via Google This was my first experience with acupuncture, and I was honestly pretty nervous at first. But I was dealing with a lot of pain and inflammation and needed to try something different — I’m really glad I did.
I’ve been going to Malaya Acupuncture for a few months now, and the care I’ve received has made a big difference in managing my pain, inflammation, and overall nervous system regulation. The space is calm, clean, and grounding. The staff is warm, attentive, and professional.
Dr. Emil Velasquez is a thoughtful and skilled practitioner. He takes the time to listen, ask questions, and adjust each session to what’s actually going on. His approach is calm and steady, and I always leave feeling better — physically and mentally.
Tania, the office manager, is also wonderful. She’s kind, clear, and incredibly helpful with scheduling and questions, and adds to the peaceful energy of the space.
After a few months of treatment, I feel happy to share this positive review so others can benefit from the same high-quality care and support. I truly recommend Malaya Acupuncture to anyone seeking thoughtful, effective, and personalized acupuncture care.

catalino sopelariovia Google I've been a patient of Emil's since his early days on E14th, back during the pandemic. He played a huge role in helping me overcome chronic ankle pain, along with stress and posture-related issues affecting my back and shoulders. What really stood out to me was his thoughtful approach—he took the time for an initial consultation to understand not just my physical concerns but also my overall well-being. If you're looking for an acupuncturist who truly listens and tailors his care to you, I highly recommend checking out Emil @ Malaya Acupuncture!

Christy Getzvia Google Hi highly recommend Dr. Emil Velasquez of Malaya Acupuncture and Wellness! I sought out Dr. Velasquez based on his stellar reviews for acupuncture treatment, and I have been very very happy with my progress under his care. When I first started seeing Dr. Velasquez my tennis elbow (from playing pickleball) was so painful that I could barely lift a glass of water. After an in-depth intake, Dr. Velasquez was able to target and treat the inflammation in my arm, providing me with immediate and sustained relief from the pain. For the first few weeks I scheduled sessions twice a week, then once a week and now, with full recovery, I am seeing him 1-2 times a month for maintenance. My sessions are also helping me with meditation and relaxation. I am so grateful his expertise and kindness in promoting my healing journey so that I can stay active and fit! Highly recommended!!!

Devin Greenvia Google I started getting acupuncture done at Malaya at the behest of my girlfriend who has gotten amazing results from both the acupuncture and the herbs. I was skeptical of acupuncture when I first started but I have now had several instances of the care I received at Malaya help recover from back, foot, and other joint injuries. Emil is very kind and welcoming and always puts me at ease. Cannot recommend enough!

Kate Ferrovia Google I am so grateful my friend (who is also a gifted acupuncturist) highly recommended Emil to me! I have been going every 10 days for about a few months and can say that I feel very well taken care of, supported, and healthier. I have been sleeping better, have more energy and my longstanding intestinal troubles seem to be a thing of the past.
Parking is stress free. The office is really welcoming, clean and has great, friendly energy. His rates are extremely reasonable, especially given the great care his patients receive.
Emil is a genuinely good listener and takes his time to get the whole picture about my concerns. His treatments leave me feeling completely blissed out and calm every time without fail. In addition to comprehensive treatments, he is really committed to creating the right herbal formula given how I am feeling and uses really high quality herbs that taste good too! I'm a plant nerd though, so I may be a little biased on the flavor of the herbs. It is really apparent that Emil wants the best for his patients and goes far above and beyond any experiences I've ever had in community clinics where practitioners feel rushed and sometimes don't even check your pulses or your tongue.
Cannot recommend him highly enough! He is a true find and a valuable resource for our community.
