My boyfriend needed acupuncture after waking up to his upper left arm being numb from an intense workout session. Dr. Kang was able to set an appointment on the same day & on a Sunday when most clinics are closed. Parking was easy street parking & the session was slightly over an hour. Dr. Kang did a great job explaining the "what" and "why" of his acupuncture & cupping techniques, which soothed my 6 foot + 225 lb boyfriend who has served in war oversees & held back tears (of what could only be explained as pure joy for having a girlfriend who cared enough to suggest acupuncture, look for open locations on a Sunday, set the appointment, drive an hour to Dr. Kang, assist with cupping, & hold his hand while whispering words of encouragement during "our ordeal"). Thanks Dr. Kang and team! read more

Kangs Acupuncture Clinic - Yes! The knee & Achilles heel got needles, despite this being a left arm issue. - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very courteous and professional; I was really impressed that after a few visits, he explained that I could continue with acupuncture treatment but he suggested other options that he thought would be more helpful instead for my particular situation / issues! How rare and valuable, that honesty! Thank you! read more

Super rude Nice to your face but heard them talking crap about us as I was walking to their suite in the hallway. They're just after money, are not genuine people. read more

Unethical and legally problematic business practices: I made an appointment to see Dr. Kang this morning. I initially found him because he is listed as an in-network acupuncture provider with Anthem Blue Cross, my health insurance provider. I then checked the Yelp reviews, which seemed quite positive. When I made the appointment, I offered to share my insurance information with his receptionist before arriving, but she declined, and said, "just bring the card". I provided her with my insurance when I arrived, and then she asked me to come and speak with Dr. Kang in his office. He didn't express any interest in my healthcare or reasons for visiting, and immediately began telling me that he would need me to pay more money than insurance covers, with no explanation other than "they don't pay very much". I explained that I had found him listed as an in-network provider, and was happy to pay my co-pay or co-insurance, but had come to see him with the understanding that he is contracted with Blue Cross. He indicated that I would need to pay about double what my share would normally be out of pocket, if I wanted to receive any treatment. He was aggressive enough that even if we'd come to agreement about the insurance billing, I wouldn't have wanted to receive care anymore. I did let him know that I felt an obligation to alert Blue Cross to the fact that he is refusing to provide care at in-network rates, and that he should be listed as an out-of-network provider, so that patients when seeking affordable care wouldn't be tricked into making appointments thinking it would be within their budgets. Too many people don't realize that the refusal to honor in-network rates is a breach of the provider's contract with the insurance carrier, and so patients will basically wind up paying not just for insurance premiums, co-pays, or co-insurance, but for extra fees charged in violation of the in-network insurance contract. Healthcare is already too expensive for many patients, so this kind of practice is so harmful. Dr. Kang became quite accusatory and irate in response, which reinforced my sense that I wouldn't want to be treated by him in any case. He also claimed I had no right to tell Blue Cross that he is breaching his agreement with them, which of course is not true. Patients and insurance consumers absolutely have the right to request investigations on this basis, and are entitled to accurate network care information under federal law (e.g. the "No Surprises Act"). read more

I was visiting from San Francisco and I got super sick from food and vomiting & having diarrhea and really bad headaches. I couldn't drive or do anything. I was so scared and tried to find a acupuncture Clinic thats open on Monday morning. The yelp says it opens at 7am but it actually opens at 9am. I just walked in around 8:30 and it wasn't open so I called and explained my situation. Without having a reservation, they were kind enough to take me between other patients. The acupuncture worked in 30min. and I was actually almost recovered like magic! I've been to many many countless acupuncture clinics and I am totally confident to say Dr.Kang is very good and knows what he is doing. I highly highly recommend him for his incredible ability to heal people. Also, Mrs. Kang at the front desk is super sweet and nice. I wish I live in LA to go to this clinic regularly. I am very much thankful their help in my urgent situation. read more

If I could give 100 stars to Dr. Kang, I would! First off, making an appointment with him is SO easy and convenient. He always makes time for his patients and there is never a wait because he's always on-time. More importantly, he's my hero. Dr. Kang is an extremely educated and knowledgable doctor who is truly invested in his patients wellness journey and seeks to bring them healing first and foremost. I have gone to him for a number of issues from knee pain, to when I threw out my back and was immobile, to a sprained ankle. He believes in treating the root cause and every single time, I've been healed - thankfully without taking a bunch of medications + bills + waiting time that a Western doctor would likely give me. He's calm and patient and I trust his word above all, and luckily this treatment sessions are affordable. The place is clean, he makes sure to be very sanitized and sterile and spends time with his patients. It's not like he sticks in the acupuncture needles and leaves, he checks in frequently to make sure you're okay and that your pain is decreasing over time. The best part is, he has such good energy that even when I've been in the most pain, his energy is extremely uplifting and helps me mentally too! I try not to go to any other doctor as long as Dr. Kang believes he's able to treat me. It's the healthier approach, and always leaves me more than satisfied!!! read more

Dr. Kang's care is still superb and he has adjusted to the new COVID regulations. I continue to recommend him to all my friends and strangers... yes, he is that good. read more

Dr. Kang is truly a miracle worker! I have two herniated disc in my back and every once in a while my back goes out and I'm in serious pain. After trying other acupuncturist I found Dr. Kang to be the very best! He had me out of pain in just three days which normally would've taken 2 to 3 weeks. He's He was also a professor of acupuncture so he's super legit. He's very kind, really cares about your healing and spends a generous amount of time with you! If you wanna work with the very best go see Dr. Kang. read more

Amazing!! , I was trying to find an acupuncturist for my boyfriend and literally thanking the Gods for this clinic. Doctor (MR. hang) was incredible. Boyfriend woke up with a horrible tension/knot in his shoulder. Couldn't even lift up his arm or drive. MR. Hang did his magic & now he is new as ever. read more

Dr Kang is an amazing, wise, kind, professional and excellent acupuncturist. I first went to him because I was in chronic pain in my upper and lower back as well as having digestion issues. I was referred to him by my Kaiser Permanente primary doctor. Having been skeptical of acupuncture, I went to him anyway because the pain was becoming unbearable. I began to feel an improvement from the first session and by the end of all my treatments, the pain went away. If you are looking for a no-nonsense, receptive, professional, EFFECTIVE, and considerate acupuncturist, Dr Kang should be at the top of your list.... It is important to note that the underlying issue for my pain is that I have a structural issue (a curvature in my spine) and "traditional" treatments did not work in the relief of my pain. Dr. Kang was able to eliminate the pain. I would also like to mention that his wife runs the front desk is awesome, sweet, caring, and friendly, and makes the office visits very relaxing. From the phone call to scheduling the appointment to when you walk into the office to when you leave, she is caring and considerate. They make a great team so I am very pleased they are now a part of my team. read more

I had a lower back problem and Dr.Kang helped me! The problem I had has been getting better and can't be more grateful :) they are very friendly & genuine! I highly recommend this clinic read more

Dr. Kang is a miracle worker. All the so called doctors I've seen at Kaiser could not help me with terrible pain in my joints mainly localized in my fingers and feet. I was experiencing arthritis symptoms and after several blood tests which negated that diagnosis, the doctor put me on a short course of steroids which alleviated the pain but made me drowsy (go figure); I also put on a lot of weight during that single week. The doctor's order was to limit computer use which is simply not an option. I'm fairly young and rely on my computer for work. None of these incompetent doctors could find a cause so they did what they do best: deflected their incompetence by prescribing steroids rather than trying to get to the ROOT of the problem. That's America sloppy health system for you, a country where universal health care exist and where doctors not only do house calls but also genuinely care for you. But I digress, back to Dr. Kang, my savior and I am not saying this lightly! This person genuinely cares and was able in just 4 sessions to reduce my pain level by 85%! This is huge considering that I had been experiencing joint problems for 2 years! He also was able to trace the roots of the problem to low energy and poor circulation which makes SO much sense now that I think about it! My joint extremities tend to get cold and the stiffness experienced is definitely a tell-tell sign. Thank you Dr. Kang for actually caring! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to alternative treatments. He's also funny and young-hearted. A class act! read more

On a good sunday I had no choice but to seek urgent help. I usually stand pain but this one was a new type of pain. The situation: One day you are all bubbly and happy the next day you wake up you cannot turn your head in any direction. The pain was not on the neck but started along the two extremities of the skull. I was literally holding my skull with two hands to be able to stop the pain running from the back of my head to the neck. I tried everything for 2 days, ice, massage, creams, heat it was as if it was getting worse to the point where on saturday I cried myself to sleep (first time in years I cried due to physical pain) and on the chair because I could not even lay my head down. I thought I dislocated my skull, it was excruciating. Dr. Kang to the rescue: He was one of the only acupuncturist open on sunday morning. I looked at his background and said to myself he is going to help me. I called he scheduled me the same day and early. I arrived I was greeted by a lovely assitant. Gave my info and straight to the treatment. He diagnosed the issue JUST by looking at my movements which is unusual. Then we went for acupuncture and I thought I'd have needles in the neck but noo they were elsewhere which was also unusual to me. After following his instructions during the 40min-1h treatment I was able to LOOK BEHIND ME!! I wasn't even able to look at the tip of my shoulder when I came in. But you know what really got me emotional about Dr Kang and his assistant, is the way they just kept encouraging me and letting me know the type of energy I give off. I literally said maybe 3 sentences the entire session and Dr Kang just kept on giving me advices and impressions that were so accurate with the state of my mind right now. He is so extremely wise. I could spend hours listening to him. Dr. Kang will not only heal you but he will know how does the energy flow in and around you, where your mind is and more, which of course certainly makes his treatment even more efficient because he is able to pinpoint the disturbance in the body right away. I felt like I was in the presence of an enlightened being. They even celebrated my acupuncture sessions graduation lol. By the way the process took 2 DAYS and I am now fully healed like I never had any neck issue. The entire experience left me in tears of genuine thankfulness and happiness and I invite you to come to this office to experience it yourself. Words can't really express it and I am forever grateful to have been in contact with such wonderful wonderful people. Thank you from the depth of my heart Dr Kang and please send big hugs to your assistant. She is absolutely precious. read more

See all

I sprained my MCL swimming in the ocean when a wave crashed into the outside of my knee. It was so bad two of my girlfriends had to carry me from the beach to our campsite which was about 1 mile. As soon as I got back to LA from camping the first thing I did was come to Dr. Kang. After three consecutive days of acupuncture I could walk and bend my knee again! I have friends who have sprained their MCL's as well and they were all shocked I bounced back that quickly. I definitely recommend Dr. Kang for acupuncture! read more

Doctor Kang is simply the best , the first time I met him I was suffering from kidney stone pain , on a scale between 1 and 10 , I was at a 15... within minutes I was at a 1.... of course he couldn't remove the stone but he helped manage the pain until it finally passed , another time after I tweaked my back camping , he had me back to normal is a about a week ... if that's not enough he's one of the nicest people you will ever meet read more

Dr. Kang is fantastic. He has a no nonsense approach. He was able to treat me and my son who is 11 years old. My son had a bone spur and he said it could be completed and five treatments. I have a torn ligament and I have had three visits and I already feel like 1 million bucks. I love him read more

The Dr was very nice and the Acupuncture session went very well. I went to this clinic for my ankle pain. So far so good, highly recommend!

Dr. Kang was very kind and professional. Truly caring. He took such a good care of my mother who is suffering from chronic back pain. He opens on Sunday as well. I am planning to take my mother for acupuncture treatment regularly. He teaches at Dongguk University in Los Angeles. I highly recommend him read more

Unbelievable ! He is the sweetest, most knowledgeable and excellent at what he does 6 stars....

Dr. Kang is truly one of a kind. He is extremely kind and compassionate. My friend referred me to him for acupuncture due to chronic knee pain. He has been treating my knee and it has helped a lot. He is very knowledgeable and instantly knows your diagnosis internally/physically. I have truly grown to love Chinese medicine more than western medicine due to its effectiveness and because diagnosis is more unique to the individual patient. I highly recommend Dr. Kang to my friends and family. read more
