After only 2 sessions of accupuncture with Kuong the knee pain I have had for over 3 months is significantly better. I came in with pain at an 8/10 and two sessions later it was cut in half! I have had long term accupuncture with two others in the area and Kuong’s work far outweighs the others. He is personable and deeply cares about relieving his patients pain. I believe in his expertise and would highly recommend his work. I am so grateful to have been referred by someone else to him!

Awesome practitioner, great customer service, and truly cares about my well being. Kuong takes the time to hear me out on where my pain is and gives me a treatment plan.
Updated: I have continued going back to see Kuong on numerous occasions for treatments. He has helped tremendously in healing me. With those sudden onset injuries, one treatment seem to do the trick (more severe injuries would be two to three appointments - thank goodness). I'm glad at least I know where to go for help!

I see Kuong once a week and he's such a fun person to spend an hour with! He gives a great massage while he needles you up and has done WONDERS on my anxiety that no other acupuncturist has ever been able to do. It's a trip and I don't know how he does it but I'm glad he does! Oh and he's totally in network with blue cross blue shield so I don't even pay anything out of pocket, it's awesome :)
