Dunamis Acupuncture & Herb Clinic

Very knowledgable caring couple who works very hard to help with the service they provide at an affordable price. I went to Katie 2012 – 2013 while doing natural/​mini IVF with Life IVF. I worked in Anaheim at the time and Dunamis made it very convenient for me to get acupuncture during this very trying time in my life. Katie was always very genuinely interested in how I was doing. I’m so thankful the Katie and Life IVF for my now 2 year old daughter!

A long, overdue update to my original review. I first came to Dunamis Acupuncture because of my painful shoulder. While getting treatment for my shoulder, I was also treated for stress and to bring balance into my life. I received consistent treatment while I was working a very stressful job and during the loss of my father; the treatment I received definitely helped and the weekly hourlong sessions were a great meditative escape.
A few years ago, my husband and I experienced a setback in our family planning and I turned to Dunamis Acupuncture. In additional to receiving treatment for the resulting stress and emotional distress, I started fertility treatment which consisted of tea and acupuncture. The tea regimen is pricey but a small price to pay for peace of mind & body and for a healthy pregnancy. I remember the day that Katie checked my pulse and perked up a bit, she didn’t say anything to me at the time (probably because she was nervous and it was pretty early on in the fertility treatment) but I went home that evening and had a positive home pregnancy test. I continued to receive treatment throughout my first trimester and the treatment did help with morning sickness.
I received a call from Katie after my due date to follow up on the delivery of my baby. Katie and Sejin are warm, hardworking and compassionate to whatever your needs are. Pregnancy and family planning are very personal events and decisions in ones life and I feel happy and blessed to have had Dunamis Acupuncture play a hand in this part of my life.

Katie and Senjin are the best! They are the sweetest, hardest working couple who really care about their trade. I came to see them shortly after my first miscarriage. Katie treated me with herbs and acupuncture first to help me rebuild my system and to help with my chronic headaches. I continued with acupuncture only and was pregnant again within 5 months but unfortunately lost that one as well. The next month I got pregnant for the third time and it stuck!!! Katie and Senjin continued to treat me thru my first trimester and I am now a proud mother of a healthy baby girl! Much love to Dunamis for all their love and support in my efforts to conceive!

I’ve been coming to Dunamis since July and I look forward each time I have an appointment. Dr. Kim and Dr. Lee are very nice and knowledgeable. They make you feel welcomed every time a client visits. I always feel relaxed after my acupuncture appointment. I came here because I read their reviews on Unilocal,on their website, they specialize in infertility, and many women have become pregnant through acupuncture. I’ve yet to become pregnant, but it’s ok. They’re both such great people that I will continue having my acupuncture with them. One day I hope to become pregnant again. I highly recommend Dr. Kim and Dr. Lee for anybody who are in pain, stressed, etc.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. I began seeing Dr. Katie Kim after struggling to get pregnant for a year. I began seeing her and initially purchased a package deal that made the weekly sessions affordable. While going there, I looked forward to my sessions each week because it was so relaxing and I would leave feeling so refreshed and calm. Once I finished the last of the package, (i think I bought 10 sessions in the package) I was already pregnant. Dr. Kim recommend I continue through my first trimester and I wish I had, but I decided to stop because of my schedule. Dr. Kim was very knowledgeable and professional. She made me feel comfortable knowing that I had never done acupuncture before. Now I am a believer and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Katie Kim. Thank you very much for helping make our dreams come true! We will welcome our first baby (boy) this May!

Dunamis Acupuncture clinic is awesome! I’ve been coming here to see Dr Kim (Katie) for almost a year now. She helped me successfully get through my mini IVF’s (egg retrieval only) and was so supportive the entire time. She is an amazing doctor who is kind, caring and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed coming to all of my appointments. During my ivf cycles, I took the fresh Chinese herbal tea that she made and it really helped me with embryo quality. When I stopped taking it, the embryo quality declined. At the end of the cycles, I got 3 good embryos that passed PGS. Certainly a milestone for me. I guess my body responded better to the fresh liquid form than powder/​capsule. Dr Kim and her husband are such nice people. Highly recommended!

I found this place on Unilocal.I have been going through a lot of health problems this year. Coming here for acupuncture has been the best thing I could have done. I feel wonderful every time I go. Thank you for making me feel better. Highly recommended!

I love this place! I started seeing Katie a few weeks before my IVF procedure. And then continued to see up to 14 weeks of my pregnancy. They were always on time, asking how I was doing and all with a smile. They have a great deal if you buy multiple sessions all at once. If you plan on using them for your first trimester it works out perfectly. I will definitely be back for all my other pregnancy. THANKS Dunamis! :)

Dr. Katie and Sejin are the best doctors I know. Not only are they one of the kindest people alive, their treatments are right on. I worked with them for various symptoms I’ve faced and I highly recommend them.

They are easy to work with.

After 2 years of trying to conceive and my 1^st failed cycle on fertility drugs I decided to try acupuncture. I found Dunamis on Unilocal and it lived up to the reviews. I did 3 months of treatments with Katie and the 4^th month I was pregnant. In October 2014 I had a beautiful baby boy. Katie always made me feel relaxed and comfortable with my treatments. If you were considering giving acupuncture a try this is the place to do it.

I decided to seek out a fertility acupuncturist after trying for our first for several months. I had used acupuncture in the past for other ailments and knew the potential it had. Upon finding Dunamis, and checking their credentials, I made an appointment. Dr. Katie and Dr. Sejin were both incredible. Katie really took the time to explain how the different placement points help the system. During my second month, Katie was out briefly for her own maternity leave, and in that time, Sejin overtook my treatments and he was great as well. My first month, I only used the acupuncture as my husband was skeptical of the herbal teas due to the high cost of them. The second month, I was able to convince him to let me give them a try. I was thrilled when at the end of that month we learned we were expecting. Katie and Sejin seemed to truly express their joy at the news as well. I continued treatments with Katie through my 1^st trimester, to help in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. I am now almost 21 weeks. I feel very thankful for entrusting my care at Dunamis Acupuncture. Both Katie and Sejin are well-​trained and highly skilled. I always left my treatments feeling very relaxed.

Katie has got to be the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. Both her and her husband run the clinic and you will always be greeted with a smile on their faces. Katie always made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed. She was also very accomodating to my schedule for the 5 weeks I’ve been seeing her twice a week. I’m from out of town and when I left she gave me a big hug and told me she’d miss me and to keep her posted on how things are going. Made me feel like family! *tear* I will miss Katie too!

I went to see Katie to get my cycle back on track after an ectopic pregnancy. I had lots of spotting and with brownish color. Long story short, I got pregnant after about 10 visits. I went on a weekly basis and my cycle was back on track with no lengthy spotting and brownish color. I believe acupuncture really helped me expedite my healing process from the ectopic pregnancy and made it easier for my husband and I to conceive with one Fallopian tube left. My friends were so impressed with my progress that two of my friends went to see Katie and the BOTH got pregnant as well. One of my friends has pcos and the other one was trying to conceive for a while and couldn’t.
But here are some of the things you should know about… Katie tends to rush and she doesn’t like to tell you your progress which got me upset one time. She’s not very accommodating to your schedule but I stuck it out because of the help reviews and she did her magic. If you are looking for results then you may have to over look the other stuffs. So 3 out of 3 saw results within 3 months for fertility issues I think that was a home run.

First time doing acupuncture yesterday and loved it. I’m going back for more sessions. service was great, very nice couple. I was scared at first but it was very relaxing!

Had a great experience on my first visit and experienced pain relief and a wonderful sense of well-​being for about a week afterwards. Now I have arranged to get my insurance plan to cover acupuncture, and am looking forward to going back to Dunamis every week as long as it’s needed.
I am middle-​aged and have multiple issues and two cervical fusion surgeries later, so I need all the help I can get :)
Overall I found the experience to be great, the couple providing service to be knowledgeable and easy to understand, and the office to be clean and relaxing. I definitely can recommend this office!
Allow extra time to find this office as it is well-​hidden in a quiet corner of the complex.

I began treatment last week for sciatic nerve pain. I have had no more pain! I am coming back for my lower back pain and can’t wait to be pain free!

I tried this clinic due to the high Unilocal reviews and their Unilocal Deal. Well worth it!
A very nice husband and wife team run this small clinic. Both doctors. Clean, quiet & comfortable. I find Dr. Kim knowledgeable, eager to help and caring. Good listener.
Plenty of street parking, as well as parking next door.
Very fair prices and it’s easy to make an appointment. Overall I’m very happy and have been a regular patient for a few weeks now.

Today was my first treatment. They were professional friendly and knowledgeable. My second appoint is next week. Evening appointments are tough to get but they accommodated me. I feel asleep during the session and woke up feeling like I had a full body massage. I highly recommend!

I’ve had nothing but great service from Katie & Sejin.
Very professional & clean work environment. $ 50 per acupuncture session that lasts 1 hr.
I decided to try acupuncture after 2.5 years of infertility. I was diagnosed with PCOS & was not ovulating regularly. Prior to acupuncture I was on months of clomid, estrogen & progesterone meds. Husband & I tried natural supplements, had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, bought expensive fertility monitors, & had 2 failed IUIs. The emotional roller coaster was really taking its toll in addition to the amount of money we were spending. After our 2^nd IUI we decided to take a break for a month before trying something new.
I started seeing Katie in mid-​November last year. She really took her time in taking my history & brewed a tea of Chinese herbs specifically for me. The tea comes in individual packets. I was instructed to take 3 packets per day until it was finished for about 3 weeks. She told me not to try to conceive with this first round of tea since it was meant to cleanse & prep my body to become more fertile. The tea wasn’t the best tasting but I found it easier to take by sticking a straw into the packet & drinking it quickly & chasing it with juice.
After my period from the first set of tea I started the second set of tea packets in Jan & was told to monitor my ovulation & try to conceive that month. I didn’t think it would happen with this first try but we found out we were pregnant in Feb. Amazing! I am now 22 weeks pregnant with our boy & Dr. says everything looks good. I have so much to be thankful for, especially to Katie. I continue to go to Katie once a week & after this week I’ll go once a month.
I recommend anyone struggling with infertility to try them out. I truly believe the treatments relaxed me & helped relieve my stress. I didn’t come in with big expectations for it to happen right away. I was blessed to find this place & hope this review will help others too.
