    I was looking for a good acupuncturist since I moved to GA. I had somehow found Dr. Kim's page and…read morewas reading his beliefs in combining both eastern and western medicine or integrated medicine. I liked everything he had to say. I have a severe illness and it got much worse when I move to GA due to the weather. I called to make an appointment on a Fri. I spoke with Jeanne who was very kind and concerned and had me speak to the doctor. They said that I really needed to be seen and that there first session is extensive for several hours at $350 or something close to that. It was in the $300's. So both Jeanne, who I thought was the office manager do it all type person and Dr. Kim's claim to fame was that he studied with Dr. Andrew Weil and follows his practices. He is very confident in himself so much so that he charges $1500 as a membership fee before you even have a regular session. And you still have to pay for every 30 minutes of anything you do. I wanted to feel better so bad and liked these people so much than we paid the $1500 we could not afford and make another session. It was another $50 I believe for that half hour session. Might have been more but I would rather low ball it. I was also driving almost 2 hours each way to get there I wanted to get better so bad. I did this for a while and noticed that these 30 minute were nothing like that first long Sat. appointment where they really focused on me. I was taken in a room by his assistant and usually laid on a massage table and had a machine basically a huge and way better tens unit put on my lower back, where I had siatica pain. After that I would sit in a chair and the doctor would pop in the door and put pins in my ears. This he explained is the advanced method. If you are not using the ears you aren't doing the best treatment. He was very confident to the point of arrogance. He was never in the room more than 5 minutes and sometimes he would lean in from the hall and put the pins in my ears while doing or talking to someone else. Now the assistant would tell him my issues so he knew where to put the pins but that just felt even more arrogant. He could not spend the time with you himself and assess the situation, he had an intern assess the situation and he put the pins in by her recommendation of the situation. Although I very much liked Dr. Kim and Jeanne personally, I felt charging a fee that is non- refundable before you even start seeing him is ridiculous. It would be different if that fee covered a certain amount of service but I was purely a "membership" fee. This is not a gym, it is a Doctor's office and if this doctor wants to be taken seriously than get rid of the membership fee and take insurance like other doctors. Pain Managements Clinics take insurance for Massage, Chiropractic work, and acupuncture along with the regular western medicine. After going for a few times I realized it was not doing much for me. I have had acupuncture for long periods of time so I know when it is working and when it is not. His procedure may help some but they did not help me and I could never get over his outrageous non- refundable membership fees on top of paying for every visit there after. If it had helped I probably would had sucked it up and paid it but it did not so I stopped going between the long drive and the outrageous fees. Also, the attitude the Doctor has that he thinks he is worth these fees for 2 minutes of popping his head in the room to put the pins in your ears. He may feel it is the best way but I respond better to actually having the pins put in my legs or back where I have the problem. That is when I have found it helpful. The time spent with the intern was not what I was there for and it was a waste. Why would I go to an acupuncturist to tell everything to an intern who will then go tell my aches nod pains to the doctor. There is bound to be thing lost in translation now and then. And then you get 2 min of needle in your ear from the interns description. Sounds like a money mill to me and I never went back and lost a lot of money as I did not go to that many session and waisted $1500+ daily session fees that I did not have on yet another alternative method for my chronic pain.

    I have received care at Emory Sharpsburg for 8 years. Dr.Hall is very good and has a great…read morebedside/office manner. They have a lab in the doctor's office so it's very convenient. Karen Phillips NP is thorough and sometimes listens and gives you direct attention ....often she seems distracted, angry, and not very happy. I have had unresolvable issues with her. She is passive aggressive and does not follow up with her my chart messages. She states she can't answer messages because she has to deal with more pressing patient issues. I waited three weeks for an answer to a very important issue and she accused me of not being patient after I escalated the issue to pt.relations. She Is not accountable for her mistakes and tries to blame the patient for her poor communication. Avoid seeing her if you can.

    Had an appointment today for 3:15 with Nurse Practitioner Karen Phillips. The checkin process was…read moresmooth and easy front desk staff very nice it all went downhill when the NP stepped into the room. First off when a patient makes an appointment they're not sure what's going on so it's your job to find out. Yes I have insurance. I tell her my symptoms with a little pelvic pain, urinalysis is fine so why wouldn't you examine me to see what else could be going on. She comes in the room at 3:44 she left out 5 mins later requesting the urinalysis but I wasn't done asking questions. I waited for her to finish the patient she left me to run too. I asked if she reviewed my chart she says "no she's been busy and she just got back" WHAT! This is where her attitude kicks in because as a health care worker I'm aware of what she should've done before my visit. She condescendingly kept calling me "mam" if you looked at my chart you would know my name. I asked if she could examine me because I don't have time to keep coming back for 5 mins visits. Well let me say no exam happened and I left very upset. If you want to be thoroughly examined don't visit this location!
