I was looking for a good acupuncturist since I moved to GA. I had somehow found Dr. Kim's page and was reading his beliefs in combining both eastern and western medicine or integrated medicine. I liked everything he had to say. I have a severe illness and it got much worse when I move to GA due to the weather. I called to make an appointment on a Fri. I spoke with Jeanne who was very kind and concerned and had me speak to the doctor. They said that I really needed to be seen and that there first session is extensive for several hours at $350 or something close to that. It was in the $300's. So both Jeanne, who I thought was the office manager do it all type person and Dr. Kim's claim to fame was that he studied with Dr. Andrew Weil and follows his practices. He is very confident in himself so much so that he charges $1500 as a membership fee before you even have a regular session. And you still have to pay for every 30 minutes of anything you do. I wanted to feel better so bad and liked these people so much than we paid the $1500 we could not afford and make another session. It was another $50 I believe for that half hour session. Might have been more but I would rather low ball it. I was also driving almost 2 hours each way to get there I wanted to get better so bad. I did this for a while and noticed that these 30 minute were nothing like that first long Sat. appointment where they really focused on me. I was taken in a room by his assistant and usually laid on a massage table and had a machine basically a huge and way better tens unit put on my lower back, where I had siatica pain. After that I would sit in a chair and the doctor would pop in the door and put pins in my ears. This he explained is the advanced method. If you are not using the ears you aren't doing the best treatment. He was very confident to the point of arrogance. He was never in the room more than 5 minutes and sometimes he would lean in from the hall and put the pins in my ears while doing or talking to someone else. Now the assistant would tell him my issues so he knew where to put the pins but that just felt even more arrogant. He could not spend the time with you himself and assess the situation, he had an intern assess the situation and he put the pins in by her recommendation of the situation. Although I very much liked Dr. Kim and Jeanne personally, I felt charging a fee that is non- refundable before you even start seeing him is ridiculous. It would be different if that fee covered a certain amount of service but I was purely a "membership" fee. This is not a gym, it is a Doctor's office and if this doctor wants to be taken seriously than get rid of the membership fee and take insurance like other doctors. Pain Managements Clinics take insurance for Massage, Chiropractic work, and acupuncture along with the regular western medicine. After going for a few times I realized it was not doing much for me. I have had acupuncture for long periods of time so I know when it is working and when it is not. His procedure may help some but they did not help me and I could never get over his outrageous non- refundable membership fees on top of paying for every visit there after. If it had helped I probably would had sucked it up and paid it but it did not so I stopped going between the long drive and the outrageous fees. Also, the attitude the Doctor has that he thinks he is worth these fees for 2 minutes of popping his head in the room to put the pins in your ears. He may feel it is the best way but I respond better to actually having the pins put in my legs or back where I have the problem. That is when I have found it helpful. The time spent with the intern was not what I was there for and it was a waste. Why would I go to an acupuncturist to tell everything to an intern who will then go tell my aches nod pains to the doctor. There is bound to be thing lost in translation now and then. And then you get 2 min of needle in your ear from the interns description. Sounds like a money mill to me and I never went back and lost a lot of money as I did not go to that many session and waisted $1500+ daily session fees that I did not have on yet another alternative method for my chronic pain. read more

Been going for years and know other people who also have great experiences. I highly recommend this practice.

After being in chronic pain for four years with doctors, physical therapists and chiropractors giving up on me, this was the one place that was able to help. They are caring people that go out of their way to help every person in a specialized way. The cater to your needs and don't do anything that you are uncomfortable with. I was functioning on about a 7-8 on the pain scale per day and I am happy to say that through their integrative approach to healing, I am now 75% better. If that isn't a miracle I don't know what is! I recommend them to anyone who wants more than 5 mins with a doctor and who is opening to healing their mind, body and spirit. read more

Dr. Kim and Jeanne have been healing me for almost ten years now. I can't say enough good things about them. My regular doctors only try to treat the individual symptoms and never really listen fully. Georgia Integrative Medicine listens to the patient, gets to the root of the issue, and heals the body. Complicated autoimmune issues? They can fix it. Every time something goes wrong with my body, they're my first call. They've helped my body heal itself every single time. I can't imagine life without them. Well, I can, but it would be a pretty exhausting and painful one. read more

Chronic pain or any other chronic complex health problem changes one's life in every aspect of life. To get through these types of challenges requires hope, faith, and perseverance. I am thankful God put Dr.Kim and his team in my life. They have been an answer to prayer. After a severe auto accident, life changed in every way for me. After 2 years of utilizing conventionall medical and surgical approaches to my issues and 185 provider visits during that time, who all were doing the best that they knew how to remedy my problems; I was considered disabled and basically discharged from their care because I could not be helped, One well meaning physician trying to being open and honest with me told me that I would probably become depressed and would want to commit suicide and there was nothing that could be done for me. My future was to be a struggle with chronic pain and other health challenges. I was desperate for relief. A friend recommended yoga and referred me to her teacher. That person recommended that I seek help from Dr Kim as yoga would not help my condition until the pain was managed..I have been blessed to be referred to Dr. Kim and his Integrative medicine approaches to complex conditions. He has improved the quality of my life and my functionality beyond what conventional medicine predicted for me. I've even out lived an insurance company's actuary assessment predicting that I would be dead by age 62; I am now 65 because of Dr. Kim and his teams strategies. When I first came to him, I had nerve pain all over my body, I was on fire and pouring sweat, barely able to ambulate. I could not be touched, clothing hurt, fans and a/c hurt, I was burning and being being deprived of the simple gift of hugs, which I love. i couln't work, couldn't hug my grandchildren, or do any of my other normal daily activities and social integrations in life. I had tried pain management injections, Fentanyl patches, every pain medication one could image for two years. I did physical therapy for 3 years and medical acupuncture for 1 year. Dr. Kim spent an hour to understand my condition and my challenges, he made a plan for treatment which included conventional medical oversight, psychological support, nutrional support, herbal support, Tia Chi, LDN, multiple forms of acupuncture to address the ever changing and yet unchanging pain. Through the last 10 years he has helped me with conventional medical approaches, eastern and european approaches to health care. He is highly skilled in multiple forms of acupuncture and continues to expand his learning in medicine and acupuncture. His perseverance, compassion and skill have saved my life. I can now hold my 4 month old greatgrandson carefully and watch and listen to his chuckles and coos till i laugh till I cry with joy; i can hug and play board games or take short walks with my grandchildren using walking sticks, or sit and read or watch a movie with them. I can cuddle with my husband without it hurting me to do so. His perserverance, my perserverance and prayer have given me back the most precious part of my life that was lost 10 years ago... my family interaction and interactions with my friends. Any complex condition takes commitment and investment on the patient's side and the medical teams side. I have used Dr. Kim as my Integrative medicine physician for 10 years. During that time, I've seen him help people much worse that myself. To watch people come in who were barely moving leave without their support equipment and relief on their faces is such a gift to receive for all. He skillfully treats all the conditions listed on his website with care and compassion. I am in awe of his knowledge, determination, compassion, perservance and continual learning. He has a passion for what he does. I am grateful for him and his gifts as a physician. I am a registerd nurse and a patient. I highly recommend him. He is a competent and passionate healer. If you have a complex condition, never give up, there is hope and there is help at Georgia Integrative Medicine. Chronic conditions don't change over night, it took years for them to get to the state that they become, it takes perserverance to make it through the storm and a skilled team like Dr. Kim and his team to ride the ride with you. read more
