Bob Sirianni is a New York State licensed acupuncturist, and a nationally board certified NCCAOM diplomat.  In addition to his private practice in New York City, Bob is currently a faculty member at the Tri-State College of Acupuncture (TSCA), where he earned his Master of Science degree in acupuncture.            

Bob’s philosophy of well-rounded healthcare is directly influenced by his continued personal quest for enlightenment through the pursuit of knowledge.  Bob holds Bachelor of Arts degrees in both biology and fine arts.  Acupuncture is a delicate balance between biology and art, and requires a calm receptive person with sensitive skilled hands.  This makes acupuncture a natural fit for Bob, as it calls on his ability and skill in both the scientific and intuitive aspects of his nature.

Continued study in Oriental Medicine has lead Bob to seek out new skills to inform his practice.  Bob has studied with unique masters here in New York City, in Thailand, and in China.  He has been fortunate enough to see how this medicine works with different patient populations and in different settings, including:  private practices, community clinics, and both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings in New York City and Beijing, China.
