Wu, MD

Do not waste your time with this establishment. On every platform including his business card, he lists his hours of operation as being 10am to 7pm every day but Tuesday. Desperately needing a session for an injured foot, my girlfriend and I wanted to make sure we were seen, so I called and asked to make an appointment. His reply:“Walk-in”. End of conversation. So we moved everything in our schedule around and hurriedly traveled an hour to his office. When we arrived at 4:45, he said «oh, day off» to which we said «what?» «Im closing at 5». If that was the case, why didn’t he mention this on the phone? He wasted both me and my girlfriend’s time. Don’t bother. I will be advising friends to go elsewhere.

I was referred to Dr. Wu by my Chinese friend’s Grandmother, who’s been using TCM for her entire life, and has gone to him for over 30 years.
As a result, I’ve been going to Dr. Wu for about 2 years and he’s helped me with my tight back/​shoulder. I don’t visit him as often as I should, I usually just go back when it starts to tighten up and it only takes a session or two to feel close to full relief.
He’s incredible and I highly recommend.
Note: his office is basic and to the point. Don’t expect anything fancy, go for the service itself and trust that you’ll be taken care of.

I never write an review on Unilocal but Dr Wu is the best TCM doctor I have ever met (I have been to many TCM doctors prior to Dr Wu). I went to see Dr Wu for my dermatitis. He has years of experience and wisdom and be warned he can see through a person’s constitution and personality. It turned out, my dermatitis is a symptom of an imbalanced endocrine system. I have never felt so zen and peaceful after one session of acupuncture, and of course, my face is not itchy/​red anymore after I walked out of his clinic, and it looks so much better than before. Dr Wu also shares with you his wisdom and how to take care of yourself. In my case, he advised regular meditation and avoiding certain food groups. I personally «cured» my acne by cutting off diary and felt so much happier and energetic after becoming a vegan so I totally agree with his advice and can relate to his food/​mind/​body connection.

It’s 2015 and for the past year I have not been doing Whole Body Vibration (studio closed) and still, under Dr. Wu’s care, my knee and body are great! His price has gone up a bit ($ 60) and he now gives me more like 1 ½ hrs. (instead of 2 hours), but I think it’s because I don’t need it. But just wanted to be clear with people. He has also helped me avoid carpal tunnel & cubital tunnel surgery! My arm doctor gave me a month in which to try acupuncture and Dr. Wu cured it in 3 weeks (I think I went twice a week.) What a gift to avoid any surgery, but it was my right arm and would have laid me up for while. I am still so grateful for Dr. Wu!

I was referred to Dr. Wu by a colleague of mine. I have two herniated discs both of which also are degenerated. After having yet another episode of spasms and sciatica, suffering the entire day at work, I decided to go down to him. He was warm, welcoming, and professional. This was my first time to experience acupuncture and cupping. It gave me relief. Today I went to him with yet another episode. I could barely walk 6 steps without having to stop and hold on to something in sharp pain. By the end of my treatment I was able to walk the two blocks back to my car non-​stop with very little discomfort. Looking back to where I had been 2 hours before, it was a miracle! I’ve been to him about 3 or 4 times now. All I can say is he’s amazing! He makes a difference.

Absolutely AMAZING non nonsense chinese doctor with 40 years experience in bone setting, acupuncture and homeopathic remedies. If you have joint pain, osteo arthristis, degenerative arthritis, sports injuries, in my opinion, he is by far the best chinese doctor in new york

Dr. Wu is a very nice, congenial and skilled acupuncturist. He is also very affordable ($ 50 ish). In response to the last reviewer, that person is right, he’s not your typical doctor: He is a one man operation, no receptionist, no set appointment times (walk-​ins are the way to go, you will not wait long), his english is good but not excellent. The walls of each room do not go to the ceiling, so you will likely hear his conversations with other patients while you are being treated. If you come in with your partner or a friend he may treat you both in the same room. BUT my point in saying all that, is if you can get over the slightly atypical atmosphere — he’s got decades of experience and skill practicing medicine and from my experience he’s very good. He came highly recommended to me, and I would definitely say the same (he slowly helped me overcome old, chronic pain that had western doctors saying surgery).
Dr Wu is 5 stars.

I made an appointment recently to get a well needed treatment. After filling out my patient registration form I was really turned off how un professional Dr. Wu was. I was in the waiting area with two other patients and he started talking to the gentleman sitting next to me about my medical needs and why I needed a treatment. If you are a «doctor» you should know to keep your patients medical information confidential. This guy is very obnoxious. There are plenty of licensed acupuncturists in the city, I know I’ll never go back to Dr. Wu.
