Hoots Acupuncture PLLC

Joe was an absolute professional. He made me feel right at home during my first every acupuncture appointment ever. Also, he was very informative and took the time to answer my questions about the practice and it's benefits. I had outstanding Achilles tendon and calf problems and with Joe's treatment my pain was almost instantly alleviated. I strongly recommended Joe and plan to routinely use his services in the future!

I injured my neck and shoulder about 7 months ago and had severe neck/shoulder pain ever since. I tried chiropractor and cortisone shots, but the pain kept returning. I saw Joe for 6 acupuncture treatments over a 3-4 week period and I'm glad to say I'm finally pain free! His treatments are very thorough and he incorporates a lot of massage and other manual therapies with each session. He also took an advance course to better understand and treat my condition, which I found very impressive! I can not recommend him enough!

After years of going to orthopedists, chiropractors, PT, and pain management doctors for my back and neck, it was Joe’s acupuncture skills that finally allowed me a significantly improved quality of life. Joe listened closely to me at every appointment and tailored his treatment accordingly. He had great suggestions and really cared about my progress. I highly recommend.

I first went to Joe because I had lower back pain due to working remotely. I could barely walk. I went to a PT for months. They kept putting stimulation on my back, no improvement. Joe figured it was actually the front of my hip which was wonky and got rid of it in 2 visits! I’m so thankful! I’ve been going to Joe for about a year now to tackle the chronic pain in my neck and shoulder I’ve had for ~10 years. I’ve seen countless PTs, acupuncturists, chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons over the years. Joe is the only one who is able to consistently help me manage my chronic pain. I love that he is willing to explain which muscles he is working on and we work together to figure where the pain is coming from. He is open to feedback and genuinely wants to help you get relief. It’s also great that he’s been available whenever I had a flare up because who can actually plan those ahead of time? I can’t recommend him enough.

I have gone to many acupuncture services in NYC, both private and community-based. Joe is by far the most thorough, thoughtful, and passionate. Most acupuncturists I've visited do not even give 10% of the thoroughness Joe does. He also *customizes* your experience. Every time I go, we try something new and different. It makes the experience that much more holistic. I have been seeing Joe for a few months now and I cannot even imagine a world where I stop seeing him. I had scoliosis surgery as a teen and sometimes experience lower back pain as a result - after every session, I feel like my body is brand new. I have done cupping, electric acupuncture and deep tissue manual work with Joe -- all of them have been amazing experiences.
