupuncture, BRT and Net gave me
enormous physical relief, but I believe it was
your compassionate demeanor and insightful counsel
that served to begin my healing on a much deeper
plane.
My work has taken me away from New York for several
weeks this Summer, but I look forward to resuming
our sessions in the Fall. I just wanted to send
you my thanks, and to tell you that I believe
you have a true gift for healing, and your gift
made an incalculable difference in my well being.
Your practice has a most fitting name.
Sincerely,
K.M., New York
For
the past 2 years if I drove more than 10 Minutes,
it was excruciating. A sciatica like pain made
it hurt to sit. After just 1 treatment with Roberta
I was able to drive over an hour. Several times
during the weekend I realized I was feeling great,
pain free, and surprised!

Hi
Roberta,
I
just had to write to say thank you so much for
helping me to breathe easier again. I began treatment
on 2/26 and have now had 6 visits and feel a 180
degree change in my body and mind. When I first
started came to visit you I suffered from severe
allergies and a 4 month long battle with sinus
infections that resulted from my chronic allergies,
of which I was put on 3 different antibiotics
for two months straight. This course of treatment
was reeking havoc on my body. In the first visits
we were able to identify the allergens that were
causing my suffering. I had been though extensive
allergy testing in the past that confirmed my
sensitivity to environmental factors such as trees,
grass, mold, pollen, and unfortunately cats and
dogs but you were able to also identify many foods
that were creating a problem for me. Since then
we have altered my diet, and environment to eliminate
those triggers where possible and it has made
a dramatic difference. With only 4 treatments
of acupuncture and the altered lifestyle approach
I can breathe completely normal again without
any medications and have not been so much as stuffed
up since. It's amazing. It's like my allergies
have disappeared.
In
addition to the acupuncture treatment eliminating
my allergies by changing my diet has had many
advantages. I am exercising regularly and thanks
you to your nutritional guidance feel really healthy
physically and mentally for the first time in
years.
Thank
you so much for all of you help and support.

"Roberta Mittman's
professional, yet warm demeanor consistently put
me at ease and allowed my body to completely focus
on creating a more balanced flow which in turn,
helped me to achieve a successful IVF retrieval
and transfer the first time. Acupuncture with
Roberta clearly helped me to synthesize what my
body was lacking on its own, to aid my body in
accepting the hormones I had to take, and to prepare
my system overall to produce more fertile results.
Thank you Roberta..."

After two years of trying to get pregnant, my
husband and I ran the battery of tests and were
diagnosed with "unexplained infertility".
To us this sounded hopeful, as there was technically
nothing wrong with either of us. We became more
diligent in our timing, I changed my diet, took
vitamins and herbs meant to enhance fertility,
drank teas, meditated, etc. I even changed my
lifestyle, giving up a stressful job in the city
to work from home. Nothing worked. We talked to
doctors and were told that due to my "advanced
maternal age" of 38, artificial insemination
with Clomid or invitro were our only possible
solutions. We made a personal decision not to
pursue these methods and decided to look into
adoption. In the meantime, my husband was seeing
Roberta for back pain and mentioned that we were
having fertility problems. She told him she may
be able to help. After assessing my situation,
she began treating me to first balance my whole
system, as I was also experiencing headaches,
poor digestion and difficulty sleeping, all of
which I attributed to the stress of not being
able to get pregnant. After the very first treatment,
my headaches went away completely! Within two
weeks, my digestion had improved and I was sleeping
better and felt generally more centered. At the
end of that first month of receiving treatment,
I missed my period. To my astonishment, I was
pregant! I took three tests because I simply couldn't
believe it. Roberta was as overjoyed as we were
and has continued to be personally and professionally
supportive.
At seven months pregnant, the baby and I have
both experienced excellent health, something I
attribute to acupuncture as well. I want to share
this success story, because as two people who
had never even tried acupuncture, Roberta's work
has changed not only our understanding of acupuncture
as an alternative healing method, it has changed
our lives and we cannot thank her enough.

Roberta is compassionate, knowledgeable, kind,
skillful. I had just begun my treatments with
Roberta last spring, when I was diagnosed with
a large ovarian mass. There was a chance that
it might be ovarian cancer, a potentially fatal
disease. I was terrified. Roberta told me, “Whatever
this is, we’ll get through it together,”
and she was with me every step of the way .For
almost two months, I went through tests, examinations,
and consultations with different doctors. I had
horrible anxiety and could not sleep. During this
difficult time, Roberta supported me physically
and emotionally, and was available by phone whenever
I needed to talk. I finally had surgery and, luckily,
my condition turned out to be benign. However,
my recovery took a long time. Roberta helped me
through that, too. I don’t know what I would
have done without her. I am healthy now, and much
calmer than before. I have learned a lot from
Roberta, and I will never forget what she has
done for me.

Dear
Roberta,
I would
be remiss if I did not send a note of thanks for
all the comfort you have given me.
You're
always there to answer my "many" questions.
I appreciate it. Plus, you are an "ace"
acupuncturist.
I find
your store of supplements to be the best (which
cannot be purchased in the health food stores).
Good
luck in your endeavors.
Sincerely,
G.H.
P.S.
Abbie is also nice to have around!!! |

Roberta
is the best. She's a terrific person, someone
you really want to have as a practitioner. The
main thing to keep in mind is that, as with everything,
you must stick with it. I did feel an alleviation
of symptoms on my first visit, but those symptoms
returned after a few days. However, just remembering
that I'd already had some success let me know
that the approach she uses works. If you don't
have the same immediate relief, try to simply
remember that someone did, so it's possible for
you. Now I don't have those lung or tracheal symptoms,
except on a minor level from time to time.
Roberta has worked on a lot of different things
in the treatments, including a problem I've had
with fat metabolism (resulting in pain and digestive
symptoms). I could definitely tell for many years
when I was having troubles of that sort. Roberta
worked on that with me and I have gotten much
better. This may still go out sometimes, as environmental
and dietary stress does cause problems, but she
then corrects this with her treatments.
Of course her approach will seem a bit esoteric
to some. In fact, this is so much more refined
and sophsiticated than other kinds of care that
not everyone will be able to immediately grasp
what she is up to. But we are electromagnetic
beings and the body communicates electromagnetically.
I had already been treated in a somewhat similar
way years before, to good effect, so I sought
out a practitioner doing this type of work. I
am very pleased with what Roberta has accomplished
with me.
This is very cutting edge work that Roberta does--both
futuristic in some of her techniques and traditional
in the use of acupuncture. I would truly recommend
it for those who have not been satisfied with
the care they have received in the past and who
have some trust in variant modalities. Give the
treatments enough of a try. Nothing works overnight,
but this is really wonderful stuff.
G.H.

When
I began seeing Roberta Mittman, I was suffering from
agonizing repetitive-stress pain in my forearms and
TMJ pain in my jaw. In the past, traditional acupuncture
had helped to manage my TMJ pain (the repetitive-stress
pain was new), so I thought I would look into acupuncture
again. Roberta analyzed the pattern of pain and traced
the origin to a small point on my back, which had always
troubled me with its tension. I had never before connected
that spot with my chronic pains, however. With this
knowledge, Roberta was able to ease my pain in the first
couple of visits to a degree that took many months for
traditional acupuncture. There has also been a noticeable
improvement in my overall health and energy levels since
I began her acupuncture and enzyme therapy treatments.
Roberta Mittman is a talented and caring practitioner,
and I highly and enthusiastically recommend her services.

| Dear
Roberta,
I want to thank you so much for the excellent
treatments that you give me. You are a very skilled
acupuncturist and also very caring and compassionate!
My neck and back and general health have greatly improved
due to your acupuncture treatments! My emotional health
has also improved. I am much less stressed.
I really enjoy coming to the treatments. Thank
you for your warmth and support!
All the best,

| My treatments
with Roberta Mittman have
literally given me a turbo boost on the path to being
pain free. Since I was sixteen, I have been plagued with
chronic subluxations in my
neck and jaw, along with TMJ, which turned into headaches
on a daily basis, which turned into mood swings, which
turned into a highly sensitive response to everything,
from noise, to light, to smells, to the slightest change
in routine. I have been in and out of chiropractic care,
massage therapy and even acupuncture, but these only helped
temporarily. Within a day and a half, I was back where
I started.
It never occurred to
me that I might be sensitive to the things in my diet,
the dust in my apartment, or even my cat. I learned
of Roberta through my network of doctors, and I heard
of allergy elimination from my mother, who has fibromyalgia
, and it had virtually ended her cycle of pain and sleeplessness.
So I spoke with Roberta on the phone for a very long
time one day regarding my past, where I would like to
go and how she can help me. I hung up the phone feeling
pumped! She was so thoughtful and took the time to discuss
everything very thoroughly with me. I also was so appreciative
of the fact that she let me know up front that her treatments
are a process, and everyone responds wonderfully to
the treatments but it is so individual and that is why
she works as fast as your body wants you to! Once 1
had just one treatment I knew what she meant! Roberta
is so in tune with people and she is such a good listener
to what you say and to what your body is saying that
she almost knows your body better than you! You could
tell her the most obscure symptom and she is able to
pinpoint and work it out for you.
My treatments included,
allergy elimination, which helped me immensely because
I found out my intense pasta and sugar cravings were
due to a high sensitivity to sugar, which was constantly
keeping me off balance and out of energy. By desensitizing
my body to sugar, the blockage of energy that created
my sensitive response was free and my cravings have
virtually disappeared. I was also sensitive to a number
of other things, which have been worked out as well.
In addition to that, much sensitivity that a person
has can relate to an emotional blockage. The emotional
therapy technique is so interesting and enlightening.
While you explore hidden emotions
that have created blockage in your body, you become
desensitized to that emotion. In other words,
you become okay with the situation on your mind. It
is neither a good or bad thing, it is just a thing.
This technique has even taught me a thing or to about
handling daily life! Roberta has also treated me for
pain using acupuncture. She asked me each visit
(which was once a week) what had been flaring up and
she treated me with such precision and care!
She is like
a master with acupuncture needles and after one treatment,
I hardly had to tell her where my trouble spots were!
One day I could barely hold my head up and my eyes open
and I called Roberta and asked her if she could help
me because I was in so much pain. She was so willing
to fit me into her hectic schedule. She listened to
my symptoms, she decided
on an acupuncture treatment and just told me to relax.
When I woke up, I felt like a new human being! My eyes
were not puffy and sagging, my head didn't throb, and
my body did not feel limp. As I left I looked at my
watch and noticed that I had been there for well over
an hour! Roberta was so kind to have let me just rest
and heal and have an extra long treatment! I couldn't
believe the wonderful care she had given me!
After twelve weeks,
my results have been incredible. I make it through the
week without much pain. Having a headache is a surprise
to me now. I sleep better. I do not get a splitting
throb in my forehead every time I smell something terrible
or see bright light. I don't crave sugar as much. My
arms don't fall asleep in the middle of the night. And
best of all, I am back to having days where 1 am my
happy-go-lucky self. Things are beautiful. The
traffic isn't as loud. Things roll off
my back so easily and I am finally saying to myself
that life is great! Roberta has helped me see life in
a whole new way. Her professionalism, her technique,
her gentle, caring thoughts, and her soothing voice
are a joy to come to every week. She is brilliant at
what she does, and I have never met with a doctor who
is more committed, more willing, and more in love with
what she does than Roberta Mittman.
In best health,
