Patchi is one of the most skilled healers I've had the pleasure of working with. Her awesome excitement for the healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine is matched only by her enthusiasm for her patients' wellness. Working with Patchi is such a treat because of her thoughtful treatments, uplifting energy, and skilled implementation of TCM practices. I noticed that her patience and genuine inquiry into my well-being led me to be more mindful and healthy in my day-to-day life. I can't recommend Patchi highly enough! She's a seriously gifted healer and such a lovely person.

Dr. Patchi Malfitano Is an expert at what she does! I have never felt so cared for or listened to by a medical professional before. Acupuncture has significantly impacted my life for the better. I have several chronic pain conditions from digestive issues to lower back pain to foot pain and nothing has manage this pain like acupuncture. I get honest and practical advice about my issues and always always leave feeling better after.

Since I visited Dr. Malfitano, my symptoms subsided significantly. Besides her successfully treating my pain, her process of working with me and my body was very impressive; no acupuncturist took the time and care as Dr. Malfitano did. We discussed my condition and history while she assessed my body. She attended to my pains by opening up the area before needling -- none of my previous acupuncturists did that! This process, I thought, made a big difference to the speed and quality of my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Malfitano.

I have worked with many acupuncturists and Dr. Patchi is hands down the most skillful and effective doctor I know who offers this modality of healing. I truly look forward to seeing her every week and I can say with confidence that my quality of life and self care has improved since I began working with her. She sees and treats all of me. I regard her as an acupuncturist, herbalist, body worker, therapist, coach, and friend. She is masterful at her practice, and blends curious and compassionate conversation with hands-on treatment. Together we have worked on issues related to TMJ, anxiety, stress, sleep, menstrual cycle, pain, acute injury, and more. She looks through a holistic lens to find balance between what in my mind are my restful/inward/yin and active/outward/yang parts at the root source(s). She looks at the big picture and does not target one particular area or issue and, in doing so, always seeks the most sustainable and beneficial treatment no matter what I walk in the door with. She meets me wherever I am that day and acknowledges whatever my experience is with gentleness, hope, and encouragement. Her beautiful space mirrors her warm and caring approach to healing. I always feel comfortable and safe in her hands...and I have the best naps on her table! Thank you, Patchi!

Patchi is one of the best healers I have ever met, I value her knowledge and caring demeanor, as well as her excellent bedside manner - cannot recommend her enough!

Patchi is a Chinese Medicine magician! She is extremely thorough in her evaluation and very skilled and in-tune with knowing and/or figuring out what you may need. She goes above and beyond, incorporating multiple Chinese medicine techniques into her practice, and it radiates through her work that she does everything with the utmost care. Patchi is a true healer :)

Patchi is an amazing healer! From my first appointment with her, I felt safe, heard, and truly cared for. She is a thoughtful, caring, and a gifted practitioner who takes the time to really dig into what's going on and tailor her treatments to each person's individual needs. Both in the treatment room and through her outreach between sessions, she goes above and beyond: communicating about the treatment plan, checking in, and holding a space to support wherever you are in your healing journey. Patchi has helped me with specific challenges as well as improving my overall health. Working with her has helped me to cultivate more of an awareness and understanding of my own health and wellbeing. I highly recommend Patchi to anyone looking for a skilled, caring guide and partner in holistic wellness.

In just a few visits, Dr. Malfitano has changed my life! NOt only is my TMJ decreasing, but she also created a remedy of herbs to reduce my nightmares and anxiety! She is highly knowledgable and also has a calm disposition which makes every appointment something I look forward to!

Dr. Malfitano was a pleasure to work with. She's a wealth of information and quite skilled. She had me stretching in between sessions, which I believe contributed to the speed of my recovery. Her curiosity about my general health beyond my back pain focused on a more holistic approach. After just five sessions, my sciatica had completely subsided, which was good and bad. Good - because I did not like living with pain. Bad because I had actually come to enjoy our sessions. If you have back pain make sure you go to Dr. Malfitano. What are you waiting for?

I've had chronic neck and shoulder pain for about a decade. I've tried everything from physical therapy to massage to chiropractic care, and nothing was making meaningful progress. A couple months ago I decided to try acupuncture with Patchi. From the very first appointment, I was impressed by her approach. She asked a lot of questions to understand my experience with my pain, and to learn more about my overall health and lifestyle which was then factored into a treatment plan. This uniquely tailor-made approach to care is so refreshingly different from what I had become used to. With each session, I experience more pain relief and my trust in Patchi and her expertise grows. I cannot recommend her more!

Dr. Malfitano has changed my life! Prior to starting acupuncture, I had daily headaches ranging in severity. As someone with chronic pain, I would try ANYTHING to alleviate my head pain and found no luck for years. Finding Patchi has been a game changer; her holistic approach to healing has completely shifted my day to day life. I no longer experience headaches everyday, and often go days without one now. When I do get a headache, they are much weaker in severity. I appreciate that she focuses on the whole picture, and takes the time to understand what else is going on. As someone with anxiety, I was nervous to try acupuncture, but Patchi continues to make me feel safe, supported, and cared for. I truly feel more aligned after each session and I cannot recommend her enough!

Patchi is truly magical. I have been dealing with major anxiety since the pandemic and Patchi has listened and assessed and we have begun to make major strides in my progress. I am so grateful to her and the work that she does. Every session is tailored to my body and emotional state.

Patchi has been incredible! I came to her with TMJ/TMD pain so bad that I could barely chew, and in just a few sessions I was no longer in constant pain. While TMJ was the reason I first came to her she has also helped address other pains, bloating, anxiety, and stress that I have. She looks at your overall health and life and takes all factors into account when crafting her approach. Patchi is kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and has a very calming presence about her that make you feel at ease during sessions. I have never left a session not feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and pain free!

Dr. Malfitano 100% helped me get back on track after experiencing long haul symptoms of COVID-19. She simply is the best in NYC!
