Upon receiving acupuncture license 2001, Dr. Sang Jo Kim worked for an acupuncture clinic and owned an acupuncture clinic until 2008. Dr. Kim served as a director of clinics and faculty of South Baylo University and Stanton University (A school of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) from 2007 to 2015.
The general theory of acupuncture is that proper physiological function and health depend on the circulation of nutrients, substances and energy called Qi (pronounced "chee") through a network of "channels" or "meridians." This network connects every organ and part of the body, providing balance, regulation and coordination of physiological processes.

I highly recommend Dr. Kim. He is the third acupuncturist I have had experience with since I decided to try this treatment as an alternative to taking pain medicine. He is the best of the three I have tried. He is a very caring, educated and knows what he is doing. I have been going to see him for chronic pain from a 40-year-old injury and new injuries. He has given me so much relief that I have been recommending Dr. Kim to my friends and family. Almost everyone has been pleased with his treatment that has tried him and thanked me for my recommendation. I even talked my husband into trying

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Kim is! He's been seeing my husband for a year, now, for post surgery therapy, and has helped him so much. I started seeing him a couple months ago for neck and shoulder pain, as well as wrist issues, and he's been amazing. He actually listens and works with you to help with not only your chief complaints, but also anything underlying. Additionally, he takes the time to explain what he's doing, and why he's doing it. Finally, he's exceptionally accommodating with schedules and making appointments work with your schedule which

I was very nervous coming in for my first time. I'm also just very nervous lately due to my chronic illness. Dr. Kim was very professional and made me feel safe and respected. He had a keen sense of what he was doing. The environment was clean and quiet. My current medications are making me feel terrible so I am desperate for alternatives. I've been experiencing such severe nausea, conversations and loud noises make me so dizzy. I did not have any issues here. My first session was so relaxing! Dr. Kim was patient and soft spoken. Everything was so calm. I feel slightly better, but I did

Dr Kim was wonderful today. First time in months that I haven't had a migraine by the end of the day. The pain in my neck is also gone which is incredible to me. He recommends 6 visits to get the full benefits and that seems totally reasonable if I continue to get the same results. Also by the way he has an incredibly gentle touch :) He kept an eye on me and made sure I was comfortable and answered any questions I had. A very calming environment.

KSJ was my first experience with acupuncture. I have always had pretty bad lower back pain and I was very nervous at the thought of having needles in my back. Dr Kim was so kind and explained everything prior to getting started. I have bad great success with his approach and my back pain has significantly decreased. Every time I go in for a session I always know that the environment will be clean and peaceful. I highly recommend KSJ acupuncture.
