Evergreen Acupuncture & Wellness Center

Worse acupuncture experience of my life and I have been getting acupuncture since I was 8 years old. First of all I don’t feel that the technician listened to me about my current condition. Rather she just kept pushing me to purchase more sessions before I ever got the treatment.
Secondly they talked way too much. Especially since I’m a seasoned acupuncture patient.
Thirdly the treatment was terrible they made me bleed and needles fell out halfway through the treatment and on top of that the treatment was much shorter than it is typically with my acupuncture specialist in Hawaii and berkeley.
I would never in 100 years recommend this clinic.
Lastly my symptoms got worse after this treatment. Where out of the near 65 treatments I’ve gotten I have always improved my condition that I came to eastern medicine for.
I never make these types of Unilocal

I had the best experience at Evergreen! Dr. Kim took ample time to show me around the office, explain her methods of practicing medicine, and examine me from head to toe. She took pictures and pointed out things that I wouldn’t have otherwise been aware of that she could help me fix, such as dark circles around my eyes and evidence of dehydration on my tongue. The acupuncture didn’t hurt at all and the environment was very relaxing and healing. I will definitely be going back for another session. Dr. Kim and the staff are some of the nicest people I’ve encountered in LA and I am pleased that I met them. I feel like they really care about me as a person, and treated me so well. They even had tea ready for me when I was signing in for my visit! I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but this team deserves 5 stars :)

The most unprofessional WITCH DOCTOR i have ever met. She always forget to completely remove all needles. When i started to notice it, i saw some needles on the stairways and ground going to her clinic. I know i am not the only one who experienced it. She is good in sweet talk and «friendship»?? so she will gain your trust and you will pay her very expensive rate. There are so many better clinic and better facility than hers with better rates. She is all into money, same with the other complaints. She wants money for in return of her tiny bitsy needles. A typical business minded who wants to be richer and richer. She told me she can heal anything if i finish the complete session and pay the package upfront. How can she guarantee that when her concern is to collect payment. She thinks she is god of money. Dont waste your time most of all your money in this kind of service. Thrash. Go to a real doctor and put your trust in God.

I like the system they use is very good I do recommend to all you that are in pain like me.

Dr. Kim is the best — from her vibrant energy when she greets you when you walk in the door throughout the entire visit she is a great listener and teacher about the process and figuring out together the best path to work together to decrease pain and increase efficiency with your body!

I first started coming to Evergreen Acupuncture & Wellness Center back in June to try to alleviate the tendinitis in my wrist. I was scared of needles, but traditional physical therapy and Aleve just weren’t cutting it anymore. From the get go, I could tell that Dr. Joan is very dedicated to her patients, that she really tries to hear you and help treat you to keep you centered and healthy. I don’t even think about my tendinitis anymore, and Dr. Joan has helped me with my sleep schedule and energy as well! I feel less stressed and more in-​tune with my day-​to-​day life.
Evergreen is clean, welcoming, and cute and cozy, tucked away in a small office center in Atwater Village. Parking is usually easy enough in the back lot.
If you’re considering trying acupuncture, this is a GREAT place to try it!

I have been having mystery inflammatory issues for over a year. When I got a flare up last week, I went to see Dr. Joan because she is close to home. She worked wonders on my swollen tongue, and I felt better after just one acupuncture session. So A+ on quality of treatment…
HOWEVER, I got the feeling she was more interested in money than anything else. She asked for payment up front for 4 sessions, and then after the 4^th session and reevaluation, insisted I needed 24 more! It felt like she was guilt-​tripping me into buying this $ 3000 package. Saying that my health is the most important investment and if I want to avoid a serious health decline I have to get treated twice a week and take her special blend of herbs (which she wouldn’t disclose the contents of, and were conveniently sold right there for $ 85). That seemed sketchy to me, and I don’t think I’ll be going back.
Also, I wouldn’t trust all the 5 star reviews. They offer free treatments in exchange for good reviews.

Dr. Kim-​Wagner is amazing! I went in for my Psoriasis a few months ago after I tried every cream, and even others herbs and nothing worked until I met her! My symptoms are almost gone and I feel so much better. She also works on reducing my stress. I just recently did the foot detox and it was great! Toxins are coming out and I am feeling so much better! She is very easy going, considerate, caring and professional. I highly recommend her!!!

I have been going to Dr Kim for over a year now. She is one of the few acupuncturists that I have been to over 12 years where I actually feel the results. I tried to switch to one who takes my insurance but after paying a $ 40 copay anyways and not feeling any different, I decided to go back to Dr. Kim even though I have to pay cash. Her prices may be on the higher end but she does offer packages and as I mentioned, she knows what she is doing. Her bedside manner is also great. I would highly recommend.

I had lower back and knee problem for 5 years. I tried many things to releave my pain and Dr. Kim was able to treats my conditions with a few visit. Her office is very welcoming and tranquil. Dr. Kim really does a great job of explaining the process of acupuncture and educating her patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone that wants to make a change in there life or help their body.

My husband bought me a livingsocial deal for acupuncture facelift and I went yesterday to use it and LOVED IT!
Dr. Joan was just wonderful! She spent at least two hours with me explaining how other areas of the body can be blocked and therefore need to work together to give a fresh look to the face. She advised me to see her four times and then do the face at a later time as my money situation is tight right now I decided I wanted to do the face.
To my surprise she said she would treat my whole body including the face and I am thrilled this morning as I have never slept better! I feel so refreshed this morning and my forehead is much more smooth in between the brow area.
Now I am considering spending the extra money and seeing her again as she really is an amazing doctor.
Her presents is so soothing and her office though a bit far for me was very worth it.
Her office is so nice inside, very clean and peaceful. I typically go to another acupuncturist for sports related stuff but now I think I will continue to go to her.
I highly recommend Dr. Joan Wagner!!!

Unprofessional. I don’t want to go into a long diatribe about what happened, but suffice it to say she did not value my time in the way she valued hers, she failed to listen and ultimately I walked out without getting the treatment. I’ve had acupuncture on and off over the years, and all those experiences have either simply been really pleasant or actually effective. Never have I walked out of an office before.

Joan is the best! She helped my 10yr old son with his sleep patterns and sleep walking. She also gives great facial Accupuncture!

I had the foot detox and it was the most amazing procedure, I had toxins in my body that I had no idea were there! Thanks Dr Kim.

I initially came in to this fantastic clinic for neck pain. Joan Kim-​Wagner was so gracious and caring. She gave me a very thorough evaluation, and we began treatments immediately. After 4 consecutive sessions, I felt a million times better and my neck pain has disappeared. I am now continuing treatments for overall heath, detoxification, and menopausal symptoms. I am so glad I found this great clinic!

I started seeing Joan two years ago after my obgyn suggested acupuncture for endo, cramps and migraines. It’s been amazing! My endo is gone, cramps have lessened considerably, and I haven’t had migraines in over a year (it used to be every couple weeks). I also feel way more balanced, look younger and have even lost weight (20 pounds). My favorite is the acupuncture face lift. Forget Botox — this really works. Don’t expect a spa-​like environment, though. It’s more like a doctor’s office. And you should bring your own music. But Joan and her staff are super nice and accommodating and make you feel well-​taken care of!

Hi All! Just wanted to say what a pleasure it is to go Evergreen Wellness Center!
Joan is an absolute angel! Not only does she explain in detail what acupuncture is and what it does, but she makes you feel like you are part of her family. She is such a sweet kind and amazing healer! I had severe lower back pain last year and I went to Joan, and after several sessions I was feeling much better!
I highly recommend if you are going to try acupuncture, go to Joan! She is affordable and has a very delicate touch. I know you will be happy if you go! and you will be on your way to a super healthy mind, body and soul!

I would like to express that, Joan is amazing! I found Joan on the Internet and I decided to visit for an acupuncture treatment. I have suffered from neck pain, back pain and some water retention. After visiting with Joan I saw immediate results:-) I can now sleep and work for long hours without pain and I have more energy! I now see her regularly for acupuncture treatment and herbal therapy. This régime has become a lifestyle, a preventative care from disease and a time to just unwind after a busy week. I feel so much healthier overall! The benefits of acupuncture and Chinese Herbs are great!

I cannot recommend Joan Kim-​Wagner enough! Within the past year, I moved 4 times, became engaged, moved back to Los Angeles and was seeking work. I was having pain in my sternum and my middle back, as well as heart burn and sleep problems, all stress related. I felt immediate relief after one session with Joan, and am committed now to continuing treatment with her to alleviate my symptoms further AND as preventative maintenance. I am so excited to have found her, and to realize that I do not have to suffer from stress related pain. She also educated me on diet and lifestyle changes to help with stress. I don’t feel like I have to just deal with it!

As a result of a car accident in which I was rear-​ended, I sought care through a local chiropractor. Not getting any relief from daily pain and discomfort, I eventually was advised to seek an orthopedic surgeon. I resorted to acupuncture from Ms. Joan Kim-​Wagner, L. AC, and noticed immediate relief. Through acupuncture, Joan
made me aware that hormones were being stimulated to create dopamine which helps the body naturally relieve pain. After more than 6 months of chiropractic treatments, I did not experience any change in my physical maladies. After just one month of acupuncture treatment, along with her herbal remedies, I am on my way to re-​gaining my full strength and my range of motion. I recommend acupuncture with Joan because I received immediate results with this non-​invasive procedure. Her calm demeanor and nurturing way is a welcome change from the clinical treatment in a conventional doctors office. I recommend Joan Kim-Wagner’s holistic approach.
