Acupuncture Center of Kansas City

I’ve been coming to the Acupuncture Center for years for virtually all my ailments. Both of the Chinese medicine doctors are very knowledgeable and have a terrific bedside manner. They even hold seminars that are free to the public.
Love this place!

I have been to two other acupuncture practices in the area over the last couple years for the same lower back problem.
I made my appointment online, very easily. The office manager was very nice and friendly. I entered from the back of the building into the office building but that entrance is locked and they don’t use it. They have an exterior entrance on the north west side of the building — use that.
The décor is serene and there is Zen/​yoga music playing in the background.
I was really impressed with how the consultation went — Dr Yoo listened to my issue and was patient as I explained all of my previous treatments. He asked questions and really took his time. He then explained a treatment plan for me.
I decided to do my first treatment while there instead of scheduling out. Before he started, he did a thorough ortho exam – he’s a trained Chiropractor too but doesn’t practice anymore.
After so many years of pain, I didn’t believe him when he said it would take 1 to 3 treatments only. But I think he’s right. I woke up for the first time in 6 years without the pain. I’m going for another treatment to ensure complete therapy but I’m really impressed.
Overall, you’ll need to be patient. I think he sees several patients at once which is the same experience I’ve had at two other acupuncturists. But he listens, is friendly and he knows what he’s doing. The staff is friendly and I found the place to be clean and comfortable.

Dr. Jolie Crow is amazing. Forget massage therapy and see her for acupuncture.

Pros:
Free consultation is plus. Staff is friendly. Acupuncturist is good and professional and I was heard and he asked me not to pay when I complained about unnecessary long wait time.
Cons:
There can be better control on schedule/​calender. For 1 hr acupuncture it took almost 3 hours. I was not able to handle rest of my day’s schedule. Rooms are smaller and can be cleaner.
Will go back if they excercise better time management.
