I had a great overall experience! Re Nu Mi combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern technology, the perfect combo. The staff was extremely welcoming. The doctor's attention to detail was extremely impressive. All my expectations were exceeded! read more

Dr. Soo is the best! She is very knowledgeable. I notice such a difference in how I feel for days after my sessions. I've referred several friends and they all love her too! read more

This place is amazing! Best staff and I had the best experience here. I made an appointment with Dr. Ernest Kim because I was having lower back pains. He suggested to do acupuncture and cupping therapy. I was excited to try acupuncture for the first time and also excited to try cupping as well. I was nervous at first because I have a fear of needles but Dr. Ernest made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I didn't even feel the needles. It was painless haha. Also, tried cupping therapy after the acupuncture and that was an amazing experience as well. Felt very warm and super relaxed. I want to thank Dr. Ernest Kim for making me feel so at home and it was an amazing first time experience. Thank you, Dr. Ernest Kim for a very calm and relaxing experience here and I highly recommend this place to everyone! :) read more

See all

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Kim and his staff at ReNuMi! I have been coming to see Dr. Kim for over three years now and he has changed my life! He is incredibly experienced not only with acupuncture, cupping, and healing, but he is very in tune in removing blockages for your spiritual, mental, and physical healing. I have tried different acupuncturists in the Southbay, but he is definitely the best. He truly cares about you and follows up after treatment to see how you are feeling. It is really nice to know that a doctor actually knows who you are instead of you being just a name on his appointment book. His staff is very friendly and his office is very clean. Plus he offers guidance on meditation which has significantly helped my better well-being. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Kim if you want to have a better way of living. Thanks Dr. Kim!! read more

I've been going to Re Nu Me since 2013 after I'd been in a car accident. Dr. Kim's services and staff have been a life changer for me. They have helped me with various health issues, including managing neck and back pain from injury, recovering quickly from surgery and healing a knee with Bakers Cyst (which is supposedly not curable, but mine has now completely gone for years,) I no longer require knee replacement surgery after ART treatments with Dr. Kim. And my knee is now completely pain free. The holistic approach of integrating body, mind and spirit makes sense to me and I have referred many friends and family members over the years who have also had wonderful results. I also regularly attend meditation at Dr. Kim's home. I've found a fantastic community of likeminded people and I appreciate Dr. Kim's generosity. I always feel wonderful after mediation. Dr. Arthur Hong has recently joined the staff and I've been receiving ART treatments to help me recover from Rotator Cuff surgery. Dr. Hong's ART treatments have helped me increase my strength and range of motion in a very short time and have really fast-tracked my recovery process, and I highly recommend them. I'm a life-long patient of Dr. Kim, Re Nu Me, and now Dr. Hong, they have really helped me physically, mentally and spiritually. Thank you Re Nu Me! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Kim and Dr. Ernest. I was beyond stressed out and out of balance and had the beginnings of terrible TMJ. I did the rounds of dentists and TMJ specialist and it dawned on me that this is a holistic problem, and I should go see an acupuncturist. Dr. Kim had me de-stressing and my jaw feeling 1000 times better within a week and then after a month I started working with his son who is an excellent chiropractor-and over the next several months I was feeling so much better! I'm back to myself again and will keep working with them for maintenance. They are true healers, implementing and practicing eastern and western medicines. They really know their work and their staff is lovely and warm. So happy I found them on Yelp! read more

Dr. Kim and his staff are the best! I have been coming here for my treatment about 3 months now. Dr. Kim helped me so much with my health condition which MDs couldn't help much. He does regular acupuncture treatment and this treatment called ART, he says he is the premium to the US, this is awesome! He helped me to learn how to love myself and forgive others. He is truly gifted healer and I am so glad that I met him. I strongly recommend ReNuMi wellness for your health :) read more

Re Nu Mi Wellness Center - cozy waiting area with adorable Christmas tree. - Acupuncture Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Dr Kim has helped me with neck & back pain I have had for about 3 years after being rear-ended on the freeway. I have had chiropractic treatments, physical therapy, cortisone injections (5) and many dr. visits. My next and last option was surgery (laminectomy) I decided to try acupuncture as a last effort to relieve my pain and tightness in my neck & back. I have been having ART treatments -My recovery has been amazing! I am feeling so much better and have also lost weight as a result of his treatments. I am also less anxious and able to handle stress so much better than I have in the past. I have decided not to have surgery and trust me, I was very sceptical at the beginning. So very thankful I found him! He has changed my life. read more

The office is calming and peaceful. The staff is kind and genuine... Just met Dr Kim over the weekend and already I am confident I have found a true healer. Dr Kim takes his time to understand what exactly you are going through and thoughtfully facilitates a treatment plan that will bring deep and permanent healing. He is a master of energy movement with a spiritual depth that nurtures your soul. Rest assured, when you step into ReNuMi, you are in a safe place, surrounded by people who care and want the best for you. Looking forward to embarking on my new wellness plan! read more

Dr. Kim has been one of the most influential people in my life. After being his acupuncture patient for 4 years, taking his qi gong classes, meditating with him and his son, I have developed an ultimate respect for him. He is a true healer. You will probably seek his help for physical ailments, then with time learn of the real connection between the emotions, mind, cultivation of the spirit, and the flow of positive energy. I truly cannot say enough loving things about Dr. Kim and the employees of Renumi. read more

I have been VERY happy about my time at Re Nu Mi. Dr. Kim is a miracle worker, in my opinion. I started seeing him about a very personal matter, very complicated due to a traumatic event. In other words, not just for a stiff back. He is very intuitive, truly cares about you, and formulates a plan for healing, taking time to talk to you about deeper concerns and other possible stressors in your life. He is very knowledgable about what he does, and takes the time to really know you. I also really like the staff, specifically Daniel, Peter, and Jay, and the front desk girls. Daniel has a loving energy that just radiates, and I know that he will be a wonderful healer too one day. I tell them often, I wish I could come to acupunture every single day! I was a skeptic before, not that I thought Acupunture didn't work, I just thought it wouldn't work for ME. Well it did, and you can be sure that I will be coming back to Dr. Kim for any other physical/mental ailment in the future. My only gripe, if it can be considered one, is that I think Dr. Kim loses track of time (because he is so coveted) and he runs late for appts....and sometimes I can be there for quite some time, and for me it's ok, because I ususally don't have to be somewhere, but it might be hard for someone who has to be out of there at a certain time on the dot. Other that that, I love it here read more

Dr. Kim of Re Nu Mi is a true intuitive and healer. I first started seeing him when I was quite ill and he helped me get through that, and since then has continued to help me with my spiritual, mind and body connection. Dr Kim and his wonderful staff do acupuncture and also an advanced technique called ART which is phenomenal!! I've been to other acupuncturists in the past, and so I know that Dr. Kim truly is very gifted in identifying and treating what is the root focus area for each person. I also participate in meditating with him which is another huge gift he has shared with me and many others. I highly recommend you schedule an appointment and experience for yourself what I know has been a transformational experience for me. A big plus is that he has a huge heart and a great sense of humor, I always get a good laugh when I'm there which I love! The other practitioners Harrison, Dr. Su and Dr. Maria are very accomplished as well and the front desk staff, Charlene and Heidi are truly lovely people. I love Re Nu Mi!! I hope that you check it out for yourself. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kim on and off for over 10 years now for different things; shoulder pain, back pain, infertility and now migraines. (I am having his ART treatments). He is so very caring and will heal you. I absolutley believe in him. I am so grateful to him for helping me over the years. read more

Very calming, very friendly personable and knowledgeable staff! Dr Kim is sooo smart and kind and friendly, and he understands how people work. He asks about your experiences and how your mind is doing as well. Pro tip: take your vitamin packet things that he has! They really work! I end up eating healthier every day that I take them and just feel better! read more

I have suffered for 25 years. I was hit by a drunk driver which fractured my hip in 6 places, and kidney and blatter damage, multiple fused nerves, hematomas. I have had total hip and partial femur replacement which doctors told me I wouldn't be able to do certain things with my new hip and femur, after surgery I was still in sever pain and was heavily self medicating. A friend told me about Dr. Kim at Re Nu Mi and I made the appointment that after the first treatment I felt immediate effect on my leg and entire body. The staff that assist with Dr. Kim are amazing and super friendly and what a awesome vibe. I would recommend you to stop being your bodies victim and be your bodies victor and make a appointment read more

I started going to Dr. Kim several months ago for chronic knee pain and acute foot pain. He started me on a plan to improve my overall health and to work on the joint pain. My foot pain is completely gone, and my knee is so much better! I am much healthier, have lost over 25 pounds, have great energy, and am much happier with myself. I now alternate with Dr. Kim for acupuncture and cupping, and Dr. Ernest for MRT. Some days, after treatment, I feel extremely relaxed and stress-free. Other days I just feel great overall, especially my knee. My quality of life as a newly turned 70 year old is so much better than I ever expected at my age. read more

Finally, my patella femoral syndrome and IT band syndrome symptoms are finally relieved thanks to Dr. Ernest. For years I suffered from these conditions and which kept me out of the gym. I have been to a chiropractor and a physical therapist, neither of them knew the exact cause and solution like Dr. Ernest did. One session at this office gave me the tools and knowledge to exercise pain free again. read more

I was enduring bad stress in my back for a couple months after breaking a vertebrae. One visit and I woke up the next morning a new person.

Right now I am so angry! Dr. Kim constantly tells you to trust him! He talked me into his special ART Procedure to fix my scars from my double mastectomy. He assured me he had done this before on reconstruction and that he only goes in 2mms. He ended up puncturing my implant! I have had $30,000 worth of procedures to fix what he did and NOW he is trying to dispute the money I paid him for doing the procedure of $1000. Please do not go to him or give him any business! He sent me a letter of apology and some flowers proving his guilt, yet can't reimburse me for what I paid him! I can't believe someone who is claiming to want to help people would do this to someone who has already been through so much. I am in the process of suing him which is probably why his website has been down for so long! read more

I've had a serious low back problem for the last 4 years, I came across this gem and met Dr. Ernest Kim. I don't know where to start, besides this Doc knows his stuff. A couple sessions and I was back on track, not only that but I had a unique problem and he pin pointed it to perfection. Follow ups and professional questions that made it more of a reason to ONLY deal with him. I'm glad I took time looking around because it was worth the wait. Being extremely friendly is a good way of helping the mind set, but once he starts to diagnose and goes to work, a true professional is what you get. read more

This place is amazing. Dr. Kim plan of wellness when applied in all aspects has completely turned my life around. The office is beautiful and clean, the staff are focused, helpful, and friendly. I recommend following your acupuncture treatment with a massage. I start every weekend at Re Nu Mi. read more

I went to ReNuMi when I was having unbelievable back pain a couple of months back. The pain was so bad, I hadn't slept in days....the worst! On the first treatment Dr. Kim did a treatment on me that helped relieve the pain enough for me to get my first nights rest in many days. It was like a miracle! I continued to see him over the next month in conjunction with MRT with Dr. Ernest. Dr. Ernest is ALSO an extremely gifted healer. He spent lots of time explaining what was happening, what we could do to get better and helped me gain some peace of mind about the whole thing. He literally helped me keep my head on straight while dealing with some of the worst physical pain of my life. Karina at the front desk is wonderful too, as is the MA, the whole team is just wonderful and makes you feel safe and cared for. I literally come here for everything now....no need to visit my regular Doctor. ReNuMi is where I go for healing. I would give them 10 stars if I could. read more

Amazing. Everything about ReNuMi is just that - amazing. The doctors, the staff, the space, the service. Honestly, going to regular acupuncture here has changed my life, emotionally and physically. I'm super grateful I found it and can not recommend ReNuMi highly enough! :-) read more

Dr. Kim has helped me tremendously. He not only helps you with whatever problem you come in with, but also cares about how you are living your life. Are you eating well, are you stressed, how are your family relations and how is your life going are just a few of his concerns. He wants us each to love ourselves and truly cares for each of his patients. He has truly changed my life for the better. Not just him, but his staff too. They make an amazing family at ReNuMi. read more

I went to Dr Kim's office for one thing - that is not so simple - insomnia. He is approaching my treatment from a whole person mind, body, spirit perspective. Since I've been in treatment with him I feel happier, more grounded, more able to manage my life with joy and purpose and the sleep issues are becoming more defined and clear to me. We are still working on it but I feel so much better. He's a compassionate, deeply perceptive Healer! Thank you, Dr Kim. read more

Daily headaches and desperation for relief pointed me to ReNuMi Wellness Center. This step changed my life - Physically, Mentally and Spiritually. Headache / stress treatments put me in control of my life to the point where it all makes sense. No magic needles or supplements but an understanding of balance, of Ying - Yang, of who I am and who I'm not. The staff at ReNuMi shares this same balance. The answers are clearly within us and ReNuMi helps to understand the questions.that really matter. Removing the physical and mental clutter within lets our spirit lead and when this happens we naturally become healthier and happier. We are balanced. Dr. Ron N. read more

What a mixed bag. Very good accupuncturist. But feels like I am always charged more than expected without prior notification. First treatments were quality and thorough. Then less and decreased quality of service leading to being asked for more money for the same or less amount of service. I wanted to believe Dr. Kim had integrity, instead after 6 months of treatment, he charged more for less. Last example, charging $190 for a requested TEP treatment he previously said was $75. This they charged a couple of times before noticing it and calling it to their attention. Then having to pay twice what was expected. His office knew I was strapped for cash and had to delegate treatment. But that doesn't seem to matter. That the Dr. doesn't return phone messages is just another bad business practice. I like Dr. Kim as a person, but as a professional caregiver he lacks consistent business practices. All that being said if you have unlimited money he'll do a good job for you. But once a regular I personally got less quality treatment as time went on. read more

I highly recommend this office. I visited ReNuMi Wellness center out of frustration; my immune system had been terrible for at least a decade and my glands seemed to get swollen and painful with every virus I was exposed to. I was getting no where with Western doctors, and had heard many recommendations to try acupuncture, and now I feel foolish for not doing it sooner. On the very first visit my large, swollen glands in my neck were reduced down in one day. Two weeks later, I had a very bad cold and a sore throat. After employing several of Dr. Kim's healing techniques, my throat pain was gone before leaving the office, and after taking prescribed herbs, I was back to healthy the next day! After about five treatments I feel like my energy and vitality are returning. As others have mentioned, Dr. KIm is a bit of a magician, sometimes it seems he is a mind reader, in taking the whole picture (i.e. your health, your marriage, personal issues, etc.) into consideration when prescribing your treatment. I cannot say enough about this peaceful, positive office! My husband is now going and has had very similar experiences. read more

Dr. Kim and the entire ReNuMi staff are beyond spectacular. ReNuMi wellness center has improved every aspect of my life including mind, body and spirit. Treatments have benefited my overall health and appearance. His facials have exceeded my wildest imagination. The energy of the whole office radiates. Dr. Kim's treatment has a physical and spiritual depth that I truly believe leads to long lasting and permanent healing unlike any other. JG read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kim, Dr. Ernest, and their staff for 6+ years and feel like I am part of the family. They truly care and are passionate about healing. They have changed my perspective on life and have helped me find patience and happiness despite a few ongoing issues. I am grateful for the time they spent with me and for all the lessons they shared along the way. I am better for it. Thank you! I couldn't hold ReNuMi in higher regard... read more

Dr Kim is awesome !!!! I have a deviated septum and have trouble breathing, I have been to a lot of doctors with no success - a friend suggested I try Dr Kim and I was expecting nothing and wow did i get lucky. While I was there he also did work on my neck, suddenly my neck was thin, my neck wasn't saggy, the saggy skin under the chin tightened. I am going to see Dr Kim again and again - He gave me some diet advice for my son, who has already seen a reduction in the redness of his cheeks - so I have now decided to take my daughter to see him as has some skin issues. I will let everyone know how that goes :) read more

Dr. Kim and his staff are awesome. I can't rave enough about the care I've received at ReNuMi over the past year and a half. I've been treated for symptoms including depression, back and neck pain and even face wrinkles. Dr. Kim can do it all. He's very intuitive about whatever is going on in your life and truly cares about his patients. He even invites patients to his house for meditation classes. I've referred many friends to ReNuMi and I highly recommend that you give them a shot! read more

I first decided to try acupuncture when I was 7 months pregnant. I had a lot of sciatic pain and was looking for a natural remedy. I landed on trying ReNuMi after checking out the website. I was impressed with Dr. Kim's credentials and liked that he had been the Chairman on the Acupuncture Board for the State of California and had a lot of experience. Acupuncture was all new to me and I wanted to go to someone I felt I could trust. ReNuMi is very clean, relaxing, and I was instantly a huge fan of Dr. Kim. He seems genuinely concerned with getting to know you, your overall well being, and with healing all of your ailments. The staff is also very pleasant and sweet which is something that is important to me. For my first treatment Dr. Kim put in a few needles which barely seem like needles and are pretty much painless. After about 20 or 30 minutes they came back and did a cupping treatment which I believe is for blood flow and to speed up the treatment process. The cupping was also very relaxing. I could not have been more pleased with the results from my first treatment. In addition to the relief of my sciatic pain, I felt amazing. One thing that I noticed was that I did not wake up once in the middle of night to use the bathroom. With a baby pushing on my bladder I was waking up at least once a night on the days I didn't do acupuncture. The combination of a great night's sleep and being pain free worked wonders. Fast forward a few months and I was having terrible neck, back, shoulder, and arm pain which I think was due to lugging a baby car seat. I woke up in excruciating pain and could barely lift my head off the pillow. I first went to the ER and was prescribed a muscle relaxer and pain reliever. I was reluctant to take the meds as they seemed pretty potent. Luckily I was able to get in for an acupuncture appointment. I again found instant relief from the acupuncture and was reminded of how much I love it and how amazing the results are. Most recently I tried the ART treatment. I happened to have an appointment the day after the stomach bug had finished making its way through our house. I was sleep deprived, had the chills, and felt terrible. I left feeling the best I had felt in months or even longer. It is a little more expensive but so worth it. Even if I am feeling fine and just want to treat myself I would pick acupuncture over a facial, massage, or reflexology any day. I tell everyone who will listen to give ReNuMi a try. Especially if you are pregnant, a Mom, or stressed for any reason at all. My husband is a terrible sleeper and I finally convinced him to try it and he too was so pleased with the results. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kim and the healing power of acupuncture. read more
