Testimonials

"He is one of the best acupuncturists I have ever met"

"I am incredibly grateful to have found Paul as my acupuncturist.

Over the course of my treatment, Paul has helped me navigate the challenging symptoms of depression and anxiety as well as chronic migraine. His approach is both compassionate and tailored to my individual needs, making me feel understood and supported throughout the process. 

 With Paul’s guidance, I have been able to embrace a more homeopathic method of healing, transitioning of many pharmaceuticals which has made a profound difference in my overall well-being. 

If you are seeking an acupuncturist who genuinely cares about your health and well-being, I highly recommend Paul. His expertise and holistic approach have truly made a positive impact on my life.

Thank you, Paul, for your incredible support and dedication to your practice!"

"I was diagnosed with POTS several years before starting acupuncture. My doctors and I developed a medication regime that allowed me to keep up with work and daily activities, but I still struggled with fatigue, light-headedness, dizzy spells, and headaches. I was initially skeptical of acupuncture, but understood there was some empirical evidence that supported it as a treatment option. The acupuncture treatments were more restful than I had expected. Paul explained the goals of the placement of the needles, and the theory behind acupuncture, which helped me understand the process. Through acupuncture and Vagus nerve exercises, I noticed that my dizzy spells and lightheadedness were decreasing in frequency. After six months, a lot of my energy returned - as evidenced by my ability to engage in exercise, even after a long day of work. Paul even helped me decrease the severity and frequency of my headaches. Overall, Paul's acupuncture treatments and exercises helped restore the health that I thought I had lost. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is struggling with POTS or other related illness."

“My arms and hands were numb for years and now they feel great. Now we have to find a treatment for my mahjong game.”

“Paul Rooney and acupuncture treatment have been paramount in the pain management of my chronic overuse syndrome. I did not want to become dependent on drugs or attempt invasive surgeries that are reputed to be short term answers. I tried many therapies. If you want to save time and money and purchase exemplary care, see Paul first, you won’t regret it. I also have two friends who quit smoking with his assistance.”

“I was initially apprehensive about acupuncture because I was afraid the needles would hurt. However, a friend strongly recommended Paul Rooney and thought he could help me with my various illnesses. He uses Japanese style needles (flexible and very thin). They don’t hurt me and I have extremely sensitive skin. I see numerous specialists for a wide variety of chronic illnesses. With no disrespect to my other doctors , Paul has helped me more than all my other doctors combined.

​

Rather than focusing on just one symptom or organ of the body, Paul treats the whole person. He has treated numerous symptoms and/or illnesses of mine. Some are physical ones like: fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and back pain. Some are mental ones like: bipolar disorder (manic depression) and panic attacks/anxiety disorder.

​

I have found Paul’s gentle approach to be highly relaxing. I have even fallen asleep during acupuncture sessions! That’s just one example of how relaxing it is for me.

​

I have been a patient of Paul’s for over 5 years now. I discovered that taking a chance to try something I was initially nervous about really paid off! Once I tried acupuncture with Paul and saw how beneficial it is, I became a regular patient. Since it has been so helpful for me, I have referred many others to Paul. I facilitate a support group and have told my support group members about Paul’s gentleness and effectiveness for a wide variety of symptoms. I haven’t had a single person try acupuncture with Paul and come away dissatisfied. In fact, I have had several group members try it and tell me how helpful they found it as well. I am a very satisfied customer. We are fortunate to have such a highly trained and skilled acupuncturist in the Rochester area.”

“I have been a patient of Paul’s for several years and have recommended his services to friends and clients. I had been keeping the pain from herniated discs in my low back in good control for many years with the help of chiropractic, even though Western medical providers insisted that surgery was the only solution. I wondered if a combination of acupuncture and chiropractic would work even better, and it has – I can’t recall the last time I had a bout of pain.

​

Because that was so effective, I asked Paul for his help with other concerns and was delighted with the immediate and persistent relief from vertigo that acupuncture provided, which again had been unrelieved by standard medical treatments. More recently, I’m delighted with the assistance he gave me to finally stop cigarettes. Paul is consistently competent and realistic about what things acupuncture can assist. He is learned and informative, and he creates a safe and healing atmosphere for the treatments.”

“He has made a wonderful difference in my life.”

“I’ve suffered from migraines for over 20 years, trying various treatmets including standard Western medical therapies, chiropractic and two previous attempts with acupuncture from other practices, all with modest or no improvement. I’ve been very pleased by my progress with Paul Rooney. For the squeamish , he uses a minimum number of needles, unlike other practitioners I’ve been to.

I also appreciate the comprehensive approach he has to general wellbeing, including proper diet, exercise, and meditation. I was referred to him by a friend who found relief from her mrigraines, and would no hesitate to recommend him to others.”
