I have seen this practitioner for a full month now while seeing another Acupuncturist, I will say that there is a marked difference in technique. Dr. Kim is very respectful,... read more kind and keeps checking in with his patient for comfort level. He usually works both front and back side of your body.

I appreciate that his office is clean and he is thorough. He starts with consultation, review of your medical history and your chief complaint that brought you to his office.

He does not make any bombastic claims that he will cure me of anything, he merely does his job-what he has been trained to do and well practiced in with over 16 years of experience (I checked his license).

I could sense his authority and comfort level with his craft even though he speaks very little. I was comparing his approach to this younger woman who came from Modern Acupuncture business model. She banks on her bedside manner of sweet talk and touts her M.S. degree but she only has barely 2 years in the industry treating patients as a licensed acupuncturist. Unfortunately I did not check into this until i was $3k deep with buying her B.S.

It's very important to be realistic when searching for holistic healing and alternative health care--if you have a severe condition that requires medical interventions of a western nature--then don't waste valuable time, deceiving yourself into expecting a miracle from a holistic medicine practitioner--contrary to popular 'mis' belief--these guys aren't magicians--but they CAN offer some NATURAL relief depending on how far along you are in a disease process.

Overall, I decided to keep seeing Dr. Kim over the high falutin Graduate with an M.S. degree, for many reasons but one being that Dr. Kim has experience backing him and his clinic is clean, he accepts insurance, and he is respectful of my body & personal space -- so far, he has been very professional.

I hope to write a follow up review for him in 6 months. For now, I would encourage anyone who is open to trying TCM/fire cupping etc. to give Dr. Kim and his wife a try.

But to the general public, I caution all to do their due diligence, go to search.dca.ca.gov  and see how long the practitioner has been licensed, if there are any marks or discipline and then proceed cautiously.

Good Health to All!

  I was experiencing severe pain on my neck / shoulder / head due to a massage that was incorrectly done on me from a massage place. The pain was unbearable... read more to the point where I could not sleep with my head on a pillow! I stopped by Dr. Kim's clinic and after the first session, I felt such an improvement. I was able to move my head more comfortably. I went for a second session and afterwards I was fully healed and recovered. It was amazing. I was really concerned and scared about not being able to move my neck or head again but Dr. Kim and his practice alleviated all of my concerns and pain. I'm very grateful for Dr. Kim healing me in a holistic way!

  Have been coming here for a while now. Every time I call them the day off and they're able to accommodate me. They really know what they're doing. Originally found... read more them through Groupon and have been coming ever since. Would highly recommend

  I have had fire cupping done before, but Myojin Ha & Harrison Kim's cupping technique is something new. I feel 100% better after my session. I was so surprised that... read more I felt so amazing after one session with them!
I came in for muscle tension and stress. If you suffer from, tight muscles and/or stress you have to come in and see them! Do not wait another minute! I wish I hadn't. I feel so good! My mind is quiet and relaxed. My body back, neck, and shoulders feel great! I went in feeling cray-cray (crazy), and I left feeling light, relaxed, and left with a smile (my usual self).
Thank you, Acubalance for a job well done! I left feeling balanced.
With Gratitude,

  Highly recommend fire cupping! Great for pain management and blood stagnation in the body. Staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to your medical needs.

  I had the fire cupping done here and it was amazing they took great care of me can't wait to come back!

  Wonderful services provided! I was overdue in my second pregnancy. Over the past couple of days I was having inconsistent contractions so I decided to try acupuncture to help induce... read more labor naturally. I had my treatment at 3:00pm and by 1:00am that night I was in labor. I couldn't be happier with my treatment and the outcome.

  I highly highly recommend this place! I had a trouble with my tmj so I suffered with headache and tinnitus for a long time. But after 6 treatments it got... read more wayyy better and after 16 treatments it completely went away! Dr. Kim is very kind and very clear with the whole treatment process. Lastly, clinic itself is very tidy as well.

  My family and I have been coming here for almost 10 years now. We bring the whole family here starting with my high school cousins who get sport injuries to... read more my mother who has Parkinson's. Dr. Kim is a man that has so much care for his patients. Dr. Jo is the perfect partner who comes in with that care as well. These two will do what ever they can to help you with the most natural way possible.

  I suffered a shoulder injury at work.  As part of my therapy, acupuncture was authorized.  I was setup to go near my home and was sent to Acubalance Clinic.  Both... read more doctors are awesome and friendly and have helped so much on the recovery of my shoulder.  They explain everything to you so you know what is happening and the treatment your receiving.  Both doctors are so friendly and take really good care of their patients.

I recently had an old back injury act up and called to see if they could see me.  Without hesitation, an appointment was made for that day, actually within an hour of calling.  As always, the treatment I received was superb.  I left the office feeling so much better than when I went in.  I recommend Acubalance Clinic if looking for a natural way of healing.

  Best acupuncture clinic I've ever been to, I tried other two before trying Dr Kim and i already  see the difference after two sessions, he really knows what he's doing... read more I highly recommended Dr Kim

  Amazing. The doctors here really care about their patients and I never feel like I am being offered remedies or sessions I do not need. I feel relaxed when I... read more leave. They do cupping, Accupunture, infared light, aroma therapy. Super holistic and super amazing. I've been coming for over a year on a monthly basis and I recommend this clinic to those who are in pain or want to get better. One session will not heal all, but to me it makes a difference.

  The best acupuncture clinic I've been to. I called for an appointment and they were able to get me in the same day. It was the most thorough consultation I've... read more had, and that includes from a regular MD. They don't rush through your treatment as other places do, so be prepared to be there over an hour, at least on your first visit. They make sure you are relaxed before they begin the acupuncture, using heating pads to warm and relax your muscles. Dr Kim is very kind and explains the process and what to expect. He is very gentle and careful placing the needles and I've had no pain during the 5 appointments I've had there. They've also added additional treatments after each acupuncture that are included in the cost; including massage and cupping. Dr Jo has also assisted on certain visits, and she is just as good. I highly recommend.

  Great place. I was a bit skeptical about this place at first but this place is a gem. Will be visiting here for most of my treatments. A lot cheaper... read more than the doctors. Didn't believe in asian medicine at first, but boy was I wrong

  Dr Kim and Dr Jo are incredible professionals. I called for an appointment the same day, and the were very accepting of my short notice. Once I got their Dr... read more Kim did a thorough consultation. I have to say that he asked me more questions about my history and health then all my doctors combined. He explained the process of my Accupuncture treatment and continuously educated me on how to benefit the most from my therapy.
My first treatment was so relaxing due to Dr Kim explaining his process and what to expect, and Dr Jo was there holding my hand since I was a little nervous.
Both Acupuncturist are helpful, professional, educated, and passionate about what they do. So much that Dr Kim provided me with literature to learn more about yin and yang and how to continue to balance myself physically, mentally and spiritually.
I love these two, that I would recommend anyone who has anxiety, muscle pains, or sleep troubles to start here. They will teach you so much about how to recover and staying healthy, that pills will be unthinkable.  
I've been going to Dr Kim and Jo for the last 5 weeks, what a difference it has done for my neck/shoulder pain and anxiety!!!! I'm sleeping soundly, and my moods have been lifted dramatically!!!! I am so grateful for these two, that I can only say if you are in that much pain like I was START here!!! God Bless.

  Dr Kim is an amazingly knowledgeable and kind doctor! His treatments are not painful, produce great results, and God has blessed him with expert knowledge and acupuncture techniques. Even other... read more acupuncturists come to him to get treated. I had stomach pain and dizziness when I first came and was unable to drive due to it, but now can drive after 2 sessions and my body feels a lot more relaxed and easier to sleep. Highly recommended !!!

  Dr. Jongku Kim has impressed me with his ability to aid in healing. He is the kindest, most caring of all acupuncturists I have encountered, and trust me, I've been... read more around! HE TRULY CARES! His attention to every detail and ailment. His precision with treatment. He is gem in every sense of the word! I was very fortunate to have found him. Needles aren't painful, I promise! He has treated me with acupuncture, cupping, infrared treatments, and I still look forward to each visit.

May this man continue to be blessed with his gift of healing and intention. He gets my meridians following beautifully. Thank you Dr. Kim!
