JJ Kim Acupuncture Clinic

I am so glad to have found Dr. Kim! Actually, I found her a year ago, but didn’t receive any treatment from her due to my own personal financial issues. But our first consultation was so positive that I kept her in mind, knowing I have someone to go to when I am ill.
A year later, I came to see her for insomnia. I had trouble sleeping for a good two weeks due to stress from work and I guess, life in general. And just like our first consultation, a year ago, she took the time to listen to my issues, provided great advice to help me reduce stress, and gave me acupuncture treatment. Every time I go see Dr. Kim, I feel like I’m going to see a friend who has the ability to heal instead of another doctor who’s impartial to your well-​being. You can tell Dr. Kim really cares about your health and does everything she can to help you even if you are on a budget. She is definitely not one of those doctors who pushes treatment on you to make more money.
I also have to thank Dr. Kim for going out of her way to accomodate my schedule so that my appointment times work out for me. Most doctors simply won’t do that because they really don’t care about your time.
And I have to thank Dr. Kim for encouraging me to lose weight. She showed me that losing bodyfat is more important than losing overall weight. Within the 5 weeks that I received treatment from her I lost 2lbs of body fat and gained 3lbs of muscle but my overall weight did not change. If I was only looking at my overall weight on the scale I would have been totally discouraged. But luckily, I have Dr. Kim here to show me that I am making progress.
Even though my treatment has ended, I know that I have a trusted doctor and friend that I can go to if I ever become ill. But at our last treatment, Dr. Kim said that she would rather not see me again because that would mean that I am healthy and not sick. Lol! She’s so awesome! Most doctors would probably be thinking: «I hope you stay ill for the rest of your life so you can keep coming back.» But not Dr. Kim. She seriously wants you to be healthy and happy.
If you need help due to some medical issue, I encourage you to go to Dr. Kim. Why would you go to other doctors who look at you like a walking money sign instead of a human being? You won’t regret seeing her.

I love dr Kim! She has helped me so much with so many issues. She is amazing. I am a lifelong customer. Whatever is ailing me I’d rather come to her first before my regular doctor.

I’m not sure how Dr. Kim doesn’t have more reviews… she does such great work. She is really engaged in making her patients feel better — really goes above and beyond. Very well trained, accommodating and so sweet. As K.A. said, great bedside manner. I had a lot of pain — knots all over my body, and really stressed out. After about 15 sessions (which considering my starting condition, didn’t seem like long), I was completely better. I recently moved out of the area, but I wish I was still close so I could come in to maintain the results.
RD referenced parking trouble. I always went late mornings on a Saturday and never had an issue. And the herbs were not bad at all.

Dr. Kim was knowledgeable with a great bedside manner. She really took her time explaining acupuncture, its basic concepts, and what it can and can’t do. My mother, who can be very difficult, liked her very much and enjoyed her treatment. Also, Dr. Kim is very honest. After the initial consultation and first treatment, she told my mom she was in great health and didn’t have to come back unless she wanted to. I highly recommend her services. The office and environs are clean and pleasant.

I had a fantastic experience here. The doctor is extremely knowledgable and caring. In one visit, I felt significantly better, after suffering with unbearable back pain. Her office is clean and relaxing too. Trust me… you’ll feel better after going here.

Dr. Kim is AMAZING. As soon as you meet you will feel her positive calm energy. She is a wealth of knowledge for any question you may have. She can read your body and treat you in a very gentle way. If you require herbal medicine, don’t worry. Just swig it down like she shows you & chase with cold water.

This is my first experience with acupuncture, and I must say it has been a very good one. After my friend recommended Dr. JJ Kim to me, I went to see her for my acne. She has helped me so much more in the last 3 months than any other doctors I have visited before.
My treatment consists of acupuncture (painless) and herbal medicine (not a great taste). She is very kind, patient, and really takes a look at you as an individual.
Her goal is to heal you! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to heal any problem.

PROs:
Always friendly and happy (this is where the healing starts)
Modern waiting room
Clean
CONs:
Chinese herbal medicine taste (lol)
Parking was hard to find at first, its in the back off of Mountain View Pl.
I started acupuncture therapy with Dr. JJ Kim a few years back when she was at a different clinic close to my gym. I went in feeling bloated, sleepless, depressed, stressed, angry, irritable, my digestion was off, and my skin was pretty bad with acne… oh yes, I was a mess.
At that time I was on a thyroid medication that made me feel completely disconnected from my own body. I couldn’t imagine continuing this medication for life, I didn’t have medical coverage and the unpleasant side effects were getting worse. Why would I continue to live a life like this?
I tried for years to find a way to get my body back into the rhythm it once had. From endocrine specialist to hormone replacement specialist, it simply wasn’t working, Dr. JJ KIm was my last hope. I told myself «If this doesn’t work I’m giving up». This was my last straw, and I felt pretty hopeless.
The first thing I noticed about Dr. JJ Kim’s approach was how personal it all felt. She took all of my lab work, medical + prescription history, and looked at my body as a whole. She said to me «You have to trust me… healing is 99% trust.» I did just that. From there she formulated herbal medications specifically for my issues. I will be honest, the taste was unpleasant… but the results were amazing!!! I cannot say enough about the herbal medication. Slowly this liquid «gold» got me back to myself. I was on the therapy for several months. I wish I had found her earlier. I’m just glad God allowed me to cross paths with a true healer.
I have since introduced my mom and my sister to Dr. JJ Kim. Their results have been fantastic. Words cannot describe the respect I have for Dr. JJ Kim. Her impact on our health is the main reason I try to spread the word about her. And now that she has her own clinic I am glad to spread the word here on Unilocal
