“Robin is simply fantastic at what she does. I am a competitive athlete and was searching for ways to better enhance my recovery and overall performance. Robin exceeded my expectations. She is excellent at her craft and takes the time to know you, your treatment concerns, and your goals. She is professional, knowledgeable, and after a few months of weekly sessions I have seen marked improvements in my training. Thank you Robin! I cannot recommend her highly enough!!” - H. Clark

 COVID Conscientious

After sheltering in place for several months, I decided that I really needed to get out of the house and have an acupuncture treatment to deal with pent up anxiety and overall muscle tension. Robin has gone above and beyond to maintain a strict sanitization protocol. She checks-in with her patients the day before the appointment to screen for COVID-19 symptoms; she takes temperature as we enter the office; and has high powered Hepa filters in place. Her rooms are clean and minimalist. Of course, there is hand sanitizer at key points. It was a relief to be able to let my hair down and relax. I’ve been coming regularly to maintain my equilibrium in these times.

Robin is fantastic! She’s caring and thoughtful, and has a tremendous depth of knowledge matched with excellent skill. She is able to address chronic and acute issues and always ends sessions with a lovely back rub and scalp massage. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Robin Gellman is a skilled and thoughtful practitioner. She has helped relieve severe lower back pain during recent sessions and previously was successful in addressing pain in one of my knees. I look forward to my acupuncture appointments, both for the therapeutic assistance and because they are peaceful and relaxing.

I have been going to Robin now for almost 2 years and was referred to her by my previous acupuncturist that moved out of the area. My reason for going is to maintain my overall health although when necessary, Robin will treat any acute issue I am experiencing. Robin has a very calming nature and makes you feel welcome and relaxed. For me, going to Robin is just as much for pampering as it is for maintaining good health. I always look forward to my appointments. I highly recommend her!

Prevention & Restoration

Robin is an extremely knowledgeable and intuitive healer. She is the first line of defense and preventative medicine practitioner for my entire family. Bonus includes: easy to schedule appointment, location is great and health insurance accepted. Robin’s acupuncture combined with cupping technique is my absolute favorite appointment, puts me on cloud 9 every time. I highly recommend her!

Pain Reduction & Remediation

Robin has been a true partner in my healthy journey. I came to her several years ago due to an elbow ligament injury that doctors told me could only be fixed with surgery, without promise of recovery. Robin took a thorough and evidence based approach to treatment and I fully recovered without surgery! In addition, she has supported my health in multiple ways including specific resources, stress and body tension release due to over working. I have highly recommended her to my friends and family and encourage anyone looking for a healthcare professional that is informed, always learning, collaborative and professional to reach out to Robin today. Also, if you have never as acupuncture - don’t worry. Robin works with you in a way that is both comfortable and effective. Call her today!

I was introduced to Robin by a mutual friend given a lower pack pain. She immediately worked on it and was able to ease it after two sessions. I then decided to stay on a regular basis given her outstanding knowledge and professionalism. Her studio is very clean, peaceful and she is very dedicated to work on changing lifestyles. I strongly recommend her.
— R. Olmos
I have had a great experience with Robin since I started weekly treatments. I originally sought out acupuncture treatments to relieve pain associated with hip arthritis, and the treatments have provided significant relief. The sessions are very restorative and I feel much better after treatments.
I have learned much from Robin about functional medicine and the suggestions and information she has offered has been very helpful.
On the business side, Robin is super organized and makes the insurance interaction very painless which is a big benefit.
I highly recommend trying out her acupuncture services.
— N. Satriano
I began seeing Robin because I had chronic back pain. From day one, it was clear she was very knowledgeable about pain management. She was also willing to discuss other holistic remedies, including diet and sleep remedies.
She takes her time with each session. She is consistent and is always ready on time. She begins by having a conversation with you about what brought you in for treatment. After that she starts with the acupuncture session. She needles both sides of your body and follows the session up with cupping and a light massage.
Billing is a breeze with her as well. She accepts insurance and is very organized. In short, she keeps on top of her accounting. This is important for me because I was previously treated by an acupuncturist who was disorganized and could not remember if I had paid her. You will not encounter this with Robin.

Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation

In anticipation of my daughter’s November 2014 wedding, I went to see Robin in August 2014 for facial rejuvenation treatments. Robin worked wonders! My treatments, which include acupuncture, cupping and massage, are so relaxing and rejuvenating, I have continued monthly visits to try to forestall the inevitable. Robin is warm, welcoming and highly professional.

Neurological Challenges

I developed Bells Palsy and was obviously, very upset especially in talking to the doctors and reading the literature that it takes 12-16 weds to recover. A study at the Mayo Clinic indicated a very positive acceleration of healing through acupuncture. I contacted Robin Gellman and she dove into the literature as well and created an intense 14 day program in which I saw her each day for acupuncture, electro-stimulation and massage to my face and head. After the 14 days, the symptoms had significantly reduced and were eliminated after five weeks. The therapy she did more than reduced the time to recover by half. that would have been enough however, her incredibly compassionate caring, ability to appreciate my discomfort, her calming presence and her expertise in acupuncture gave me the confidence that I was in the right hands. I would recommend Robin without hesitation and have directed others to her already. To have the opportunity have her work her healing arts and science is a great gift.

Stress & Anxiety Reduction

Been working with Robin for several years. Her practice works seamlessly with insurance. Her acupuncture skills are phenomenal. Incredibly therapeutic and highly recommend for anyone.
— A. Lenkin
I found Robin 2 1/2 years ago at my workplace health fair and my husband and I have been going regularly ever since. Through the years she has helped us with various aches and ailments, but we enjoy going even when we’re in good health—an hour with Robin is sublimely restorative! Her knowledge, advice and calming demeanor really shine. And the fact that her business takes insurance and handles all the paperwork is a wonderful bonus.
— K. Longsworth
Robin Gellman is caring and acutely talented acupuncturist. Robin asks thoughtful mental and physical health-related questions at the beginning of each appointment and subsequently tailors the acupuncture session accordingly to maximize benefit. She is a wealth of other health-related information including diet, exercise and meditation and dispenses with such advice in a well-informed, thoughtful and time-appropriate manner. On a practical level, while the building is a bit quirky, Robin’s office space is very clean and calming and the building has ample parking enabling easy access. I can not imagine a more skilled and caring acupuncturist and I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking an acupuncturist.
— R Fernandez
I’ve been to my share of health practitioners, but let me tell you, Robin is a real healer with a true gift. I consider myself completely blessed to have been referred to her, and she 100% deserves her outstanding reputation. Robin has helped me with a whole list of chronic issues, including shoulder pain and anxiety, that I had been dealing with for years (despite Western “conventional” treatments). She is also the consummate professional; responsive, efficient and organized.
— E. Leech-Black
Robin is great! She is knowledgeable and has helped me alleviate pain and stress in my body. I highly recommend her!

Digestion

Having been treated by several acupuncturists over the past ten years without much success, I experienced relief from ongoing GI distress after the first treatment by Robin. She is intuitive and holistic in her approach. I highly recommend her.

Cancer Support

Five stars! Hugely supportive!
— E. Cunningham
Helped me reduce hot flashes and deal with peripheral neuropathy. And, of course the stress reduction assistance was essential. High marks.
