“A few days ago, I suddenly felt severe lower back pain that I had never experienced before. I had no idea what caused it, so I was very nervous and scared. While searching for a proper clinic, I found this place. I thought the acupuncture specialist could treat my problem without the usual pre-procedures, which often take a long time to complete. Dr. Ju was very thoughtful. After the consultation, he diagnosed my symptoms and explained in detail .This made me feel calm and relaxed. He performed all the treatments himself, and it was just as great as the experiences I had in Korea. I’ve had three sessions so far, and I feel much better now.”

“Great experience for a first- timer! The doctor explained quite a bit to support my overall health and provided a cup of tea afterward.
The therapy itself was just what I needed and I'll definitely go again.”

beware: there is a fee for each visit even if covered by insurance. they didnt tell me this until the end of the appointment. zocdoc didnt mention it either. otherwise, doctor was kind, throughout, and seemed knowledgeable. staff was also kind and welcoming. place was clean.

I was a bit anxious going into my appointment because it was my first time doing acupuncture, but I was put right at ease. After three appointments I'm feeling calmer and more ready for IVF.

After several failed IUI and IVF treatments, we were so spent (physically, emotionally and financially) and disappointed. We were introduced to Dr. Kim I was naturally skeptical but after 5 weeks of treatment, my wife was pregnant! Thank you so much Dr. Kim for helping to make our wish for a family reality.

This was my first time and we were interested in exploring it for infertility. Dr. Kim was so easy to talk to and knowledgeable about acupuncture as a complement to IUI & IVF. He clearly explained everything including insurance considerations and I walked away with a much better understanding of the whole process.

As Dr. Kim's patient I have never felt more cared for in any other professional. He was present and listened to my concerns and was always there for us in any stage of our process.
