Patient Reviews
Osteoarthritis
“I noticed significant improvement in my swollen and painful knuckles after my very first visit to Bill. While I originally sought relief for my hands, I was very pleasantly surprised to realize that several other aches and pains, including osteoarthritis in my knee and pressure from bunions in my feet that I has put up with for many years were also greatly improved. I’ve been pain free and experienced such success that my 78 year-old mother who suffers from severe osteoporosis was encouraged to consult with Bill for back pain that refused to go away following a broken back. She reports being able to sleep comfortably on her side for the first time in nearly a year and attributes her improvement to Bill’s treatments. I highly recommend Bill’s services for whatever ails you!”
— Dorothy, North Andover, MAChronic Neck Pain & TMJ
“I consulted William after dealing with chronic neck/ TMJ pain for 2 years. I also carry the dreaded diagnoses of Trigeminal Neuralgia. I had been unsuccessful with many other therapies and was in extreme almost continuous pain and was severely depressed. Immediately upon meeting William I was struck with his calm and sense of authority. After only a few treatments I found that my coping skills improved and this allowed me to somehow get “on top” of the pain rather than being it’s victim. As I continued to see Bill eventually the pain in my neck greatly diminished and my TMJ symptoms very much improved. I have to say that Bill is one of the most professional providers I have ever encountered. His treatment plans work. He is a pleasure to be around and is a most authentic and caring human being. I doubt one could find an Acupuncturist in the Boston area with greater skill or competence.”
— Sue C., North Andover, MAChronic Pain
“I went to Bill with a chronic pain pain problem that I was suffering with for approximately one year. I felt relief after my first treatment and increasingly improved while under Bill’s care. Not only is Bill excellent at what he does, he also has a kind and compassionate approach.
“I stopped seeing Bill when my pain subsided and approximately six months later I developed a very severe headache which was lasting for several days. Bill came in on his day off to give me a treatment. I felt relief immediately. I really appreciated Bill coming in on his day off.
“I highly recommend Bill for anyone considering acupuncture.”
— RoseanneNeck Pain & Limited Range of Motion
“I just started acupuncture treatments with Bill and have immediately experienced amazing results. Even when I don’t get enough sleep and am tired, I feel so much extra energy. It’s helped me get up off the couch and working on my many projects around the house. I have also had much improvement in my neck, an area in which I’ve had a lot of pain and reduced range of motion. I have gone to two other acupuncturists in the past and I have had the best results by far with Bill. I look forward to working with him to achieve a future with improved health and well being.”
— Susan P., Boston, MARheumatoid Arthritis
“Having been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis a couple of years ago, the rapid onset of symptoms such as swelling of the hands and feet and intense pain seemed to be a death knell for a normal active life. In fact within a couple of months I was unable to climb stairs, and walking was proving to be painful due to the extensive swelling of my feet. Disability loomed ever closer….Acupuncture was recommended as a treatment option, and while I was skeptical at that point I would have tried anything. So I started my acupuncture treatments, and within 3 treatments was walking (!) merrily down the stairs and on the street. Within 6 months I had my life back, and was not feeling like I need to be disabled. In fact, I now go for long walks at lunchtimes. After the initial treatments, I now keep to a maintenance schedule, and have had little or no problem with the associated swelling – and if any symptoms do act up, I know that the acupuncture treatment will keep it under control.
“I would say that acupuncture has been the most important treatment for RA in terms of controlling my symptoms and allowing me to live my life to the utmost, and I would highly recommend it for other RA patients.”
— Suzanne, Boston, MAFrom Another Professional
I had the pleasure of working in the same office as Bill Mogan for several years when I was in Boston and I hold his clinical skills in the highest regard. He has helped several of my patients through some very tough patches and has even helped me recover from a severe injury personally. I frankly do not know what I would have done without him. I trust his skills completely and can not recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a good, rational acupuncturist (who is also trained fully in chinese herbology by the way) you couldn’t make a better choice. I would send any friend to him for treatment without hesitation.
– Peter W. McManus, D.C., Chicago, ILKnee Problems & Cosmetic Acupuncture
My knees had gotten to the point where I thought needed to see an orthopedic doctor to arrange a possible surgery. However, good news was the doctor didn’t think they were bad enough to have surgery at the moment, but that I needed to take some preventative measures to see if we could delay surgery for a while longer. She was a proponent of alternative therapies and suggested acupuncture.
Bill had high praises from several people at work so I made the appointment, and have been very pleased with the outcome that acupuncture treatment has given me! Bill is very thorough, explains everything he does and why he did it (I tend to be nosey!), and really pays attention to the issues I bring up when I see him.
I approached Bill about a year ago about the cosmetic side of acupuncture, and found he had experience in that, so we began the those treatments. Let me just say, I haven’t told very many people about what I was doing.. But the results and comments have been phenomenal! Even my own mother thought I had “something” done!
I am so pleased with his treatments, his sincerity, and his ability to really listen and see the nuances that one’s body projects when you go into his office. He’s just really great and I recommend him to everyone I know!!

How old is Chinese Medicine?
Acupuncture originated in China over 3,000 years ago. It is part of the holistic healing system of healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine.
How does it work?
Acupuncture works by bringing balance to the body, thus allowing healing to take place. The classical Chinese explanation is that energy (Qi) flows in channels/meridians throughout the body. If there is disruption in this flow, illness/fatigue/pain will result. Acupuncture restores harmony to the body natural healing system. Acupuncture is performed by inserting very thin needles into specific points where the Qi is both concentrated and accessible, thus providing a stimulus to encourage healing.
What are the needles like?
The needles used are ultra-thin and made of stainless steel; FDA-approved, that are designed for single-use only. The needles have been sterilized by the manufacturer prior to packaging and used only once, then properly disposed – I never ever reuse needles.
Does it hurt?
Many patients report that they do not feel the needle insertion or some may feel a sensation similar to a little pinch.
Do I have to believe in Acupuncture for it to work?
No, the healing reaction from acupuncture is physically generated, but I have found the patients that have a comfort and understanding of acupuncture do tend to have better results.
How quickly can I expect to feel better?
The correct answer to this question is “it depends”. Your relief may be immediate, delayed for a few hours or even develop after one to three days. The relief may last for a few hours on the first visit and then last longer with each successive treatment. Or, relief may last from the first treatment until your next visit. It is important to recognize that we are all individuals with different conditions, ailments and concerns; individual response to treatment varies.
How often should I be treated?
Each patient, condition and their response to acupuncture is unique. The number and frequency of treatments will vary on a case by case basis. Feel free to email me to discuss your condition and I can give you an idea of what I feel would be an effective treatment course for you.
Does acupuncture always help?
No, but it usually does. Every condition and treatment plan is different – sometimes it takes 7-8 treatments for acupuncture to have a healing impact.
What should I wear for the treatment?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be rolled up to your elbows or knees.
Does insurance cover acupuncture?
I do accept some insurance plans including No-Fault and Workmen’s Compensation. Please check with your Insurance Company Provider for their rules about acupuncture coverage details, such as number of visits allowed, diagnoses covered, and co-pay amounts.
