Bruce Hirsch

I am not sure where the last reviewer got the idea that this man was trained as a massage therapist. That information is incorrect and he does not seem like the sort of guy to market himself as something that he isn’t.
I found this one-​man operation on Groupon– an unreal $ 22 for a one-​hour acupuncture session/​consultation. EASILY the least expensive I have ever seen– typically this costs $ 40 – 80. Admittedly I was skeptical, but I finally felt I would be able to afford something like this.
So I had been having shooting neck pain for a good year and a half at this point– as a graphic designer and as an fairly recent art school graduate it was safe to assume that my skeleton was a little out of whack. After the first session the pain was gone.
Of course, as the weeks went on there was some stiffness and aching from chiropractic/​acupuncture healing, but after the standard 12 sessions I felt great.
Dr. Hirsch does not operate like most doctors– that does not discredit him. He is upfront about how much the sessions will cost you with what insurance you have. He does not bill you later or charge you for things like phone calls.
He also doesn’t hold back when it comes to casual topics of conversation. He’s very blunt and informal with his patients while still being professional. I think that’s cool. Sure, he’s a little eccentric– the paintings in his office aren’t hung up and maybe he has no intention of doing so. But who cares? This guy clearly knows what he’s doing.

I bought a 60 minute massage from Google Offers and was very excited to use it. When I called «Dr. Hirsch» at Acupuncture & Chiropractic Center of Boston (located in Wellesley) he offered me acupuncture treatment but I declined.
I showed up to my appt., filled out the paperwork and declined to give him my insurance info when he asked for it.
Long story short, this «Dr.» is not trained in massage, didn’t have any support pillows for laying on the table and gave me a 40 minute massage– not 60 minute. Which was fine because the massage was awful and it actually hurt at times.
This guy is a clown and I feel bad for anyone who visits him next. Stay away.
