| - I have been a patient of Dr. Kim's for almost 3 years. I was sent his direction after I was unable to find relief with my regular doctor from migraines. I had tried multiple medications and was still suffering on a weekly basis. I was also suffering from jaw pain and was looking at a $5,000 estimate for a dentist to attempt to give me relief.
Dr. Kim did a great job right off the bat taking the time to explain what I could expect from acupuncture (it does not give 100% relief after a single session) and how often I would need to come. He explained that we would be using a combination of needles and suction cups for my treatment. It is very obvious that he truly cares about his patients. He keeps up with details of my life and always asks how everything is going.
I started noticing a difference in the frequency of my migraines after about 4 sessions (spaced about a week apart). Over the first 6 months I went from having weekly migraine episodes to then having them only monthly. At the year mark, I was maybe experiencing them every 3-4 months. Around the 1 year mark, I started to lessen my visits to be every other week.
At the year and a half mark, due to the physical stresses of my job working at an animal hospital, I started to experience Achilles tendinitis in both of my ankles. I was 2 weeks away from my wedding date and walking with an obvious limp when I came in to see him for one of my normal visits. Dr. Kim immediately offered a treatment solution (my regular GP recommended advil and ice and if that did not work I could follow up with another appointment down the road) and had me back up and walking for my wedding.
As of April of this year, my visits have now included treatment for morning sickness related to my first pregnancy. Along with offering relief from my very severe symptoms, he has offered guidance and advice for certain foods that I can eat to combat other common pregnancy symptoms.
To rate the pain of acupuncture, it would be more painful to get snapped with a rubber band than having a needle placed. Some locations do hurt more than others, but never anything that has made me feel like the needle needs to be removed immediately. If anything, the suction cups give you more discomfort, but they provide so much more relief that they are 100% the slight discomfort.
I have never gone to another acupuncture clinic, but with the positive experience I have had with Dr. Kim, I have never had the need.
