“As an avid acupuncture patient, I can confidently say my experience with Bergen Valley Acupuncture has been nothing short of wonderful! Cara is extremely kind and compassionate, she is so smart and talented, and she always helps make me feel my best! I am forever grateful to Cara for all she has done for me. I cannot recommend Bergen Valley Acupuncture enough!!”

-Lea M.

Both my husband and I have received acupuncture treatment from Cara over the last few years. She is a comprehensively trained practitioner, not a weekend workshop specialist. Her highly effective use of this traditional Chinese medicine is a product of her complete understanding that wellness goes beyond just symptom relief. She is an intelligent listener with an authentic warmth. Cara shows respect to her clients in small, but important ways, like always knocking lightly before entering the room, regulating the room temperature, and asking if you are ready for the lights to be turned on. This professionalism means a lot when you are in the calm state at the end of a session. Even the building is sensibly designed for health care. A small glass foyer transitions you to the interior where the elevator is positioned directly in front of you. If you have mobility issues or are just not feeling well, that kind of immediate access is a welcome sight. We enthusiastically recommend the Valley Acupuncture and Wellness Center to all, but particularly to those who are fearful of the process. Your experience here, with competent and compassionate people, will change your mind.

Cara, the acupuncturist, is an absolute gift of a human being. Her presence is warm and grounded. She is clear and communicative and genuinely, I cannot stress this enough, GENUINEY cares about you and your pain and will construct a care plan to specifically address your needs. It is one of those great, and frankly far too rare, examples of the right person in the right job. My specific care plan needs include both acupuncture and cupping. The cupping was not something I had been looking for, but boy am I glad I tried it! It helps relieve muscle tension and boost circulation like nothing else. The combination of the two, acupuncture and cupping, keep my various muscle tension issues (neck, shoulders and back) and my migraines at a level that I can easily manage and many days are completely pain free. I go once a week. I look forward to my sessions. There is relaxing music, a heat lamp for muscle relaxation and just some private quiet time to zone out. The days I that I get acupuncture I sleep better as well.

I cannot stress enough how genuinely life changing incorporating this into my routine has been. When I started to talk about it among family and friends, several decided to also go and have had the same wonderful experience. Both of my parents go for various reasons, as well as three additional family friends. So my good experience turned into at least an additional five patients.

Recently I decided to try the DermaPen micro-needling facial treatment that is offered. I did this for a combination of both physical and aesthetic/facial reasons, and I already have booked a second appointment. My skin is glowing and it also helped with the sinus headache pain that I get in my one eyebrow.

Highly recommend Bergen Valley Acupuncture! It’s always a wonderful experience- from the moment I walk in to the calm waiting area to the end of my treatment. Cara cares so much about her clients- she asks questions and intuitively listens to my needs, and I always feel so much better by the time I leave. Cara and her staff are truly lovely- they are beyond caring, sweet and professional. I look forward to my next appointment!

Walking into Bergen Valley Acupuncture you immediately feel so calm and at peace. Cara is so sweet, gentle, and does not rush. As a new-ish patient of acupuncture, she addressed all of my questions putting my mind at ease. It's been a wonderful experience and a monthly add to my wellness routine! I'm looking forward to trying the ear seeds next. I've heard such great things!

-Done Neatly Inc.

Such a relaxing and welcoming space. Cara has years of experience and is so knowledgeable. If you’re at all needle sensitive like myself, I could hardly feel anything which is amazing. The office is located right in the middle of Ridgewood, and has parking which is such a plus! If you’ve been looking to incorporate acupuncture into your wellness routine, I highly recommend Cara and Bergen Valley Acupuncture

Oh the gift of acupuncture under the finest care with Cara. Set in a warm, peaceful environment you will be transformed into a state of well being as Cara talks with you to evaluate “your” needs and then gently places her magic where she thinks it best to transfer your inner energy of natural healing. Cara is truly the epitome of love, kindness and compassion delivering ultimate results…🌞

Excellent work! After only one session, Dr. Cara Galorenzo’s treatment provided me with pain relief. I was pleasantly surprised. As a fitness professional, my ability to perform is tantamount to my potential to earn. Working pain free is must in my line of work. I strongly recommend Bergen Valley Acupuncture.
