Roberta is the best in class!

by MP20

I have been going to Roberta's practice for some years now when my stress was overwhelming my body and my shoulders were tense and stiff. In one session, Roberta gave me my happiness back! I don't like needles and I don't like to suffer, and I can testify, I love Roberta's acupuncture - it has been my go-to treatment for tension, circulation, digestive issues. I like the fact that Roberta is a 360 degrees Therapist, she has a way of helping from the inside and the outside. I also like the fact that she is very sensitive and humane, she is genuinely caring for her patients and seem to always find the right word that make any issue clearer and better. I am a big fan and I strongly recommend Roberta - she is the best!

Surest, easiest way to quit smoking

by CorrinaInBrooklyn

After years of thinking that I'd like to maybe quit smoking someday, I had finally decided that I was ready to do it. And I had no idea how go about it. I had tried Welbutrin 5 years ago, and then Chantix 2 years ago. Both got me down to just a few cigaretts a day, but they had very disconcerting side effects.

Then, this year, I was determined to finally quit smoking. I just needed to figure out how. I didn't want to try any more medication, and nicotine replacement didn't make much sense to me. I talked to lots of people, and I did some online research. The concensus seemed to be that acupuncture and hypnotherapy both worked quite well. So I found a place that specialized in helping people quit smoking through the use of acupuncture and hypnotherapy.

I went to the Park Avenue Center for Wellbeing and saw their acupuncturist, Roberta Mittman. She recommended that I also see their hypnotherapist, Annie Siegel. Annie also does EFT ("tapping") as part of her treatments. It all sounded a bit new age-ey, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Over the course of 1 week, I had 3 appointments with each of them. These treatments, especially together, are very powerful. I was still smoking a few cigarettes a day after my last appointment. I continued to smoke for two more days, and then I was done! 16 years smoking and 1 week to kick it! It's the easiest, fastest, and surest way to quit. It's not the cheapest, but it's very much worth it. I absolutely recommend this treatment to stop smoking.

Thank you Roberta, Annie, and the rest of the staff at the Park Avenue Center for Wellbeing!

Best Healer in Town

by DennisWayne

I *highly* recommend Robert Mittman as a wonderful, sensitive, all-around healer. She's very talented, well-schooled in all aspects of the alternative field, and extremely intuitive. I've gone to Roberta for many problems including longstanding issues and have always received her full attention and on-the-money help in resolving these. I really rely on her for both physical and emotional treatment. She's my first line of defense against the troubles of the world. Just go.

• Pros: Great healing atmosphere/great healer

Professional, Reassuring, and Great!

by msgfarb77

I was hesitant to try acupuncture, but after chiropractics and massages failed to help, I decided to give it a try. I was nervous, but from the moment I met Roberta she put me at ease. She works with you not just to treat the muscles, but to work with you to help uncover the cause of the tension.

I always enjoy visiting with her as her reassuring manner makes me realize everything is going to be okay... by the end of every session I'm more relaxed and more in tune with myself, and my muscles are relaxed and ready to get back to my life.

If you've ever been curious about acupuncture but afraid to try it, I highly recommend visiting Roberta at the Park Avenue Center for Well Being.

Go in for a tune-up!

by amn19

I initially went to Roberta because I was curious about acupuncture. I had friends and family who liked it, so I wanted to see what it was all about. But as a generally healthy person, I didn't know what acupuncture could do for me (and let me just say that I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of being pricked in multiple places! Eek!). Well, all of my apprehensions vanished once the session began. Roberta made me feel comfortable and relaxed. And I was BLOWN AWAY by the results of just a single session! Immediately, I felt like I was functioning at an optimum level. I had loads of energy, was sleeping better than ever, waking up alert and refreshed, plowing through my "to do" list (even accomplishing things that had been left unattended for months). And the cold I was coming down with never came. I was like super-me! You know how when you go to the doctor for a regular check-up, you walk out basically the same as you came in? Well, after seeing Roberta, I walk out feeling supercharged, an effect that lasts for weeks. Don't wait until something is wrong with you to go see Roberta (although if something is, I highly suggest you see her right away). I continue to see Roberta because me life is just better when I do. Yours will be, too.

Roberta is so great at what she does!

by CarrieL475

I've been seeing Roberta for the past couple of years for problems ranging from anxiety and insomnia to muscle aches and digestive problems. She is the most caring and attentive practitioner i've ever seen and just really knows what she's doing. Not only does she work magic with acupuncture, but she has such a vast breadth of knowledge regarding supplements, herbs, homepathic medicine, etc. She always seems to know everything that is going on in the world of alternative medicine and never stops educating herself. I would recommend Roberta to anybody who wants to see amazing results in their health. She's the best!

Best help with neck pain!

by jtigal

I injured my neck playing tennis a few weeks ago and could only move it from side to side with great difficulty and pain. First I got a massage which seemed to help, but only temporarily-- the pain came back and my mobility was not any better. Then I went to Roberta and she did acupuncture on my neck--- I was a bit nervous at first but you can't even feel the needles-- and that very day my neck pain was GONE! I couldn't believe it. I can't recommend Roberta enough.

The best out there!

by amma2662

Roberta Mittman is truly exceptional, and I will forever be thankful to her. I have struggled with my weight for years, both on physical and emotional levels. She has helped me to manage my weight effectively through a combination of her methods. Roberta's warm and positive disposition is contagious, and I leave my appointments feeling like a different person. She's the best...!

A Gifted and Caring Healer

by peter09

I was referred by a friend to Roberta for the treatment of severe food allergies several years ago. Since beginning treatment, my ability to eat a wide array of food has improved dramatically. Robertas multifaceted approach to healing introduced me to Neuro Emotional Technique which she used as an adjunct therapy in our acupuncture sessions. This technique helps patients recover from the trauma of past instances of emotional distress that can manifest as poor health, negative belief systems, self sabotage and low self esteem. Getting free of these past emotional blockages has not only improved me physically, but emotionally as well. In fact, my N.E.T. sessions with Roberta are the highlight of my week. With her guidance, expertise, and intuitive nature she has helped me zone in to the core of my health issues. I am now light years healthier, happier and stronger physically and emotionally than I ever knew was possible. I feel truly blessed to have Roberta in my life.
