Jaseng Center Alternative Medicine

No. Just no.
The acupuncturist here literally forced me to buy hundreds of dollars of worth of oriental medicine and would try to pressure me in to coming back even though I was telling her I was seeing 0 improvement.
So unprofessional.

Well, they fixed my back.
As anyone who’s suffered from back pain knows, it’s basically a life-​ruiner. You just can’t function at all.
After a bad car accident in 2010, I’ve had back problems. I’ve been to many chiropractors and acupuncture clinics hoping to find help, and Jaseng is easily the best one.
I’ve also had BAD acupuncture before, which can seriously mess up your whole body. OMG, that’s the worst. Ha ha, anyway, Jaseng knows what they’re doing. I recommend them to everyone I know who has health problems who can benefit from alternative medicine. They always thank me later.
(Oh, and everyone should straighten their back all the time. If you are reading this right now at your computer/​phone — hey, straighten your back! Good posture is 75% of the battle. You’re welcome.)

inexperienced. no ethics. quality care nowhere to be found.

I realized, after getting into an accident and searching for doctors that it is challenging to find a doctor who is honest and competent (and has easy, hassle free parking!).
I’ve called just about all the chiropractors/​acunpuncturist in Ktown and was just about to quit when my good friend who works with various doctors in Koreatown recommended Jaseng.
For those of you who received acunpuncture treatments in the past will quickly realize that Jaseng is not your typical acunpuncture place. Although there isn’t any dim lights or soothing background music like I’m used to, those are all secondary. The importance is the effectiveness. Jaseng method is completely different and EFFECTIVE! (Chiro is not that different from other places: electrical muscle stimulation, cold laser, TENS, adjustments.) If you can’t afford both chiro and acu at Jaseng, I would recommend that you try acupuncture. Then you’ll will know what I am talking about!
They were also completely fine about me paying out of my pocket and billing insurance company myself. They gave me cash rate and told me that they’ll have medical record I can submit to the insurance company. They are not one of those chiropractors who try to make money off of car insurance cases. You won’t be taking unecessary xrays nor paying ridiculously exorbitant initial consulting fee.
Go and try for yourself!
You’ll thank me (:

If you do decide to come here MAKE SURE that you record them saying they will apply the deductible to your insurance. And make sure to get this before your treatment. They will trick you into working on your bill during the treatment and after it is over your get charged a ridiculous amount. Even after paying the bill the Korean lady in the front desk said to me that all of the payments made will be made towards your insurance’s deductible. When I called my insurance the next week they told me that only a small percentage of that bill was actually claimed. I called them to see if they would reimburse me or give me some kind of an explanation and the best they could say was that they have a different «billing schedule» than the insurance company and that they apologize for the misinformation from the lady in the front. If you are reading this, then know that I have no problem working with people who have a language barrier, but at least have the decency to fix a misunderstanding from your end. Or if that’s not the case than just stop lying to your customers to get extra money.
The treatments overall lasted for about 1 hour for both acupuncture and chiropractor. Not worth the large sum of money i payed. They’re best way of making up for their lying or misunderstanding (whichever it may be) is saying that the next time i come back I wont have to pay for anything. Yea no thanks! Frankly i don’t trust thieves or liars putting needles down my back.

A few weeks ago, I injured myself so badly, I could hardly stand up straight without excruciating pain. I have Scoliosis and have a Herrington rod in my back so I am often skeptical of who I allow to treat me. I came in bent over like an 80 year old lady and by the time I left, with the acupuncture treatment from Dr. Park, as well as the physical therapy (ultrasound), treatment from Dr. Shin, I could at least stand up almost straight. On a scale of 1 – 10, when I arrived at the office, the pain was a 10, and by the time I left, it was a 7. I have been receiving treatments, twice a week, and with every session, the pain is less severe. After one month, I am proud to say, I have no pain. I love these methods much more than traditional Western practices, mainly because, they tend to just mask the pain by prescribing strong Opioids such as oxycodone, tramadol, etc,. Not only did Dr. Park treat my lower back pain, a couple of times I’d come in with a headache, mainly from the stress of worrying about my back, she’d treat me and by the time the session was over, 15 – 20 minutes or so, my headache was completely gone. The other wonderful thing about this office, the Los Angeles office (Olympic), is I’ve rarely had to wait more than 5 minutes (if that), that’s really important if you’re uncomfortable and in pain. Lastly, Dr. Park is so kind, genuinely courteous, and quite understanding of my issues, she not only helped with the immediate pain, she is also concerned with my future wellbeing and progress, that’s rare to find. Even though my pain has subsided for now, I still see her once a week for continued treatments.

A few months ago, I began receiving weekly acupuncture treatments at the Jaseng Center for a variety of issues ranging from shoulder and lower back pain to chronic migraines. My experience has been very positive. Dr. Park is knowledgeable, professional and kind. I appreciate the way she always takes time to explain procedures and answer all my questions. I would highly recommend the Jaseng Center to anyone looking for a good acupuncturist.

Not good. expensive for treatment. This place combines chiropractic and oriental medicine/​acupuncture to maximize the results. However, it is not simply worth it. I only recommend the chiropractic and nothing further. do not get anything else. not worth it. they make you think that it’s worth it with all their expensive equipments but acupuncturist does not know what she is doing. should practice more. not confident. waste of money.

I am so lucky to know Dr. O.J. Park who is the charge of the Los Angeles branch office. She was councelling me for several times and she convinced me and made me understand the concept of the herbal diet and her special program. The losing weight is not because of such a miracle madicine or special injection thing which we can find easily from TV commercial. I also learned that it takes time and also need the trust of the treatment and following her direction. She was very patient and explained me one by one until I understand.
Again, I do really appreciate to her efforts and her professionaism.

I’ve had back problems since 2008. I have tried everything from everyone and this is the first time I have seen drastic improvement. I can actually wake up and smile from no back pain!
Dr.Shin (the chiropractor) is an absolute sweetheart and genuinely cares about your progress. He tries to stay within your budget and takes the time to explain his exercises. Of all the doctors I’ve seen, he was the first one to let me know that i had an extra vertebrae. Uh… that’s pretty important. Thanks for nothing Texas doctors! If I could have a second dad, I would choose him. Is that weird? …
Dr.Lee (the new acupuncturist) took the time to explain what was going on with my back via my MRI results on his computer which was comforting considering my previous doctors each read my diagnosis from a piece of paper. Dr. Lee also prescribes herbs that are extremely effective– I no longer have to pop a pain pill every night that slowly kills my internal organs.
I will be forever be indebted to the doctors and staff here. The receptionists are also amazing– intellectual and friendly which is so refreshing in LA. Thanks Jaseng. Ya’ll know how to do it right.

Love this place! Bought a voucher online for a package, and figured, close to home, so lets try it! Perfect for my bad back– I suffer from sciatica for many years, and my pilates instructor suggested I also try acupuncture! I was very hesitant, until I received this great online offer. After my first visit with Dr. Park, I was convinced that this is what will help me. I have been now going to Dr. Park since January, and she has helped relieve so much of my lower back pain. I really enjoy the cupping that she does after the acupuncture treatment. It doesn’t hurt much, and almost feels like a «good pain” – can’t describe it. Great place, clean, professional and delicate to the touch. If anyone suffers from lower back pain, they should definitely try it a few times. You will feel a difference!

I lost weight with Dr. OnJung Park 20lbs 8weeks. I went Jaseng Clinic once a weeks, check inbody, which shows detail of my body, and taking herbal medicine. I struggled with lose weght all my life, but I failed every time. Dr. Park taught me many knowledge of health diet. She is really nice and make me have a confidence of shape. I think Jaseng M Diet program is most healthy, patients centered and prevent yo-​yo phenomenon. I strongly recommend Jaseng clinic, if someone want lose weight.

I would like to commend the services offered at Jaseng Alternative Medical Center without the slightest of hesitations. For over a year I had been battling a severe case of herniated neck disc using western medicine which included pumping me with steroids and ingesting a cocktail of pain killers to no avail. In 2010 I decided to look East for alternatives. Jasheng’s tailor made herbal based syrups, acupuncture and prescribed exercises have vastly improved my condition and thus has enabled me to recapture the joy of my life. Thank you Jaseng! I would like to take a moment to single out Dr. Brian Lee (Sanghwa Lee), Dr. Eunsik Shin and Dr. Jung for their dedication and personal care they have shown to me.

I will definitely be returning to this clinic. It’s a very clean, well laid out facility. The doctor I saw for acupuncture was very patient and took a lot of time with me to assess what my needs were. I’ve had acupuncture before, but found this doctor to be much more thorough in explaining what I could expect, what he was going to do, and why. I was comfortable the whole time. The clinic is located on the 5^th floor of a medical building. Parking is in the structure to the left of the building if you are facing the building from Olympic. I would recommend this clinic to first time acupuncture clients especially, because of the extra time they will take with you.

I have been going here twice a week for past few weeks and its been great. I have a neck disc issue from working on my computer all day which causes my thumb to go numb and causes shoulder pains so I decided to check this place out. The staff are really friendly and I feel good leaving this place both mind and body. Jaseng’s herbal medicine is packaged great for easy to carry with you and to drink and the decompression machine is awesome for my neck. The chiropractor thoroughly explains what they are doing and what my issues are which is nice.
Acupuncture is great as I get 2 treatments: one with motion and regular. With motion acupuncture, the doctor exercise my neck in order to increase my flexibility and strengthen my neck which I can really feel the different after few sessions.
Usually I am very relaxed afterward so I highly recommend those who work from home on their computer all day to avoid neck/​back issues which may cause further issues.
