“My first visit to Atlas Health Center and acupuncture performed by Dr. Noah Dong Seon Yoo was wonderful. It was completely painless—most of the time I didn't even feel the needles. The atmosphere was peaceful and Dr. Dong is kind, caring and gentle, highly-rated acupuncturist. He took time to explain the connection between the needles and the body’s pain points and provided with valuable recommendations for the pain management exercises at home. I highly recommend Atlas Health Center and Dr. Noah Dong Seon Yoo!”

“I have been dealing with persistent forearm pain for quite some time, without fully realizing how much I had been compensating for it in my daily life. During my first acupuncture session, as soon as the low-frequency electric pulse machine was applied, I became acutely aware of the extent of my discomfort and how long I had been enduring it. Within the first ten minutes, I was genuinely moved to tears by the significant relief I experienced. I am truly looking forward to my next visit and am hopeful about returning to a sense of normalcy. ”
