First Visit

Embarking on Your Healing Journey

At Medical Acupuncture & Nutrition, we understand that beginning a new healthcare journey can feel overwhelming. That’s why we strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel at ease from the moment you walk through our doors. Your first visit with Dr. Kang is an opportunity to share your story, discuss your health concerns, and take the first step towards achieving optimal wellness.

What to Expect During Your Initial Consultation

Your initial consultation with Dr. Kang will last approximately 60 minutes, allowing ample time for a thorough health assessment and the development of your personalized treatment plan. During this visit, you can expect:

Comprehensive Health History – Dr. Kang will take the time to listen attentively to your health concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. She will review your medical records, recent lab work results, current medications, and any supplements you’re taking. Dr. Kang may ask questions about your symptoms, lifestyle habits, diet, exercise routine, sleep patterns, and emotional well-being to gain a holistic understanding of your unique situation. This thorough review ensures that she has a complete picture of your health status and can develop the most effective treatment plan.
Physical Examination and Diagnostic Techniques – In addition to a physical exam, Dr. Kang will employ diagnostic tools unique to Traditional Chinese Medicine, such as tongue and pulse diagnosis. These assessments provide valuable insights into your body’s internal balance and functioning.
Personalized Treatment Plan – Based on the information gathered during your consultation, Dr. Kang will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. She will explain her recommendations in detail, discussing the underlying imbalances contributing to your health concerns and the timeline for your care.
Verify Insurance – Please bring your current insurance card to your appointment. We will need to see the card that includes the primary cardholder’s name and date of birth. This information is essential for us to verify your coverage and process any claims accurately. If you have any questions about your insurance or our accepted plans, please don’t hesitate to contact our office prior to your visit.

I’ve been working with Dr. Kang for about three months and I’ve noticed many improvements in my overall well being. She’s made various nutrition suggestions, too. I feel less chronic pain and more balanced and energized. Very grateful for her!

Amrin Siddique

My first visit to Medical Acupuncture and Nutrition—Dr. Kang’s clinic—was for my back pain. She explained everything very clearly and made me feel comfortable. After receiving cupping and acupuncture treatments from Dr. Kang, I noticed a great improvement. Earlier, I used to struggle with stiff back and neck pain, but after a few months of treatment, I feel much more relaxed and relieved. Dr. Kang is highly skilled in her approach, and the herbal medication she prescribed has greatly supported my recovery. I would definitely recommend her clinic to anyone seeking effective herbal and acupuncture treatments.

I felt much better after just few acupuncture treatment ls. with Dr.Yu Kang. My movement is flexible while before it was difficult to move. I like her approach with herbs nutrition. The foot soaking with ginger and orange peal tea helps my digestion and swollen ankles. Dr. Yu Kang is the best acupuncturist in Atlanta Ga.

Margie Wong

After 6 weeks of treatment with Dr. Kang, I feel so much better! Came in for back, knee, foot pain, & weight loss. Started regimen of acupuncture, cupping, nutritional change, herbal prescription & I have found more energy, more motivation to exercise. As a result, the pain is much more bearable & in general I am more relaxed and able to do much more. This lifestyle change takes time but I’m glad I found Chinese medicine. I love working with Dr Kang as a team to improve my overall health. My husband says I look much better. I’m going to learn more as a nurse myself about this holistic regimen to improve my health & my family down the road.
