Acupuncture POINTS

Been to multiple acupuncture clinics. Yosef hands down crushes all of them. Not only are the sessions great, but he’s such a nice guy you couldn’t dislike him if you tried. Highly recommend trying out Yosef if you’re looking into acupunture.

Yosef made an extra appointment for me on a Saturday and stayed 2 hours after closing hours. He has made recommendations for changes in my diet and supplements that in one week have me feeling like a different person. He doesn’t rush you and has a very personalized approach. Don’t allow the 2 people who had negative things to say deter you. In this day and age there are fast massage clinics that get you in and out and don’t really care about your over health. Yosef is the exact opposite. If you want an acupuncturist who cares about the overall person and not how many people he can shuffle in and out in one day, then go to Yosef.

I went to Yosef for some digestive problems related to my stomach and gallbladder but which were also causing back pain. After one treatment my back pain was significantly improved, and my symptoms continued to improve with continued treatment. The acupuncture also helped with some anxiety issues that I was having. Yosef was very knowledgeable and clearly supports a holistic view for optimal health. He also had many helpful suggestions on herbal remedies and dietary supplements which helped me a lot. I would recommend his acupuncture services to anyone!

I went there for accupuncture and was so treated so well. Josef is a wonderful person and great at what he does. Tamar L

When you walk in the door you know you’ve found the right place. The atmosphere is so peaceful and Yosef and his staff are so pleasant. Acupuncture Points is simply amazing. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and truly concerned with the «whole» individual. I’ve learned so much about health and wellness. I have now made acupuncture a part of my lifestyle, and am so blessed to have been lead to the perfect practice. By incorporating acupuncture into my health conscious lifestyle I’ve seen great benefits in the wellness of not only my body, but also my mind, spirit, and emotions. I would highly highly recommend!

I went to Yosef for extreme nausea during pregnancy. I was impressed with how caring he was during my treatment. He gave many suggestions to help with the nausea. Unfortunately I was so ill, acupuncture didn’t really work for me but it was still super relaxing and I believe it can benefit many ailments effectively. I just had to get over my morning sickness at 16 weeks. I have also been to Donna for massage and love her — always a great experience and they often have special deals if you buy a pack of massages. I would highly recommend Yosef and Donna!

My husband and I met Yosef as the instructor at a Qi Gong class with the Oak Park Park District. Now, many months later, my husband uses Qi Gong every night for calming and during the day to quickly «decompress» at work. He says it’s «an invaluable tool as an alternative to pills.» «The movement and meditative practice make both more powerful than doing each separately.» When I got a cold that I couldn’t beat, I went to Yosef for acupuncture and herbs. He was very thorough and thoughtful during the intake interview and the treatment and herbs helped me kick the cold. He also sent me home with a device and treatment to help my lingering plantar fassitis issues and another device to help clear out my sinuses. I would not hesitate to refer a friend to Yosef for treatment.

I went to Yosef for acupuncture to help induce labor naturally the day before I was going to be induced with meds at the hospital… it worked like a charm! He even made time for me on a day that he wasn’t taking patients because of my situation. Very friendly and informative and I recommend him to family and friends regularly.

I rate this place 5 stars!!! most important Yosef’s technique is very very good!!! He is also very knowlegeable in chinese medicine. The care i get when i go for treatment is outstanding!!! He is a true professional .Warm and caring. the place is clean warm and you can feel the good energy when you walk in .he has treated me for three years for migraine, anxiety and bronchitus with great success. I look forward to treatments. i highly recomend him. THANK YOU YOSEF!!!

He has solved my back pain twice now– I have intermittent sciatic issues and Yosef knows how to work it out. Always helpful and understanding.

I was reading Mo’s review and thought, «wow, how did she write my experience down for me?»
I also called numerous time in the past and wasn’t able to get an appointment. When I realized I’m down to a few days, I called and asked if I can make an appointment for a massage. Yousef said he’ll call me right back, which he did but said he didn’t have anything available except the next day at 9 and 11 am. I informed him that I work so I wasn’t able to make those times and if I could use my groupon another day. He also told me I have two options: either forfeit the groupon or I can use it as a voucher and pay the balance towards another purchase. He told me a massage is $ 75, so I’d have to pay an extra $ 40 out of pocket.
Given that I got the same attitude and experience that Mo had, I don’t blame her for not going and neither will I. I’d rather lose what I paid than spend another dime on this place.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!
So my husband purchased a Groupon certificate for me in May for a massage, which expires in November. I recently had a child so I was unable to redeem it right away due to the time it took to heal from the delivery and due to the fact that I was lactating.
I initially called to make an appointment in September and Yousef’s response was“you want a massage? oh… hhmmm” I said is that a problem, he said «no, it’s just that we are an acupunture clinic.» I said ok, so when can I come in? He said you know what can I call you back I am in the middle of something.
Understandable, it was a Saturday, I thought maybe he would call me back in an hour or so… not the case… he NEVER called back. So when I called back a few days later, he said he wrote my number down wrong. Fine… I asked when he had appointments available and he said when can you come in. I gave him 3 different times and he said he had nothing available, so I asked, well when do you have openings and he said he has random therapists at different times. What kind of an answer is that?
After a few weeks passed I called back because now the coupon was going to expire he stated that the only times he had available were at 8 and 9 in the morning. Clearly not times that people who work can make it. So I asked if he would honor this voucher at a later date since he had no availability and he said no you have 2 options, you can either forfeit your coupon or pay $ 35. Why would I pay $ 35 for a service I already paid for! Plus why would I give my money to a jerk like that… seriously!
He said well you want to wait until the last minute… I said… NO, I attempted to make this appointment with you remember… of course he acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about. At this point I was really upset because I feel like he was not trying to service the customer at all.
I understand a deadline is a deadline, but it’s not like I did not try on several occasions to schedule this appointment.
No wonder he had a groupon offer, because he probably can’t get clients on his own.
I am floored with his nasty attitude and poor customer service. What happened to the customer is always right???

I am confident that if western medicine has failed you, Yosef can help.
He is extremely knowledgeable regarding nutrition, eastern medicine, yoga, meditation, and massage. He is professional yet very personable, and puts your nerves to ease before your first treatment. I have seen him several times now, and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a different way to health.
I went for sleep issues, and after my first treatment, slept like a baby!

Yosef has really halped me with my migraines, tension headaches, lower back pain, and stomach issues. I look forward to my appointments because I feel relaxed and renewed when I leave the office.
He also introduced me to a holistic doctor who has given my more information on my health issues, at the age of 34, than I ever could have imagined I’d know.
I truely feel like I’m on the right path now to improve my health and have a balanced life.

So Far, so good. I visited Dr. Pollack last night and his acupuncture treatment has me feeling much better. I had never had any acupuncture before and he eased me into it. I appreciated his explanations and felt very very comfortable in his extremely-​nice office space. Easy parking right in front of the office, I even lucked out in finding a broken parking meter!
I will raise my star ratings as my back feels better and better (kidding!)
