Fort Lee Acupuncture

As a runner and someone who does physical work for a living, I been living with constant aches and pains for years particularly in my feet and arms. I finally decided to try out acupuncture and I am so glad I did. Dr. Joan Choi is patient, listens to your problems and confronts the issues very precisely. After 2 years of suffering with tennis elbow I have felt significant relief after a few visits, Her treatment gave me better results then anything else I tried and I have tried a lot of methods over the last 2 years. Very relaxed atmosphere and I look forward to my visits as I know I always feel a little better each time when leaving her office then I did coming in at the end of each visit. She is also upfront and honest on how long she feels you will need treatment for, I would recommend to anyone living in the area to go see her for acupuncture. Its a nice convenient location as well.

I first went to Dr. Choi suffering from severe sciatica and lower back pain, which had been with me for many years. After a few sessions with Dr. Choi the pain and discomfort were totally gone and have not returned. That was over a year ago. Since that time Dr. Choi has been addressing circulatory problems I suffer from with truely remarkable results. My general well being is greatly improved. I can not say enough about her and the compassion she gives to her patients. She is careful, thoughtful and expert at her methods and techniques. She has gained my total trust. The facilities are impeccably clean and comfortable. Thank you Dr. Choi!!

I had been suffering from kidney stones for about 19 years. Last week I had severe abdominal cramp & burning sensation. I went to the emergency room. The ct scan revealed that I had a kidney stone 7 mm in diameter and it was stuck in the junction between ureter and bladder and I could not pass it. The pain in my abdominal was so severe I could not do anything, that is when I got Acupuncture treatment and after a few needles inserted my pain subsided and I relaxed to the point were I fell asleep. Late evening at home I felt something pop out while I urinated and there was also some blood. When I looked there was the stone. Thank you so much Dr. Choi.

I met Dr Choi after suffering neck and back injuries from a car accident. She was amazingly caring and compassionate. After my sessions with her I was pain free. Her staff is also very professional and I appreciated the courteous manner in which I was treated.

Dr. Choi is the best acupuncturist I ever had. I initially went to her, because I am a cancer survivor, and I wanted to do something as an integrative treatment for myself, along with the hormonal treatment that I had just started. She was a good listener, compassionate and gentle, and it felt like she was giving me a treatment personalized for me that was balanced out for my whole body. I could almost feel the qi going through all my meridians…! In addition to the acupuncture, she also gave me moxa therapy, which was the first experience for me and which I really loved. I came out of her office feeling energized and relaxed all at the same time, and always slept well after her treatments. Then one day, I came in with a horrible lower back pain. I mentioned this to her, and she assessed my problem, and went directly to work on it, putting needles in my legs and my back. She even gave me extra time (without charging extra), so that I could really benefit from the treatment. When I came out, I was totally amazed that my backache was completely gone--Just after one treatment! Not only that, my back felt loose and relaxed! It was like a miracle. Dr. Choi is also very kind and gentle. Anyone who might be afraid of the acupuncture needle treatment would feel reassured here. I will full-heartedly recommend her to anybody who would like to get an acupuncture treatment!  -Ami Hakuno

"After having severe shoulder pain, I went to get treated by Dr. Choi. After a few weeks of treatment, the pain has subsided and improved greatly."

"I went to this place with my wife and this visit was for my wife. Dr. Choi asked me how I am and I said okay but a little pain on my arm because I am a picture framer so I have been suffering from this pain for many many years... to make the  story short... She inserted about 20 super thin needles on my head skin and I felt a little pinches here and there on my head not on my arm then wondered why on the head? I couldn't ask why only because I thought she was very serious. Right after she finished checking on what she did, she asked me to twist my arm again after her 5 minute acupuncture treatment... All I said was "OMG!" ... I could twist my right arm over 90 degree... several minute ago, I could twist my arm only 45 degree... Isn't that amazing?... I also wondered if she will remember all those hair thin needles among thousand hairs... she didn't miss one. On the way back home..my wife said "I told you!".

Everyone needs to listen to their wife. End of Story!"

I was hesitant to approach an acupuncturist but Joan put me at ease immediately by her confidence in her profession. Joan quickly surmised the situation I was in, Severe lower back cramps and pain, and started treating me immediately. After an hour of laying down in a relaxed position I was able to sleep and and wake up feel some tension but better. After an hour or so after I arrived at my home, I felt completely better and to my surprise no pain at all. I woke up the next morning with no cramps. Yay for Acupuncture and Joan. There was no wait time and office was neat and proper. Thank you again Joan.

My experience was great. I went in with terrible migraines, and after a few sessions they were gone. Joan is an acupuncture expert and is very gentle. At first I feared that it would hurt; however, the pain is very minimal.

I have gone to Ms. Joan Choi for several years for neck and back pain. Although I described my pain in certain locations, Joan took the time to trace the problem to another point in my body (actually a surgical scar) which brought almost immediate relief when treated. With further treatments, I was free of pain and able to move normally again. I was literally in tears from pain when I first went to her office and was able to move without pain by the end of the day. She treats her clients with respect and evaluates the entire person rather than just a list of symptoms. I highly recommend Ms.Joan Choi as an acupuncturist.

"I absolutely love this place. I have been coming here for about 2 years now and my body feels lighter, healthier, and stronger! There were two things initially that I came to Dr. Choi about. When I was younger, I had an accident on a bicycle which left me with chest pains and slight congestion for about 7 years.

The area around my sternum and top right rib cage always seemed to hurt whenever I pushed on it or if something were to hit it. With several needles to my head and body and after some time, she came back and asked if it hurt when she pressed upon my chest. I immediately felt no pain. 

We continued on with the treatment for a little longer and when I was finished, I felt no sense of congestion around my chest and whenever I pressed against my chest, I could not feel any pain. After that treatment, I also got treated for rigidness and tight muscle build up around my right shoulder. 

I dislocated my arm as a child and it would hurt time to time. I was not able to swing my right shoulder around freely than my left shoulder. She put me in a comfortable chair and started to put acupuncture needles on my head and legs. She then made me stand up and told me to try moving my arms as though I was swimming. At first it was difficult with my right arm, but after some tightening of the needles here and there, the movements on my right shoulder became loose and less tense. It didn't hurt as I tried big movements and twirled my arms around. That was shocking for me!

I still continue to come here to get treatment for my joints, knees, etc and sometimes she treats my acne! I respect Dr. Choi and know that she is fully committed to her job. She always puts in her 100% and that's what I like to see. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a comfortable and successful experience! -Phobe C

I have been going to Joan Choi for about 6 months now and she is AMAZING! Not only is she an expert at her craft, but she listens to you, listens to your body, she is patient, enjoys what she does, and has a warm approach and bedside manner. I was clueless about acupuncture when I started looking for help for my adult acne, but I knew that I didn't want to go back to the doctor for more medication that would stop working after a few months. In a last ditch effort before visiting my doctor, I figured I would give acupuncture a try and I am so thankful that I found Joan. I have dealt with acne from about age 12 to well in my thirties and it has left lasting, embarrassing scars on my face and back. I went for acne treatment, but I found that acupuncture is a full body benefit. I no longer suffer from menstrual cramps, bloating, acne, acid reflux, or fatigue. She is AMAZING!!!! She is also knowledgeable about 'body constitutions' and what foods are better processed for your body type and what foods to avoid. Getting my treatments and avoiding the foods Joan told me to avoid, I saw results almost immediately. It's been a healthy, fun, and awesome journey so far and I can't wait to see my health in a year from now! I am now a true believer in the science behind acupuncture.
