Dear Patients:

I hope this message finds you well. I want to inform you of an important transition in your care at 5 Point Acupuncture.

I’ve been offered a new role as Clinical Program Manager of Integrative Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering. This exciting opportunity means leaving my practice here in New York City. While this is a bittersweet moment for me, I’m deeply committed to ensuring you receive the highest standard of care.

With great confidence and gratitude, I am transitioning your care to my esteemed teacher and mentor, Rev. Dr. Diane Rooney. Diane is an extraordinary acupuncturist and healer with over 20 years of experience in Eastern healing techniques, acupuncture, and Taoism.

About Diane Rooney:

Rev. Dr. Diane Rooney, DMin, M.S., L.Ac. D.OM., holds a Doctorate in Oriental Medicine, a Doctor of Ministry, and a Master’s of Science in Acupuncture. She is also licensed in Massage Therapy and holds a National Certificate in Reflexology. Diane’s extensive training doesn’t stop there; she’s a Reiki master, certified aromatherapist, board-certified herbalist, and currently serves as the second-year dean at One Spirit Interfaith Seminary.

Diane has a profound background in Pediatric Oncology/Hematology, providing acupuncture and integrative healthcare to patients, families, and staff at both St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital in New Jersey and New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. Her passion for teaching and healing has also made her a senior faculty member at Tri-State College of Acupuncture and an independent teacher of Eastern healing techniques for over two decades.

Diane’s unique approach to treatment is rooted in her dedication to personalized care. She offers one-on-one healing sessions, ensuring each patient receives her full attention. Diane remains in the room throughout your session, incorporating additional therapies as needed to enhance the effectiveness of your acupuncture treatment.

In 2014, Diane was recognized as a Worldwide Leader in Health Care and Top Integrative Acupuncturist, and she continues to co-author research articles on the effectiveness of Chinese medicine. With private practices in both New York City and Northampton, Massachusetts, Diane’s commitment to her patients is evident in every aspect of her work.

Next Steps:

Since I will no longer practice in NYC, I encourage you to contact Diane directly to continue your care. You can book appointments on her website: Diane Rooney Integrative Acupuncture. After booking an appointment with Diane, email Ashleigh if you’d like us to discuss your care with her. We’ll send a group email for your permission, which will authorize me to consult with Diane on your care, including sharing your health history and the work we’ve done together, if you choose.

For patients with insurance, Diane provides superbills that you can submit directly to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Thank you for your trust and confidence in me over the years. I’m excited about this new chapter and am equally excited for you to experience Diane’s exceptional care.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or if there’s anything I can do to assist with this transition.

Warm regards,
Ryan Smith
