Testimonial

Dr Kim is pretty amazing. After being tired for months post Covid I finally went to him to see if I could improve my energy. After the first visit I could feel my energy returning. Separately I had been going to my chiropractor for 4 months for a pain in my hip that travelled up my spine. Nothing helped. I asked Dr. Kim to take a look at it, and amazingly enough after one session I felt better. I don't expect to be treated once by an accupuncture doctor and have immediate relief, I'm too skeptical for that, but trust me, this happened and I am forever grateful. Thanks Dr. Kim!

This was a great experience for me. I got acupuncture and soft tissue work done on my tennis elbows. Dr Kim did an amazing job helping me heal and giving me the knowledge to stay well. I highly recommend Tao of Medicine

Tao of Medicine is amazing! I highly recommend getting acupuncture here! Dr. Kim is wonderful at what he does and super nice! I have gone into his office feeling full of anger and after I leave I'm totally relaxed feeling zen! He always gets me in last minute too, which I really appreciate!

I've tried a number of acupuncture places and Tao of Medicine is by far the best. Dr. Kim is a master at his medicine. I've been seeing Dr. Kim regularly for a year now and he is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and committed. He is especially good at treating muscular skeletal injuries and sports rehabilitation. I'm an Ironman athlete and he keeps me on the top of my game and injury free. From shin splints to disk herniations to general stress, he is an expert. I can not recommend him highly enough! Big thumbs up for him

- Dylan D.

Highly, highly recommend Dr. Kim! I've done acupuncture before and hated it, but I haven't missed a week with him. The second I walk into his office I already start to feel at ease. I've been going to him for several months now and have recommended him to several friends. I absolutely hate needles, but it's not a problem under his care. He's also been extremely supportive throughout the duration of my treatment, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and is extremely knowledgeable in his practice!

Don't hesitate to see him! He's truly the best!!
