Acupuncture & Alternative Medicine of Staten Island

I’ve been visiting Dr. Kim’s clinic since 2024, and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. The space is always spotless, peaceful and welcoming. Both Dr. Kim and her husband are incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, always creating a calm and supportive atmosphere every single visit (even when i'm running late..lol). I started seeing her due to corporate stress and loss of appetite. And every time I go there, she asks if I've eaten, slept or how am I doing. What stands out most is Dr. Kim’s genuine care for her patients. She listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and always tailors her approach to your specific needs. She’s not just treating symptoms, she’s focused on helping your body find balance for longterm wellness. Her acupuncture sessions have been a game changer for me, especially in helping manage the stress that comes with corporate life. I always leave feeling more balanced, both mentally and physically. Also, her herbal teas have helped me tremendously. After two months of use (2x-3x's a day), my hemoglobin levels improved significantly. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for holistic care, overall health and wellbeing! :)

I’ve had an amazing experience at this acupuncture clinic. Even before giving birth, I struggled with low energy, constant fatigue, headaches, and feeling generally off balance—but treatment here truly helped regulate everything and made my body feel healthier and more grounded. After giving birth, my periods became irregular, and nothing seemed to help until I returned for acupuncture. The acupuncturist is truly exceptional; she takes the time to understand your lifestyle, body, and overall health before tailoring each session. Thanks to her personalized care, my cycle has become regular again, my energy has improved, and I feel so much more balanced. I’m genuinely grateful for her expertise and highly recommend this place.

I started going to Dr. Kim when I read that IVF is more successful with acupuncture together but I reached out to her a week before my first embryo transfer which was a little late but I appreciated the initial consultation. My first transfer ended up in an early miscarriage and I was grieving and decided to do another transfer asap despite Dr. Kim advising me to wait a few months to heal and to reap the full benefits of acupuncture but I was stubborn and impatient. That transfer failed. I had one embryo left and was finally fully open to listen to any and all advice. I took a month or 2 completely off from anything IVF related to reset my mind and went back to Dr. Kim and resumed weekly treatment for months until the last transfer. The last transfer was a success! I just had my daughter 3 months ago and recently returned back to Dr. Kim for postnatal aches and pains and some residual swelling. I always left my sessions feeling so relaxed, rejuvenated and stress free which also definitely helped during IVF when the anxiety was high. Dr. Kim is so attentive and cares and worries for you like my own mother. I recommend her to anyone looking for an acupuncturist!
