"I can't recommend Joe Hoots highly enough. He does an amazing job with everything from tight and sore muscles to chronic aches-and even vagal nerve stimulation. Sometimes I just have him focus on STRESS and I fall asleep most of the time! Hands down, he's provided the best experience I've ever had with a medical professional in his field, and honestly, one of the best across the board. I first discovered him while living in Astoria and began seeing him at his office there. After I moved to Greenpoint, I was thrilled to find out he also has a location in Williamsburg. I've continued seeing him twice a week for months now, and it's made a noticeable difference in my overall health and well-being. If you're dealing with pain, stress, or just looking to improve your body's balance, this is the person you want to see."

"Joe is a godsend. I've been suffering with chronic lyme and the associated arthritis for the better part of a decade and Joe has me up walking taller with my head and shoulders back, chest out, loose hips, feeling like my old self! I can't thank him enough. He patiently assesses and addresses your issues from all angles, truly multifaceted. He will tailor and tinker his approach to suit your specific needs. You will get the best sleep after his vagus nerve treatment. Highly recommend. Almost didn't want to write this review and let this secret out. Joe knows healing."

"Life-Changing Experience with Joe at TCM Hoots Acupuncture I don't even know where to begin... Simply put: working with Joe at TCM Hoots Acupuncture was a life-changing experience. I cannot recommend Joe highly enough. Here's the short story: Imagine waking up with half your face paralyzed and in excruciating pain. That was me. Thankfully, after reading so many amazing reviews, I made an appointment with Joe the very same day. After being diagnosed with Bell's palsy, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. Most sources said recovery could take up to six months and I wasn't sure if I'd ever feel or look like myself again. Joe was a true healer. His deep expertise in acupuncture and use of electrical stimulation helped accelerate my healing process. To be honest, I walked into his office a total wreck, as anyone in that situation would be. It was traumatic. But Joe was calm, kind, and completely grounded. He spoke gently, explained everything clearly, and reassured me every step of the way. I was truly grateful. We were aggressive with treatment-three times a week for six weeks-and I saw improvements after every session. In just one month, all of my Bell's palsy symptoms were completely resolved. His approach is thoughtful and comprehensive, blending acupuncture with electrical stimulation, bodywork, and cupping. I'm now fully healed, and I still go to Hoots Acupuncture for regular maintenance and treatment for other concerns. If you're dealing with Bell's palsy or any health issue and considering acupuncture, do yourself a favor and book a session with Joe. He's hands down the best acupuncturist I've ever worked with in NYC"

"Joe is an amazing healer. I went in with a sports injury and he was able to diagnose the problem quickly and offered me other stress-related treatments as part of my journey to getting fixed up. Can't recommend him highly enough."

"I was traveling to NY for work spending a couple of days and I needed an emergency treatment for a very painful pinched nerve in my neck probably due to forward head posture. Joe did an amazing job working with care and dedication on my contracted scapula, shoulder and neck muscles. After each session I was feeling sore but somehow lighter and eventually pain free completely. Joe is extremely clean, professional and meticulous. He really cares about you! I would go back to him if he was living in my town. Highly recommended!"

"I highly recommend Hoots Acupuncture! Joe has relieved me of so much pain and discomfort with his services. I've been suffering from arthritis in my knee and IT band syndrome for over a year. The pain had become excruciating in the past few weeks-until a family friend referred me to him. I made an appointment immediately, and I felt results just a few hours after our first session. I was sold! I'm currently three sessions in and already able to return to my normal routines and pursue my fitness goals again. Before this, I felt so discouraged on my health and wellness journey. Now, I'm working on other long-term stiffness and muscle discomfort issues that I've had my entire life-issues that doctors have just pushed off to physical therapy, which never helped me. Please don't hesitate to book an appointment, y'all! I call him the magician! Joe is also just a super cool practitioner -down-to-earth, friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable."

"Have been seeing Joe for about a year now for TMJ/Bruxism relief and overall stress/tension management and have been so grateful that I found him! From the first appointment he's been so helpful and thorough, really takes the time to sit with you and understand what you need and explains what treatment approach he'll use. I've recommended him to friends who have also had nothing but wonderful things to say about their experience with Joe. Highly recommend!"
