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.

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 have PCOS & while I have a regular cycle I knew something wasn’t right.I have been coming to Dr. Kang for 5 weeks now & she has changed my life. My skin is looking better, I have more energy, sleeping better, better bowl movements & overall health. My diet is great now I follow a more healthy diet fruits, vegetables, protein etc.While my journey with Dr. Kang isn’t over I’m getting better & better every week. To anyone who feels like they can’t find the answers & is going through female issues I recommend that you giver her a try.

I’ve been coming to Dr Kang for a few months now for various issues related to my hormones. Acupuncture and cupping has helped me tremendously with all the tension I was holding in my body. I was developing grinding and jaw issues from clenching my teeth at night and I no longer have to worry about that at all. My body is a lot more relaxed and my posture has improved. I have a lot more energy in the mornings and I also sleep better. With the help of the herbs, I also have started to lose weight. I’m very happy with my progress so far and highly recommend her.

I’m 46 and had been trying to conceive for years. After being told by several specialists I needed IVF with a donor egg, I turned to acupuncture in Atlanta for fertility and found Dr. Yu Kang.She created a personalized plan that included acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, and guidance on diet and lifestyle. She also taught me simple things I could do at home, like meditation, soaking my feet in hot ginger water, and using moxa. Dr. Kang is not only knowledgeable, but also very caring and encouraging, with a gentle touch that helped me stay hopeful throughout the process.After about a year and two months, I was able to get pregnant naturally. She also supported me during pregnancy and helped with back pain and swelling.Now I have a healthy son who is almost one. I am truly grateful and highly recommend Dr. Yu Kang to anyone struggling with fertility or looking for a more natural, holistic approach.
