Testimonials

Dr. Kim has a wonderful practice. His treatments for neck and right arm pain, which kept me waking up, have shown both immediate and long term results.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Kim for his knowledgeable professional caring.

Craig Architect, Santa Monica

When I started seeing Dr. Kim, I was having shoulder and arm pain, within a few weeks the pain was gone!

Dr.Kim performs a through evaluation and listens, the treatments I have received have been based on what was needed at that moment. This is the first time I have tried acupuncture and now I am a believer. Thank you Dr. Kim

Anita RN, Santa Monica

I am 36 years old and have been diagnosed with disc slippage and I was severe pain day an night. I couldn’t stand straight, I couldn’t sit comfortably or hold my children. I would cry myself to sleep at night because it hurt so bad to lay down, and my feet and leg would throb. I had never tried acupuncture.

After treatment I have no pain. It was like I was never I that pain. Every now and then I will get a backache when I’m cleaning house or doing yardwork, but It doesn’t last long. I’ve told everyone I know who is in any type of pain to go to Dr. Kim.

Thank you for giving my life back.

Aimee, Thousand Oaks.

Dr. Kim is a knowledgeable, dedicated and effective practitioner. He has helped me enormously to resolve my low back pain and I am especially grateful for his caring approach.

Nell Schaefer, Brentwood.

I came to see Dr. Kim for the first time about 9 months ago. In my opinion, I was a mess! Dr. Kim calmly listened to the myriad of issues that were afflicting me, and began his work, without any judgement or haste- and without making FEEL like I was a mess!. I had problems with digestion and constipation for the better part of my life. I suffered from mild depression, fatigue, lack of libido and mood swings.

Dr Kim told me that this was due mainly to hormonal imbalances after having my son three years ago. I just overall felt quite unlike myself. After just a few weeks my digestion issues were solved, I was regular- and still am today. I have more energy and I am much easier to be around. Sometimes I will connect so much with the Qi release, that I feel like I am levitating above the table.
Sometimes I just feel relaxed after a session. I have neck issues and headaches occasionally that he focuses on and alleviates, and at times have a wrist and shoulder pain that flares up. I see Dr Kim about once a week to this day, and I can honestly say that he changed my life, for the healthier. I feel human again.

Carmell, mother, wife & writer

As a scientist trained in Western thinking I was skeptical as to whether Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal medicines would ever work, but seeing is believing. My wife was suffering with Meniere’s syndrome, and intense reactions to environmental allergens. For several years she was taking just about every medicine available with no real progress. After 6 months of treatment by Dr Kim, she is free of Meniere’s syndrome and has her allergies well under control with no use of any invasive or harsh chemicals.

I’m amazed at the outstanding results she has obtained through the application of traditional Eastern, so called “alternative medicine”, I have no reservations in recommending Dr Kim to anyone who wants to be free from negative symptoms, and particularly those who don’t want to use harsh, invasive and dangerous chemicals that are the normal prescription products widely dispensed in our society today.

“Dr. Kim has been integral in treating my stress, chronic sciatica and post-op knee recovery. I have been to many accupuncturists, but with Dr. Kim I have never been in such knowing and accurate hands with such a clinical and intuitive sense. His kind compassion and desire for the greater well being of his patients is limitless. Gratefully so!”

Alison C., Brentwood

I am a former college athlete, and still very active in beach volleyball and weight lifting. Over the last two years, I’ve damaged my shoulder, sprained my knee and torn a muscle in my arm.

Dr. Kim has been a lifesaver for all my injuries. Visits to his office the day before a tournament have enabled me to play when I thought it was a lost cause, and his on-going treatments have helped to cure to my aliments over the long term.

Equally, if not more important, he’s helped me to center my focus and deal with the typical ups and downs that come with a stressful career and busy lifestyle. I have recommended Dr. Kim to many friends and plan on being a long-standing patient.

Raleigh Santa Monica

I have had chronic pain for a long time and have been searching for a solution or at least a way to manage my situation for years. The first time I saw Dr. Kim, I began to find the relief I was searching for and some hope. He’s a great acupuncturist and doctor and a lovely person.

I’m not at the end of the tunnel yet. But with Dr. Kim’s help, I’m making my way through.

Rebecca, WLA

I have suffered severe migraine for over 30 years and visited many acupuncturists. Not until my husband made a ‘911′ call in Sept 08 to Dr. Kim, have I met a more caring, thorough, dedicated, effective doctor.

I was in extreme pain to my stomach and head, I had lost 24lbs, been to ER and many specialists over the previous 2 weeks. Dr Kim, listened, really heard me, worked toward the root of the problem and continues to do so. Not only did I feel immediate relief, over time, my digestion improved, my migraines are far less debilitating, I have gained weight, I have energy, as an added bonus my body temperature is a lot warmer, in short, I have my life back! From simple colds to stopping my hot flashes, Dr. Kim has attended to all my issues. Dr. Kim is clearly committed to his profession giving his patients the very best care possible, he is very professional, approachable and friendly a wonderful family man. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone considering relieving pain or pain prevention. When I leave my session I feel completely relaxed, pain free and energized.

Thank you so much, Dr. Kim.

Jo, WLA

My name is Arisa, 38 years young. Within the last two years, I’ve been in four car accidents. As a result, I have lower back pain.

When I was first introduce to Dr. Kim. By Dr. Lee, I was quite apprehensive. I don’t do needles. Dr. Kim has a smooth way of relaxing his patients. His acupuncture technique is as gentle as a butterfly. Not only with his selection of melodic music but with his charming wisdom about how acupuncture works. Dr. Kim knows his stuff. Which put me at ease and I trust his recommendations such as to start taking Yoga classes. Only after a few months I felt immediate relief. In addition to the acupuncture he performs two other procedures. One is the comatose cupping which puts me to sleep each and every time. Dr. Kim rubs soothing herbal oils and places heated cups on my lower back. Also the chimneys are quite a delight as well..It sneaks up on you. They feel like mini fire crackers. After both procedures, coupled with the acupuncture, my back felt close to a 100% better. I must admit if I miss my visit with Dr. Kim, my back goes through separation anxiety. I have made Dr. Kim a part of my weekly Health Care regiment. Life before Dr. Kim was pure miser. Life after Dr. Kim is pure Bliss.

I recommend to everyone to make Dr. Kim a part of your Health Care regiment even if you haven’t been in a car accident.

Thank you Dr. Kim for making me healthy.

Arisa, Simi Valley

I went to see Dr. Kim knowing that my body was way out of balance. I was experiencing a lot of symptoms of hypothyroidism and generally feeling badly. Dr. Kim’s medical philosophy didn’t require an allopathic diagnosis, rather he treats the whole system and brings the body back into harmony. Within two months of treatments I felt my vitality and health had been restored; I felt joy again.

Dr. Kim is a master of his medicine; he is an extremely knowledgeable and intuitive healer, his treatment is holistic, his understanding of the body profound, and his approach is gentle and loving. I would recommend his expertise to all!

Anya, West Hollywood

We are so grateful to have our baby boy. Thanks for all your help. I really credit the acupuncture for getting pregnant after so many months of trying, we were so fortunate after only 3 months with your care to conceive. our baby boy is healthy and beautiful. we couldn’t be happier!

Dawn , Valencia

I found Dr. Kim while looking in desperation for a well qualified acupuncturist that would also deal with worker’s comp cases. I had been told by doctors that the only thing that would help the pain in my arms and elbows was hormone injections, addictive pain killers, and possible surgery that would take a year to heal for each arm. Even after all these I was told that it was only a possibility that I would return to normal.

After the first two visits to Dr. Kim I found a significant reduction in the pain that had been my constant companion. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and he really works with you to get things right. I love how he explains everything he is doing and how it relates to your system as a whole so that you are never left in the dark.

I have now seen him 8 times and my pain is a shadow of what it used to be. He has diligently worked on and reduced pain that I have carried for years.

I had just about lost hope for being healed naturally, especially dealing with the worker’s comp system. I find myself so grateful that Dr. Kim works with those sorts of cases and have already referred him to others who are in pain and stuck in the worker’s comp system.

Candace, Los Angeles

Dr Kim is extraordinary. He is the real deal. I came to him with numerous problems including digestion issues, neck and back pain, allergies and eczema, weight issues, and, not surprisingly, I also wasn’t sleeping well. Pretty much, I was a mess. I was quickly reminded of what we learn in kindergarten. The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone… you know how it goes. With the understanding that everything is connected, Dr Kim won’t give up. He will treat the the root of all problems with a gentle hand. He approaches each session with the desire to provide total health and happiness, which includes treating the physical and emotional aspects. I cannot say enough about Dr. Kim. He has truly helped me change my quality of life.

Rayne, Venice

Dr.Kim has been a life saver in so many ways. When I first started working with Dr. Kim now 4 months ago, I had a myriad of issues varying from digestive problems celiac disease, lactose intolerance as well as an adrenal and thyroid problem that was causing my body to slowly breakdown from my insides out. I was feeling very defeated, but with his kind patience and attention to my needs I have overcome so many of the issues. I am now able to eat without felling sick, I have a balanced thermostat ( no more having to turn on the heater in the summer ) my skin has cleared up and my sleep is overall better as well. I still see Dr.Kim 2 times a week for now but, feel that with every visit I am getting stronger mentally and physically. I would highly recommend Dr.Kim to anyone.

Daniella, Los Angeles

I was unable to walk due to a fractured sesamoid bone in my left foot. My podiatrist said that I needed surgery to remove the bone because it is hard to get blood to flow to the area impeding healing. I decided to see Dr.Kim instead ,for acupuncture and after just a couple of visits I was able to walk a little better. After a few more visits and time I am now back to normal. Not only does Dr.Kim use Acupuncture, he also explains how Qi flows in the body and helps one to visualize the healing process. His deep understanding of Qigong and willingness to teach greatly accelerates the results.

Mark Santa Monica

Dr.Kim is very soothing and professional. He is very responsive to my request to be gentle with those needles! He was very helpful with hormone imbalances and pain I was having. He also gave me Acupuncture for the three days I had a major surgery and I recovered extremely quickly, surprising my surgeon. Also he got me specially prepared liquid herb distillation packets(rather than the dry herbs you have to boil yourself) that are only available in a few places.

Noelle Los Angeles

Dr.Kim at Tao of Medicine is a master healer. His instinct and awareness treats not just what hurts but he gets to the source of what is causing your pain. after a head on collison in the auto accident, he treated my severe whiplash which resulted in everything from multiple muscle spasms and awful headaches. His treatments resulted in immediate relief of pain and through my treatments I could feel the trauma to my body releasing and healing. He is truly gifted and the real deal.

Izumi Pacific Palisades

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Dr.Kim at Tao of Medicine for curing my Hyperthyroid conditions. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid about 4 or 5 years ago. I finally went to a highly respected endrocrinologist in 2007. The doctor prescribed Tapazole, one of two drugs available to treat the conditions at the time, only to find that I was allergic to the medicine. I came to Dr.Kim in November of 2007 for treatment, and by my next medical checkup in April of 2008, my thyroid had returned to normal. The conditions have not returned since then.

Again, thank you very much!

J.T.- Santa Monica

A year ago a number of unusual symptoms began troubling me — unsightly red rashes(purpura) on my arms, hair loss, weight loss, intense itching all over. By far the worst was 5 – 8 episodes daily of massive heat and sweats. The heat was unbearable. My HMO internist sent me to one specialist after another with no answers while I struggled to make it through each day. On a whim I sought out Dr. Kim who previously helped me with low back pain. Immediately he began treatments for a hormonal imbalance along with my drinking a specially compounded tea (which tasted and smelled awful). After a few months the symptom’s intensity slowed and finally halted. By this time western medicine came up with a diagnosis and a plan. But it was Dr. Kim who first understood and was able to control the symptoms.

Judy Santa Monica

I was a patient of Dr.Hoon Kim in 2008 for my stiff neck medical problem. I was referred by my western doctor with the diagnosis of spondylosis unspecified for acupuncture treatment. Dr.Kim helped me a great deal to alleviate my severe neck pain and enhance the movement in the neck; I was unable to move my neck without moving my whole upper body. It was a very satisfactory series of numerous sessions. I would recommend Dr.Kim to anyone as a most gentle and great acupuncture expert.

Andre Santa Monica

Dr. Kim is the reason I myself became a bodyworker. He was the first person to treat me with acupuncture, and to teach me how to regulate my body by working with chi/energy. Dr. Kim is a very intuitive physician – he knows exactly where to put the needles and does so in a gentle, nearly pain free way. And if you need to learn Qi Gong, he can help you with that too. A true master of the taoist healing arts

Jill Heinrich, Energy healer and Body work therapist Santa Monica

Dr. Kim at Tao of Medicine is amazing! I have been to many Doctors who claim to do Acupuncture. He is an amazing healer and has a great knowledge of the body and knows the true roots of his craft. I have suffered from major neck and back problems for 15 years and have never felt the relief that Dr. Kim was able to bring. I was benefiting from his treatments immediately. He also proscribes herbal tea’s to help with certain organs and creates his own mixtures. If you are at all wanting to try Acupuncture, PLEASE
go see Dr. Kim. you will not regret it!

Stuart from Malibu

Dr. Kim is very thorough and careful and has a way of knowing where the pain is just by touch. The treatments I have received for a rotator cuff injury and achilles tendonitis have definitely been effective and I am so happy to be getting back to my old exercise routine again. I was really pleased to be able to get in for an appointment right away and happy that the staff was able to tell me up front how much everything would cost–it’s not something that I take for granted! The offices are clean and the environment is very calming. I love it.

Amila, Los Angeles

Dear Dr. Kim

Thank you for your acupuncture in relieving my internal heat and bone spur on my heel. In the last seven sessions, my body heat has been greatly reduced. The bone spur is still there, but I have much relief. My pain has been reduced by 75%, I wear regular shoes, and the doctor has dismissed me. I have the ability to walk with a normal gait. I do not have to see podiatric doctor unless I feel it is necessary.

Again, thank you so much for the relief.
