I’m currently going thru extensive cancer treatments utilizing chemotherapy, radiation treatments and an immunotherapy regimen. After researching various acupuncturists in my area I decided to go to Dr. Monika Gajiwala’s office OM acupuncture in Emerson NJ. I wanted her to help treat my side effects caused by my treatments in regards to fatigue, constipation, peripheral neuropathy, sleep issues, etc…
After just a couple sessions, I am feeling so much better. Dr. Monika Gajiwala is very warm, knowledgeable and takes time to listen to me each visit to see what side effects have subsided and then if the new ones have arose so she can adjust or add her acupuncture needles accordingly. I look forward to my appointments with her and always leave feeling more energetic, peaceful and calm. I truly believe In acupuncture and my oncologist is a big believer in acupuncture treatments as well being an important part of my health care regimen moving forward.
She’s an amazing doctor. I feel so comfortable visiting her office which is very welcoming and has easy access. She always adjusts my appointments accordingly if they conflict with any upcoming treatments that may arise from my other doctors. I highly recommend her and I highly suggest acupuncture as a treatment modality to help you get through. any type of health issues you may have. Not all acupuncturists are the same and what sets Dr. Monika Gajiwala apart is her expertise her knowledge in the field and she’s constantly keeping up with new techniques and new studies so she could treat her patients ailments to the best of her ability. I highly recommend her to anyone!!
I’m Very grateful to have her as part of my health care team! She’s a true blessing!

I utilized Monika’s services starting in 2023 until the last week I delivered my baby in May 2024. Monika hands down is the smartest, most professional, knowledgeable and caring acupuncturist provider I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She is absolutely amazing and worth every penny.
I was referred to her by my obstetrician after I suffered my third miscarriage and failed first IVF transfer in January 2023. I had spent the previous year going to another fertility Acupuncturist in Fort Lee and was spending a ridiculous amount of money for treatment and herbal teas that landed me in debt and ultimately did not help me get pregnant. I reached out to her several months after my OB referral and began to prepare myself for another transfer. I visited her one to two times per week for an hour, and it felt like every week, she introduced techniques that supported my acupuncture treatment. She used calming techniques and other modalities that I could do alone and with my husband, and during my treatment provided a relaxing and quiet environment that was really a nice getaway from my every day hectic life.
At around my six month of pregnancy, she recommended that we stop treatment, as everything was going well and told me to come back at 36 weeks to help prepare for delivery. I think a lot of people in her position would’ve probably continued to have me see them, but I thought this was a testament to her honesty and genuine commitment to my progress. I returned at 36 weeks and was blessed to deliver my healthy baby boy at 39+ weeks. I felt her acupuncture 100% helped with my nausea, my back pain, and my overall general well being. I am in my mid-forties and had no complications. That was truly a feat in of itself. I can’t thank Monika enough for what she’s contributed to my life. Without any hesitation, I recommend her to anyone looking to expand their families with more children.

Concerned about the possible side effects of Western medicines for my inflammation and pain, I sought out an alternative – acupuncture. This holistic approach completely transformed my well-being. Not only did acupuncture alleviate my initial concerns, but overall I feel better. And just to clarify, the needles used in acupuncture are painless. I am incredibly grateful to Monika for her compassionate care. If you are struggling with your health, you owe it to yourself to try the ‘medicine’ that’s been around for thousands of years.

Monika has been providing acupuncture and utilizing her cupping techniques with me since the beginning of the year. She’s been a driving force in me being able to continue training and competing in my sport. Whether you have stiffness or soreness, she’s the one to go see to make you feel brand new again.

I am so grateful for Monika’s help! I developed pain in my hip during my 3rd trimester of pregnancy that was so severe I was limping. Monika resolved it completely in 2 sessions. She is also very kind and accommodating. I cannot recommend her enough!

I cannot explain in enough words what positive effects acupuncture had on me. I had fears about needles but Monika made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and helped me alleviate my needle fears. She taught me to adopt healthy habits, being very knowledgeable about different diseases and ailments. I learned many things from her including how to take better care of my health and many things about how acupuncture and other elements of Chinese medicine differ from western medicine. I went to Monika because I wanted to improve my immune system, relieve stress, and not to feel my shoulder pain that I had for months. I have to say that after a couple of acupuncture sessions I started to feel better and my shoulder pain disappeared. I would recommend acupuncture to anyone! I would recommend Monika because she knows exactly the best route to take regarding treatment.

I am 68 years old and have responded quite favorably to treatment which have been mostly weekly. In the past year, I felt well taken care of by Monika with her focused and concentrated needling technique. I was always provided answers to my questions.
Between her and her treatment supervisor’s input, I accomplished my main goal when I first started i.e. to eliminate dependency and discontinue my need for inhaled steroids for my respiratory problems. I will continue at PCOM to further enhance my well-being and healthy balance as I age.

I have a very painful degenerative arthritis condition, ankylosing spondylitis. I have found that these treatments alleviate my pain and other symptoms of my condition. It has helped me create a more effective, positive approach to a chronic condition. It seems to be the only effective approach of the many that I have explored.
Monika Gajiwala has a very assured yet gentle touch and I am highly appreciative of the help she has given me.

Monika is great. I felt at ease from the first time I met her- I am going to her for more emotional issues and she really understands everything I tell her from a more spiritual aspect. She takes her time to really listen and I can tell she is doing work for her heart. Highly recommend.
– Min Kang
Monika is amazing. She takes the time to listen to your issues and explains her treatment. I always feel better after my appointments with her.
– Lucy Majoros
Monika is simply the best. Every time I see her it feels like she spends extra time really listening to how I am feeling and what I need help with. She has helped keep my migraines and allergies at bay and you can tell she is always looking for the best way to help me. She even has offered to see me without an appointment whenever a migraine hits. You just don’t get service like that anymore! If you’re even considering acupuncture, visit with Monika. You won’t regret it!
