I am 69 years old and was diagnosed several years ago with sleep apnea. Recently, my sleep problems worsened. I was waking up three or four times a night, rising exhausted and headachy, and requiring several fitful naps in the afternoon. A sleep study indicated that I also had something related to restless leg syndrome, a continue that causes repeated leg kicks throughout the night. Not wanting to take sedatives--one recommended treatment--I contacted doctor Chong at Yedam Well-Being Center and started seeing him for acupuncture two times a week. My symptoms started improving immediately, and now

Dr. Chong is an incredible healer. My neuropathy got bad. It is Much better after three sessions. By the way my anxiety disappeared after the first session. My neurologist only offered cortisone for my back, which is also better. I encourage others to seek his care. The difference is night and day. And my insurance covers it 100%.
BTW, his staff is friendly and helpful.

He diagnosed "Weal kidney" and "Weak Liver" initially and according to him these 2 organs were getting stronger/balance while Ii was seeing him 2 times a week. However, he changed his initial diagnosis to Stress hormones problem. I didn't get any benefits from his treatment/sessions whatsoever. I went to see Dr Hoyoon Chong and explain my problems/ issues before scheduling my sessions with him. He said he can help me with my symptoms of Angry outbursts, irritations, Not feeling good etc. I followed his directions and visited him from April 2021---June 2021. I have had 2

Dr. Chong and his staff are such amazing human beings. He is wise beyond measure and a very honest person. I’ve been a long-term patient coming in and out with an array of different health issues from GI to eye strains and while I’m not cured of all my ailments, I feel SO much better compared to when it started. His accupuncture sessions are a great step to the healing process and have been tremendously helpful in reducing and completely ridding some of my symptoms. He takes his time and is efficient and gives wonderful advice. Keep in mind if you ever decide to try accupuncture, you have to

I visited Yedam today as my friend's referral. I have been suffering from stomach bloating and many other issues. I visited numerous Acupuncturist and hospitals but no body told me this much details. Dr. Chong explained for over 1 hour and he even encouraged me to ask more questions. He explained everything as comparisons and in plain dialog speech for me to understand fully. It was the moment that my last puzzle piece was found.
Also the ladies at the front desk were so polite and friendly just like Dr. Chong.

Im so happy and grateful I came here. Hoyoon Chong being the 3rd generation in his family is so impressive and I have so much respect for him. I felt a difference after one treatment for the tingling in my thigh (Meralgia Paresthetica) that I have had for most of this year. I was about to give up after months of physical therapy, weeks of chiropractic care and trying any and everything my Doctor of Western medicine and research said to do. This success has made me want to learn all I can about Korean Medicine.
Hoyoon Chong and the staff here are very nice, knowledgeable and flexible with appointments

This was my first time having acupuncture. My Dr recommended trying acupuncture for a neck issue as I didn't have insurance. I was listened to and had 5 sessions. The neck issue was very bad with lots of inflammation. It took 3 sessions before I started getting relief. After the 5th session within a few days I was back to normal!

After 16 years of being in retail my feet are pretty messed up. I've had surgery for neuromas and a bunion on my right foot and experience pain in my left. I also have pain in my lower back, neck, and shoulders. Every week Dr. Chong carefully places and removes the needles and my pains are cured. It is nothing short of miraculous!

I suffered from chronic hives that began mid March. I was put on two rounds of steroids and was taking a mixture of five anti histamines and nothing was working. I was miserable and felt sick from the lack of sleep and the discomfort from the itching and stinging all over my body which the hives were causing. By around end of May I discovered Dr. Chong and he began to treat me with acupuncture three times a week and herbs. Within two weeks my condition significantly improved and the rashes began to disappear. I can't thank Dr. Chong enough. I am still continuing acupuncture because my

I have not gone in for a visit yet but I was disappointed and bothered that communicating on the phone was difficult for the receptionist and myself. I didn’t always understand what she said and she didn’t understand me. She was friendly but the call was far from efficient which is what I needed. I’m not encouraged to call back when I need acupuncture work because I don’t want to waste my time.

Acupuncture works and really should be on the top of your list! I’m writing this review for you! I was not asked or hinted to write this review in anyway and I rarely post reviews. I wish more people would try acupuncture, it doesn’t hurt and it should be popular. It helps your body balance its energy to heal itself and Ive felt a difference with one treatment each time. However, I keep going for whatever Im seeking help for till it is 100% gone so it doesn’t come back.
Im so happy I found this place. Dr Chong is so nice and helpful explaining everything. Im learning so much and it is fascinating

Helped me with my insomnia. Sleeping much better now. I was waking up after 3 hours for no reason pretty often enough to make me desperate enough to go seek help, but acupuncture and herbal medicine here helped fix me back. Basically back to my normal self. Also had sharp and deep pain behind neck and left shoulder blade, did one acupuncture session and it was much improved the next day and then even better each day after that, and pretty much the pain disappeared after 5 days or so.

I've had upper back shoulder pains for 2 months from falling off my BMX bike. I've had restricted arm movements since. I've had physical therapy sessions that didn't do much and was hesitant to try acupuncture. I'm so glad I did though and so glad I went to this one specifically.
The doctor is really knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. Not only that, he is always smiling, nice, and respectable. I went in with upper back pains and expected needles on my back, but he never touched my back. Instead, he took my pulse and pinpointed locations on my legs to reduce 90% of the pain in my upper back

I had my 3rd visit today here and once again, with no fail, had a very productive visit. I hadn't visited in a while so it felt good to be back. I wrote a review about my first visit and attached it (wrote it in my notepad app cause didn't want it to get erased while I type).... so you can read that one. Today is just an update and had a wonderful time again. Dr. Chong is just amazing and as I mentioned in my review of my first visit, he sincerely cares and is no way pressed for your money. He always recommends sessions just for your betterment but doesn't force it on you. I love

Acupuncture here is quick, easy, and effective. Dr. Chong has great bedside manners and is very good at explaining things. I actually came from a different acupuncturist because I wasn't seeing any results. I have trigger finger in two of my fingers and tried cortisol shots already. I did not want to get surgery so I started seeing Dr. Chong weekly. I can confidently say my symptoms have reduced significantly. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Good experience with this center. The doctor is very well versed in Accupuncture and explains everything to you clearly so you understand what he is addressing and why. I have visited multiple centers and little success by the the technicians there - not the case @ Yedam! Severe back pain which after 2-3 treatments did subside considerably. This guy knows what he is doing!

I came here with my spouse who never experienced acupuncture. When we walked into the clinic, receptionists were very welcoming. We waited a few minutes and entered the therapy room. As we walked in, I could tell my husband was getting anxious until he spoke with Dr. Cheong! My husband was at ease once Dr. Cheong explained the differences between Western and Oriental practices and how it works. Needless to say, we loved our first experience at Yedam and can not wait to return. Thank you again!

Dr. Chong is the best acupuncturist in NoVa hands down. I have been to many Korean and Chinese acupuncturists in my lifetime including the ones in Annandale. He spends time explaining your illnesses and the causes behind them. He has great bedside manners, is always smiling and is extremely empathetic, understanding & compassionate.
I have had acupuncture done here myself for my back pain by Dr. Chong- awesome! I have also been taking my elderly mother here and he has been the only one to make a difference in her health. She has bouts of dizziness, back pain and neuropathy in both of her

This is my first time writing a review, and it was worth the wait. I have fibromyalgia, suffered from anxiety, insomnia, allergies, etc. Regardless of my concern - Dr. Chong always helps. He also healed my Mom's knee pain that she's had for years. He treats the root of the issue not just the symptoms, which leaves me feeling better than when I came in...without medications (although his herbal medicine is customized and works wonders - just like his acupuncture).
Not only does Dr. Chong have a gift for healing, he is very knowledgeable and enjoys sharing what he knows! He is very easy
