I started my treatment in December 2025, and five months later, the transformation is incredible. I am now completely free from the anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia I used to struggle with, and my chronic indigestion and allergies have cleared up. Dr. Kang is so easy to talk to and provided a full wellness plan including acupuncture, herbs, foot soaks and dietary advice ; that fits my lifestyle. She even gave me exercises to manage the back pain and stress from my work. While emphasizing the importance of outdoor walking and meditative breathe work. I even brought my mother in for treatment, and she has seen major improvements, especially in her recovery after breaking her ankle. We are both so grateful for the insightful care we’ve received here. It has provided us with a foundation that will help us for the rest of our lives, long after our treatments are finished.

She was amazing! I had a prolonged concussion with altering pain in both of my shoulders. She did acupuncture and cupping on me while also educating me on how i should eat, keeping myself warm, drinking warm water in the morning and overall how to take care of myself while at home. She does her appointments in a very peaceful room with relaxing frequency noises playing in the background! I appreciate everything she has done for me!!

I had noticeable difference in my well-being, my back used to feel tight excruciating pain now it disappears. I have lost 5 pounds in one months due to dietary plan as well as acupuncture, herbs and increased mobility and energy. Dr. Yu Kang educates her patients from day one and helps them to take charge of their health instead of passively waiting for the doctor handing them pills. She treats the whole body and not just symptoms.
