Excellent communication.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/11/2025
Ana is excellent. I have seen other acupuncture practitioners in the past, however, she has the ability to explain the treatments, make you feel at ease and offer you support through the session. I greatly appreciate the compassionate care I have received from her. If only there were more teamMembers it would not be so difficult to get appts.

Extreme delay in initial scheduling which was disappointing, but once seen, very attentive and helpful in making follow up appointments. So grateful!

When I express acute concerns to Anna, her treatment resolved it each time.

Dr was very professional and knowledgeable of the treatment she was getting ready to do. She asked important questions of my pain so she could recommendation the correct treatment.

Ana is very good. This is why her services are in high demand. A year ago, I would have been the last person who would have thought acupuncture could help with a chronic Illness, so effectively. Ana is very attentive, very skilled, and compassionate. I have more understanding about acupuncture and how it is effective on helping me manage my chronic illness and the (often times) debilitating pain and stomach aliments that comes with it.

Everyone at this practice is professional, caring and respectful! BRAVO!!!!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/19/2025
I try to refer her expertise to other people but they make appointments and the appointments are canceled for some unknown reason. I understand when Dr Anna has something that she has to do she has to take a day off, very expected. However there needs to be somebody to pick up the slack, to keep the ball rolling
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/12/2025
THE DOCTORS ARE VERY CARING AND HELPFUL

Ana Maria Villanueva is exceptional. Her patient-centered services are provided in a confident, reassuring, caring manner that reduces patient anxiety and enhances the successful treatment she provides. Ana doesn't just administer treatments, she succeeds at reducing symptoms, enabling patients to be more engaged in their lives. Emory Healthcare is fortunate to have Ana on it's Team!

I would definitely recommend Dr. Ana Villanueva without any hesitation. She's such an exceptional Acupuncturist! She cares about the well-being of her patients. Dr. Villanueva goes above and beyond her medical duties to help her patients. She has helped me with pain management tremendously. Acupuncture truly works!! It would be great to have more than one Accupuncturist at Emory; therefore, regular, consistent Acupuncture patients could have access to appointments when needed. Dr. Villanueva goes out of her way to help meand I'm so very thankful and oh so grateful for this wonderful doctor!!

Ana is amazing and the treatment I've been getting from her has had an amazing impact on my neuropathic pain in my feet and hands. And when I miss weeks, it is super apparent in my symptoms.

Ana is wonderful. She is caring and smart. She know exactly what I need and I always leave feeling better.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/6/2024
The first appoinment had some communication about what was going on, but not a lot of information about why choosing where to put the needles and what would help what symptoms, etc. Since I have been to other Accupuncturists I was fine with that but in the end it did not seem to help. I would prefer clear communication in both directions to adjust process and make improvements

Dr. V. And her staff are always amenable, friendly and caring. I truly value my experiences with them all!

Dr. Villanueva is truly an angel here on earth. She not only has transformed my wellbeing through acupuncture, she has also done the same and more for the countless patients and friends I have referred to her. As an OBGYN at Emory, I have not had one person come back to me after seeing her say that they were anything but amazed at how much better they feel after even one session with her both physically and mentally. She is absolutely a Godsend and I hope Emory does not lose her. Please do everything in your power to keep this amazing provider. She deserves a raise and ALL the awards. I see how hard she works rearranging her schedule, coming in early and working through lunch to accommodate as many patients that she can. She truly cares for each and every patient. Please hire more acupuncturists so she can continue to provide the excellent care she does without burnout and so that you can expand this amazing service even more to our community and employees. If she leaves, this would be a tremendous loss for Emory.

Ana is fantastic! She is very knowledgeable and helpful. I still have a ton of pain but I think this has helped me reduce the amount of pain pills needed . I have also seen where my body is healing after each treatment. My skin that was very dry is now full and my hair is growing back where it was falling out from the hormone use.
