Yong S Kim Acupuncture Clinic

This review is for Dr. Choi, not Dr. Kim, because I go to this clinic on the days where Dr. Kim is at his LA location. I found out about this place when my mom came here to get acupuncture for her intense neck and back pain. She received needling, wet-​cupping, incense burning treatment, full body massage and a month’s worth of herbal medicine. Two weeks after she started, she said she was feeling much better, so I decided to try it out for my menstrual issues. The first time I went I was three weeks late. I got poked and a massage. Within an hour of me leaving the door of the clinic my period came out the door too. We’ve been going consistently for the past couple months and feel much better. And my period is regulating itself now, so the treatment is working! It was Dr. Choi and the two masseurs who serviced me and my mom. They are nice and very professional. Dr. Choi is also kind enough to do burning incense treatment for my stress and my mom’s arthritic fingers before we leave at no additional cost. The receptionist doesn’t smile, but she’s still nice. Great place, great service, would recommend to everyone!

I got the facial treatment from Dr. Choi couple of weeks ago. I constantly have irritations on the chin and around the nose. I was very impressed at her professionalism and at the same time humanic care. She is not only took care of my face, also handled stress-​relief by acupressure on the scalp. The room is cozy and clean, and location is great. If you have any issues that would like to be taken care of, just go and see Dr. Choi, she will take care of you.

I received medicinal treatment for my vertigo a couple of months ago from Dr. Choi at the clinic. She asked many questions to be sure of my symptoms then prescribed four days worth of herbal medicine. four day treatment worked wonders! no more vertigo! She helped me with the dizziness so quickly and I am very grateful. I also received a facial from the place and I felt rejuvenated. only one treatment definately showed a difference on my face lift. my face reacts quickly to facial treatments which I bet helped me to see the difference rather quickly. Dr. Choi also offers natural organic beauty soaps. They are AMAZING!!!
I would recommend them to anyone with facial problem or just wishing to have a brighter clean moist skins. Thank you Dr. Choi!

Worst experience ever! They don’t care about you. They just want your money. I went for acupuncture and Skincare. They had three different peop work on my face because things kept coming up and they left me waiting. When I reminded them about giving me acupuncture (bc they forgot) the lady doctor was ride and talked down to me. They burned my face and it was dark red afterwards. When I complained about the service afterwards, they continued to be rude to me. I threw my money at them and left. Never going back and would never recommend this place.

When I first went in to the clinic, I was so offended by the lady at the counter.
She was not smiling to the customers and not helpful at all.
And, from my perspective, Dr. Kim was just average.
I do not think I will go back to this place.

I have been to one of the top acupuncture:)
This is my very first experience with acupuncture
I had several months when i was suffering from back spasm.
I went to 3 days in a week and i tried to acupuncture and moxa also
Dr kim helped my situation significantly
Within a couple weeks my pain was gone
It was so amazing!
Everyone is friendly and kind and most of all very professional.
If u want to find acupuncture clinic this is the best place just to go!

Came to See Dr. Kim based on on a word of mouth recommendation for severe indigestion. First impression was not good. The office receptionist was very cold and unfriendly. I walked in and wasn’t greeted or acknowledged. That was strike one in my book. Met Dr. Kim and he is a man of very few words. He checked my pulse, read over my chart, and asked what the issue was. We proceeded to go to the room where needles were administered. He wanted to put a needle on my foot but I had a extremely bad rash and was rather embarrassed about it. He openly showed his annoyance at my statement and placed the needles elsewhere. Not a single word was uttered during the process. He left to attend to other patients. I can hear him engaging in conversations with the older Korean patients. One thing I dislike about the Korean community is that a lot of the older Koreans look down upon younger people and don’t treat them with respect or equally. His assistant was somewhat nicer and was the one that removed the needles while I can hear him telling other patients what he was going to do step by step. I received pouches of medicine after my treatment but with absolutely no explanation of what it was, what duration I should be taking it, and dosage. I asked Dr. Kim questions and again he showed his annoyance and actually frowned!!! This is my 1^st and last visit with Dr. Young Kim and his clinic. The man and his receptionist need to treat all his patients young and old with respect. I’m sorry for looking young but let me tell you, being almost 40 is not in the same league as being in one’s 20’s. I should have spoken up about his bad demeanor and lack of but didn’t think it would do any good.
Save your money and look for a friendlier and professional dr. that has better bed side manners and seems to care about your well being. FYI, he has a 2^nd location in L.A.

I’ve been coming to this acupuncture for 12 years when Mr. Young Kim had opened in Olympic Blvd in L.A. I had uncountable injuries of joints, neck, lower back several times every years because I worked in law enforcement and I taught hand to hand self-​defense. He always fixed me up real good by only one or two visit depending severity.
He never over charged me or make me come 3 – 5 times for one injuries.
I love the accupunture treatment they give me along with spine realignment and burning insent treatment. I complete recommend for everyone and specially ALL THOSE law enforcement with lower back problem caused by our heavy gun belts weights & equipment positioned ridind the car.
