Job Description
*Acupuncturist Position – Albany, NY*
About You
You are the kind of acupuncturist who cares deeply about what this medicine has to offer and wants to help people feel better in their bodies and their lives. You want to practice the full range of Chinese Medicine — acupuncture, herbs, lifestyle recommendations, nutrition, and movement. You know in your heart this is what you came here to do.
What you don’t want is to spend your energy on marketing, scheduling, or running the business side of things. You’d love to walk into a beautiful clinic, treat appreciative patients, and know you’re supported by a team who shares your values.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
About Us
We are Crystal and Paul, a married acupuncture couple with 15 years of experience running thriving clinics. Our Albany clinic is growing rapidly, and we’re expanding our team to meet community demand.
At Eastgate Acupuncture, qi infuses everything we do — from the way patients find us, to how they’re welcomed at the front desk, to the care they receive in treatment. Our goal is to help you thrive as a healer, without the burnout or overwhelm so many practitioners face.
Position Details
Location: Albany, NY
Schedule: 2-3 shifts per week to start, with room to grow into a full time position
Focus: General practice with opportunities to develop your own specialties. We do accept insurance so you must be willing to be credentialed if not already.
Support: We handle the business side — marketing, administration, billing — so you can focus on patient care
Compensation
Compensation listed in ad is based on 15 hours a week.
Training Period (First 2 Weeks): $20/hour during shadowing and training (5 days/week).
Initial Shifts: 2 shifts (10-14 hours) per week at $25/hour guaranteed pay.
Transition to Commission: Once your weekly patient load exceeds the guarantee (typically after ~7-10 patients/week for two shifts), you’ll move to per patient commission of $35 per patient. Commissions on herb sales as well.
This model ensures stable pay as you start and greater earning potential as your schedule fills.
Who You Are
Licensed (or soon to be licensed) Acupuncturist in New York State
Warm, grounded, and emotionally steady.
Compassionate, reliable, and deeply patient-centered.
Communicates clearly and thoughtfully — especially when navigating challenges or differences.
Brings a beginner’s mindset: open, curious, and adaptable to our clinic’s treatment style and flow, regardless of years in practice
Team-oriented and collaborative — you understand that a thriving clinic requires flexibility, shared responsibility, and mutual respect
Comfortable asking questions and leaning on mentorship when needed
Generous in spirit — willing to step in at the front desk if needed and contribute to the smooth rhythm of the clinic
Why Join Eastgate
Busy, well-established clinics with steady patient flow
Training and mentoring to help you thrive without burnout
A supportive, team-oriented environment where communication matters
No business stress — just practice and grow as a healer
