They call him Alexander The Great for a reason. And, no, it's not a stunning case of heterochromia.
Kidding aside, Alex's empathic, human approach underlines his practice. Whether my bed sweats or a chronic injury from chronic HIIT, Alex TK consideration, critical thought, and real results.
I firmly recommend him to friends, so I'd certainly recommend him to you, whatever your aim or ailment. Now, go get pricked!

Alex completely healed an old shoulder injury, as well as chronic headaches and jaw pain within a few sessions. He creates an open and comfortable environment in his office and his knowledge of Chinese medicine and healing techniques are remarkable.

Alex is hugely knowledgeable, warm, and extremely professional. He’s been very effective in helping me with issues ranging from pain to stress to sleep and unlike other acupuncturists I’ve seen, he takes the mystery out of the process and helps me clearly understand the methodology and what to expect physiologically. I highly recommend a visit if you’re seeking a more holistic approach to managing your health and well being.

Dr. Batkin is an extremely skilled active listener and empathetic practitioner. I always feel like he takes the time to understand my treatment needs and delivers excellent care. His knowledge of Chinese acupuncture and medicine is in-depth and he's always willing to share this information to explain how his treatment will benefit me. I would highly recommend his service to any one seeking acupuncture.

Alex is personable, approachable, and attentive to all manner of health concerns. He's great if you're suffering muscle aches or pains, but equally adept at treating anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders. He's also just a great person to know—I always look forward to my weekly visits to his office in the Flatiron!
