After living through two car accidents, every moments of my life had been filled with more or less agonizing pain. And I tried everything to mitigate that pain, too - only with little to no success. When Jason introduced me to Dr. Kim, I was naturally skeptical. I gave acupuncture a fairy try, and like any other gimmicks it barely did any good.
Why should Dr. Kim be any different? Nevertheless, half being charitable to my friend and another half surrendering to his tenacity, I committed to Dr. Kim's treatment. although the first four sessions yielded no visible improvement, I was impressed by his professionalism and subtlety and decided to s stick out the remaining six sessions. After the fifth session, the resilient strain on neck and shoulder, as well as chronic headache, began to subside a little. After three months, I am much more wholesome than I ever have been since the last accident. Before committing to Dr. Kim's expert care, I could scarcely walk - now I jog with ease. What more could I ask for? I give Dr. Kim my sincerest, most gracious thanks.

I have had a shoulder injury for 15 years. I tried everything I could but nothing helped me with the symptom. Dr. Kim killed the pain and the pain level is less than 5% now after 20 treatments. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to everyone. He knows his job.

Sinus and ear infection are what brough me to Dr. Kim. His acupuncture techniques were totally different from what I remember from about ten years agog, when I received acupuncture treatment for back pain. Dr. Kim's treatment was painless and it took only five minutes to complete. On the top of that, it was vastly cheaper than I expected. Dr. Kim then ordered no-beef and no-milk products diet for the following three months. My sinus got better by far after second treatment, and the ear infection saw much better improvement too. And then, after two months of treatment, sinus infection turned serious again - what surprised me, though, was that Dr. Kim predicted this from the beginning. He explained that, while the external symptoms are still the same, this second wave of sinus infection is of a different cause than that of the first one Dr. Kim prescribed different treatments, and 90% of the renewed symptoms all but disappeared a month later. The remainning 10%, say Dr. Kim, needs be extinguished through eating foodstuffs that are beneficial to my constitution. I referred to Dr. Kim two of my friends, each of whom was suffering from back pain and insomnia respectively, and both of them reported back to me with marked improvement and satisfaction. I give whomever reading this tesiminial my wholehearted recommendation for Dr. Kim and his service.

For over 7 years, I had suffered from plantar facilitis. The was really bad especially in the morning. That pain brought me a depression too. I tried PT, chiropractic, massage and acupuncture before seeing Dr. Kim. I was skeptical when my friend referred me to Dr. Kim because I had already tried acupuncture. But my friend told me that he was really different and knowlegeable. In a month I noticed big difference. I took two treatment per week for two months and continue my treatment for maintenance once a week. I am pain free now. Thank you, Dr. Kim.

I was in search of someone that could help with my plantar facilitis after seeing several doctors and trying everything I could. After couple of unique treatments, I can walk with free of pain and I have no pain at all especially when I get up in the morning. My husband also had series treatment for his back pain and he is able to strech and bend. Thank you.

I have had a cough for two years. Just after two treatment with Dr. Kim's unique 8 constitution acupuncture, amazingly, my chronic cough just stopped. It is so amazing how acupuncture stops chronic cough so quickly.
I hope everyone who goes to see Dr. Kim has the same experience as I had.

Medications, functional medicine, homeopathy, yoga... Nothing relieved my reflux symptom. Dr. Kim changed my life. I had suffered over 6 years, and now I am no longer take any medications. I felt better after each treatment and I am able to eat without any stomach or reflux problems. He told me what I should eat and avoid to eat. It was totally different concept from conventional medicine. He will do his best for treating patients.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kim for over 3 years. I suffered from stomache and acid reflux affecting to my throat for years. All medications I took were effective temporarily and it hadn't been improved overall. But, ever since I saw Dr. Kim, I have been so much better and I do not take any medication. After three months of intense treatment, I see Dr. Kim once a week for tune-up and maintenance. His approach is unique and it makes sense. Every human has different system and he will tell you how you are different. Thanks.

I started getting acupuncture to help with my chronic indigestion. It had been long time (for over 20 years) struggling with the symptom, and gastro doctors hadn't been able to figure out the cause and treatment. I was skeptical about acupuncture until I had the first treatment. I have noticed big improvement with two months of treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Kim.

Where do I start? I can describe this as a miracle. I suffered from regressive knee disk for ten years, and then Dr. Kim came along and deployed a seemingly insignificant needle on my arms and legs. Instead of inserting needles, he just poked but was not sensitive. Right after treatment, my knee just folded in like that, without pain. At the moment, everything was surreal even though I was the one who was experiencing it! To be sure, about 80% of the pain returned after I got back home that day. But with the treatment spanning the following month, I'd say 70% of the original pain has dissipated. I am simply amazed at the fact taht regressive knee pain can be dealt wth so efficiently even without pysical surgery.

I accompanied Dr. Kim to the Hispanic community where I live. I assisted him as a translator, and in the coure of working for him I witnessed some mighty amazing things. Old lady who couldn't even bend his knee did so right away after one acupuncture treatment. Another person who was dragging his legs and limping as a result of chronic intervertebral disc disorder could walk comfortably again at his own surprise. A former dentist who had severe shoulder pain was suddenly able to lift his arms. Other patients with varying symptoms experienced instant relief. I don't know if Dr. Kim in particular is a marvelous physician, or acupuncture in general is so potent a branch of medicine. What I know is that, after that day, I too feel a strong urge to learn acupncture.

After couples of tratment, my allergic symptoms were diminised by 90%. I felt so much better that I stopped taking my inhaler. Now I am an acupuncture believer. Dr. Kim treated my wife's long-time chronic indigestion problem. She feels so much better too, and her back pain is also gone. We take weekly acupuncture session for the maintanence and preventive purpose. I believe Dr. Kim makes high rates of success in treating with chronic symptoms.

We had been receiving infertility treatment for a year and half. We had tried five IVF and decided to try alternative treatment. I searched google and chose Dr. Kim for acupuncture treatment. Dr. Kim was very knowlegeable and he explained everything in his view. According to 8 constitution theory, I am a Pulmotonian, and he gave me the regiment lists for Pulmotonian. After 4 months of treatment, the real miracle happened. I became pregnant and now I am 23 weeks pregnant. Dr. Kim is so amazing!

I have known Dr. Kim for 13 years. One of my church member introduced me to dr. Kim. My friend had been able to be pregnant and had a baby boy after seeing and getting treatment with Dr. Kim. With a hope of having a baby in a bit old age I had series of treatment and I had the same miracle in the fourth of the treatment. My husband and I had cried out. It was the last hope we could try as we know of. After I had a healthy sweet boy, we planned to have a second child. We tried to conceive in a natural way without any help, but it didn't work for half year. We had no hesitation to go to see Dr. Kim again and this time I was able to pregnant in the second cycle (second months) treatment. I conceived twin baby boys, and now we have three children. I referred friends to him and most of them were satisfied with Dr. Kim's treatment. He is passionate and professional.
I highly recommend him.

I am so happy that I have found Dr. Kim. I had suffered from PCOS and was hard to conceive. I had depression for almost 9 years. I was already the person who strongly belive the power of acupuncture, but decided to find new acupuncturist who were more likely specialized in internal medicine and fertility. My cousin recommended Dr. Kim. She said that her colleague had a baby after she tried acupuncture with Dr. Kim. I am 20 weeks pregnant and so excited. Thank you, Dr. Kim!

Dr. Kim helped me a lot. First, I credit his treatments for helping me conceive. I was worried about my fertility for my age (42). He also helped me reduce morning sickness and back pain during pregnancy. Dr. Kim is an amazing person.

1. Menstrual Pain
I had extremly bad menstrual pain and cramps over 15 years. I am 36 years old. My friend brought me to see Dr. Kim for treatment. Pain was so severe that I was not able to work. As soon as Dr. Kim did acupucture, my pain immediately disappeared almost by 90%. How can this be possible! Why all the medical doctors do not treat this? I just let everyone knows that his treatment is different from what people generally imagine about acupuncture treatment. The session is quick because he does not leave needled on the body. He pokes the needle with a device. It is not hurting. I have had almost twenty treatments, and I have just minor pain before period. He also fixed my sleep problem. I am able to sleep well. I highly recommend Dr. Kim for any symptoms.

I have suffered from breast cancer. Dr. Kim was by my side throgh surgery and chemo. I truly believe acupuncture with Dr. Kim took great role beating breast cancer. Headache, skin problems, and drowsy feeling have been so much better. I am having treatment once aweek now, it balances my internal system. I highly recommend acupuncture with Dr. Kim. Thank you.

I was diagnosed to rheumatoid arthritis about 15 years ago. I have had joint joint deformity with pain. My family doctor refered me to Dr. Kim and I had first acupuncture experience with Dr. Kim. For the first 5-6 treatments, I haven't noticed much difference, but my problem had been so long that I continued treatment. Dr. Kim also said that the progress is different by people. I felt a little bit of difference in pain after about 15 treatments. I am continuing my treatment two times a week and it has been 8 months now. About 70% of pain was diminished and sizes of swelling in each join also reduced by 30%. It is a miracle.
Each treatment takes only about 5 minutes and not painful. I really appreciate for Dr' Kim's work and effort.

Depression and anxiety runs through my family tree. I am the mother of two children and wife of the sweetest husband in the world. Yet at the same time, I tried commiting suicide for four times. My mother suffered from the same depression and eventually killed herself. Last month, after my last attempted suicide, my husband took me to Dr. Kim on his friend's urging.
Dr. Kim diagnosed that my mental problems might be also conneted to subscribing to a wrong kind of diet. Rather than the vegetarian diet that I upheld for almost twenty years, I was to eat more beef an educe vegetable consumption. My constitution, according to Dr. Kim, is so formed that vegetable intensive diet does more harm than good, including the worsening of depression and anxiety. Now, I had been told my whole life to equeate meat with unhealthiness, and vegetable with well-being, and Dr. Kim's instruction was so contrary to my long-held belief that I didn't readily follow his advice in the beginning.
I did begin receiving acupuncture treatments, however, two times a week. even just after the first treatment, I felt that something that was clogging up my mind began to falter away a bit. Placing my trust on Dr. Kim, I subscribed to his herbal medicine a month later from my first acupuncture tratment, and began eating the foods that Dr. Kim picked out for me that go along naturally with my constitution. the result was markedly more cheerful and rejuvenated mindset. My daughter started brightening up from about two months later then I did. Hubby, my husband, by the way, completely got over the back pain after six acupuncture sessions with Dr. Kim. He overexerted himself once again at golf course and is getting Dr. Kim's help yet again. Our family's well being, both mental and physical, has come to depend largely on Dr. Kim.

Prior to acupuncture, I tried physical therapy and chiropractic but the level of the pain remained same. I also tried acupuncture with another local acupuncturist, and was about the same. After researching, I decided to try 8 constitution acupuncture. After several treatments, the pain level gradually subsided and I was able to stop taking the pain medication, no longer needed the wrist braces. After 16 treatments, I feel very minimal feeling. It was a wonderful experience. I refered my coworker for his back pain, and she also satisfied with the treatment.

My family physician referred me to Dr. Kim. She said she referred about 20 patients to Dr. Kim with back and joint pains by far and most patients reported good results. I suffered from back pain and had two surgeries, but the pain didn't wear off. I was so skeptical and negative for getting acupuncture treatment in the beginning. Surprisingly, after one treatment, my feeling of pain diminished by 70%. I had acupncture treatment twice a week for three months and my pain level is 1 or 2 out of 10. Previous level before acupuncture was, I would say, 8. It was extreme pain. I am continuing treatment once a week for maintanece. I am so excited about the improvement.

I saw Dr. Kim today for my back pain and I already feel much better. So weired. I had surgeries twice for my back and suffered from it with sharp pain for 7 years. How could this happen. I've tried a few different acupuncturists in this area that weren't helpful. I will continue to get treatments with Dr. Kim.

At 87, I doggedly carried out one day after another with bodyache all over my body and especially the soul-crushing back pain that reaches its peak at every dawn. My physician blamed fibromyalgia, but blaming alone didn't help relieving me of pain. My good friend mary, now crisp 94 year-old, recommended Dr. Kim, whom, she praised for healing her own back pain. I almost regretted going to him through the first ten treatments. I wans't feeling like I was getting better, and at times I felt even worse than before! I was ready to quit when Mary urged me to stay on. The healing, she insisted, came later in the stage. Dr. Kim was apologetic, but asked for my patience as he was trying to locate the core cause of my bodyache. After around the welfth treatment, I suddenly realized that I no longer wake up from the pain in the middle of my slumber. Now I even travel with little fear of finding myself being pain-struck on Motel six bed. I use this testimonial to express my sincerest gratitude toward Dr. Kim.

I am 63 years old and had suffered from what medical doctors said Menieres disease. Before I tried acupuncture, I never believed acupuncture. My new family doctor suggested me to try acupuncture with Dr. Kim.
Unbelievable. After one treatment, my symptoms disappeared. How can this happen? I still wonder acupuncture treatment really fixed my disease. I hadn't done anything on that day except for acupuncture treatment. I think Dr. Kim's treatment played a major role taking away my meniere's symptom.
Grace L.
I have been seeing Dr. Kim for about a year. I am an engineer and I don't know how acupuncture works. It works anyway. I was bit nervous about the needles, but it has minimal sensation or no feeling at all. My life has been changed since I met Dr. Kim. I can survive now. Thank you!

I was referred by my family physician for my sciatic pain. I am also ulcerative colitis patient. Dr. Kim said that he treats with immune diseases. So I asked him to treat me with ulcerative colitis first. I had three treatments per week and each treatment took less than 10 minutes. He applies Korean style acupuncture and uses totally different types of acupuncture skill. Dr. Kim said that is better for internal problems. I handn't noticed much difference until 3rd weeks, and began to have skepticism in my mind. From 4th week the symptoms were gradually reduced. I still have acupuncture tratment with Dr. Kim for maintenance and I feel so much better. I don't take any medication.

My young child girl began suffering from terrible atopic dermatitis around when she was two year-old. I became more expert in atopic dermatitis than average doctors, studying and trying numerous treatments on her on my own. A colleague from my work recommended that I visit Dr. Kim for what she called 'constitution examination'. She testified that, after several months's treatment and sticking to Dr. Kim's diet plan, her constipation and skin condition saw much improvement and eventually dissapeared. The very notion of individual constitutions interested me, and I visited just for one time consultation. In our initial meeting, Dr. Kim showed great depth and scope of medical knowledge and his professionalsim impressed me deeply, and I decided to entrust my daughter to his care. To tell the truth, I thought of giving up in the very beginning, as I didn't see quite as dramatic improvement as I expected. At some point, though, my daughter began scratching less and less. She is nine-year-old now, so she's been suffering from itchiness for full seven years/ And then, with Dr. Kim's treatment and advice on diet, she does not suffer as much. In fact, my girl now voluntarily eats only the foodstuff that Dr. Kim recommends her based on 8 constitution diet. I don't know what hellish time we would still have had to go through if we hadn't meet Dr. Kim. He is now the family physician of us all.

I have been suffering from urinary problems for mor than 5 years with difficulty initiating stream and pain during urination. Uro doctor suggested me to take a surgery. But a friend of mine, which is a internal medicine physician, suggested me to try acupuncture prior to surgery. It worked. First, I am not waking and getting up for bathroom over the full night. and the function is almost back to normal. Everything happened within two months. Thank you, Dr. Kim.
Kevin M.
I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Kim for his care, passion, and knowledge. I had been suffering from trigeminal neuralgia for 8 years and living in the hell. I visited all kinds doctors with no relief. I tried acupuncture too, but it didn't work out. I was in hopless situation. One day my husband heard from his colleague about Dr. Kim's uniqueness. After 6 months of treatment, I am almost free from pain and depression. Pain was gradually diminshed over the period of time. He treated my daughter's acne too. Dr. Kim has so much knowledge and experiecne, highly recommend!

I am 75 years old woman and had not been able to sleep more than 2 hours for over 35 years. I had often stayed up in bed throught the night. My friend at the senior community center told me to try acupuncture with Dr. Kim. After two treatments, I slept about 4 hours. For the next couple of treatment I slept 2 hours as usual. After 5th or 6th treatment, I was able to sleep about 5 hours. It has been 2 years now since I saw Dr. Kim. I keep continuing treatment with Dr. Kim twice a month. My general energy and mood levels have been improved. I highly recommend him to everyone.
Ruth F.
Dr. Kim is an excellent practioner of acupuncture. I have been seeing him for a few months for the wrist pain and constipation. He treated my wrist pain in just a few treatments. With trust I started getting treatment for constipation. Dr. Kim told me that it might take some time to see the improvement for I have been having this problem for more than 30 years. Yes, it had been very bad and I had tried numorous methods to lesson my symptom through my life. I had 3 treatments per week in the beginning and now get one treatment each week. He helped me again. I feel much better and comfortable. Even my skin tone is better. Thank you.
Amy L.
Having aupuncture with Dr. Kim is the best treatment I've ever had for diabetes. I've been to many internal medicine doctors. Dr. Kim, acupuncturist, is the best so far. 8 constitution regimen. It really works. How we eat is the most important thing. But we don't know which caterories of food are especially beneficial for us even though we have different response from foods. Dr. Kim will tell you about your system. I am sure that you will have the same experience as I had.
