Get to know Acupuncturist Dr. Marie Amato, who practices in Hartsdale, New York.

Dr. Amato, a New York licensed acupuncturist & a national board-certified Chinese herbalist, is the Founder of Westchester Acupuncture, PLLC in Hartsdale, New York. 

At heart, the general practice treats a variety of conditions such as allergies, pain, Crohn’s disease, IBS, stress, anxiety, depression, age-related illnesses, common pediatric ailments, and numerous other health conditions. It has a special focus on women’s health in the realm of menstrual disorders, fertility, pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum care, as well as perimenopause.

It is Dr. Amato’s desire to share her great admiration for Chinese medicine by providing the best possible healthcare to her patients. She encourages all of her patients to take an active role in their healing process and to work toward achieving optimal health through preventative care. She readily consults with her patients’ various healthcare professionals to discuss their comprehensive biomedical and alternative medicine treatment plans. 

Getting into the right mindset with a goal to take full advantage of healing techniques, Dr. Amato earned her Master’s in Oriental Medicine from Touro College’s Graduate Program in Oriental Medicine.  She then went on to obtain her Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) degree from Pacific College. She has had the good fortune to work alongside some of the most gifted and accomplished acupuncturists at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn. During this time, she worked in Neurologic & Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Oncology, and Labor & Delivery, where she treated women during labor by assisting in the delivery process and helping to reduce pain. 

Before focusing her studies on Chinese medicine, Dr. Amato earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Fordham University and her first Master’s degree in Molecular Biology from Northeastern University. Her research focused on the viability of preimplantation embryos. 

Nowadays, this unique research experience allows her to blend her biomedical research background in infertility and assisted reproductive technologies with her traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture practice. This east meets west approach has proven to be a valuable asset in assisting couples trying to conceive. 

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a key component of Traditional Oriental Medicine.

Acupuncture isis also used to maintain general health and well-being. Acupuncturists treat a variety of physical and psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain, digestive disorders and infertility.
