15 mins before I arrive they call me to say they don’t take my insurance anymore and ask to cancel the appointment. Receptionist was terrible.

My old acupuncturist retired and I have tried several places and Byong is FANSATIC! He adjust the session to your needs and helps all part of the body. I had a meniscus fear and every doctor thought my back and leg pains were from that. Byoung realized it was from a muscle in my leg. Since then, me have been working on it and I have a quality of life back!

This is a healing space. I first went for acupuncture treatment on my lower back, neck, and shoulders. I was in lots of pain but after the first session, I felt such relief and my tensions were almost gone. I am extremely picky regarding where to go. You can always depend on Byonysuk and its compassionate team.

I have been going twice a week for my back. Before I came I was in so much pain and it was difficult to even stand up from sitting position. After a couple of weeks, I felt a significant improvement. I'm so appreciative for the great results I've obtained.

This was my first experience with acupuncture and it was very positive. I was in pain and called as an emergency and got an appointment the same day. The office is clean and professional. Being a healthcare provider myself I know quality and excellence when I see it. Dr. Kim was skilled and patient. Felt relief right away.

I have been having major headaches lately and insomnia. I heard that acupuncture helps so I contacted with Dr. Kim. For my first appointment I was very nervous because I thought it was going to be very painful. But after they put the needle in, it felt like a little pinch. According to the Dr. Kim, the needles targets specific area in my body, to stimulate nerves and increase blood flow . And after a few treatments my headaches didn't occur as much and sleeping got much better. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants to try acupuncture.

Excellent treatment I've done. I visited with a stomach ache problem an I've been in pain for a long time surprisingly, after receiving Dr. Kim's treatment for a month, it's much better and now I have no pain. I used to be afraid of needle treatment, but its acupuncture technique was so good and gentle. He is very professional and thoughtful.
