Thomas Cho is very sympathetic towards my medical needs. I was recently at BeAti for two unrelated issues. One for a reset detox diet and the other for shoulder pain. He ensures that I get the proper treatment for both. Procedures and insurance coverages were thoroughly explained. I have recommended Thomas Cho to several of my friends and acquaintances who have complained about their aches and pains. I rave about their expertise and professionalism.

I've been going to Dr. Cho for over a year now for many things. It started with chronic ankle pain to carpel tunnel syndrome and finally tennis elbow. He has been able to help me through each and every single one of my problems. His style of acupuncture focuses on treating the root of the problem and not just the symptoms. His clinic is very clean and welcoming environment.

Great acupuncture service and very knowledgeable. For awhile I was experiencing health issues due to stress. After seeing Thomas for a few sessions I feel so much better. I am always looking forward to my treatment after a long day at work.

I came in to see Dr. Cho with terrible pain from sciatica. I could barely walk, sit, sleep or do anything active. He explained carefully what five element Korean acupuncture is and how it will help me with my symptoms. I gradually started to feel better after a few treatments. It’s been a little over a month now and I am pain free. This has been a great experience.

Dr. Cho is great. I had terrible hormonal acne and PMS so I decided try acupuncture. The inflammation went down after a few weeks and I was feeling less irritable. I’m still coming in regularly once a week and I’m seeing great results. Highly recommend coming here.

They have the best detox program that I’ve successfully completed! Thomas was very friendly and knowledgeable. He helped me set a goal and with Acupuncture treatments and drinking herbal teas I’ve successfully reached my target weight. This was a great way to detox from staying home everyday due to Covid. I’m very happy and definitely recommend it!

The first thing you can recognize is that the staffs are so kind. The second is that they know exactly what resolves my health problem. I initially visited this place for my back pain. After a few sessions from Dr. Cho with acupuncture and cupping I was feeling a lot of relief. I also completed a detox program and I am very satisfied with my results. I give them an A+.

I have been coming in to see Dr. Cho for over a year now and it's been absolutely amazing. I was experiencing pain in both my knees due to running outside and it was difficult to walk. I underwent acupuncture treatment for about 3 months. I saw immediate improvement in my knees. I started doing moderate exercises and now I am able to do much more. Big thanks to Dr. Cho and the rest of the staff. They are all very helpful and professional.

5/5 Recommend! Extremely satisfied with the service here. Clean clinic, friendly and professional staff, and excellent treatment! I’ve been having back problems for a few years but Dr. Cho’s acupuncture treatment and his recommendation for a detox program really helped me cleanse my body and shed a few pounds, which helped me with the back pain also. Very knowledgeable and caring!
