This is by no means an exhaustive list, If you want to find out more, Please contact us here. Dr. Daniel Bernstein has been a licensed acupuncturist since 1995. It was at the New York Center for Pain Management that he learned many methods to help people in pain get relief for post-operative pain, sports related trauma, muscular pain and repetitive stress.
Many people are surprised to learn that hypnosis is an effective tool for resolving emotional issues. Aside from its known ability to help people Stop Smoking for Good, and for Natural Weight Release, Hypnosis may assist you in other areas where you feel stuck, or where you lack control, such as Obsessive Thinking.
Word's out: you can relieve muscle pain with cupping. In fact this ancient, pain- free modality has recently received a great deal attention. Many top athletes like Michael Phelps are seen sporting large, bruise-like circles on their bodies. But cupping has been around for thousands of years and is a common practice around the world including South America and Europe.
Eventually, the body slowly begins to wear down and, over time, break down. It's my belief that it helps to be pro-active in slowing that process. Using a simple muscle test we can see the health of your hormone system. If there is wear and tear on your thyroid, your adrenals or any gland/hormone, we seek to repair it using whole food supplements which help to balance your hormones to get you feeling your best.

Dr. Dan helped me become a non-smoker after 15 years!
I went to see him the last week of February 2020. That's right, I started my journey to quit smoking just a couple weeks before the pandemic changed EVERYTHING. And miraculously, even through the stress, fear and sadness over the state of the world AND losing my job, creating a huge personal shift - I never even had the desire to pick smoking back up, and I can say without a doubt that is thanks to my visits with Dr. Dan.
He is professional, knowledgable and willing to work through any of your concerns.

I went to Daniel wanting to work on some issues I’d struggled with. We did hypnosis and acupuncture. I was a bit nervous coming in...but there is just something about him that puts you at ease. I was honest with him and I felt truly heard by him. I also felt really really safe. I think he just has such a way of being kind and truly doing his best to help. He’s a gem. I’m also a bit sensitive with needles so first time sessions are scary for me. But I didn’t even feel them! I highly recommend him. I saw him before the pandemic and although I won’t be visiting nyc until next year or closer

Went in to see him today because I enjoy cupping. I had a wonderful experience. Hes very kind, not pushy,, and very knowledgeable. I've been a Massage Therapist for 13 years now and know when someone is experienced honest and knowledgeable. I'm going to try to work with him with my fertility as well as diet, sleeping issues and stress reduction. I enjoyed the acupuncture and my allergy assessment. Will keep you posted. Thanks Daniel.

Dan was very helpful with me in getting to my weight goals. He is very honest and professional and managed my expectations throughout our sessions. I feel like my sessions with him helped me to get back on a path of healthy eating and realistic goals. I would highly recommend Dan and also plan to have follow up sessions if I get off the path again.

I had a wonderful visit here, I had so much trouble sleeping and came here for desperate help. Mr. Bernstein did his series of tests and then suggested certain health supplements to take based on the tests. They definitely helped me so I continued taking them, I am very thankful for coming in and helping restore my health to a better standard! Thank you Mr. Bernstein

Dan is amazing! He is always in tune with whats up with my body, and knows the most effective way to help restore health and wellness. I've been seeing him for years. NRT and Acupuncture has restored my health and well being, and whenever I'm over stressed out hes able to help put me back on track with hypnosis sessions to help me stop spiraling thoughts. If I'm feeling crummy or even if I walk in feeling great - I always leave feeling so much better.

WONDERFUL ACUPUNCTURIST! I've been a patient of Dan's for over 2 years and he has helped me with lung health, back pain, anxiety and over all stress reduction. He is very kind, gentle, knowledgable, respectful and caring! He also excepts insurance which is very helpful! If you are new to acupuncture he is the perfect person to work with. Very highly recommended!

Dan Bernstein at Blue Phoenix Wellness is a very good alternative medicine practitioner. I have seen him for both acupuncture and hypnotherapy. He has a real gift and is part of my personal support team to keep me going and help me thrive here in NYC. What I like the most is that he fixes the problems I have had. Both with herbal medical and acupuncture therapy and dare I say psychological remedy with his hypnotic suggestion sessions. I just know it works.
I give him a five star review. A very nice experience all around with a convenient address with a nice office experience and wonderful service

I've been going to Dan for over a year now, and have had nothing but great experiences with him. I wanted treatment not only for my lower back pain, but also to center myself mentally. I've been able to accomplish both with a combination of acupuncture and cupping with Dan.
I highly recommend him for anyone looking to test if acupuncture is right for them.

I found Blue Phoenix 2 years ago and Dan has helped my husband and I in so many ways. Before, during and after my pregnancy. Acupuncture, hypnosis and even just talking to Dan did wonders to my well being. We worked on stress, anxiety, pains, herniated disc and every time I left his office I felt better. He is knowledgeable, experienced and most importantly, deeply compassionate person.

Dan is a masterful acupuncturist, and will tailor the treatment to the client's personal needs. I tried cupping with acupuncture at the same time, and it was incredible! I felt like a million bucks after leaving the office -- as if my whole body had briefly reached a higher vibration. I will definitely be returning, and trying additional treatments that Dan offers. His office is a very welcoming and calm environment, and he makes sure that the patient is comfortable throughout the session. Also his prices are very reasonable, even if your insurance doesn't cover acupuncture. Such a gem

Amazing just amazing !! Words can't describe how appreciate I am to Dr.Bernstein. I feel like I can finally breathe again. I came in to deal with my anxiety. I must admit I was quite skeptical of hypnotherapy and acupuncture . The moment I walked in I was instantly welcomed . Dr.Bernstein really does genuinely care about your well being and who you are . He spends a decent amount of time trying to get to the root of your issues which is much more than I can say for a lot of other doctors . He also does a great job in explaining everything he's doing so you can really comprehend how it

I recommend Dan for hypnotism. He is clearly very experienced and easily put me into the hypnotic state. He also worked with me on prompts to use to help me with my issue, which was pretty specific and unusual. I went back a few times, and the best part is: it actually works! It's also a great tool for relaxation. You leave feeling like you've been meditating for hours!

I tend not to believe in this kind of thing, but was desperate and gave it a try. And it worked! Dan alleviated me in two sessions of what a lovely physical therapist could not do in twenty sessions. I'd actually tried acupuncture a couple of times before and found it a non-event, but was blown away that it worked this time, as well as by the extent of Dan's knowledge of Chinese medicine, and his length of experience (because he comes across really humble). I can't promise everyone will have the same success I did, but I've already recommended him without reservation to friends

I could not sit comfortably thru a movie or work at a computer at any length before I started seeing him. Now I have very rare flare ups and seeing him for maintenance keeps me pain free for months on end.
