I've struggled for decades with dandruff and skin problems. I've gone with dermatologist and they have never been able to help me. In my search I came across Dr Joo. I've been with him for now 3 weeks and already I am seeing an improvement with his treatment. But that is not all, Dr Joo has also helped me loose 11 pounds in just 1 week with his weight loss treatment. It was easy to follow and I did not starve myself or felt hungry. Thank you JW Health Care and Dr Joo. I cannot wait to see the final results at the end of our full session

I've suffered from varying degrees psoriasis for over 25 years. My only treatment for this condition thus far had consisted of Western Medicine (i.e. dermatologists, topical creams, steroids, etc.), and I found that these options were overall very ineffective, expensive, and as I later found out, highly toxic, as these products were actually making my condition worse over time. I was told by dermatologists that I needed stronger medicine (i.e. immuno-suppressants) but grew even more skeptical, given their numerous and dangerous side-effects. I called Dr. Joo, and he told me that he could cure my condition in just 2-3 months by utilizing Eastern Medicine. I was skeptical, but I had nothing to lose at this point, so I paid his office a visit. After a very thorough one-hour consultation which covered every single bit of my medical history and past, Dr. Joo developed his medial plan for me, which consisted only of 1) weekly acupuncture sessions, and 2) medicinal tea (two times per day). He also suspected I had a Vitamin D deficiency (which a blood test later confirmed), so I added a 5,000 IU Vitamin D supplement to my diet. Within 2 months, my psoriasis plaques were 60% cleared, by the third month 80% cleared, and now by the fourth month, are almost 100% cleared. The medical tea works by cleansing the body of the toxic accumulation of impurities (caused by diet, stress, environmental pollution, pesticides, medicine, etc.) and by reducing inflammation. The acupuncture works by redistributing the body's own energy to specific areas of the body to begin its own natural healing process. It was that simple. The healing occurred from WITHIN the body, and the skin healing followed soon after. I did not even have to change my lifestyle (i.e. diet/exercise). After having visited Western doctors for over 25 years, I am DUMBFOUNDED at their incompetency (i.e. not one of them ever even recommend a Vitamin D deficiency test, as should have been done), their lack of options, and their overly dismissive attitudes (i.e. stating that psoriasis was an auto-immune disease with no real cure, etc.). In my opinion, I feel that Western medicine is simply not properly aligned with focusing on treating the actual ROOT SOURCE of most medical conditions (why would they? If they were to cure you 100%, then the Pharmaceutical Companies lose out, doctors lose out, etc., and the whole system collapses etc.). Do yourself a favor; don't be afraid to seek out these types of alternative treatments for any of your ailments, especially if you feel like you've been under-served by Western Medicine and have exhausted your efforts like I have.

I was diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome, Chronic pain, Chronic fatigue and Edema in May of 2014. I also suffer internal heat that caused me to get blotches that burned all over my neck and chest (this was particularly embarrassing since I am fair skin) and a sluggish metabolism causing some severe digestive issues. I’ve been dealing with severe dryness (eyes, mouth & throat), constant pain, stiffness and swelling in my joints especially my shoulders, elbows, knees and hands. I have pain in my lower back and a constant throbbing in my right leg that starts at the knee, to the side of my thigh and to my lower back (this was every day, all day). I suffer from mental and physical fatigue to the point of not being able to do my daily duties (at home & work) as expected. I was prescribed medication by my rheumatologist but it didn’t improve my condition. After trying several treatments without any improvement, I asked my doctor for a referral for acupuncture treatment, as a relative of mine had shared how acupuncture helped his condition.
I began my treatment (acupuncture, cupping and tea blend) with Dr. Joo in October 2017. I am happy to report that since I’ve started the treatment I have felt much better. I have much more energy. My pain is improving. Swelling has gone down. The burning blotches and overheated sensation has greatly improved. I can use a sweater during cold days!!! My joint pain is gradually improving. I am still in treatment and I pray that I continue to make progress. I do understand that I may never fully recover but thanks to Dr. Joo’s treatments and therapies I can enjoy my life a little better. That in itself is a milestone for me.
Thank you Dr. Joo for everything you are doing to make my quality of life better.

I was in constant pain - lower back down through my right leg to my foot. I was unable to sleep more than an hour at a time due to the pain. Walking, siting, standing - all was difficult. The pain was unbearable and I opted for alternative medicine. I did not want only pain medication.
After treatments, I now can sleep through the night without waking up due to extreme pain. The pain is about 90% gone. Once I had the pain 80-90% of the day and night and now I am PAIN FREE 80-90% of the day. I was hesitant to take the medicine (natural herbs), however, I tried and am glad I did. The entire treatment package was well worth the cost and time. If you have pain and are tired of the western medicine - the pain killers, the cortisone shots, the thought of surgery - then try JW Health Care

JW Healthcare improved the quality of my activities of daily living, which ultimately saved my career & life. Dr. Joo and his wife Kelly are extremely knowledgeable, kind hearted and wonderful practitioners. The benefits of non-western medicine are amazing & should be explored by all.
In 2013 I suffered a traumatic dog bite injury to my right leg. A large portion of my thigh was bitten off. It became infected and I had a total of 8 surgeries, over the course of 10 months. Ultimately, I suffered permanent nerve damage and muscle loss from the injury. I also developed fibromyalgia after my injury. I was placed on medication I had to take daily. Over the course of 4 years, I gained 40 pounds as a result of the pain, stress, depression and medication. Additionally, I was no longer able to stand for long periods of time, which negatively impacted my career as a registered nurse first assistant for cardio-thoracic surgery.
At the recommendation of my Pain Management Specialist, I began to inquire about acupuncture & non-western medicine via the internet. As an advanced practice nurse, my colleagues and I were initially skeptical about the benefits of acupuncture and holistic medicine. I decided to try it after several months of research, coupled with the fact that I was getting worse instead of better on all my medication.
I began by documenting my progress using the pain scale and my intake of medication. Prior to acupuncture treatment I had consistent and persistent pain of 7/10 to my right leg, right hip and right lower back. I suffered from Fibro attacks and migraines one to two times a week. I was only able to sleep for about four hours before waking in pain. I was only able to stand for two hours straight before suffering an increase in right sided pain. I would take cymbalta 60mg once a day, gabapentin 300mg twice a day, lidocaine 5% patch once a day, voltaren 1% gel twice a day, and ibuprofen 600mg as needed.
I came to JW Health Care two months ago. My 1st appointment included a complete history and physical, acupuncture, suction cupping, acupressure, massage, and adjustment. It lasted two hours and after my appointment I was very tired. The following day I felt slightly better. Pain was more tolerable. Dr. Joo devised a plan for me to come once a week for treatment and drink a handmade tea of 20 herbs twice a day.
After the 1st two weeks my pain was down to 5/10 with a reduction of gabapentin to only once a day.
After four weeks I was taking gabapentin once every other day and my pain was 4/10.
After six weeks my pain was down to 3/10 & I was completely off the gabapentin.
After 8 weeks my pain is maintained at 3/10, but I am now off the cymbalta as well. I rarely take ibuprofen. I still use voltaren gel & lidocaine patches as needed. My Fibro attacks & migraines have decreased to approximately 1-2 times a month. I'm able to sleep 6 hours without waking up in pain. I am also able to stand for 6-8 hours without experiencing severe pain. I'm no longer depressed and I've lost 5lbs.
My symptoms are now well managed and under control because of Dr. Joo's plan. His tea helps me manage them internally and the acupuncture helps me manage them externally. I can't thank Dr. Joo and his wife Kelly enough. I'm finally getting better and regaining my life back. I'm 100% confident in Dr. Joo's practice and I fully intend to continue my treatment with him. If you're suffering from issues that aren't resolved by medication, then make an appointment at JW Healthcare. You won't regret it and you'll be better from it.

I have seen Dr. Joo for one month already for lower back and shoulder issues. Dr. Joo is incredibly patient, and kind. I actually look forward to my sessions, as i know I will leave relaxed, refreshed and feeling so much better! It is worth your time to consult with Dr. Joo for any issue you may have; his knowledge is phenomenal, and his ability to assist in any area is certainly worth your time. Now I feel less pain thanks to the treatment and the Tea! will continue going.
- Keiry R
I am 56 years old and suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis since 2005 and it had been manageable with medication alone, Methotrexate, Sulfasulazine, Folic Acid, now Gabapentin and 2-4 Alleves every other day. A few months ago my RA took a turn for the worse after a car accident affected my neck and spine. After seeing a Chiropractor for 3 months which is basically a tens machine on back and that uncomfortable roller bed for 20 mins, I was left with increasing pain. So I was then referred to an Orthopedic surgeon for cortisone shots to my neck, spine and shoulders with some relief to neck and spine and released after 2 months. During this time I started suffering from debilitating Neuropathy, sciatica on my left and my right shoulder started to painfully freeze up and I was put on disability in March after no longer being able to work through the pain. I decided to look in to other ways to help my recovery along and decided to try acupuncture, I searched around and decided on Dr. Joo's office after reading the favorable reviews and the proximity to my home. As my anxiety level had increased during this painful period I was desperate to find someone who could help but also nervous about the acupuncture. My first appointment was very comprehensive and Dr. Joo was very kind and honest about the difficulty of my case and that it would take time due to my RA, I was very surprised at the time and care he took with me and never felt rushed to explain my concerns. We started cupping to my shoulder, acupuncture on my feet, hands, stomach, lower back with acupressure and massage, Dr Joo is very gentle and I was at ease at all times. At 2nd appt. I was given a box of tea he formulated to my specific needs with more acupuncture, acupressure and massage that is never rushed. My pain level has decreased and I am able to walk better as my sciatica is almost gone and my Neuropathy is more manageable, I also sleep better and have decreased my meds. After the 5th appointment my symptoms have improved although I know I still need more time to recover. Dr. Joo has given me lifelong recommendations on how to better care for myself and I am truly happy I chose his office. Speaking of his office I really commend him and his wife on the relaxing atmosphere and the cleanliness and friendliness of it. I have to say I do not have insurance and paid for my treatment in full and it was well worth it, when you are in as much pain as I was in it is priceless! I know I will be back as needed and I highly recommend this wonderful Doctor.

I was referred to acupuncture for relief of headaches, neck/ back pain and also gastritis. I was seeing a neurologist who prescribed me pills for headaches (Topamax and Midrin) and Prilosec for gastritis. I hated the side effects of Topamax and decided I would give acupuncture a try. Dr. Joo helped me understand how gastritis was all related to headaches and neck pain due to stress and I also needed to change my eating habits. He is very knowledgeable and gives great advice. He recommended I drink the herbal teas and I did take two treatments: 1st dose was especially for headaches, and after a few days of taking it I felt great: better sleep, more energy, less headaches and less "fogginess"; 2nd dose of teas was targeted at treating the gastritis and I have felt definite improvement. I have stopped taking prescription pills and I've changed my eating habits and I feel great! Definitely recommend Dr. Joo!!! :)
- Susie L
Dr. Joo is an exceptional physician. He has helped reduce my lower back pain, with acupuncture. He is very knowledgeable in his profession. He understands the needs of his patients and is always ready to listen. Very sympathetic and compassionate to his patients health and pain. There isn't any other acupuncturist that I would be able to trust with my lower back. Very fortunate to have the opportunity to assist my sessions with Dr. Joo.
- Monica T
I came here as a last resort for my arm pain. I've had previous surgeries on my arm and have a constant burning, aching sensation that never goes away. Pain medication only temporarily relieves it. I am six visits into my treatment with Dr. Joo and my arm pain is diminishing. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the outcome so far. Dr. Joo is very professional, his office is clean and I am always seen within a few minutes of arriving for my appointment.
- Gary S
I came here after having a weird experience at an acupuncturist where they make you sit in a waiting room for 40 minutes with other people who have needles in them. Having said that, it was a relief to see that this place has their own rooms (which I think is the norm).
Dr.Joo has a very calm essence about him. When doing his assessment, he was thorough and did not rush. He didn't try to push other services on either, which I appreciated. I was treated for neck, back pain and arm numbness. I got the acupuncture, cupping w electro stimulation (which acts like a deep tissue massage), a mini massage and adjustment. I've gone twice already and look forward to my weekly visits! (Got a referral through Kaiser)
He also sells custom made teas for your ailments. Thinking of picking that up too. A bit pricey but probably worth every penny!
- Corinna M
Dr. Joo has been great to my mom.
My mom had surgery about a year ago, she's been on pain medication ever since then. She was sick and tired of having to pay a 30 copayment for doctors visit just to get a refill on the medication. Since it's a control medication we had no choice but to go every month.
We decided to try acupuncture and the herbs tea Dr. Joo offers. She's had been taking the tea for about a month and she no longer has to take pain medication. She takes the tea twice a day morning and nights. We are confident the tea has work for my mom as she has try so many other things and they have not work. We will definitely continue to purchase the tea from Dr. joo.

Amazing!!
I was in a car accident back in November and was suffering from bad bad lower back pain. I was referred to physical therapy but after some time I saw no difference. I was still experiencing lower back pain. PT told me the accident caused a misalignment in my pelvis but didn't treat properly. Anyway! I Finally decided to go back to my doctor and see different options to treat my pain. I was referred to acupuncture and it was the best thing my insurance did for me. I have been seeing doctor Joo for about 2 months and a 1/2 and it has been the best thing. During our initial consult he took the time to figure out ALL of my medical history, how I felt, where my pain was & made a plan to treat me. He explained that for the next three months the pain would fluctuate but would eventually get much much better. He found underlying causes that have been causing me pain for quite some time. This pain would make me cry during out first sessions as he touched to figure out where it was coming from. As time has progressed I am so pleased to say that I no longer cry and I am a firm believer in acupuncture, cupping, and electro therapy! Acupuncture doesn't even hurt! I barely feel it! I fall asleep during treatment and dr always makes sure that I'm doing okay! He is always so nice, courteous and respectful! If you're skeptical I truly truly recommend JW health, it has been a life changer. I am much happier than I've been because I don't have my back pain like it was before. It's still a work in progress but I am pleased and will continue to see Dr. Joo

I started acupuncture with Dr. Joo on may 30, 2016 due to neck, shoulder & knee pain. I was really optimistic about going thinking this will never work on me since my pain was so unbearable. I turned 50 on June 3rd with had high blood pressure, overweight & feeling miserable. I started taking Dr. Joo herbal medicine tea, which is the most bitter taste but I was determined to continue because I wanted to do right & start feeling better. As of June 21, 2016 I've lost 10lbs, blood pressure is now normal with moderate eating habits & portion control on my meals. I drink only water, no carbs, less sodium & no meat. I am so besides myself that I made this decision to give it a try & now I'm pain free & that I'm a believer in acupuncture. Thank you Dr. Joo you are the BEST because you actually care now feel like a new me!!!...
- Jeannie T

Thank you Dr. Joo!.

I was in tons of pain from my lower back. It was till the point that I would cry when I would get out of bed and I needed help getting up. I could not even bend over to touch my knees, when I can normally place my hands flat on the ground! I began treatment with Dr. Joo and after three therapies, I recovered almost completely!!! Thank God and Dr. Joo my back is back to normal again and I'm pain Free. I highly recommend Dr. Joo. He is very professional, knowledgeable and makes you as comfortable as possible. If you suffer from any pain, stop by and have him help you. You will be glad you did! :0)

Some weeks ago my wife was diagnosed Bell's palsy (facial paralysis). Medicine was prescribed, but as soon as she finished it she again felt the same symptoms. We were terrified, we contacted Dr. Joo and despite late notice he received us in his office. The treatment my wife received (acupuncture, acupressure and herbs) helped her a lot. She feels now energy and the problem was controlled.
Dr Joo is a capable doctor, very kind and interested in the well being of his patients. Recommend him without any hesitation.
- Hugo A

- Alison R
Best place ever!!! Have had chronic upper shoulder pain for the last 6 years due to severe muscle spasms. I also suffer from fibromyalsia that has caused me to have severe fatigue as well as a host of other ailments. Have seen so many specialist and doctors in the last 6 years with no help at all. Have taken so much medication for everything also with no improvement. I started seeing Dr. Joo about 6 weeks ago and I cannot believe what a difference it's made. Between the special tea you can purchase from him, the acupuncture and cupping, the pain in my shoulder has gone from a 10 to about a 6. I'm still a work in progress but no doctor has been able to diminish the pain I've lived with except for Dr. Joo. I highly recommend him for anyone suffering from pain. He is very friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. He accepts insurance too. Kaiser as well!!! Two thumbs up for Dr. Joo!!!!

To everyone out there who suffers from chronic severe migraines, I am writing this review for you (my first review ever), to tell you about my personal experience with acupuncture. I don’t want to make this too long so I’ll try to be as brief as possible. I’ve been suffering from severe chronic migraines for over 23 years. I’ve been on all types of migraine medication. When my migraines get too intense, I go get an injection for the pain. Recently (about a month ago) I was suffering from a 3-day long migraine. I went to “urgent care” to get an injection for the pain which did not work at all. I was so desperate for some relief that I was willing to try ANYTHING to take pain away, then I though about acupuncture and I Google’d clinics around my area. And that is how I found Dr. Joo’s office. I immediately called and he took me in that same evening. After that first session my migraine was 90% gone! I was completely amazed! During that first appointment Dr. Joo explained what was causing my migraines, and gave me a treatment plan. I’ve been taking Dr. Joo’s tea for almost a month now, and can tell you that my migraines have improved dramatically. I have had a couple of mild migraines since, but they are nowhere as severe or last as long as they normally do. I strongly recommend anyone who suffers from chronic pain to visit Dr. Joo. I am so thankful that I did!
- Patricia Loza-Gonzalez
I went to Dr. Joo with migraines, neck pain, upper back pain, constipation problems (I was going through some exhausting pain in my stomach) and felt always tired (after sleeping over 9-10 hours.) Most of the time; I felt exhausted and extremely tired. Dr. Joo recommended me some teas that he personally makes according to my symptoms. I purchase the teas and I noticed a big difference in my body. My skin has gotten better, my constipation has improved, I don't feel as tired and overall I feel so much better than 2 months ago, but of course his acupuncture services has also made a big difference in my body. I love the fact that he takes his time during his procedures and most important part he listens to you as a patient. He is the best acupuncturist in town. I highly recommend him as a acupuncturist. I feel great and I'm very happy with his services. I'm not 100%, but like he says, "patience and no pain no gain" I'm noticing a difference in my body and a happy with the results! Happy body happy life!

I have a rare disease called stills disease, I have gone to multiple doctors and still they do not have a cure. The only solution recommended by my doctors was to intake medicine such as prednisone and a form of chemotherapy. I refused to take these medicines because the severe side affects that come with the drugs such as moonface, fertility loss, possible failure of organs. So I chose to do this naturally with Dr. Joo. At first I had my doubts about acupuncture and doing things naturally but I was desperate for another solution so I gave it a shot . After a month of treatment, provided Dr Joo had given me a tea remedy that he had specifically concocted for my condition. I had regained about 60% of my strength through acupuncture and drinking his tea faithfully every day . I can honestly say that Dr. Joo is a great Dr., and I highly recommend him! I will certainly continue with him until I am 100%.

After being in a terrible horrific car accident and had started experiencing extreme pain from a lower disk injury and sciatic nerve damage so intense that it would make me so depressed and wince at even breathing. I was so feed up with all the doctors visits, prescriptions, injections, massages chiropratic adjustments, etc. that made no improvement, until one day I was so severe I fell down and couldn't get back up to even walk, that my co-worker suggest I go to this acupuncturist he know that was close by. I had heard from my ex-husband that he had been to one and it helped some.. I just couldn't believe that it was truly going to do any good and was skeptical since my ex was such a deceiver. But, at that point I just wanted to die so figure I had nothing to lose and out of other options. Dr. Joo was amazing and so caring that he seemed to feel my agony also and promised to do everything in his power and knowledge to assist me. Within an hour and a half (and he wouldn't stop treatment until I was able to stop screaming from the pain) I was miraculously able to stand again and felt like running. God has definitely blessed Dr. Joo with being a remarkable healer. He really knows his stuff. There is definitely something to this science of holistic healing because while I was under his care for my degenerated disk unaware to Dr. Joo, I had been suffering from infertilty trying for over 15 years to have a baby and during the course of taking the vitamins and tea he gave me, once my treatment plan of 10 weeks was finished and I had felt like a brand new person to my surprise about six months later I was pregnant. Thank you so much Dr.Joo.

I had a bad back injury that was also affecting my stomach and digestion system. I was referred to Dr. Joo after taking steroid injections and over forty sessions of physical therapy. He not only treated my back and my stomach but also noticed a prior injury to my neck and worked on that as well. After twelve sessions of therapy my appetite has improved and its been easier to be able to hold down food. As for my neck, I have much more mobility, less pain, and can can move my arms and shoulders with much less restriction, pain and numbness.. I recommend it for anyone in chronic pain or discomfort. Especially if you do hard labor or a constant activity. Dr. Joo also speaks fluent Spanish and is very organized in his timing and scheduling of his appointments.
- Hugo M
Visited for back pain, and numbness and have seen considerable progress! I have it infrequently now, and am pleased with my results. This has been my first exposure to both acupuncture and cupping and both serve their purpose. Dr. Joo will evaluate your condition and recommend different treatments depending on your preference and ailment. I would recommend treatment for those experience any type of pain, whether it be new or chronic. I've seen improvement on both my chronic knee pain, and my newer arm numbness.
I also must say that he is very accommodating with appointment times, which is imperative with everyone's busy schedules.

My name is Tracy Prudholm. I received acupuncture treatments from Dr. Joo. I suffered for over 4 years with lower back pains. After my first visit, I could not believe the drastic change in my back. For the first time, I was able to get a good night's sleep. To this day, I continue to receive treatments. I highly recommend Dr. Joo

Healing the way for me. I was rear ended in a car accident 4yrs ago and have recurring symptoms from the trauma. My back, neck, shoulders and what not in so much pain these last couple weeks and was just thinking of going to my regular chiropractor for a massage and adjustment. Actually my appointment is in 2 days but I was feeling so beat and really needed some quick help or the pain was gonna drive me nuts. I passed by Dr. Joo's and had to stop in. Best decision of my life. I'd done acupuncture once in the past and really felt I should give it another shot since I remembered it did have a positive affect, only this experience was far greater than I would've imagined or hoped for. They checked my insurance for co pay with my ppo, filled out one sheet of paper and he was able to take me in without an appointment luckily. Took his time to ask questions and get to know my situation better. Beyond the acupuncture, he had additional therapy which I didn't expect. If you have more then just back pain issues like; weight problem, sciatica and so on. Well to make a long and wonderful experience shorter said, when we were done I wanted to cry and hug Dr. Joo because of the relief I felt. I am canceling my other appointment and am gonna continue seeing Dr. Joo, working towards a more definitive program to help with my recovery. This first session was already a huge improvement and I can't be thankful enough.

I have Bell's Palsy and I went to Dr. Joo and I am getting to be like normal.
No more waterly eye and the dropping of my left side of my face is normal.

My mom has been coming here for a few months now due to severe migraines and after a few treatments she has been getting very few migraine flare ups, she has spent well over $4,000 in doctors appointments and medications. As her son I can tell you that this works. Yes she does get some headaches but they are small minor ones. I'm really glad to see a positive change, now she can enjoy going out more with out having to worry about a migraine.

I was suffering from a knee strain and the pain was unbearable. I was unable to bend my right leg and a family member recommended I visit JW Health Care. I visited this Dr. and after only one session of acupuncture I was able to walk normally again. The place is very clean and the ambience very relaxing. The professionalism is very inviting and I have recommended family and friends to visit. My whole family now seeks this place for any acupuncture needs. I love it here.

I was involved in a car accident 4 months ago, I went with a chiropractic for over a month with no results at all. Then I called Dr. Joo, he gave me an appointment right away I been taking about 6 sessions now the results are exceptional pain is almost gone. He is really good, efficient, professional and polite. I truly recommend him.

Dr. Joo is "the real thing!" I've been to numerous acupuncturist before, however, he is a true "miracle worker!' I personally went to see him for severe/chronic neck pain & severe anxiety/depression about 2-3 months ago, and I must admit, he is "life changing!" My body simply couldn't tolerate "drugs" (aka antidepressants) and I knew that I needed to really take a holistic healing approach. One day, after having about my 3rd dental emergency procedure within a month (which worsened my neck/jaw pain) I literally stumbled into his new office he had just opened (in addition to his Compton location) RIGHT NEXT TO MY DENTIST!!! He really does have "healing hands", I'd go far enough to say he is truly "gifted" and his technique is very precise. I'm feeling so much better now-a-days and can truly say that being under his treatment, following his instructions in taking his "customized herbs" truly helped me turn the corner in feeling so much better and filled with energy these days!! It's a process, but when you put your best efforts in taking care of your body and following a strict and healthy regimen by Dr. Joo, you will reap the rewards of a healthy body! I'm very blessed to have stumbled upon him and his beautiful wife, Kelly! By the way, Kelly is the esthetician, and keeps my skin looking radiant with her AWESOME facials!!!! I highly recommend him,..he is there to heal you & totally worth it,..at least, that is the case for me, thank goodness!!

Dr.Joo is very kind, takes the time to explain everything he is going to do before he does it. I didn't think that acupuncture would help me but ive had nothing but positive experiences here with Dr Joo. He's helped me deal with my chronic pain and I would recommend all of his treatments to anyone that is thinking about acupuncture.

Before I went to Dr.Joo, I had severe back pain and sciatic nerve pain due to a herniated disc. Within two months of therapy my back spasms and sciatic pain that constantly radiated down my leg began to subside. The acupuncture, cupping work great for pain management.

I went to get acupuncture about 5 times with another doctor and still had pain. I finally went to see Dr.Joo he did an awesome job after his 2 treatments i feel great. I highly recommend him to other patients.
