Have had many treatments with Dr. Ko. Very attentive with great results. Highly recommend.

They are amazing. Came in with back pain and got the 10 treatment package and it was healed within 5! I will definitely be back.

I came to Dr. Ko after a year of struggling with severe diverticulitis, which had a major impact on my quality of life. Western medicine provided limited relief after taking two strong antibiotics for a week for each diverticulitis episode. Thanks to my kind neighbor who suggested I consider a more holistic approach, she recommended Dr. Ko. After a thorough initial consultation, we began a series of treatments. Within a week, I was already experiencing less pain without taking any antibiotics. I continued seeing Dr. Ko for nine months which reduced inflammation and strengthened my digestive system to help prevent future flare-ups. I now have a healthy quality of life. Many thanks go to Dr. Ko and his awesome staff for their wonderful services, special care and attention. I highly recommend Dr. Ko! read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Ko for over a decade. Over the years he has helped us with numerous issues including orthopedic, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal issues. On top of that, I have referred countless friends, relatives and neighbors who have all reported back that they have found relief by working with Dr. Ko. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ko and his staff. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. read more

The Dr is from a family in Korea that has been practicing accupuncture for decades. The staff is very welcoming and well trained. The Dr himself does not speak a lot of English but his staff do a great job of translating for him and answering any questions. Pricing is very reasonable as well. read more

After feeling overwhelmed by stress, I started to feel my daily energy level drop significantly and felt what I can describe as a constant cloud over my head and shoulders. I was introduced to Dr. Ko and I cannot express how happy I am that I was. After a few months of treatment and herbal medicine, I feel rejuvenated and what I can describe as signs of mental anxiety and depression went away. Dr. Ko is an amazing acupuncturist and his staff is always warm and welcoming! read more

I went to Dr. Ko a few weeks ago. My back kept tightening up so much that I couldn't move. I had a very physical show that I needed to perform in ... in 4 days!! I got three sessions before my show and I was able to move with no worry! I will be forever grateful. I continue to go once a week while my back fully fully heels. Dr. Ko and his staff are so kind. I'm grateful I remembered to go back. I saw Dr. Ko years ago when I was having bad TMJ. Pricing is very reasonable for the service that is provided. Thank you Dr. Ko! read more

Fixed my sciatica and horrible back pain after 10 intensive sessions. I honestly thought I was going to need surgery. Thank you, Dr Ko.

Upon my first visit to 120 Acupuncture, I received top quality care from the team and Dr Koh. Everyone is so welcoming and kind, on top of how much better I feel after each session. read more

I'm so grateful to my amazing acupuncturist and the entire team! After about 20 sessions for my meniscus tear, my knee feels so much better and I can finally walk and move normally again. Everyone there is incredibly kind, caring, and professional. Each time I went, they made me feel truly welcomed and supported. Thank you all so much for your care and dedication ,I highly recommend this place! read more

I could not have had a worse experience in this office. I rarely write reviews, but had to write this one. I went in with excruciating back pain after several days of coughing. The doctor asked me some questions through his interpreter and seemed incredulous when I told him I had no prior back pain and I just thought I had strained my back muscles. He put needles in my back, 20 minutes later he took them out and left the room. His "assistant"(?) watched as I struggled mightily to get up from the table and put my clothes on in excruciating pain. Minutes later in the lobby, I couldn't bend over to zip up my shoes and asked her to help me. She looked at me and said "We don't do that. I'll do it this one time. Next time, you sit there and do it yourself". I was dumbfounded. The doctor came out and told me I had a slipped disc and needed to come back many, many times. The next day I went to a chiropractor someone recommended. He told me I DID NOT have a slipped disc, just strained muscles. After several visits I was totally fine. Oh, and Dr. Donald Fluegel, the wonderful holistic chiropractor, helped me put my shoes on until I could bend over myself. He had no problem doing that. That's a caring professional. I don't know what they are at this acupuncture clinic, but I feel for all the people who go there and believe they have a condition that they don't really have. read more

I first came to this clinic because I kept getting sick every few months and wanted to increase my immunity and also help with my thyroid condition. After a few consistent visits with Dr. Ko I feel 100% better and now I have standing appointments for maintenance. The staff here is A+ and is always so considerate. They really make you feel like family and have the best bedside manner. Dr. Ko is so sweet and really knows his stuff-- so if you're in the market for an acupuncturist definitely check them out! read more

From the first moment I called to inquire if they might be a good fit for me, the staff was incredibly kind, caring, and informative. Everyone there is very knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. Ko is so attentive that he will literally come to the door after I've walked out just to say goodbye. I genuinely look forward to my sessions. Most importantly I have seen dramatic changes when he treats me. I have a chronic, genetic condition that is improving, and when something else comes up, like a broken toe, he fixes me right up! Highest recommendation. read more

Everyone who works at this clinic is very nice and they always greet you with a smile! Dr. Ko is very good at what he does and seems to really care about his patients. I've been coming here for a few months now and all of my experiences have been positive. I highly recommend 120 Acupuncture! read more

This Acupuncturist CHANGED MY LIFE!!! After having two surgeries on my right toe, one to repair a bunion in 2011, which instead, turned into a metal screw being put in the joint, causing me to have chronic 6-8/10 pain, not be able to walk properly, and having an RX for Norco (which I refused to take and simply lived with the pain) as a solution for my post surgical pain issue; In 2020, I decided to remove the metal screw; Both surgeries destroyed my right toe, I went to three specialists who all told me I would have to have a third surgery in order to possibly improve the pain and be able to be active again by doing some type of prosthetic thing on my toe joint.I had lost hope with these foot specialists and surgeons, and in ever walking properly again. I was taking Aleeve PM to sleep and Ibuprofin daily, to try to tame the inflammation and pain, and all that was doing was damaging my stomach and kidneys, pain was still present no matter what I did, even in bed when laying down to sleep it was a 6/10 constantly, a stinging and stabbing type of pain. A month ago, I was stuck in Studio City due to a car issue, and while waited I saw this Acupuncture Clinic, and decided to walk in there and ask about their services. They were very welcoming and provided a consultation with Dr. Ko right away; I ended up having a treatment right then and there, and I kid you not, for the first time after 12 years, I felt true relief from that chronic pain, and it felt like a bunch of knots and lumps had been released from the joint! My toe even looked more straight, after the very first treatment. I was so pleased that I paid for the 10 treatments in advance, and am on my 8th treatment today. I have been walking again, instead of driving, I can exercise and sleep without any need to take NSAIDS since my first treatment. My toe is mobile, the lumps around it are vanishing, it looks and feels just like my healthy toe, on the left foot!! It is truly a MIRACLE! Before I found this Acupuncturist I was considering chopping my toe off and adding a prosthetic toe, if that was going to solve the constant pain I had, and the inability to walk. Finding Dr. Ko has changed the course of my life because now I can do things I had given up on, such as walking and exercising, which was causing me to feel depressed and unhealthy. I am going to use this Acupuncturist to help me with my health problems from now on. I feel like I found a true GEM in Studio City. THANK YOU DR. KO AND OFFICE STAFF FOR CHANGING THE COURSE OF MY LIFE AND REMINDING ME AGAIN WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE PAIN FREE! (It had been over a decade since I felt like my right foot was a normal pain free foot). read more

The place is extremely clean, and warm welcoming. They are super nice and definitely Coming back again!! read more

My wrists and shoulders are always uncomfortable due to occupational diseases, so I often visit acupuncture clinics in Korea, and I trusted in oriental medicine. After immigrating to the U.S., I visited some acupuncture clinics with as much skills and services as Korea. Finally, I found this place!! The experience and skills of Dr. Ko were undoubtedly perfect. Moreover, the kindness and integrity of all the staff touched me once again. Recently, I had a car accident, and I would like to thank Dr. Ko and all staff for their concern and care for my health and insurance, just like my job. This is my first time writing a review, and I don't know where to express my gratitude, so I leave it here. I hope everyone is treated to the pain and heart here. 120 Acupuncture Clinic is 100 out of 100! NO CAP :) read more

Dr. Ko is kind, caring, and an absolute GENIUS when it comes to acupuncture and getting you back up and running. He has helped me so much with my various health issues.

From the moment I walked into the clinic I knew I was in the right place. Dr Ko and his staff are friendly, professional and most importantly, addressed my issue and for the first time in months, I am pain free.

I was experiencing pain in my neck. I couldn't sleep very much and when I did, I'd wake up in pain. The pain lasted all day and all night. I tried over the counter meds, didn't work - then one morning (after waking up nearly in tears from pain), I decided I'd give acupuncture atry for the first time. My hubby found the office and after the first session, the pain reduced to about 60-70%. It was such a relief! Dr. Ko and his staff spoke to me to discuss my issues before my first session. I felt heard and they made me feel extremely comfortable. After my second session, the pain was at about 30%. My quality of life is better after each session. Today, I've had my third sessions and I'm feeling like a brand new person. I've already recommended acupuncture to family and friends and will continue to do so because it works. I'm excited to continue my journey with Dr. Ko and his staff, as I tend to experience lower back pain as well. I get excited for my sessions because I know I'll feel better after. One major plus that I neglected to mention is they give you instructions on what to do AFTER your session. Stay warm, keep calm, no exercise. I've heard from others that their acupuncturist hasn't always told them about after care. Additionally, I'm very happy with their level of cleanliness. Due to an underlying condition, I can't get a COVID or flu shot. The staff starts masks and clean everything thoroughly. Session number three done and I'm still amazed at how great I feel. I'm so glad my hubby found them, everyone in the office is top notch! read more

120 Acupuncture Clinic - Dr. Ko is fantastic! - Acupuncture Near Me - Studio City, California

Don't EVER go here. Dr. Ko put my husband under a heat lamp for back spasms and gave him second degree burns!!! He stuck some needles in him, put a heat lamp very close and left the room. When he came back 25 mins later and my husband told him that it was really hot and uncomfortable his assistant said "you should have told me". How? He left the room, closed the door, left my husband butt naked head down on a table with a heat lamp very close to him. How was he supposed to tell him? He didn't come and check on him once! My husband had to go urgent care and then the dermatologist to deal with the burns. I had to dress his wounds for two weeks! To be fair, he did reimburse my husband for the treatment and the cost of the dermatologist and urgent care, but quite frankly we should have sued him given the harm he caused him. I had to change his bandages twice a day so that he did not get an infection. Dr. Ko is dangerous. Go to a qualified acupuncturist that a)speaks English b) abides by the Hippocratic oath of "above all do no harm". My husband has been permanently scarred, both figuratively and literally. A year later the marks are still there. AVOID THIS MAN. . . . read more

I found this clinic through my insurance and heard positive reviews. Ten years ago, acupuncture was recommended to me by a few friends. And I disregarded their suggestion because I didn't believe it was real nor effective. And it also came up five years ago from my therapist. Again, I was reluctant and eventually decided against trying it. That changed when I did some reading online and also realized that I didn't really have anything to lose. I tried medication, exercise, yoga, and meditation. None were really helpful. I also went to specialists and spend so much time trying to help address my issues with emotional and physical well being. It's been one month since I've started treatment and here's what I can share: - I wish I did it sooner and was so foolish for waiting - it's not painful at all. It feel like a toothpick is gently pushing on your skin. - the 10-15 minute session is relaxing and peaceful. It's quiet and warm, and the office has a comforting and calmness that is really pleasant - the benefits to me are noticing improved mood and being more stable (not bouncing all around), and I've also felt physically more energized and less lethargic and less tired. - the main issue I'm working to treat is still prevalent but it's definitely less terrible than it was. And I know acupuncture is the cause of the improvement because I haven't changed anything else in my life The other thing I'd like to share is the office staff are two friendly ladies who are welcoming, cordial, and friendly. Dr Ko is also very kind and gentle. He has limited abilities speaking English, but the staff is always translating and communicating. My first visit was powerful because he seemed to understand me and my issues without me having to say anything. I felt a good connection from the start. If anything, I hope you'll at least consider acupuncture and that this helps encourage you to try it. Whether or not Dr Ko is right for you is a matter of your personal experience. But I do think you'll be treated respectfully and that your issues will be given the care and attention you want. read more

Doctor and staff are beyond rude. They do not care about their patients or the way that they speak to them.

I have been going to doctor Ko for a few months now and I can honestly say he has changed my life. I suffered from terrible painful cycles every three weeks and weight gain due to hormonal imbalance. He told me it will take a few months and now, after years of suffering my cycles are regular with very little to no pain and I've lost 7 pounds. My friends all commented on my weight loss and many are now going to him themselves to address numerous issues. He has also helped me with anxiety and chronic headaches. really cannot Recommend him enough! Thank you Dr. Ko. read more

I love this accupuncture clinic. Dr. Ko is super knowledgeable and educated in the field of accupuncture. His office staff are the best. Jinnie, the office manager, has been so efficient with dealing with insurance issues. She's also very kind and positive. I have been going here on and off for 1.5 years for chronic neck pain. I had spinal fusion years ago but still have reoccurring neck and shoulder pain. Accupuncture has helped me so much. At first I went twice a week and then once a week. Now I'm on maintenance and I like to go once every 10 days. I have been to other accupuncture doctors in Santa Monica and Studio City but Dr. Ko is the best! read more

I have been wanting to go to an acupuncturist for awhile but had been very nervous. My friend recommend I go to 120 acupuncture clinic. I was very hesitant but glad I decided to go. The acupuncturist was very friendly, knowledgeable and even a little funny. She did a very thorough assessment and put my worries at ease. She goes through all the modalities available like acupuncture, acupressure and cupping and she helps you choose what works best for your pain. I have been having a lot of lower back pain lately and we decided acupuncture would be best. I felt immediate results and definitely plan to continue this therapy. read more
