Kimberley Woo is amazing!! Where do I start? I have seen Kimberley over the years for acupuncture while pregnant, for stress relief, and for pain/headache from acute injury. The result is always the same: she is incredibly thorough, friendly and professional...and I get better. Kimberley reminds me of what a village doctor would be like from years ago. She truly cares about her patients and is very individualized with her treatment. She may ask me about diet, sleep, stress, pain, etc, any factors that may be contributing to what's going on. Her holistic approach is incredibly thorough while still efficient, and in my experience, the results speak for themselves! I am so grateful for her work and feel lucky to have such a skilled and compassionate practitioner here in North County, my village :) :) Highly recommend! read more

She improved my morning sickness!! I went to see Kim during my first trimester and she took such great care of me I was able to reduce my need for medications. She always makes it easy to schedule and is flexible. I'm so glad to have found her! I plan to continue care through the rest of my pregnancy. Such a gem! read more

Kimberley Woo, DAOM Dipl.OM EdD - Acupuncture points on a model for educating patients - Acupuncture Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I've taken my teen daughter to Kimberly Woo for many years and for multiple ailments, most recently headaches. Her office is warm and welcoming, just like her. She consistently takes the time to listen thoroughly to what my daughter is feeling, makes thoughtful recommendations and explains her ideas and approaches in ways that we can understand. In addition to acupuncture and cupping, she has helped us with allergy testing, dietary suggestions and taught us about moxibustion. She is easy to communicate with and works with our schedule to make sure we can get in for appointments when needed. She truly cares about her patients and it shows. We feel lucky to have found her! read more

Kimberley Woo is very friendly, but I felt she was too inconsistent and disorganized to feel comfortable. The biggest issue was cleanliness, I saw signs that the sheet hadn't been cleaned in a while. There was trash that hadn't been cleaned up. She keeps the mylar blanket on the floor and steps all over it and reuses it. This was too much for me to bear. Also, she spends too much time chit chatting, and so the actual acupuncture time ends up only being about 15 minutes. I'd rather have the needles in longer and less chit chat. read more

Dr. Kim is the BEST! I am so lucky and glad that I found her in 2020. She has now helped me during two successful IVF rounds - I went to her both times before my embryo transfers and I am very confident her acupuncture treatments on me were part of my success both rounds. I have also gone to her for some pregnancy related nasal congestion and acupuncture helped for that as well! I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Kim to anyone. She is friendly, sweet, experienced, knowledgeable/smart and you can really feel how much she cares for her patients. She is also very easy to get ahold of via text or phone - I really appreciate this! Her office is also very relaxing, clean and tranquil. I always leave feeling refreshed. Look no further than Dr. Kim! 10/10 experience! read more

Kimberly is the best! Kimberly is so attentive, intuitive while being the best healer!

After suffering with chronic bursitis in my right hip for over a year, and trying so many different ways to deal with it, I sought out the help of Dr. Kimberly Woo. My husband was already having success with her for a spinal pain issue. I had never tried acupuncture but I wasn't ready to face one more night of no sleep and all that pain. I don't like shots of chemicals, I don't like taking medicines that are not natural so this was a big adventure for me--also I am afraid of needles. I was stunned during the first session at how relaxing it was. I really liked that Kimberly explained everything to me before we went through it. I was also stunned to realize I was completely without pain by the time I came off the table. I wanted to cry because it had been so long since I had been free of it. I had three full sessions with her altogether and am confident that I will continue without pain now. I loved learning about this ancient medical process and continue to be amazed at her skills at eradicating pain. All without pills or chemicals. I'll never be afraid of her needles. She even taught me two excellent yoga type stretches to do at home. Her offices and treatment rooms are immaculate, beautifully designed and calming. Her open friendly smile puts you at ease right away. Payments were easy to make and very reasonable! She stays in great touch by phone or texts and scheduling is a breeze. I highly recommend her truly professional expertise, top quality, and first rate treatments. I have a friend for life that I already enjoy telling everyone about. If you are in pain, call her---- Just an incredible human being. read more

I really appreciate Dr. Woo's attention to detail. She took lots of time to listen to me and deeply understand what I was feeling. I felt that she truly cared and wanted to help. As I appreciate learning, she went the extra length to explain both the "why" and the treatment to me. Highly recommend! read more

My son is a college baseball pitcher, he was experiencing back pain, to the point that he was having to sit out, we tried EVERYTHING!! MRI showed little to no cause, we tried PT, lasers, stretching programs, cupping, Chiro, everything short of surgical intervention. Everything calmed the inflammation but nothing seemed to stop it from flaring up again. We reached out to Kim. He did two acupuncture treatments and she recommended and sold us some natural herbs for inflammation. Well, his pain is gone and hes back to pitching!! Je even got a scholarship to play at a high level school next year!! THANK YOU, as a by product this mamma can sleep again too!! read more

Acupuncture by itself is a wonderful treatment. Dr Kimberly Woo will give you the best possible experience. I started coming to her office in 2018 for neck pain. She will patiently listen to all your needs and concerns, before treatment. Kimberly has a deep understanding in Chinese medicine and is extremely effective in her field. I have had positive results from all my treatments with Kimberly, and will always be my only choice for acupuncture treatments. read more

I had a lot of pain on the left side of my neck. My neck was very stiff and I felt a slight pinch near my spine. I had limited movement towards my left side and I was having a very tough time just doing regular activities. I went to a chiropractor for the first time and got an adjustment, but it didn't really help me with my pain. Luckily, Kim was able to help me solve my problem. I had never done cupping before, but she informed me on what it does and how it works, I was eager to get started. The process is very simple, and not painful in any way. The cups remained in the area where I was experiencing pain for about 15 minutes, and then Kim also massaged the area afterwords. At first I was a little skeptical. Although I wasn't expecting immediate results, I didn't see any sign that I was getting better that day. It wasn't until I fell asleep that night and woke up the next morning that I experienced just how amazing cupping is. A good part of the pain was gone. I had regained some mobility, with most of my mobility being back by the end of the week. It was truly amazing how quickly it was able to heal my neck. I'd like to thank Kim for being so helpful and helping out someone who was in a lot of pain! I highly recommend going to Kim if you are experiencing any issues like mine! read more

Dr. Woo is amazing! If you want to address the underlying cause of your health issue(s) while addressing uncomfortable or persistent symptoms, you MUST see Dr. Kimberley Woo. As a Natural Health Practitioner, I know the best approach to healing is a multifaceted holistic approach that will afford the highest therapeutic result. I recently recommended a client with lower kidney functions who wanted better, faster results, to make an appointment with Kim. After just a few treatments she was thrilled to see marked improvements in her labs. I injured my shoulder working out, during our stay at home order, during the current Covid19 pandemic. In contacting Kim, she advised me on the use of the ancient medical practice of cupping. After ordering the recommended Chinese therapy cups, Kim offered a telemedicine appointment with very specific instruction for their use. Finally, after weeks of discomfort and limited mobility, because Kim's instructions and recommendations, the use of cupping, dispelling stagnation, loosening the muscles, and encouraged blood flow to the injured area, I saw a vast improvement within days! I'm very grateful for the wonderful benefits of Kim's acupuncture treatments, one of which I refer to as "Velvet" effect. The biochemical changes from Kim's treatment stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being which has become a vital component to my maintaining a healthy balance. We don't always have control over what happens in our life, but we do have control over how we deal with the resulting stress it may cause and how to prevent the negative affects stress has on our physical and mental health. Kim combines her immense knowledge and experience of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, with her truly gifted intuitive healing abilities to provide her patients with incredible healing experiences. If you are establishing partnerships with health care professionals to improve your health, want to address a health concern, or be proactive in maintaining a healthy active lifestyle, you want Dr. Kimberley Woo on your team! read more

As an RN for 17 years I was very skeptical about what some needles can do for my chronic pain. I had MRI, xray, steroid shots and 2 specialty doctors visits and no one was able to help me. I called kim, she was able to fit me in that week. She took the time to listen and ask me questions. I fell asleep during the treatment! I was shocked! Pain improved that day!! I could not believe it. Pain was almost completely gone within 3 treatments. She does magic. I highly recommend. If you are dealing with pain, chronic issues, and stress you NEED to see her. read more

I had a painful injury to my I.T. Band (outer leg between hip and knee). After many weeks of trying the usual OTC remedies with no success, I remembered that I had experienced relief with acupunture for other pain in the past. I searched on YELP for a practictioner near me and chose Dr. Woo based on favorable reviews. After 3 sessions my pain is almost complete gone. Kimberley is not only very skilled, she is incredibly friendly and supportive. read more

I was dealing with acute pain that was keeping me up at night. My primary care physician told me to take NSAIDs. I felt that there had to be a better solution and that's what lead me to Kimberley Woo. Kimberley is not only an expert in acupuncture, she brings an academic approach to understanding her patients' needs. She is highly intelligent, deeply compassionate and empathetic. After Kimberley's expert care, my pain was gone. I'm grateful for Kimberley Woo and recommend her highly. read more

The value of a connection and the best of help from a professional of acupuncture has resulted in feelings of increased comfort, reduced aches and more ability to enjoy life as it comes. I look forward to the reduction of stress and the joy of the time spent quietly having the acupuncture and my mind work to improve the energy and lay out the steps I need to reach my next goal. read more

Dr. Chen is wonderful, very knowledgeable and kind. My visits for acupuncture for my right knee have been very helpful for pain control, combined with herbal massage. I like the soothing office environment and can only recommend Dr. Chen to anyone seeking a different approach to pain control than painkillers. read more

Stressful life? Looking for a top notch acupuncturist? Go see Kimberley Woo!! I have seen Kimberley for about 5 years now to help me deal with the stress and strain of my life and my frequent traveling from the east coast to the west and back. She started as the acupuncturist for my aging parents to help with their aches and pains, but I quickly realized that she was just what I needed. Now with the even higher amounts of stress due to the Pandemic, I would really be unable to function without her treatments. And her attention to cleanliness and Covid protocols takes away the additional stress I would feel seeking treatment right now. 5-stars plus!! read more

I went to Kim on a Monday with sciatic-like pain I had for months. Pain that kept me from sleep, walking, exercise. Nothing had helped. I had never been to an accupuncturist before. She had me due a few stretches then used cups and needles. I noticed the needles that went into my pained leg really hurt to go in. My 11 year old son was with me and he asked her lots of questions, she patiently and graciously answered each one. She was masked the whole time by the way. By Wednesday of the same week my pain was gone. Gone. She put needles in the same leg and I felt no pain at all! I'm being completely honest here. I have nothing to gain. This was a month ago. I still have had no pain. My husband is going today for pain he has had for several months in his shoulder and pelvis. He has been a soccer player his whole like and never tried accupuncture. I"ll update after. Though remember, like anything related to the human body, results may vary. But I hope in his case it doesn't. read more

Kimberly Woo is amazing! She was able to assist me with a rash, that hung on for an extended period of time. Her treatments pulled the heat out, and stopped the extreme rash and itching! She was able to get rid of it in 3 treatments! I recommend seeing Kim! Thanks so much! read more

Excellent acupuncturist! Highly recommend Dr. Woo! She listens to you and treats with great care.

Dr. Woo is amazing. I was visiting from out of state and had a terrible migraine. She rearranged her schedule to fit me in immediately. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and my headache was gone the next day. I highly recommend her. read more

My son (9 years old) had a pull to his neck and was slow to recover, pulling his head to the side. I had treatment for a foot injury in the past with Kimberley Woo and have a high regard for her knowledge, care and skill. She also treated my husband as he recovered from the diagnosis of Celiac disease. She not only educated our son as she explained the injury after taking a good medical history, but she also put him so at ease that he was willing to try acupuncture to help with the healing. For a kid that freaks out at even the mention of a flu shot, I was really impressed. 17 points later (they counted together) he was relaxed and smiling. Kimberley is amazing with both adults and children. read more

Kimberley Woo does wonders!! I am a firm believer with the combination of Eastern medicine with Western and Mrs. Woo takes this approach into her practice. I have had the pleasure of seeing the positive effects and quick recovery from her treatments. The occasions of why I saw Mrs. Woo were for injuries I sustained in the gym. I have had strained, sprained, and pulled muscles throughout my life through my active lifestyle. However, I recently strained my lower back which caused very uncomfortable pain. I contacted Mrs. Woo the night I injured my back and although her office hours were closed, she replied instantly and was able to see me the following day. I received treatment that included electro therapy and warmth. This made my back feel relaxed and less stiff. She emphasized the point of warmth in the area rather than constant icing like the western approach suggest since warmth will allow more blood flow to the area and speed up the recovery process. Although it was very difficult to avoid the gym for a few days, she told me to be patient and allow for a full recovery. There is no point in re-injuring my back and put me out for even longer. I highly recommend Mrs. Woo! My treatment resulted in a quick recovery and now my back is feeling great! read more

Kimberly is an awesome practitioner and is extremely knowledgeable about processes within the human body. She explains what she is doing, why she is doing it and what affects can/should be seen and felt. Kimberly is extremely kind, listens and is very responsive, taking time to address issues holistically and thoroughly. I highly recommend her as a professional, kind, effective and caring acupuncturist. read more

I came to Kim following 24 hours of foot numbness. She immediately opened her schedule for me and got right to work assessing my injury and medical history. Although this was procedural and a required component of her assessment, throughout she provided genuine concern and empathy during this initial assessment. Based on my injury, she didn't suggest acupuncture (at least right away), but instead gave me a detailed plan to increase blood flow to the foot. She immediately set me up on this plan (which I followed religiously) and checked back with me within 24 hours. Within 3 days the foot was back to normal. I can't recommend Kim enough. Honest, knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. read more

She's very thoughtful and thorough. Best of all after laying on her table I didn't have to run home to shower with tea tree oil! Clean and safety practices here at this office is definitely a plus. read more

I have been having very uncomfortable back pain,keeps recurring. I have never had acupuncture before, have always seen Chiropractors. I called Kim, we spoke on the phone, she was able to see me 10/12, same day. I loved her relaxed Comfortable manner....she explained everything in an easy to understand way. When I left on Monday I felt 50% better, Tuesday 80%....looking forward my appointment on Thursday. read more

Words cannot express enough appreciation for Dr. Woo! I had been experiencing severe back pain including shooting, stabbing pains in hips, leg and low/mid back and I could not walk, stand, sit or sleep normally and had to wear a back brace. I had been to chiropractic care for weeks that only brought temporary relief and my condition progressively worsened. The pain was unbearable and I have a very high pain tolerance. I had never experienced acupuncture and a friend recommend I try it. After my first visit with Dr. Woo I felt relaxed and had some relief, but on day 3 my back spasmed for 15 mins and was in excruciating pain, I called Dr Woo and she took me in right away. She did heated cupping and acupuncture and spent over an hour with me. My appointment was 11:30am and at 6:30pm all my symptoms miraculously disappeared almost instantaneously!!! I only had a dull minor low back pressure but am walking, sitting, standing and sleeping good! She is not just a great acupuncturist but she is sweet, personable and truly cares about her patients. She is an amazing person with a wonderful bed side manner! Thank you Dr. Woo, you are a God send!!!! read more

My son is a high school football player who injured the outside muscle of his calf. We tried the normal routine ice, and rest, we even tried Cryo. Nothing helped and he had a college prospect Camp coming up. With no solution in sight, other than to cancel the camp, we decided to try acupuncture. After one session with Kimberley Woo he felt instant relief, and after the second session he was 100%. She is wonderful, down to earth and knows her stuff. We were able to get in quickly, and she made a point to check in to see how my son was feeling. To any athlete I would highly recommend trying this awesome alternative medicine. Thank you Kimberley we appreciate you! read more

Kimberley was recommended to me by a friend after I had been dealing with residual recovery issues following multiple fractures and nerve damage in my foot. I was extremely apprehensive to see an acupuncturist after a very bad experience the first time, but Kimberley reassured me that this would not be the same experience - and she was right! She took time in our initial assessment to not only understand the primary reason for my visit, but also to gain an understanding of my complete health profile and any other concerns I may want to address. Her approach was very comprehensive, including not only traditional acupuncture, but also providing educational materials and nutritional guidance. She was also realistic about what acupuncture can help with and what it can't. For my injury, certain things just take time. I'm pleased that after just a few visits I saw a marked improvement in several aspects of my recovery and have implemented routine acupuncture as part of my whole body wellness. Thanks again Kimberley! read more

I saw Kimberly when I was 42 weeks pregnant and being threatened with induction by my doctors. I was committed to birthing my baby in the most natural way possible and heard about a procedure called moxibustion which can help induce labor. I saw Kimberly on a Friday. She did acupuncture and moxibustion, sending me home with the tools and instructions necessary to do treatments at home. I followed what she told me to do and - low and behold- I went into labor at 3:00am that day and gave birth at 7:30 the next morning! I really believe Kimberly's moxibustion was the nudge my baby needed to come into the world in the calm, natural way I had hoped for. She is extremely knowledgable and passionate about Chinese medicine. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Kim is THE BEST! I'd been suffering with a neck and shoulder injury from a car accident for 15 years. I've tried everything but surgery to relieve the pain, including acupuncture, but nothing seemed to last. In my first treatment with Kim, she explained what was going on with my shoulder and what we could do. She suggested that we try doing some intensive therapy, consisting of 4 sessions in 5 days. The results are REMARKABLE! My other healthcare practitioners are stunned at the improvement. I am thrilled to be so much more comfortable in my body! I even went kayaking and played a little beach volleyball. I'm so happy! My sleep has improved and I have so much more energy! Thank you, thank you, thank you Kimberley!!! read more

Kim is great! I have lower back issue from sitting too long at a 10-day training. She asked my condition and checked my chi. Then she started the treatment on the back side and front side. She tried to release my tension around lower back and enhanced chi circulation. It works! My posture returns normal. It is great to know someone I can trust here. :) Thank you! read more

I was in a ton of pain from a bad nerve in my neck. Kim really came to my rescue! She fit me in, she treated me with love and kindness, and she HELPED! I loved the service and would recommend her to any and everyone! read more

It's been three weeks since Kim worked on my right shoulder, and the results have been amazing! I should have come in to see her much sooner than I did, because the other remedies I was attempting to alleviate my pain and limited range of motion were an exercise in futility, compared to the results Kim was able to produce after just one visit. read more

I have seen Kimberley twice, and I so appreciate her kindness and her help. She listens to what you have going on. She is very attentive, and her office is very clean, and everyone makes you feel welcome. I am so happy I have found her. If your looking for a great acupuncturist, I highly recommend you call her. read more

Kim is amazing! I visited her for post surgical edema. She accommodated me immediately. It was my first experience with acupuncture so she took the time to make me feel comfortable with the process. Her explanation put me at ease, as did her gentle nature and calm environment. She even doubled as a therapist during our session, helping me process the psychological aspect of my medical issue. Following her services, I felt better physically and mentally with a noticeable improvement in my condition. I would highly recommend her! read more
