“Susanna is an amazing healer! My husband and I tried to conceive for some time and kept running into dead ends. When I started to work with Susanna, I was dealing with severe pains in my sides that eluded every doctor I saw. It wasn’t until seeing her that I got more comfortable with advocating for my self. Having her explain things to me, made it easier for me to talk to my doctors who agreed with her. She’s always so accommodating, insightful, and extremely intuitive. She makes it easy to talk about what’s going on.

She completely changed the way I view my body - not as just a vehicle, but as a container that holds physical emotions. I had no idea trauma could manifest in your body! I changed the way I eat and treated my body because of her. Now I’m 7 months pregnant!

I swear by and trust Susanna. When I recommend acupuncture to others, it’s never just, “You should try acupuncture,” it’s, “You should see Susanna.””

“I had experienced acupuncture before meeting Susanna, but it wasn’t until seeing her that I started seeing huge shifts in myself - physically and emotionally. Susanna is incredibly knowledgeable, present and full of wisdom. She listens intently, asks skillful questions, and takes the time to explain why she is doing what she is doing. She is compassionate and kind. She is a healer through and through. I’ve had a chronic shoulder injury for years that she has helped immensely. Now, instead of being in pain constantly, I only get flare ups every once in awhile and when it happens, I go see Susanna and walk out feeling good as new. It’s honestly an amazing feeling to be able to breathe comfortably without feeling like I’m stabbed in the back each time.

Susanna is also very gifted with working with emotions. She has used acupuncture to help me move through some very heavy stuff during really hard times in my life. I am so grateful to know her and be treated by her. I cannot recommend her enough. If it allowed me to give 10 stars, I would.”

“I am old-school, so I was reluctant to try acupuncture. Giving it a try was the best decision I could have made. Now, I look forward to each appointment. Susanna is simply the best. She is knowledgeable, dedicated and extremely caring.”

“I began seeing Susanna regularly in April 2019 for acupuncture & I cannot even explain how transformative my experiences with her have been! From back and hip pain, to stress and anxiety, to digestive issues, to trouble sleeping & more, Susanna has used acupuncture (as well as cupping, e-stim, and guasha) as a way to help me overcome & heal from the various issues & strains I’ve come across in my daily life. I never realized how much I would come to love or benefit from acupuncture, but I can honestly say it’s been one of the best things I’ve ever tried for managing stress, anxiety, physical pain, and so much more. In addition to addressing all of these issues, each session is essentially a restful meditation period for me which I love. Additionally, Susanna is always so thoughtful & intentional in her approach to get to know her patients (health history, environment, stressors, current situations, etc.) and treat them in a way that makes sense holistically. I truly could not recommend her enough!!”

“Like many of my generation, I was a bit skeptical of acupuncture at first. I waited until I found someone I could trust. I’ve been going to see Susanna off and on for about a year. I saw her yesterday for knee pain, and a really sore thumb and hand that I beat up in my attempts at home-improvement projects. As I walked around the city today, I noticed that familiar knee pain was missing. It made for an even more beautiful fall day.

Susanna is kind, empathetic and engaged in what’s going on with your life. If you’re on the fence about acupuncture, talk to Susanna. I heartily recommend her!”

“This is the first time I’ve ever had acupuncture and I loved it! I saw Dr. Susanna Satten and she was lovely. She is well credentialed and immediately put me at ease by explaining exactly what would happen and thoroughly delving into my history. I went to her to address anxiety, general wellness and minor aches and pains.

During the session, I felt very calm and peaceful. Afterwards, I had a breakthrough on an issue that I had been struggling with. Definitely going back this week - she is wonderful!”

“We absolutely love Susanna! She is a true healer through and through. Both my husband and I have received acupuncture treatments from her and we always feel so good afterwards!”

“Susanna has made an impact on my body, mind, and spirit! Before acupuncture with Susanna, I was an angry, unbalanced person, but after her treatments, I have become in-tune with myself and more “zen”. Susanna’s knowledge and insight about the body, and all the treatments have been extremely helpful to achieve the positive state that I am now in.”

“Susanna does a great job. She has really helped me with issues I was having with my thumbs and my knees. I absolutely recommend her.”

“Susanna is an acupuncture superstar! If you have never tried acupuncture or cupping or Guasha, she’s excellent with newbies and instantly makes you feel comfortable. And you can feel the relief right away. If you have any maladies that Western medicine is having a hard time curing, I highly recommend you make an appointment to see her. She can even fix problems you didn’t realize you had...”

“Wow is all I have to say! Susanna is so incredibly warm and welcoming. She took a lot of time to really take to me about my problems and it’s like no other medicine I’ve ever had. She’s amazing and gentle with the needling and I felt immediate relief aft her treatments. I totally recommend seeing her for any issues! Very knowledgeable in all aspects and gave me great dietary advise as well!”

“Susanna’s knowledge and skill set has helped me physically as well as emotionally. I experienced significant reduction in my neck and shoulder pain due to her treatments.”

“Susanna is terrific. Her practice is centered and calming; her knowledge and skill vast (I’ve been to other acupuncturists in my life); great willingness to solve a problem; her delight in what she does is evident. She’s “fixed” me and now I go in for “tune-ups”.”

“My personal journey of healing through the methodologies of acupuncture began after I gave birth to my twins, nearly nine years ago. I had relocated to Louisville, KY shortly after they were born and was seeking relief from chronic upper back pain, muscle spasms, contractions and twitches. After my first treatment, I immediately found acupuncture to be a main source of longevity in alleviating much of my physical and emotional discomfort and from then on, acupuncture became a routine within my personal self care. Years later, when my family and I returned to Philly, I was introduced to Susanna and have been seeing her for private treatments for over two years.

Over the years, I have worked with many highly skilled acupuncturists from all over the country. However, Susanna incorporates a healing practice that integrates both a traditional approach to Chinese medicine with her own unique philosophical perspective that foster holism within an individual’s journey to balance. Not one treatment I’ve had with her has been the same.

After working with Susanna I can say that as a practitioner, she holds space so graciously and really does Intuit beyond what is verbally and physically conveyed; often knowing what it is I am in need of before I am conscious of it, either physically and/or emotionally. Additionally, she’s gone straight to the source of my physical imbalances before I’ve mentioned them. I especially love Susanna’s integration of Crystal Therapy and the time she takes to both listen and respond with the attentive care we all seek from our healers, while on our personal path to well-being. She’s an advocate for personal growth, advancement and keeps me in check of where I am, where I’ve been and never fails to reminds me of where it is I am going.

I recommend Susanna, highly. She is thoroughly advanced as a practitioner, a Doctor of Acupuncture, and it is a privilege to experience her evolution within her healership as her patient. Thank you, Susanna, for all the genuine care you provide me! I am more grounded and centered because of it. And Congrats on your journey to fully expand within your private practice! I look forward to seeing all the good you’ll continue to create in the world. ”

“Absolutely love Susanna! I have been receiving acupuncture now for about 3 years — it has been life changing!
Susanna is amazing and so knowledgeable. I always feel like a new person after my treatment! Highly recommend.”

“Susanna has a vast understanding of the depth, breadth, and possibilities of Chinese Medicine. She is also highly skilled with needles, moxa, and guasha. A treatment with her is like being tended to by a wise angel.”

“Susanna is a true healer. Part shaman, part therapist and 100% incredibly talented acupuncturist. I will follow her anywhere to experience a trance-like acu-nap at her practice. She gets deep and unleashes all the stuff in the body, good and bad. Worth every penny, time and again.”

“Dr. Susanna is a miracle worker! After 4 months of seeing her on a monthly basis for menstrual migraines, I’ve seen a 90% improvement, which surpasses any expectation or past method. Although these results certainly speak for themselves, my favorite thing about Susanna is that she treats the whole body and not just the pains, issues and ailments. She takes the extra time to ensure I’m healthy and feeling my best!”

“Dr. Susanna is absolutely wonderful! Her approach to acupuncture is down to earth, I always learn something new after each session. She helped me with my (successful!) IVF transfer and I’ve been going to her now with my nausea and pregnancy symptoms. I highly recommend making an appointment and trying acupuncture out with Dr. Susanna.”

“Such an amazing experience! I’ve had acupuncture before, but Susanna is different. Her approach is warm and caring, the experience is targeted and relaxing, and the results are real. With just one session, my digestion improved and my chest congestion cleared. I cannot recommend her enough!!!”

“In the fall, I started experiencing pains that seemed like they could be alleviated with Eastern medicine. Having known Susanna socially for years, I already loved her cheerful and warm demeanor, so I finally scheduled my first appointment. She was absolutely wonderful, walking me through everything, trying her best to put me at ease as I was terrified of the needles!

She has the best “bedside manner” of an health professional I have ever encountered, and means even more to me being treated with Eastern medicine that i’m so unfamiliar with!. I’m looking forward to my next appointment.”

“Susanna is amazing. She is kind, professional, and extremely smart — she is SOO good at what she does. I look forward to every appointment!”

“I’ve been trying different acupuncturists for years trying to find the right one. I’ve found her - Susanna is amazing!! I’m a regular patient and I see her as often as possible. ”

“I’ve had many acupunture sessions in the past but nothing compares to treatments with Dr. Susanna. She is a true healer and might be part fairy! She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely cares about your well being. I cannot wait to be back for another session! Thank you Dr. Susanna for amazing healing.”

“I did not know if acupuncture could help me since I had been feeling bad for almost six months before I tried acupuncture. After my first appointment with Susanna, where she asked me a ton of questions about myself, I noticed an improvement in my energy. Easy session after that helped a bit more. After about two months, I felt normal again, which I as starting to think was not possible! Susanna really listens and tailors each session to how I am doing at that point. I have seen such an improvement in my health since I started seeing Susanna.”

“Regular treatments with Susanna have been both an essential and impactful part of my health routine. Whether the issue is mental, emotional or physical - her approach and treatment are tailored to fit my individual situation, every time.

Susanna’s acupuncture practice has aided me in processing one of the most challenging years of my life so far, and I look forward to seeing the benefits of another year of ongoing treatment. I would be lost without her, thank you Susanna!”

“Susanna is attentive, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. She has struck the perfect balance between intellect and intuitiveness. She has an excellent rapport with patients and her heart is absolutely in the right place for her profession of healing. She is a wonderful practitioner, highly recommend.”

“Susanna has been such a joy to work with. I started seeing her about 3 months ago when I was going through IVF and was looking to increase my fertility and anxiety issues. Within my first treatment, Susanna had diagnosed me and treated using a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion and Chinese herbs.

Not only did she help me with my health issues, she introduced me to a new way of looking at things holistically. I believe the mind and body are connected and I owe Susanna for my this reaffirmed outlook.

Sure enough, two months after starting treatment, I was pregnant! I truly believe Susanna got me here and I am so thankful that I was introduced to her. I still continue to see her for morning sickness treatments and again, have seen significant improvements in my health. Her bedside manner is great and she is such a calming, educated, thoughtful and positive person.”

“Susanna is wonderful. I found her about 6 months ago when I was feeling anxious and drained and needed help. I had experience with acupuncture and knew it could lessen anxiety, but Susanna has managed to diagnose and help me work through everything from physical injuries to emotional scars.

She is friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. I look forward to sessions with her and the lighter, more relaxed day I’m able to enjoy after leaving her office. More importantly, I’m so grateful to Susanna for her fundamental role in my improved well-being, and look forward to continued progress with her skilled support.”

“Susanna is what you need if you are going for acupuncture and if you aren’t so sure about it, you will be after spending time with Susanna. She will personalize treatments and plans. What I most enjoyed is talking through exactly what she is doing and why.

I originally went for acute shoulder pain which has now subsided and I am going for more regular, proactive session. I’ve had acupuncture, cupping, and guasha and it has all gone very well.

I’d recommend her to anyone!”

“Susanna is an outstanding acupuncturist! I try to see her every week. She has helped my allergies immensely an I no longer have to take anti-histamines.”

“Susanna is a thoughtful and thorough practitioner. She asks thoughtful questions that get at the source of the problems in ways that are hard to imagine. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

“Susanna has done wonders for my overall health. I firmly recommend using her for you acupuncture needs and for improved health. Susanna is an amazing person and a wonderful doctor. Go see her ASAP, you will be very glad you did!”

“Susanna has treated me for a variety of ailment and conditions. What sets her apart is her attention to detail, the thoroughness of her work, and her focus on outcomes. She is truly a professional in her industry.”

“Susanna offers a tailored acupuncture approach to fit your needs. She’s warm, and her office and approach makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend!”

“Susanna is such a great listener and I always feel lighter after I see her. I love when she does a combo treatment with acupuncture, cups, moxa, whatever is best for me at the moment. I definitely recommend you see her for pretty much any issue or ongoing maintenance.”

“I have visited Dr. Satten a number of times in the past two months for lower back pain. Friends and colleagues with similar conditions had attested to gaining real benefit from acupuncture. Although I was at first somewhat wary of the needle part, Dr. Satten proved to be the perfect mix of friendly and professional. She immediately put me at ease with both her calming presence and her obvious wealth of knowledge and experience. I can honestly say that she spent more time and asked more pertinent health-related questions in the first ten minutes than my GP has in five years of visits. The acupuncture itself was painless and Dr. Satten took great care to explain the strategy behind each particular placement.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience and the proof of her abilities became clear after two treatments, as the pain (and overall tightness) in my lower back subsided noticeably. Needless to say, I am now a believer and will remain a regular patient. Highly recommended!”

“I started seeing Dr. Satten at such a crazy time in my life...I was trying to recover from a mysterious illness of sorts that was sending my body into overdrive (heart palpitations, weight loss, indigestion, etc.). I was looking for relief and I had always wanted to give acupuncture a try. I found Dr. Satten’s website and booked an appointment. She’s such a good listener, and incredibly helpful. Even before my first appointment, she took note of my symptoms and got to work trying to calm my body down. Her acupuncture sessions have been such a source of calm for me, and have improved my quality of life during this time of recovery. She has so many helpful tips for managing chronic or lengthy illnesses!”

“Susanna is easily the best acupuncturist in Philly! She’s attentive, intelligent, super-friendly, soothing, and she always ensure you feel as comfortable as possible during the entire treatment process. I can’t thank her enough for her help! Highly recommended!”

“I’ve been visiting Susanna at South Philly Community Acupuncture for my PMDD and terrible menstrual cycles and found unbelievable relief after a series of sessions. She listened to what I needed and worked with me over a few weeks to get through a difficult experience. My symptoms have almost disappeared with each cycle.

South Philly Community Acupuncture is a great resource and cornerstone of health and wellness in our neighborhood. I am a huge supporter of alternative medicine and value acupuncture for all it offers; I utlitize it for a number of ailments. Even when I don’t have a specific need, I love general upkeep appointments. I feel about my acupuncture appointments the way lots of people feel about a luxurious massage. It keeps my mind clear and allows for relaxation and quiet amidst a hectic, noisy life.”

“Susanna’s ability to be compassionate and understanding gave a humane touch to an overall effective treatment. I came to her for emotional issues and she treated me with such care and respect. By putting me immediately at ease, it allowed the treatment to have a deeper effect. I would recommend anyone I know to Susanna.”

“This is my first experience with acupuncture and it has been great. Susanna is a wonderful practitioner who is thorough, thoughtful, considerate and genuine. Highly recommended!”

“Susanna is a gifted practitioner, both in her acupuncture skills and bedside manner. She’s very personable, took the time to listen to me, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole treatment. Best of all, both my stress and pain were greatly reduced!”

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Susanna! She really listened to my health issues and took the time to help me understand how acupuncture can help me. I was nervous to try acupuncture, but she was very gentle and walked me through each step. I found it very relaxing. I have already seen great improvement in my health. I can’t wait to go back for another treatment!”

“I was nervous and skeptical about my first time having acupuncture, but Susanna made me feel so incredible comfortable! I went in for some hamstring issues due to overuse and left feeling better than I have in years. She was gentle and took all of my concerns seriously while talking me through each little needle. Can’t wait to keep going back!”

“I have seen many acupuncturists over the years. What makes Dr. Satten stand out is her professionalism and attention to detail. By the third or fourth appointment other acupuncturists seem like they are just going through the motions, hurrying to get to their next patient. When I see Dr. Satten I know that I have her complete and undivided attention and that my treatment will always match my particular needs of that day.”

“Susanna is the best! She is kind and cares about her patients. Susanna takes the time to explain the treatments to her patients and how the treatment will benefit them. I’ve been seeing Susanna for over 6 months and have noticed a difference because of acupuncture. Acupuncture has become a regular part of my wellness routine. Thank you, Susanna!”

“Coming to Susanna is better than seeing a regular doctor. Going there is like seeing a good friend who truly cares and wants the best for you nota a a patient, but rather a friend. Thank you.”

“Susanna has a wonderful way about her healing properties; not only is she an excellent acupuncturist, she has a special talent for accommodating your emotional needs. Over time, she has improved areas where I once had chronic pain.”

“Each week before my treatment with Susanna, I feel very calm and have no worries because I know that each treatment is going to make me feel better. I have complete confidence in Susanna. Her knowledge of Chinese Medicine is apparent, and she explains everything with ease and enthusiasm. She has a wide understanding of health issues and other healing modalities. She shares all of this with her patients. She is comfortable to be around and has a great personality. Thank you for being such a great acupuncturist - I have really improved while working with Susanna.”

“Susanna was able to diagnose and immediately treat intense muscle spasms of my lower back and calves, giving me the relief I had been searching months for. Her knowledge and compassion put me at ease and left me with a better understanding of my mind and body.”

“I saw Susanna post-surgery and felt extremely safe and cared for. Almost immediately, I noticed relief from my symptoms. She helped me with my recovery and was both informative and accessible.”

“Susanna is very conscientious and caring. She gave me wonderful treatments while paying special attention to and improving my areas of concern.”

“Thank you for helping me! Susanna’s attention to detail and willingness to help me learn as well as listen it to me was greatly appreciated.”

“I have a lifelong needle phobia, but I was dealing with some pain management issues and didn’t want to go back to the doctor again, so I took a leap of faith. Susanna was so great—she listened carefully to my concerns (about my health but also about needles), and I barely noticed the needles during treatment…plus I felt so much better after. I’m a believer now—and a lot less scared!”

“Dr. Susanna is really great at what she does. Calm, cool and collected, which is exactly how I feel after my time with her. I was skeptical when acupuncture was recommended to me by a family member to combat my health issues. It only took one session to feel the difference and I look forward to each next appointment.”
