patient testimonials

I’ve taken herbal medicine since I have had some trouble with my skin. It’s getting so much better now! I’m so happy with it.

Even though the medicine is a little bit bitter, it’s SO worth it!

I really recommend people who have allergies or acne to take the herbal medicine. Never regret it!!! ;)

I was so impressed with their kindness first of all. Usually, doctors are supposed to be busy; they give advice to patients and disappear quickly.

However, they seem like they really care about me. I needed positive mind and it just appeared when I got out of the office. :) Also, after taking herbal medicine, I feel really good. I used to be tired all day long, but now I am more energetic.

I have been to Dr. Kim for several acupuncture treatments now and I am extremely happy and satisfied with the results. I felt remarkably better after my first treatment and have enjoyed the after effects of restful sleep and overall increase of sense in well-being.

Dr. Kim is an accomplished and sensitive acupuncturist. She knew exactly how to treat my concerns and condition. Not only does she treat the problem you may have originally come to her for, but she cares about you as a person and is very empathetic. She always ask how I am doing throughout the procedure, which only helps to make me more comfortable and calm.

Approximately seven years ago I sustained what appeared to be a pinched nerve injury in my shoulder. Coworkers of mine recommended that I try acupuncture to treat the recurring problem and pain. I was very nervous about it, because I have always been very afraid of needles.

Although I was hesitant and fearful, Dr. Kim was very patient, understanding and kind. She is very easy to talk to and is genuinely concerned about your well-being in all aspects of your life.

In addition, she always goes the extra mile to ensure your session is pleasant and effective. Because of this, I have continued being her patient for all these years and would recommend her top notch services to anyone.

Over the past ten years or more, I have suffered from severe migraine headaches as well as a bulging disc in my lower spine and have now developed peripheral neuropathy which has severely affected my lower limbs.

I cannot tell you what a wonderful experience it has been and how helpful Dr. Kim has been to me in all areas. Even my Hematologist, who is the Director of Leukemia at a famous New York hospital encourages me to go to her.

Linda L.

After just a few sessions, I felt so much better. I was relieved of my sleepless, tossing and turning nights due to hot flashes and menopause. I was amazed at how much she could tell about my health and well being from just looking at me.

My own medical doctor who I have been seeing for years has never shared this information with me. I have been to other acupuncturists, but have never been treated so well.

Whenever I have pains on my back and shoulder, I visit this clinic. I have been to another acupuncture clinic in NYC, but the feeling after getting acupuncture was quite different and disappointing compared to this place.

Since then, I have been coming to this clinic despite the long distance. My wife and I took their herbal medicine twice, those worked very well to us. They don’t force their treatments to patients. When I was suffering from severe coughing, Dr. Jin suggested me to go to regular clinics for faster recovery.

I had a car accident unexpectedly. When I took X-rays, there were no bone fractures. However, I had serious neck, lower back, and knee pains. Moreover, I had really bad bruises on my both legs and every night I had to put on ice packs for my swelling leg and had sleeping problems.

Before I found this clinic, I went to see a physical therapist and chiropractor for a month but I did not find any relief from the pain or bruises. However, Mr. Jin’s magical hands helped me gain full recovery from pains, bruises, and sleeping problems.

It is a place I would like to strongly recommend to people who are unable to recover from their illnesses or pains through western medical treatment.

My daughter just turned one when I visited them at first and I had these “unexplained pains” in my body.

At first, I thought my herniated disc and sciatica pains became worse due to child care. However, the pains that I had were a lot different than “my usual pains.” I felt coldness from every joint with aches along with heel pain. They were so bad that I would wake up from sleep and had to take pain medicine.

I took herbal medicine for little over a month and had multiple acupuncture sessions. I was little skeptical about it at first and so was my husband, too. After two months into treatment, I have noticed that all the symptoms that I had disappeared gradually. I was so amazed.

My husband who hates needle so much had an acupuncture treatment for his back pain and took herbal medicine for his horrible flu (this was first time I ever have been seen him this much sick). He became so much better and wouldn’t stop talking about it!!!!

Nayoung S.

I not only benefit from going to acupuncture with Dr. Kim, but actually look forward to it. She is one of the nicest, most caring people I have ever met.

Some people seem to think that you can only go to acupuncture for a serious ailment, but it is really for anyone… I have found it is especially helpful for stress and overall well-being.

Meredith L.

I have been suffering from migraine headaches for fifteen years. I tried many medications, but nothing worked until I met Dr. Kim.

I am happy to say that after getting treatments at Dr. Kim’s office I am finally finding relief through acupuncture treatments.

D. P.

I had shoulder and ankle pain from playing basketball since I was in high school, but it never felt the same when I visited other acupuncture clinics for treatments.

However, after treatments from Mr. Jin, I am completely healed and able to participate in wild activities again. The treatments were very simple but very effective and gradually reduced pain.

In my teenage years, acne has been one of my greatest complexes. I’ve tried from widespread acne-care products such as Proactive and a handful of many others, to expensive laser procedures that costed more than $6-700 a time, but none worked.

Through weeks of taking herbal medication that was customarily hand-made by Mr. and Mrs. Jin and receiving acupuncture, it slowly, yet permanently, changed me into not only acne-free, but a healthier person.

Jacob L.

I am a full-time musician, teacher and all around active person. I work out every day and started to have problems with my right shoulder which caused me to have pain after exercising and left me unable to sleep comfortable at night.

After treatment from Mr. Jin, my mobility and strength has increased and the pain has decreased. I can sleep all night without waking up to switch positions.

I look forward to my acupuncture appointments. They are relaxing and comfortable. It’s not scary at all!

Dave C.

I am extremely grateful to both Doctor Jin and Doctor Kim for what they have done for my lower back. I came to them about 10 years ago with severe lower back pain, so bad that I could not get out of bed in the mornings. They had my situation taken care of in a matter of weeks. Amazing! Don’t know how to thank them enough.

Previous to going to Acupuncture & Herb Clinic, I have visited chiropractors and physical therapists for about 10 years… What a waste of valuable time… Not only did I lose time and money, but chiropractors and physical therapists made my condition worse. Believe me, I was patient, I had to be… I needed to be as healthy as possible, I was only in my mid 20′s.

I had visited Dr. Kim a few months ago when I had developed a sudden asthma during my pregnancy.

I had a couple of sessions with her after which I definitely saw an improvement in my breathing troubles. She reassured me that the treatment was useful in treating my asthma as well as safe for my baby.

Rasika T.

I was a wreck. I had been battling with migraines since the age of 12; I had also with been battling with postpartum depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue syndrome.

I could not focus, could not relax, always worried and fearful. I did not find pleasure in anything; I could barely play with my children. I felt uptight and nervous all the time.

I am a nurse and had difficulty managing stress at work and could not talk in meetings due to lack of confidence.

After just a few visits I felt total relief from my migraines. I have been migraine free and after visiting Dr. Kim I feel as though I am a different person, I can enjoy life and feel normal again.

I am now headed on a vacation and I haven’t felt better. This feeling of overall well-being and relaxation is powerful.

I have also been able to return to school to complete my BSN with the help of Dr. Kim and her acupuncture I have a 95% average this semester.

Janet S.

I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Kim since October 2011 for a herniated disc. I was feeling numbness in my legs, I went to several doctors and they recommended an MRI. The diagnosis was a herniated disc, which was causing the numbness. The treatment would have been injections in my spine.

However, I was so fortunate that a colleague heard my story and recommended Dr. Kim’s practice of Acupuncture & Herb Clinic to me. I visit Dr. Kim twice a week which keeps my body in check and without pain, but I may visit her as often as I feel necessary.

The acupuncture treatments have changed my life. The treatments help with not only back pain but also a variety of illnesses and pain in other areas of the body. I can continue to dance, exercise and complete my everyday activities without pain.

Linda L.

I had surgery a few months ago, which left me with debilitating abdominal pain. After many visits to my surgeon, he could not understand or figure out what the problem was. After many tests which turned up negative, I decided to pursue acupuncture.

Never having tried it before, I was referred to Dr. Kim. In our initial meeting, she spent much time with me in understanding my current health condition, my surgery and what may be causing my pain. I immediately starting seeing Dr. Kim three times a week for several months. With every visit, I started to feel better and better.

Maggie G.

I limped into Acupuncture & Herb Clinic 6 weeks ago with back pain from a bulging disc. This pain went on for the last 14 months of my life and no doctor or physical therapist has been able to help me.

I was at the point of giving in and accepting back pain was going to be a part of my everyday life and prevent me from having an active lifestyle.

After 6 weeks of sessions with Kim I am almost totally out of pain. For the first time in 14 months I can sleep on my back without pain and mostly walk without having a back spasm.

Ann A.

Dr. Kim has given me a program of acupuncture and herbal supplement that provide my body the opportunity to rejuvenate itself quickly and efficiently.

I have come to Dr. Kim with plenty of chronic knee and back ailments in the past. She has a great understanding of what is required in the short and long term to ensure my body and energy are correct.

While Dr. Kim is not my first experience with acupuncture, she is the first to make me feel so confident with the instant results that I feel after every session.

Derick S.

I was dealing with serious neck, shoulder and back aches.

After just 3 sessions I feel a significant difference in my neck and shoulder area as well as an overall change in my mood and energy.

Natasha S.

Dr. Kim and her practice have successfully helped me with many issues I have had — Bell’s Palsy, Infertility, Stress, Weight Loss, Sinusitis, and the common colds.

When conventional doctors said that I would not be healthy unless I utilized their methods of treatment, Dr. Kim was sure to prove them wrong.

Andrea D.

After not getting relief from my migraines through western medicine, I found Dr. Kim at Acupuncture & Herb Clinic. After only a few sessions I am migraine free.

I have been a lot less stressed overall, never felt better!

Jennifer J.

I’ve been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, and she helped me with the treatments.

I also tried to get pregnant, which she also helped me with. During pregnancy as well!

After delivery she was helping me with recovery. I had terrible body pain and baby blue syndrome.

Yustitia S.

I have already seen a physician, a rheumatologist, a hand specialist and an orthopedist over the last year and three months and I have had plenty of blood work done that showed nothing. I even had a surgery on one of my fingers and it did not help.

Dr. Kim was able to reduce inflammation in my fingers. She was able to alleviate pain in my hands so I can accomplish everyday tasks easier and better than before.

She also helped me to get back range of motion in my fingers which was limited due to my hand problems.

Larisa L.

I began taking the herbal teas and acupuncture treatments.

In 2 months of treatment, I had lost 15 pounds and to my delight got pregnant. I have since then had my little bundle of joy and began treatment again to lose the baby weight and make my body strong and healthy again as I wish to have another try at having a baby.

I would recommend the herbal teas and acupuncture treatments as they have proven beneficial to me for weight loss and a positive pregnancy.

Daisy D.

I have been drinking her herb tea to help me to get pregnant.

She is also treating me for anxiety and allergy problems. I haven’t taken any allergy pills since I have been seeing her. I feel I have a lot more energy and in general I just feel a lot better.

I feel completely at ease receiving acupuncture treatment from her. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim.

Nagy T.

I was having various problems with my skin, darkening on my face, dry and flaky skin on my legs, acne flare-ups and had very little energy at the end of the day.

Through acupuncture, I now have well hydrated skin, the darkening and acne is gone, I’ve gotten my energy back and I have Mrs. Jin to thank for all of it.
