Dr Rong Shen Lin was recommended by a friend who had wrist issues and was highly recommended, but he also warned me on the waiting time. I decided to take a shot anyway because my wrist was seriously in pain.

I visited him three times. The first two treatments temporarily healed me.  My friend was right--the waiting times were horrible. The first time I waited for over an hour & close to two.  The second visit was insane, I waited 3-4 hours!!  And both times I had appointments made!  I was told DR Rong was no where to be found and later found out he wasn"t picking up his phone because he was teaching and running late! How can you not call your own office and notify the patients??? That is totally wrong & shows lack of concern and respect to his patients!  As in patients time are not valuable!  But I thought to myself, maybe this is only a one time thing.

The pain come back due to frequent carrying heavy things & just daily usage of my hand/arms. So I visited again for the third time and it happened to be my last! I made an appointment for 4:30pm and I waited for two hours!  I was then called to another room to wait and I sat there for another hour! This really make me very mad! Obviously they don"t respect the patients" time and certainly don"t honor the appointment times! I asked them what is the point of making an appointment if I have to come in to wait for 3 hours? Their respond was ridiculous! They said patients need to make appointment to come in to wait!  So the appointment is not to be seen by the doctor, but to go in and be on a waiting list!!  Do they even know the meaning of an appointment?  Then Dr Rong gave me this lame excuse saying that each patient takes different length of time to care. That"s why patients need to waited.   I can understand 10, 15, or 30 mins.  And maybe an unusual 60 mins once in a blue moon.  I told him they purposely overbook!  When I left the office at 7pm, there were people still waiting.

Since I made a complaint during my 3rd visit, my acupuncture treatment that day was bad.  My wrist was worst than before I seen him. Not sure if the nurse did it by purpose (since I complained to her) she put the stimulation so high I was in pain! My wrist was swollen after treatment and I told the nurse this never happened last two times. She told me to use hot pad!  Thank God I didn"t listen! Because she should have advised me to use cold pads instead. Hot treatments will make it worse!  Did they do it by purpose?

If you have all the time on earth to wait even on appointments made and not be respected as an individual, please go.  As a doctor, I think he is a ok. The office staff and how it"s runned-worst ever seen!  Sure there are other great acupuncturists out there.  Good luck!

The doctor worked magic on my allergies. Two sessions and I was able to breathe for the summer. Mind you I exhausted everything from Allegra, claritin, zertax, and steroids for my season allergies. And so I made the dreadful appointment to return this year. It’s true the wait is ridiculous. I go to the flushing office. I know going in that my 330 appointment really means sign in, leave my phone number and go food shopping in flushing because like always he won’t call my name till probably 530. But closer to 630.

I’ve been going to Dr. Rong-​Sheng Lin for years for allergy relief. I used to be on multiple allergy medications(spring and fall allergies) and would still suffer from severe allergy symptoms. After three sessions of acupuncture, I was«cleansed/​detoxed» and medication free for a year. Since then I go back every year or so before allergy season hits and I haven’t had a problem since. For that relief, I’m willing to put up with the rude staff, long wait, cash only, and pricey up-​front costs.

I haven’t experience any of the inappropriate experiences that some of the other female Unilocalers have reported. He can be brisk with his diagnosis and when he touches an area, it’s to feel a pulse or to trace the qi line. I’ve asked him these kind of questions before and he would very helpfully point out what the area he touched(such as wrist or shin) was on the anatomical poster on the wall and its respective qi line.

Every time I go, I end up chatting with some of the other patients. While most come for allergies(even out of state), there was a woman that told me she suffered from paralysis from her right arm to torso and years of physical therapy and medication were futile so she turned to acupuncture. After two months of treatment, she regained feeling and when I saw her she was nearly healed.

I have chronic spring allergies: burning eyes, sneezing, itchy throat and ears. I was taking 3 prescription medications to pacify my allergies but nothing was working this year. A friend from work recommended dr lin. After having a sleepless saturday night due to constant sneezing and burning eyes. I took appointment with dr lin at their flushing location. I did not experience any wait. The whole session lasted about 20 minutes. And the results were almost instant. I haven’t sneezed through the entire allergy season.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Rong-​Sheng Lin for about 5 years. Before that I’d been receiving acupuncture regularly since 1992 with multiple people. Dr. Lin is absolutely incredible. He speaks almost no English so you will just have to trust that he knows what to do with you. He won’t be able to explain what he’s doing and you won’t be able to tell him much about what is wrong with you but he will figure it out.

I’m a professional dancer here in NYC and have had many injuries that needed really fast, really good treatments. His treatments make the pain and inflammation go away 50% right away and then 50% within a couple of days. He’s enabled me to perform many times when I wouldn’t have been able to, with issues like neck spasms, sprained joints, broken toes, psoas spasms, etc.

He has also completely removed my chronic allergy problems. I used to have to take 2 types of allergy medicine every day all year long since I was allergic to dust which is everywhere. Now I take nothing and have no more chronic issues at any time of the year.

As other people have written, the office and reservation system there is absolutely awful. The people behind the desk are very cold and uncommunicative. They only take cash and some insurances but those take forever to get processed. If you go during any of the prime times… Saturday daytime, weekday nighttime, any time in the spring allergy season, you can expect to wait approximately forever. If you know this ahead of time, you can just prepare for it. You can leave your cellphone number there and go eat in Chinatown or walk around and shop. I often bring my sewing that I need to do and get a lot done in the waiting room. Or you could nap. Or you could read books. Or daydream, just don’t expect that you’ll get in quickly. Allow for at least 4 hours. You might get in right away, it might take 3 hours to get in. I know, it’s ridiculous but I’m telling you, Dr. Lin is worth it. He’s amazing.

And to top it off — they have the rudest staff I’ve ever encountered. If you want any help getting materials for insurance, good luck. Just to see if you are a patient in the system, they need a week. They have the most primitive patient records system. This place is a nightmare.

Dr Lin is the best! He has practically cured me of my seasonal allergies. Keep in mind there will always be at least an hour wait during the allergy season but you can always check in, leave a cell #, and they will call you when it’s almost your turn. The receptionists aren’t very friendly but Dr Lin is a sweetheart. He is definitely worth the wait and the $$.

I completely agree with Glen C’s review written below. My husband and I experienced the WORST customer service earlier this week at Dr. Lin’s office EVER.

We had a 3 pm appointment and were finally called into one of the patient rooms at 5:30 pm. After being ushered hastily to one of the private rooms we had to wait another 25 minutes before the doctor came in, asked a handful of questions, stuck some needles in the wrong areas(I say wrong because they were not put in the problem areas we described and later found out when going to another acupuncturist that Dr. Lin’s session was absolutely useless because he placed the needles in the incorrect spots) and never came back as promised to answer the rest of our questions. A nurse came in and finished the process.

The worst part about this office is the front desk staff — they are the rudest people I have ever met in my life and I don’t believe that they have any idea of what proper customer service is supposed to be like. They demanded $ 90 cash for payment which was never disclosed to me when I called to make the appointment as a new patient. When we explained that we didn’t have cash on us and would be willing to pay with credit/​debit card or personal check the front desk associate very loudly and rudely demanded for my husband’s driver’s license and then told us that we have to go to the ATM to retrieve cash otherwise we wouldn’t be given his license back. They also told us that we are not allowed to speak with the doctor to have the rest of our questions answered until our next appointment and said that we must come in four times a week for the next 3 – 4 weeks for treatment. We were very civil in telling them that we would not be coming back and without even asking why they just shrugged us off and continued gossiping with one another about their personal lives.

First I have to start out by saying I went to Dr. Lin about 5 or 6 years ago for seasonal allergy and at that time there was already a long line in the start of the day, Even though you make an appt. it means nothing. You always have to wait a minimum of 1 hr if you’re lucky. Back then I went for 5 treatment and I felt good… not completely allergy symptom free but about 90%. It cost $ 60 for first treatment.

This time I felt my symptoms are getting worst and I don’t want to use any allergy medication since it knocks me out. I decided to go to Dr. Lin again even though there is a crazy long wait. This time I paid $ 90. and there is at least min 1.5 hr wait. I saw a few people walked out of the office because the wait is too long and ridiculous, Finally my turn and i went to the room w/​curtains but I had to wait another 10min before Dr. Lin see me. Okay, he insert needles and assistant attached needle to electric machine. After 20min the assist came in and remove needles and that was it. The symptoms only got a little better not as good as when I went to him 6 years ago.

I went there 3 times but on my 3rd time I notice something different. I was sharing a room with a Caucasian man and we are both waiting for Dr. Lin. Finally he stop by and he first put needles on me and then he went to the man and start to pop open needles in the package to use on him. I realize that he use fresh new needles on the Caucasian man but for me he was using needles straight from a needle box. I was in SHOCKED because I realize the needles he used on me was not fresh from the package. It was OLD NEEDLES that he may have disinfect.

I went back for 2nd session and I haven’t taken any allergy medicine in 3 weeks. And I don’t have any symptoms at all. It definitely got worse before it got better but I’d say it was worth it.

He also specialized in sports medicine so I told a few friends to try him for that. One said it helped his shoulder pain(from snowboading) and another said he helped his bruised thigh(from basketball), and another for general back pains.

Acupuncture is very case specific, although he helped me, my father and 4 friends, a third friend tried him once for stomach issues and didn’t notice any affect. It could be he needed more treatment or that illness was not going to respond to this type of treatment. So don’t expect miracles, but it’s worth a try.

Before going there, I called ahead and made a 3pm appointment. I also asked how long it takes to be seen, and the girl said the whole thing takes half an hour. I ask — «So if I come in at 3, I’ll definitely be outta there by 4?» and she says yes.

Get in there at 3pm, get sat in the waiting room with tapes of Mr Bean playing(yes, seriously, in 2011) until 4:20. Eventually get shown to the actual private room, then get left alone on the bench /​bed for about another 15 minutes before anyone comes in.

Doctor comes in eventually and starts in with his comedy routine. If I’m in a place with pain bad enough that I want needles shoved in my back, chances are I’m not in the mood for yuks, I’m in the mood for you getting down to business and fixing my back.

For most individuals, two sessions at $ 70 a pop(price was raised after they moved to their new location on Mott Street, Unilocal should be updating the core information soon) is all you’ll need to be allergy free for the rest of the season. On a side note, first time patients will be charged $ 80 on their first visit, the extra $ 10 probably covers administrative fees. For a few individuals, you might have to pony up for three sessions to really have the seasonal cure stick, I think I went for three sessions during my first year as a patient.

The new location is at 128 Mott St. New York, NY 10 013, Suite 606. The new waiting room is air conditioned I think(didn’t notice) and there’s a large LCD versus that old small CRT they used to have playing Asian movies. All in all, the new offices and patient rooms are definitely a few notches better than the old.

There’s a reason why on Dr. Lin Rong Sheng’s off days, the place is deserted. I’ve seen one of the other doctors there once and though it helped a little(no more sneezing or runny nose), my throat was still dry and itchy until I went back to see Dr. Lin Rong Sheng a few days later. I never experienced the throat issue after seeing Dr. Lin Rong Sheng.

Two sessions of acupuncture with Dr. Lin leaves me allergy-​free for the rest of the season. Each visit costs $ 60. It’s best to go before springtime(around late March or early April) before your symptoms start to show.

The needles hurt and leave me bruised. BUT, I think it is different for every person because nothing happens to my sister. Plus, I’d take this pain over allergies any day. The needles get hooked up to some electric device thing. You have to tell the nurse to stop when you feel them pulsating. It sounds scary but it’s not that bad. The whole thing lasts about 15 minutes.
