Very knowledgeable and professional with great bedside manners. It is my first experience with acupuncture, I came in for hair loss treatment and had three sessions so far. I am seeing some results already which I can't say about some other types of treatments I had. I very much recommend Tranquility Base Acupuncture!
Absolutely amazing!!! Prisca is beyond wonderful and her space is very comfortable and her practice amazing.
Prisca is a highly skilled acupuncturist and TCM/holistic medicine practitioner. I have just had a few sessions with her so far, but I can see how detailed and caring she is. I have seen a handful of various acupuncturists and TCM practitioners in NYC, and Prisca is by far the best. I'm very impressed with her attention to detail and how tailored each session is. I also love how her sweet dog, Luna, greets me at the door and is there for emotional support. I highly recommend Prisca for fertility, balancing hormones, boosting immune, and general female health.
Dr. Prisca is wonderful. Her office is peaceful, well curated, and calm. I have seen over 10 times and went to see her to work on my general health, low energy, various sleep issues, potential blood issues, and women's hormones. She is caring and attentive to your health information. She focused on integrative medicine and functional review of my concerns. I definitely felt much improvement in my energy levels and sleep. I love her cupping treatments! She is also great at hair loss and facial treatments and has her own hair product. I would recommend her to anyone and especially women, and the LGBTQIA community. I highly recommend her for eastern medicine and acupuncture expertise for all integrative health and hormone issues! Thank you so much Dr. Prisca!

Prisca is amazing. I leave feeling like a new person every time. Being a regular client I have seen incredible improvement in my alignment and much less pain. I even sleep better
Really beautiful and tranquil experience (sorry to use this word but it really describes the experience for me!) Very tailor made for you- I’m super sensitive and Prisca was very accommodating with extra small needles. Very emotionally in tune and holding a space within the practice. A real holistic experience. I wouldn’t rely on acupuncture as some “miracle” to make a certain thing for sure happen, but it could definitely be a tool to help. Was a much more peaceful and in touch and deep experience than I had with any other acupuncturist. Note that insurance may not count full fee but only part of it towards out of network deductible (at least for mine it was like this). Very cool that insurance will reimburse you and she knows the right codes to put in and how to bill and write receipt. A wonderful form of self care 💕💕💕 thank you Prisca!
Prisms is amazing! I am already seeing such a difference in pain level, sleep, and digestion in just three sessions
I highly recommend seeing Prisca! After a long history with amenorrhea, I was having trouble getting my cycle back after I had my first baby. After a few weeks of treatment, Prisca successfully helped get my body back on track and regulate my hormones. She was always extremely thorough and available between appointments to answer all of my questions. Prisca is very dedicated to her patients and a fantastic acupuncturist. I am so lucky I found her!
Wonderful experience. Prisca is so knowledgeable! Every week when I go for acupuncture I leave feeling better and my health in general seems to have improved based on Prisca's recommendations and acupuncture. Highly recommend!
Prisca has a boutique practice and really takes the time to understand your issues and explain what's she's doing. A clean and relaxing environment, and I never feel rushed. Appointments also always start on time!
I've been going to Tranquility Base for nearly 3 years. Prisca is a wonderful, capable, and experienced practitioner and her space is calm, inviting, and clean.
Prisca Chen is professional, empathetic, knowledgeable, objective, flexible. I recommend her without hesitation!
Excellent - Prisca keeps the location clean and safe. She has excellent knowledge and works to support her patients. I've been working with her for for 3.5 years.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Prisca is literally the most amazing human ever, Schedule your appointment. I sought treatment for PCOS and anxiety...I searched high and low, even trying out other acupuncturists, and nothing felt right...until I met Prisca. There aren't enough words to describe how truly wonderful Prisca is. She is warm, welcoming, grounding, and full of the most beautiful insights. Prisca is thoughtful and pays attention - she is there with you and for you, ensuring that you are supported in every way. You will feel seen, heard, understood, protected, and safe. I immediately feel at ease when I'm with her and find her energy to be so soothing and calming. She's like the cool older sister who always has your back. Her treatments and herbal prescriptions are so effective! In just 2 months time my mind and body have done a complete 180. My acne is gone and my skin looks the best it ever has, my body is releasing inflammation, my swelling has gone down dramatically, I had a normal menstrual cycle (if you have PCOS you know how crazy that is), AND my panic attacks have been dissipating. And there just aren't enough words to describe the life-changing effects Prisca has had on my mental health and emotional wellbeing. I am so thankful and grateful for Prisca. Go see her. You won't be disappointed. This one goes to 11.
Prisca is amazing. She helped me shorten my very long, irregular cycles. I came to her after a miscarriage and her treatment was a huge part in getting my body ready for my healthy pregnancy and now amazing newborn.
My husband and I both see Prisca and she has helped us greatly. I often refer people to her because I have confidence that she will help them too. She provides a comfortable and calming atmosphere and knows her stuff!
Since coming to see Prisca for help with smoking cessation, I have returned to see her for help with other issues. Mainly, hair loss. As most guys know, there are endless "remedies" and products out there that promise to help stop hair loss or actually regrow hair. After having tried all of the most well-known methods without much success, I surprised to learn that acupuncture can actually treat hair loss quite effectively, without all the "mainstream" shampoos, pills and chemicals. After seeing Prisca regularly about this issue, I can see a significant improvement in my thinning hair line. It is now thicker and fuller, and you can actually see new baby hairs growing in spots that were previously barren. Prisca actually takes pictures of the hairline every session to keep track of progress. And when you actually see the before & after difference so clearly, it's undeniable that her work is actually working! To sum up, if you're a guy, or gal, that is stressed out about thinning/receding hair and don't trust all the commercial products out there, I would suggest giving acupuncture a try.
Prisca's work is phenomenal as I have had chronic pain in my left hip and after seeing her i immediately felt relief after my second visit. I am a dancer and I am constantly using my body to make art and I was looking for a holistic, natural approach to healing my body. I've never had acupuncture and I do not regret seeing Prisca. I would recommend her to anyone of my friends or family members because her work relieves what I go in complaining about. In addition to the method's that are used Prisca is understanding, she listens very well and makes you feel at home.

At the same time, my appetite became more manageable, and my stress from managing my appetite went down – I became able to choose healthier food options with ease and in peace (whereas previously it was definitely a constant tug of war with myself). As part of the at-home maintenance, I learned guasha from Prisca, and it’s now become a vital part of my daily self-care and wind-down routine, which in turn has helped with my sleep hygiene and quality.
The effects are truly multitudinous! If you’re feeling like you’re trying your hardest but stagnating – try the cosmetic acupuncture! I look forward to lots of continued progress – in terms of both looks and health

He recommended IVF for us, but we wanted to try naturally. I wanted to do everything I could to increase my chances before we had to resort to IVF, so I found Prisca. Prisca took a close look at my lab report and medications, and after our intake, she explained in layman’s terms that my numbers were actually in a “functional” range, and that we just needed a few months of treatments. I was impressed with her knowledge of different herbs and foods, and how she knew which herbs to avoid with my current medications.
For about 5 months, I had regular treatments, took herbal supplements, and made some diet and lifestyle changes. I felt a lot healthier and my cycles improved (no cramps and migraines!), but I still wasn’t pregnant. We decided to try IVF after my next period.
This last period was a few days late so I panicked, because I had been very regular. I called Prisca asking what I should do, and she recommended a pregnancy test: it was POSITIVE! I still chuckle when I think about this.
My doctor was stunned and said it was a miracle, and I truly believe we couldn’t have done it without Prisca’s help. Fast forward to today, this testimonial took me forever to write because my 8 month old baby girl needs a lot of attention. Thank you, Prisca!

I am training heavily for a race next month and have been receiving acupuncture from Prisca in an attempt to keep my capacities sand muscle soreness at optimal performance levels and Prisca’s warm environment and attention to detail made me look forward to getting needled every week!
She’s great for anyone who’s not tried it before too — her bedside manner is awesome and she’s also just really chill, which helps with the structure of the appointment.
All in all, I’m a fan of acupuncture and Prisca and can’t wait for my next session!!!!

Prisca was surprisingly more knowledgeable about my condition than my own family doctor as well as the neurologist I visited.
I felt instant improvements on my face during each treatment, and the recovery between my weekly or sometimes biweekly visits also picked up pace.
I began to regain my smile shortly afterwards. I’d highly recommend her for anyone with Bell’s palsy.

I had visited another practitioner before but they were always seeing a bunch of patients at the same time, and I never felt they were really listening. Needless to to say that is not the experience at Tranquility Base.
I always felt like I had Prisca’s undivided attention. She will be my go-to person for when I next feel I need acupuncture. I highly recommend her.
