KONA (Korean Neuro Acupuncture)

I’ve completed five appointments with Dr. Jae Kim so far at KONA acupuncture, including both acupuncture and cupping treatments, and I have experienced significant improvements in the concerns we’ve been addressing. My upper-back and knee pain, TMJ discomfort, and stress-related headaches have improved dramatically. I’ve also noticed meaningful changes in my overall energy, stress, anxiety, depression, sleep, menstrual pain, and digestion. Dr. Kim is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in the practice of traditional Korean acupuncture. He is professional, kind, and thorough, taking the time to explain his approach, answer questions, and help me understand how the treatments work. He is also genuinely humorous and personable, which - along with his gentle technique - makes every appointment feel comfortable and reassuring. The office is exceptionally clean, peaceful, and inviting as well, creating a relaxing atmosphere from the moment you arrive. I’m truly grateful for Dr. Kim’s care and the meaningful difference these treatments have already made in my overall health and well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone considering acupuncture or cupping!

I’ve come to Dr. Jae Kim with a variety of ailments over the past several years. I truly appreciate his kindness, his patience to listen to my issues and his very detailed explanations behind why a specific ailment manifests and how we can treat it moving forward. Most recently I came to him with a case of shingles. I was experiencing the classic symptoms of burning nerve pain, sensitivity and the blistering rash. I’ve had 2 sessions and the pain is 90% gone, the rash has scabbed over, I am sleeping well now and my energy is coming back. Mind you, this was only over 2 treatments over 2 consecutive days and have had the rash for a week and nerve pain for nearly 2 weeks. The results speak for themself and I am extremely grateful to have Dr. Kim as a resource.

I’ve had an excellent experience at KONA Acupuncture, especially with the dry needling treatment for my back and neck pain. After struggling with persistent discomfort for a 10+ years, I finally found real relief here. I have had X-rays, MRIs, Physical therapy, massages, medications, etc with no relief. The treatment has made a noticeable difference in my daily function and overall comfort with just one treatment so far! The provider is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what he’s doing and why, which really helped me feel at ease throughout the process. You can tell he truly understands the body and tailors treatment to your specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I highly recommend KONA Acupuncture to anyone dealing with chronic muscle tension or pain—especially if you’re considering dry needling. It’s been a game changer for me and my husband who suffers with low back pain and knee pain (he is a golfer)

Dr. Kim is simply amazing. Reasonable prices for him to perform absolute magic. He listens to you explain your pain points/symptoms, tests points on your body for tenderness, then identifies the exact spots to target with needles (that you barely feel). You can really feel the immediate results and also over the next couple days. He does more listening than talking, and really has a deep understanding of the body and its relationships and inner workings. This is Korean acupuncture (unique to the area) and I can't recommend enough that you visit him to address any recurring issues you might have. In my case, it's sciatica of the leg, and muscle tightness. I've never been more impressed by a doctor, and he is also very kind and a good listener.

Venue I feel comfortable and safe in the environment Jae Kim has created. It's obvious he has put a lot of thought and time into it. Jae Kim Jae Kim is very professional with a very personal approach. He is very thorough in his questioning of symptoms and spends a great deal of time explaining the source and diet adjustments to help. He is very kind, and listens and responds to your concerns. My TMJ pain I’ve suffered from for 30 years is gone after just 2 visits. My digestion has improved. My circulation has improved. My pain has improved. He does all this even though visits are not scheduled frequently, but rather as needed. I thank you Jae Kim!

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Kim at Kona Acupuncture, and he truly listens to my concerns. He addresses specific areas of discomfort with thoughtful care, making me feel like we’re partners in restoring my health. He asks insightful questions to pinpoint issues, and when I express any concerns, he takes the time to address them thoroughly. The office is always clean, and the entire experience is positive. After just two visits, I’m already feeling significant improvement in my right shoulder, which I’ve been struggling with for two years! Highly recommend

One session pretty much cured my chronic neck pain. It was about 50% better after the session and no more pain after about 1 week. Tried massages and stretching before and acupuncture was the best. Mr. Kim is also very professional and friendly, nice and clean facility.

I’ve been suffering from severe shoulder and upper back pain for years. After the treatment, I feel like a new person. The range of motion came back and I feel a lot better. Mr. Kim is very thorough and kind.

HIGHLY RECOMMENED....Jae is great. This is coming from someone who has tried all the treatments in the book for a chronic psoriasis dealing since last 25 years. Nothing worked for longer relief. I gave a try to this KONA Acupuncture with less expectations. To my surprise, right after my first session, it did wonders to my psoriasis, energy levels. His consultation and giving you info about diet is awesome. It has been great so far, & I have only taken 4 sessions so far. I will keep you posted through my treatment.

This was my first experience with acupuncture and I have to say I have not felt so relieved of pain and tension in years! Jae explained the process throughout the visit, is friendly, and makes sure you are comfortable. He helped me understand the difference in his technique to treat the root cause not just symptoms and explained aftercare to ensure the results promote most effective lasting healing! I am so incredibly thankful to Jae and found his expertise, humor and professionalism adds to his deep care in improving the quality of people’s wellness and health. I very much look forward to my follow up visit and walking out feeling even more comfortable in my own skin than I did the first visit. Jae Kim I am forever grateful for your services!! If you are scared and unsure my advice is call or walk-in and have a conversation with him. I guarantee you will leave feeling like a new person!
