After visiting an acupuncturist in Rockville and not getting better, I decided to come to Lim's. I found him online and have been extremely satisfied. I have been a client at Lim's Acupuncture for more than a year and he has cured my chronic knee pain. Dr. Lim is very careful and thoughtful acupuncturist. His unique merit is that he tries to cure the problem fundamentally, not temporarily, although it would take more time, energy, care, and patience. My back pain have been gradually reduced after 4 visits.

I came to Lim for anxiety and insomnia. My first visit I was nervous and even had a panic attack. He was very kind and patient and calmed me down. He tried another technique that worked perfectly. After my fourth visit I am sleeping through the night and am calm and relaxed during my visits. Mr. Lim has been extremely helpful.

I came to Dr Lim about a month ago with a knee pain and lower right side pain that I had struggled with for months. Since it was my first time ever experiencing acupunture, I was skeptical to what extent this will be helpful since I had made several visits to my physicain for the pain and was still persistent. After a few visits my skepticism waned away, the pain on my lower right side now disappeared and I can now flex my knee with little or no pain. I am certainly satisfied with Dr Lim's services. He is very professional, he listens very well, and patiently, and always willing to assist . I would

I came to see Mr. Lim about a month ago with very bad sciatica. After two sessions per week, the sciatica is 85 percent gone. Aside from the acupuncture techniques, he gave me exercises to decrease my pain. In addition, he told me to change my diet to fit my body type which would make me healthier overall.

Dr Lim has been treating me for a month for cholesterol and weight problems. He is very patient and thorough and identified other issues pertaining to wellness. He advises me on a proper diet to align with my body type and I feel an improvement in my general wellness. My energy levels have improved and I do not stress eat anymore and am better able to control my diet. Dr Lim is within my insurance network and I feel that alternate treatment is very beneficial to me.

I must admit that I was very skeptical at first but after my first few visits i started noticing that my sleep patterns, neck pain, and overall health is better. Lim’s technics addresses the root cause which is key if you want your issue to go away permanently. I truly appreciate all of his help so far!

I have been seeing Dr. Lim for 1 year. Started before pandemic. I see him for a wide range of issues: depression, sciatica/back pain, and a bunch of other things. He's a quintessential professional; responsive. He's an active listener and takes every issue I have very seriously. I have seen many acupuncturists, in many shi-shi places. Comparatively speaking, this is a non-descript place in Gaithersburg with a very sincere practitioner. I have seen quicker results with him than any other acupuncturist I have seen in my life. He's gentle, kind, and is competent in addressing medical

Dr Lim was responsive to my need (left a message and he called right back and fit me in same day). This was my first time experiencing acupuncture and he was great at talking through what was happening and putting me at ease. My issue took two sessions and improved tremendously! I am grateful and would recommend Dr Lim to others!

I woke up Thursday morning with my right wrist feeling stiff and by noon Friday my wrist and forearm were throbbing with pain. I saw Lims page on Yelp, liked his reviews and called for an appointment. I arrived with my arm wrapped in a brace I bought earlier from CVS, trying to put the pain out of my mind. Lim used a combination of acupressure and acupuncture over the 60 minute session. I left pain free without the brace. Its Monday evening and strength and mobility has returned to my right wrist in one visit without medication. Acupuncture/Acupressure is magic. You owe it to yourself to schedule

Mr. Lim has been extremely helpful. I suffered from chronic headaches, back pain, and anxiety and am happy to report that I am feeling much better. Mr. Lim is gentle and caring and knows what he is doing.
My insurance does not cover acupuncture, so I am paying out of pocket for treatment, and the rates are very reasonable.

I have been a client at Lim's Acupuncture for more than a year and he has cured my chronic knee pain. Before visiting him my orthopedic doctor wanted to replace my knee, thanks to the miracle work of Lim, no surgery, no pain and no replacement.
I have made referrals to Lim's Acupuncture and each person has had wonderful improvement. He is proficient in pain management, stress management and carpal tunnel.

Mr.Lim is extremely talented and does what each individual needs to feel better. He has helped me with my chronic back pain and with ongoing anxiety as well. His cash out-of-pocket rate is extremely reasonable if your insurance doesn't cover it and his times and appointment openings are very flexible as well. I would recommend this to anyone for any element as someone who has sought acupuncture in the past for different things.
