This was my first time doing a series of acupuncture sessions, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I've been really happy with the results--my neck pain went away completely. Dr. Kim was honest and straightforward about what he could do for my hip issue and suggested I also see a podiatrist. I followed his advice, got a shoe lift, and that helped as well. I truly appreciate his honesty, expertise, and genuine care for his patients. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Kim has a really calm, soothing & positive bedside manner. He is thorough with his assessments & holistic recommendations on how to improve overall health as well as specific areas of interest. I started acupuncture to enhance overall health & fertility on 9/12/25. After completing 3 weekly sessions, I conceived on 10/1/25! I'm now doing monthly sessions throughout my pregnancy. I love that his office accepts insurance, so I just pay a $30 copay each visit, for an hourlong relaxation/rejuvenation session. read more

Great experience all around. My first time getting acupuncture and I felt great afterwards. Definitely recommend

Great experience! Dr. Kim is very knowledgeable and I am seeing positive results in just a few visits. I found him because he takes my insurance and that's a huge bonus for me when so many acupuncturists don't take it. The drive is worth it! I'd recommend him to anyone who asks. read more

I have undergone a handful of treatments at MK by Dr. Kim and my experience so far has been great.

Dr. Kim is very methodical and thorough with his treatments related to my sports injuries. So far so good! read more

absolutely love this place! I came in for my very first acupuncture session not knowing what to expect, and now I'm a weekly regular. Dr. Kim is incredibly knowledgeable and creates such a calming environment. I always leave feeling relaxed, and I've noticed a real improvement in my mood and overall stability. I initially started coming for support with anxiety and depression, and the difference it's made has been amazing. I'm now continuing treatments for general wellness and will be doing a separate consultation to address some hormone imbalances that showed up in recent blood work. I'm also really grateful that MK Integrative Wellness accepts my insurance (it's made things easier) but honestly, I think I would've kept coming even if it were out of pocket. Thank you so much to Dr. Kim and the whole team. I truly appreciate everything you do! read more

After going to multiple massage therapist and chiropractor appointments, I came here due to an SI joint injury causing immobility and L sided back/neck stiffness and pain. After ONE session, my SI joint pain was profoundly alleviated and I am able to bend forward and grab both feet, whereas I was only able to reach my mid shins before. I have done 3 sessions in 1.5 weeks now and have noticed a HUGE difference. I am now raving about acupuncture to friends and family. Dr. Kim has amazing bedside manner and technique. His MA Lena is so sweet and accommodating too. Could not recommend this place more! read more

Dr. Kim has been treating me for sciatica. The pain was really bad, but the treatments and his recommendations for exercise have been so helpful.

Dr. Kim is thorough, detailed, great listener,. I am already seeing fantastic results. Highly recommend.

the doctor is very kind and knowledgeable and the office is clean and quiet. it is helping my neck pain

I would highly recommend Dr. Kim. He is dedicated and caring and very skilled. When I first came to him with a frozen shoulder, I was turning the steering wheel in while driving with one arm, my other arm was too painful to make that motion. Since working with DrKim for less than a month , I am back to being safe driver with two hands on the wheel - my shoulder is able to fully stay on the wheel when I turn it. My range of motion has improved quite a bit. Dr Kim is dedicated to see make sure I have the full range of function. I am so appreciative of his practice. Rebecca Speer Encinitas read more

I was struggling with secondary infertility (had four miscarriages in a year trying to conceive for my second), and I decided to try fertility acupuncture. I had weekly visits with Dr. Kim for 7 months and during that time I found out I had diminished ovarian reserve at 34 years old with an AMH level of 0.37. It was devastating news. I continued with treatment, cut out alcohol, caffeine, and took the recommended supplements by my fertility specialist and Dr. Kim for 6 months, and now I'm 4 weeks pregnant with what's looking like to be a viable pregnancy! It's still early on in my pregnancy but my line progression and betas are looking very promising. Highly recommend fertility acupuncture with Dr. Kim to other mamas out there struggling. He helps advise on lifestyle changes in addition to treatments to help you achieve the best possible outcome! Thank you, Dr. Kim! read more

When I tried acupuncture in the past, I never noticed any improvement, but after a handful of treatments by Dr. Kim, I noticed I started having less sciatica pain and less low back pain with more range of motion.

Dr. Kim is great. I just had my third acupuncture visit for chronic neck pain and stiffness as well as pain in the muscles around my scapula from a previous injury.

I was so lucky that I was referred to Dr. Kim's practice through my workman's comp claim. I had sustained an injury at work that greatly restricted my upper body mobility. The injury site was so tense and uncomfortable. But, with consistant acupuncture treatments by Dr. Kim the inflammation has decreased and mobility has returned. I have received acupuncture in the past, but never by someone who is so thorough. He also explains the treatment in detail so you can better understand its function, you only have to ask. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Kim for about a month. He is extremely knowledgeable about acupuncture, and he has excellent attention to detail. I plan to continue seeing him for a long time. We are lucky to have him right here in Encinitas! read more

Dr. Kim is very thorough and this is not just acupuncture. He also does some manipulation and gives exercises and stretches to do at home. He also doesn't let you leave until he's satisfied that you were helped, which is rare. Don't expect a relaxing laying on the table experience, it is more involved than that, but what he does is effective. Unfortunately I had to switch insurance companies because Blue Shield through Covered California is going up by almost three times next year so I had to switch to Health Net which offers nothing more than standard care and the cash rates for an appointment are more than I can afford. Lina at the front desk is very friendly and helpful read more

Dr. Kim is so kind, gentle, and good at understanding the anatomy and where to focus his work to improve whatever the issue is. My husband and I see him often for issues that come up and he is always engaged, focused, and seems to have magic hands. His office is quiet and serene and front desk is great at getting back to patients quickly. Highly recommend. read more

I came in to see Dr. Kim for my neck and back, which have given me problems for several years. He also was able to treat my knee and shoulder, which have been quite painful due to sports injuries. In a matter of 6 visits, I feel a drastic improvement in pain reduction in those areas. Dr Kim has wonderful bedside manner, and is extremely thorough, making sure I'm doing okay each step along the way, and addressing the issues I'm dealing with the most during that visit. He has pinpoint accuracy.He is outstanding...professional and kind. He has the true gift of healing. Lina at the front desk is very warm and made me feel welcomed and at ease. She was very accommodating with scheduling future appointments and always greets me with a smile. I very highly recommend Dr. Kim for anyone dealing with pain. He will work his magic, and you will get the results you need. read more

Dr. Kim is absolutely phenomenal as is all the staff there- Lina is a pleasure to schedule and work with. I have been struggling with chronic neck tension and trap tightness from two different auto accidents and couldn't find any relief. I have only gone twice and have found more relief here than anywhere else. I have done numerous acupuncturists, physical therapy etc. Highly recommend and can not wait to get back to a healthier & healed me. read more
