Dr. Kim is the BEST! I thought I had left a review here years ago but I don't see it so I'm adding this. I had a horrific case of sciatica. No one could help me. Finally, a trusted friend recommended Dr. Jae Man Kim. Dr. Kim did a thorough exam and told me that the problem was from three different issues, some from decades ago when I tore my hamstring running track in high school (resulting in scar tissue all down the hamstring), ten years later I had fallen hard while skiing (dislocated coccyx bone) and then issues with my IT band healing incorrectly after my hip was broken in a car accident. Dr. Kim said that each of these issues was causing pulling in different directions, which caused my herniated disk.

He assured me he would fix each issue and all would be well. He did, and I have been fine ever since! I sincerely do not think anyone else in the world would have addressed the root causes of my herniated disk and resulting sciatica. Everyone else wanted to either do surgery or cortisone injections. I refused and I'm so fortunate to have found Dr. Kim. I am grateful for the treatment by this wonderful, caring, knowledgeable, and talented doctor. He is a rare and special human being. Thank you, Dr. Kim!

Dr. Kim is the best doctor I have ever worked with. He addresses the body as a whole. I was at a point of needing to have surgery at 25 yrs old. I went to see Dr. Kim and within 3 months I went from having to sell my jeep because I could not take the bumpy ride because of my back injury to playing racquetball. I have seen him for 25 yrs to maintain my back.

Only once a year. And if ever I am sick the herbs he gives me lessens the time I would be sick. Just amazing that I have someone I can rely on to help me get better no matter to situation.

Have seen half a dozen acupuncturists over the years so have a benchmark for judgment. He was one of the least attentive, least effective, and overpriced practitioners I've worked with.

I have been seeing Doctor Kim for over 20 years and he is one of the best alternative medicine doctors I have ever gone to. He addresses not only back pain issues but hormonal imbalances, weight loss, joint issues, and last time I had TMJ problems and he fixed that as well. I have been in the medical field for years and have recommended Doctor Kim when Western medicine doctors would just prescribe a pill to cover the symptom. Doctor Kim would get to the source and fix it. I highly recommend him for Tuina, acupuncture, and his herbal remedies are amazing.

I was introduced to Dr. Kim about 11 years ago by a friend of a friend. I had chronic lower back pain that persisted for well over 15 years until I went to visit Dr. Kim! At that time, prior to meeting Dr Kim, I had gone to multiple Physical Therapists and Chiropractic centres but to no avail or any long-term relief. I was willing to try anything at this point.

So I met with him and he spent about an hour just examining me and my problem. He said that he would be able to cure me in about 5-6 months. So I drove all the way from Orange County to Burbank 2-3 times a week for 5 weeks then once a week for 2 more weeks. After which I no go to visit Dr Kim, only because I'm finally free of my back pain completely!

He was able to correct the issue in less time than he had told me and since then I've been leading a VERY active lifestyle. So fast-forward to today! About 6 months ago I introduced my girlfriend (now Wife) to Dr Kim because she had been dealing with hip pain for over 5 years. Again, same scenario! She went 2-3 times a week for the first 3-4 weeks and then once a week for 2-3 weeks.

She has been pain-free since and also leading a very active lifestyle! All I can say is if you follow his protocol and be consistent then your results should be amazing! Thank you to Dr. Kim & the staff at Harmony Medical Center

Ugh! I hate that I even have to give this 'doctor' a star at all! First of all, it took the person at reception an hour to find me in the system even though I made an appointment with them 2 weeks prior. Then, I was escorted into a room where I disrobed and was ultimately asked a few questions - by the same person at reception. He proceeded to mark my upper body with a pen to guide him where to put the needles and placed - and I'm not kidding - FOUR NEEDLES ON MY BACK! I'm thinking, this is a new form of acupuncture. 4 needles. Ok.

No music. After 15 minutes are up the 15 minutes included the questions asked, the marking on my body by the pen and the needle placement, I was told to dress and make another appointment. I had pain for the next 3 days. I kept the appointment because I was informed it takes time to get used to acupuncture. My next appointment, same thing. I was asked to disrobe, marked by a pen by the person at reception but this time ANOTHER PERSON DID THE ACUPUNCTURE. Who, you ask? Dr. Kim himself!

Who did the session the week prior? WHO THE HELL KNOWS? I thought it was Dr. Kim! He didn't even bother to introduce himself. He placed 4 needles on my back, 15 minutes were up, I was asked to dress and make another appointment. Only this time, to do another type of session which is not covered by my insurance and will cost $150 per session. THE HELL I WILL!

I will never return. Never refer him - to anyone I love anyways. And may I add.? My back hurt more than it did before I arrived. Those 4 little needles DID NOTHING! Bedside manners here took a back seat - like way back to the beginning of time. I will endeavor to get my money back!

He fixed my Honey's knee. He said he almost couldn't walk but that Dr. Kim made it where he can walk and he can't believe how much better he feels.

The doctor here is very friendly and interactive with his patients. The doc's name is Jae Man Kim, awesome person to get to know. Also the nurses are very friendly as well. Im surprised he uses his hands to fix problems.he uses the tui-na technique.very interesting. Parking not so bad cause there's always street parking for about 2 hrs, no meters.

Also the treatments can be pricey at times. I remember taking my mother there and each session was about 95 dollars but I believe its worth it. Her shoulder fixed from her car accident without going to the hospital and having surgery.
