I came here looking to get some treatment - it was one of the few places open on a Sunday. I got a…read morenew insurance with a new job so I haven't memorized the details and fine print yet. I came IN PERSON upon THEIR REQUEST because they told me to go in and they would check. However, they saw that my insurance card wasn't "common" like ones they usually see, and they DIDN'T CHECK and proceeded to treat me like i was a liar. Also the man who works the desk was really nice and he was the one who told me to go in. He didn't seem like he knew how to check?? The lady (the owner) had an attitude since she walked in the door and saw me. She started rambling on about how she doesn't even check, nor take insurance on Sundays. I called another place and they checked it just fine btw. Overall, her entire attitude didn't seem to want new clients and/or new business so dont bother. Find somewhere else. Im sure many other places will be nice and want new clients and business. I'm also korean, and her demeanor and tone towards me was: "I've never even seen this card before" and proceeded to treat me like some pos liar/scammer. Little does she know, I have really good insurance, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY SHE'S "never seen it." Oh and I called another place immediately after this atrocious encounter and they checked all my insurance within minutes. Lol. Provided explanations, and everything with the coverage I have. F this place. Wtf treatment is this. Idk if u want some low level, scam-ey experience with a niceee side of attitude. Probably better to go somewhere else for your sake. You'll end up leaving more stressed than before you come in.

I've gotten acupuncture semi-regularly for a few years, but never have I ever had acupuncture that hurt this bad or seen a practitioner that left me this traumatized. I literally teared up at multiple points. I sprained my ankle the day prior and wanted to get it checked out. As soon as I sat down, the doctor (I believe her name was Sally Lee) started massaging it and twisting my ankle incredibly aggressively to the point where it hurt so bad I had to tell her to stop multiple times. She then started treatment, and I'm not sure why but a few of the needles hurt really bad. Usually acupuncture barely feels like a pinch upon insertion but these needles continuously hurt and were aching the surrounding areas. She put a few in my stomach which probably hurt the worst and when I told her about the pain, she proceeded to press down on the needles...and I could not stop flinching from the pain. I eventually told her to take them out because I was tearing pretty bad at that point. And she eventually did so very reluctantly lol. All to say, I definitely will not be returning here. The doctor was very dismissive the entire time and I honestly felt like she wanted me to feel pain for some sick reason. I was pretty disturbed when I left, and my ankle is also still in pain so this definitely wasn't worth the visit or cost by any means.

So far, so good. Had…read moremy first session with Dr. Dardon. In all honesty... he's actually a good price for a chiropractic practice. $40 for a session... versus $60+ for the ones I've seen. Luckily, my insurance will eventually cover my sessions with him after I pay him the deductible copay. Yes, he accepts insurance. Talk to him first and he'll tell you what information he needs. I filled out all my forms (in detail) and had a consultation with him where he asked me a bunch of questions regarding my back pain. I was diagnosed with a scatica and low back pain from my acupuncturist. I do have lower back pain. I have no idea why. I sit straight. I stretch daily. I workout. Eat right. Practice safe techniques to protect my back... but yet... I have bad low back pain :/ (No, it won't stop me from working out... I NEED to workout). She recommended I see a chiropractor. Dr. Dardon is so nice. I kept pushing my time back with him and I came 15min late to the appointment. I felt so bad. I got lost because I never heard of Pasadena Ave (been working in Pasadena for 3 years) and thought it was in San Marino/S. Pas area... yeah. He told me directions after calling me to check where I was. Haha... Found it! PARKING: Street parking. It doesn't seem like it gets busy so there should be parking available. We went over some of my symptoms and he explained how my spine should look because I ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS. I need to know what is going on with my back and how it should be and what he'll do. So he told me potential causes for my back pain and gave me some tips. Then he did the back session with me. He told me what he was going to do before touching me - which I appreciate because... like everyone, I don't like being touched by people I don't know (esp men). I need to know what to expect. So he would tell me what he was going to do. He helped crack a lot of my joints. I was scared about the neck cracking because I always associate that with 'breaking a person's neck'... but it did feel good but SCARY. He massaged my back a little bit and was aggressive. He's a big guy (football figure) and so he is strong. I didn't mind because my body needed to get adjusted. I want to be fixed! So he cracked my body and helped me stretch (but I'm pretty flexible and I stretch daily) but it did help my upper back that was tense. My upper body and neck muscles felt so tense when I went in and it felt better when I came out. My lower back was the same, but it takes time. I did feel sore afterward. It felt like I got a deep tissue massage - and it felt like one when he did the massage which is good because Deep Tissue Massage is great for sports injury and tension. So I think my body needed it. He's really a nice guy. I had a nice long conversation with him about his practice and degree and my back situation and he gave me some advice on my sitting and sleeping positions. I know it was because I was the last patient so he had time to talk. Usually he's busy in the practice. Totally understand. Business. :D I haven't done the massage therapists yet. I have my accupressure massages so I'm usually good. I may try them one day but I don't need to til I'm done with accupressure. Although I do love being pampered... I rather have the doctor work on me to put my spine back together. So far, so good. Of course it's my first visit, so I won't feel the effects until I see him many other times. I also need to get use to the cracking of my body. I always freak out when I hear something crack or just doesn't sound normal. So I'll update this review later. But this is the initial visit and so far so good. NOTES: * He speaks Spanish fluently! * Cash or Check Only * If you have insurance, let him know first * Appointment preferred but you can call to check if he is open * You can make appointments online

I had been having trouble with my neck, shoulders and lower back. Most of my pain is because I'm sitting in front of a computer for 9 hours a day 5 days a week. I live a very active life so I'm always stretching,foam rolling out and eating a healthy diet. Still I could not get rid of these nagging pains. Dr. Dardon took the time to answer all of my questions plus he gave me great feedback and proposed good solutions. After my first session I felt immediate relief and I'm continuing on with my treatments. I live in Huntington Beach so it is a long drive to Pasadena but I happily do it because I'm so thankful to have found a real honest great doctor who really cares about his patients well being. Dr. Dardon is reasonably priced and his office is a real clean laid back environment. This is my first Yelp review and I'm writing it because I hope it helps those in pain make the right choice in finding an excellent chiropractor in Dr. Dardon.

About a year ago, I started getting treatment from Dr. Inchul Kim at Back to Eden, and discovered that his approach is unique and extremely effective. Dr. Kim calls his technique Anatomical Acupuncture. While basing his treatments on traditional principles--focused on meridians--Dr. Kim has evolved acupuncture to whole new level. With modern, state-of-the-art equipment he targets and treats my issues with great accuracy. I noticed immediate relief from shoulder and neck pain and, with successive treatments, years of chronic pain (from a car accident seven years ago) has been greatly reduced. I have also gained greater ease and mobility in my neck, shoulder and arm. Dr. Kim has also helped me significantly with persistent sinus congestion and a skin condition. He is a good communicator and a caring healer. I highly recommend that you give his innovative approach a try. The office is clean and well managed with a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. They are well organized and I have never had to wait for treatment. Five stars, or more, if I could give them.
