Body & Mind Acupuncture and Herbal Clinic

A visit to Dr. Kim is an absolute MUST for anyone who is dealing with infertility issues! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her knowledge and expertise about all things and conditions related to fertility and infertility. Before undergoing any infertility treatment such as IVF, IUI, I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Kim FIRST. I am 38 years old and, my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for over a year before seeing Dr. Kim. At the same time I began treatment under Dr. Kim, I was also undergoing evaluation by a fertility doctor. I had a previous ectopic pregnancy, and the fertility doctor recommended IVF, which my husband and I agreed to pursue. After 5 months of consistent acupuncture and some herbal medicine, and literally days away from beginning our first IVF procedure, I discovered that I was PREGNANT!!!!!! My husband and I were literally “saved by the bell”, or more realistically, Dr. Kim’s treatment! I truly believe that it was because of Dr. Kim expertise and rigorously following her advice and treatments multiple times a week, that I am successfully beginning my 5th month of pregnancy today. She has given me and my husband our “miracle.” Listen to Dr. Kim, follow all her advice, and have faith and patience, and you too can be blessed with a miracle. Thank you, Dr. Kim!

My husband and I had been trying for more than 7 years to conceive on our own. Two years ago we went to an infertility specialist and they were unable to find an actual cause for us not to conceive. Due to many factors, we decided on IVF treatment and by the time we were ready for the process (a year and a half later, since our last visit with the specialist), our success rate was lower for several reasons; including age and elevated hormone (FSH) test. In between our visit with the infertility specialist and a year prior to the actual IVF treatment, I was introduced to acupuncture and thought after all these years, it couldn’t hurt or perhaps maybe this will be a way to increase my rate of IVF success. I used/and followed the acupuncture, herbal tea treatment, and vitamin supplement regimen recommended by Dr. Kim up until the start of the IVF process.

I’m happy to say our first try with the IVF process was a success. When my husband and I consulted our IVF specialist, he seemed to be more excited than we were. For one, the number of follicles I produced on my own actually increased over the year and the quality of the eggs retrieved were excellent. The specialist attested that this may have been due to my acupuncture treatment.

I’m now 6 months pregnant and I’d like to thank Dr. Kim and her techniques for helping me to increase my chances of a successful IVF process. Unlike many Western practitioners, if you are willing, Dr. Kim also brings spirituality into practice. Therefore, with acupuncture, natural herbal remedies, and prayer I believe I’ve had an experience I’ll never forget and I recommend Dr. Kim’s services.

I wanted to thank you again and share with your patients the results of my acupuncture treatment when I was trying to get pregnant.

I had been trying to conceive and had been seeing an infertility doctor for about one year before I asked that doctor if I could try acupuncture as well. The doctor confirmed that I could add acupuncture to my treatment and that it should not interfere with the Western medications I was taking.

After about two months of acupuncture treatments by you, I became pregnant! The pregnancy went very smoothly and I gave birth to a full-term baby boy.

I believe that your acupuncture treatments helped me conceive and helped prepare my body for a healthy pregnancy. As you know, I have recommended other friends to you and they have also had success in getting pregnant.

Thank you for all your help and good wishes.
Sincerely,
Jennifer S.

Here’s our testimonial. Sorry for the delay. Every word of the testimonial is true.

When we first met Dr. Kim, on the day we found out the results of our first unsuccessful IVF attempt, we were both not too optimistic about our chances. After 4 years of trying, we had tried all standard Western medicine treatments as well as several elective surgeries. Every doctor had the same diagnosis: unexplained. Dr. Kim’s program seemed to be different from other treatments and we were committed to do everything she prescribed however unusual it seemed. The more we got to know Dr. Kim the more her treatment made sense. Dr. Kim was very sensitive and caring. We even joked that Dr. Kim cared more than we did.
After two months of treatment, we were getting ready for another IVF cycle, Dr. Kim noticed a change in my wife’s pulse and advised her to get a pregnancy test. When we did get a test a week later, we found out we were pregnant to our complete disbelief that after 4 years we could conceive our baby they way we always dreamed of. Our daughter is now 3 months old and we all are very thankful to Dr. Kim for all your knowledge and care.
Dr. Kim is a miracle worker and there is no other way to describe it. She made a miracle in our lives and we are very thankful and also blessed that we found you.
Thank you Dr. Kim for helping us realize our dream.

I spent 8 years trying to conceive with my husband. We tried everything. After talking to friends, I decided to try something new.

Dr. Kim develops her own recipe of chinese herbal medicine personalized for my husband and myself based on tests and surveys that we took. I didn’t believe or disbelieve that the herbal medicine would work, but we felt that we didn’t have anything to lose. We took the chinese herbal medicine for 6 months and then amazingly, I became pregnant with twin girls!! They are beautiful and healthy. We are a very happy family now.

Thank you Dr. Kim for helping us start a family! We believe the chinese herbal medicine was integral to conceiving my twin daughters.

I had been seeing Dr Kim for almost a year prior to trying to conceive. At first, I was seeing her to ease the pain of fibromyalgia. Once my husband and I decided to try to start a family, at 41 years of age, it was obvious based on my doctor’s advice that it wasn’t going to be so easy. I decided to go through IVF in order to conceive. However, I didn’t like the statistics showing probability of successful conception when a woman is over 40. So, I decided to take a holistic approach to conception. I’ve relied in the past on holistic remedies and not just on pharmaceutical approaches to health. So, I applied that to conception as well by seeing an herbalist and seeing Dr Kim to tap into the benefits of acupuncture for fertility. In addition, I kept a positive attitude and meditated to relieve stress and visualize a positive outcome. I believed that stress and lack of faith that I could become pregnant could hinder my success. So, I attacked conception on all fronts as they say.

I had gone through a couple of IVF cycles before conceiving, all the while seeing Dr Kim 2-3 times per week as a standard part of my care. Dr Kim was very reassuring and gave helpful advice and educated me on her technique to tap into the potential of acupuncture benefits on fertility. I left all treatments feeling more centered, relaxed and my body felt better than when I entered her office. I believe that all elements of my care played a hand in the fact that I conceived my twin boys; however, I think in many ways, Dr Kim’s treatments were equally important to the pharmaceutical intervention of IVF that I received (and with no side effects!)
