I went to see Joan with chronic back pain. I have tolerated and suffered through the pain for 25 years. The results have been incredible! Rather than managing the pain with pills, now the pain has reduced to a level it's almost gone! I have been so impressed with Joan (Dr. Joan Kim Wagner) and her facility (so clean and comfortable in every room) and her mastery of eastern medicine and herbs that I recommended her to my wife. My wife has had similar fantastic results with some health issues she was facing. I highly recommend Dr. Joan Kim Wagner, she is the best in the business!

I can't recommend Evergreen Acupuncture and Wellness Center enough. It is clean, comfortable, and best of all, it works. I was in severe pain and nervous about trying acupuncture for the first time, but Dr. Kim's extensive knowledge and comforting bedside manner put me at ease.
i have been receiving weekly treatments and taking the handcrafted herbs as recommended, and I'm definitely seeing results. Anyone looking for pain relief in a relaxing, comfortable, and clean environment, I highly recommend Evergreen Acupuncture.

I am so happy I found Joan! She is one of the kindest wellness practitioners I’ve ever come to. She is beyond caring, beyond excited to see you walk through her doors. I was greeted by her beautiful loving pup that made the experience so inviting right from the start. After filling out my paperwork, Joan patiently sat down with me to learn about me, my conditions and my pain. Right from the start, she was willing to get down to the root cause of my issues. Her presence, and her engagement sets her apart from all other places I’ve been too. She really cares about you. I felt amazing after my

I was having severe neck and shoulder pain and Joan Kim was able to give me immediate relief. I suffered from stress related to computer work and driving and my range of motion was seriously diminished. After only a few treatments I could turn my head and my neck and shoulders were incredibly better. I highly recommend Evergreen Acupuncture & Wellness Center!

I am very happy with the care that I am receiving at Evergreen Acupuncture & Wellness Center. Dr. Kim and her Staff are dedicated to all their patients. I believe that Dr. Kim is a dedicated acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Specialist. I can definitely say that I am feeling so much better after starting my acupuncture along with my Chinese Herbs. I have been seen by two other acupuncturist and Dr. Kim is definitely the one that I would recommend because she is thorough and her intake will prove this! She truly cares about hr patients and follows you with care. I appreciate Dr. Kim and

The staff at Evergreen are some of the kindest, most accommodating and professional people I have ever met. I started acupuncture earlier this year almost completely immobilized by multiple chronic illnesses. I am now able to walk again, and have been able to get back to my life and am on the road to good health.

Dr. Kim & Joan have been more than helpful! When i first came in I had many different issues (fatigue, anxiety, migraines, jaw pain etc.) I am still in treatment here currently, however more than half of the issues i had when i came in are completely gone. Not only has it been a tremendous help, but the environment is also extremely friendly and comfortable. Everyone is very kind and welcoming! I would highly recommend Evergreen to anyone interested in trying accupuncture!

I can't believe that this witchcraft thing is still alive. It amuses me how she can persuade people to believe her needles poking people instead of her dolls. Like most of the bad reviews here she is very hungry for money and trapping you for a bigger package which is very pricey and manipulate you that you can save more. She is taking advantage of people who have CA or diseases or even just small issues of their health but the truth is she wants your money. Be afraid be very afraid! My experience was totally waste of money and time listening to her nonsense when the fact is she just want

I took my rotator cuff injury (in my shoulder) and my tendinitis (in my finger) to Evergreen weeks ago. They're much better now. The physical therapy I was allowed (for my shoulder) did nothing, really. You can't beat acupuncture for fixing such things.
My insurance company would only allow 15 visits, so I couldn't take advantage of any of the packages that I was urged to get, but I must say it's a nice, clean office and I've been glad for the help that the acupuncture has given me.
I'm not thrilled about the long commute (25 miles one way), but that's not their

I unfortunately have to update this review because the doctor keeps changing her prices and seems VERY money hungry. She'll try to push "packages" and charge a lot for herbs. Last time I was there I asked for rapid release which every other time I had gotten free of charge because she said she wanted to "help me get better" but she didn't feel like helping me that day and said that she would have to charge me for it. I will be taking my business elsewhere...

Over the years I have visited Dr. Kim for my chronic stiff neck and shoulders. She was able to help me to move freely. I have also had the face lift acupuncture treatment which did wonders. While I was training for the LA marathon for some reason my ankle began to swell up. I hadn't fallen or out right injured it but it didn't look good. I visited Dr. Kim and immediately felt better. Dr. Kim has a calm bedside manner and has always made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend her.

I started going to Evergreen Acupuncture about 4 weeks ago. I had a really bad shoulder pain that ran through my Arm down to my fingers. Dr.Kim spent time and carefully diagnosed my symptoms and explained exactly what she was going to do to turn things around. The truth is that acupuncture is one of the steps toward turning on the healing process and with her advice on my diet and my daily routine, together we solved my shoulder pain and now I am feeling better.Her staff are amazing and very professional and super accommodating.They all work as a team to make you feel comfortable and welcomed

I went to Joan's practice in Santa Barbara, she is normally in Santa Barbara once a week. I did the all over wellness check and Face Lift acupuncture. It was so relaxing that I fell asleep. When I woke up, I can see my lips corner totally got lift up. It was like someone had taped my chin back. She also offer weight loss treatments too. I would totally recommended this to all the brides especially!

I met Dr. Kim and her staff at the women's expo in LA. She's very nice and informative. The acupuncture has definitely helped my neck and shoulder pain. The staff here are so nice and they really listen to my needs which is a plus. They are flexible with scheduling and will always call me Back when I leave a message. In addition, they send reminder texts for my appointments which I find helpful. I also love working with Marjan who is very gentle and helpful when assisting me.

Worse acupuncture experience of my life and I have been getting acupuncture since I was 8 years old. First of all I don't feel that the technician listened to me about my current condition. Rather she just kept pushing me to purchase more sessions before I ever got the treatment.
Secondly they talked way too much. Especially since I'm a seasoned acupuncture patient.
Thirdly the treatment was terrible they made me bleed and needles fell out halfway through the treatment and on top of that the treatment was much shorter than it is typically with my acupuncture specialist in Hawaii and

I first started coming to Evergreen Acupuncture & Wellness Center back in June to try to alleviate the tendinitis in my wrist. I was scared of needles, but traditional physical therapy and Aleve just weren't cutting it anymore. From the get go, I could tell that Dr. Joan is very dedicated to her patients, that she really tries to hear you and help treat you to keep you centered and healthy. I don't even think about my tendinitis anymore, and Dr. Joan has helped me with my sleep schedule and energy as well! I feel less stressed and more in-tune with my day-to-day life.

I have been having mystery inflammatory issues for over a year. When I got a flare up last week, I went to see Dr. Joan because she is close to home. She worked wonders on my swollen tongue, and I felt better after just one acupuncture session. So A+ on quality of treatment...
HOWEVER, I got the feeling she was more interested in money than anything else. She asked for payment up front for 4 sessions, and then after the 4th session and reevaluation, insisted I needed 24 more! It felt like she was guilt-tripping me into buying this $3000 package. Saying that my health is the most important investment

Joan Wagner is a wonderful experienced acupuncturist! She helps me with my Multiple Sclerosis- permanent disability. Thanks to Joan Wagner's acupuncture, her loving, caring attitude, I don't take MS steroids. It helps me to live a happy and healthy life. My Mother recently received a Foot Detox treatment at Joan's Wellness center. Mom is extremely satisfied with results, and is looking forward to continue Foot Detox[ treatment.
Bonnie Hetrick, my Mother-in-law, is a huge fan of Joan's acupuncture. She always ask for acupuncture at Joan's center. Last Christmas I gave Mom-in-law Evergreen Gift
