I've seen Dr. Kim for over a year now. He's treated me for multiple issues, including back and neck pain and headaches. He is extremely caring and genuinely concerned for the welfare of his patients. I can usually get in within 48 hours of calling and I've never had to wait in the waiting room. I've received long-lasting pain relief following each visit. I highly recommend this practice for acupuncture and chiropractic care. read more

Shekinah Health - Front office - Acupuncture Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

After 3 months of twice a week cervical adjustments with Dr.Kim I feel like he has made things worse. My initial tight neck pain was alleviated with a few normal adjustments, but after his X-rays he said I needed long term care and switched to "knee to chest" adjustments now I have deep pain in my head/neck that I didn't have when I started treatment. Upon asking questions about my treatment, Dr. Kim would get very defensive and was very short with me making my visits rather uncomfortable. When I mentioned my approved visits may run out soon (even though I had another month left) he told me to go back to my primary Dr. In other words he couldn't help me any longer. Very upsetting that I have this new pain I hadn't started with and then he dismisses me from his care completely. Very bad experience for me and I do not recommend him. read more

Went a few times only because insurance covered chiropractic visits. Had 5 minutes worth of care and was incredibly expensive. Felt shortchanged for the cost. At least the office looked clean but care was meh. read more

Dr. Kim and Staff are great! Dr. Kim is extremely attentive and caring. He is treating me for sciatic pain. I have noticed progress on every visit, today being my fourth treatment and included acupuncture. Dr. Kim explains everything he is doing and the expected benefit. He is truly amazing! read more

Was sent to Dr. Kim by referral from my neurologist for my migraines. Dr. Kim is considered an expert in cervical chiropractic care. Since seeing him for about 6 months , my migraines are greatly improved. Not totally gone, but the frequency and severity are down significantly. I am very pleased with the efficiency and organization of the office staff, they are also very friendly. Dr. Kim has a rare warm bedside manner. He listens to my concerns and complaints very patiently. Highly recommend for headaches and back pain. read more

Dr. Kim and the staff are amazing! I'm glad to have finally found someone who could take care of my back issues that I have had for over 5 years since having a car accident. I was a student when I got into a 4 car pile up and really couldn't afford to get it taken care of. It recently got pretty bad about a year ago. My knees started hurting when playing sports, I could barely run for more than 10 minutes without feeling pain down my left leg, my back would have a clicking noise everytime I lifted my left leg. I was in denial for a long time until I couldn't take it anymore. Dr. Kim's office and his staff was professional They saw me quickly and the clarity of the explanations was fantastic. The first visit was about 30 minutes for the consultation and the adjustments. The cool thing about Dr. Kim is that he asks you for permission to pray for you before treating you. I tell you I'm not a religious guy, but with that said, any higher power that can be channeled to help heal my back, I'll take it. After the first adjustment, I felt a good improvement and after about 6, I feel almost as good as new. I can actually do exercises that I couldn't because of the clicking in my back, knee pains are gone, I feel an inch taller and now am a much happier person. As for the insurances, Dr. Kim ended up taking my insurance where the other chiropractor I had didn't. If I had know that I would have sought him out sooner! He is quick, efficient and most importantly honest. I can't say anymore than that. Thank you Dr. Kim and Staff! read more

Dr. Kim is one of the most caring doctors I've ever encountered. I saw him weekly for chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture for three years when I lived in the area. He helped me cope with some nerve damage and improved my state of well being tenfold. I would highly recommend Dr. Kin to any of my friends and family. read more

I have been going to Dr. Kim for 6 years now and he is amazing! When I first walked into his office, I could not even hold a fork in my right hand, it was so sore and messed up. Within 10 minutes, I was pain free and he found the real problem in my neck and fixed that over the next several months. Really. I am an artist and I make my living as a muralist. This requires the use of my hands and great physical burden upon my body. Dr. Kim has made my life and career better with regular acupuncture and chiropractic treatments.I simply could not thrive without him and his services. The most kind and knowledgeable doctor I have ever seen. I highly recommend him. read more

Great caring chiropractor that I believe has helped my chronic neck and back pain. I'm feeling confident to do things like run which I used to be afraid read more

I was very happy with Dr. Kim and went to see him for multiple visits twice a week for a long time. My insurance covered acupuncture (not chiro) and because I was being treated for a spinal condition in my neck and lower back I didn't want adjustments - only acupuncture for my nerve pain. After literally 40 - 50 acupuncture visits, at the end of my last visit, he told me to go into this other area where he began doing an adjustment. I was confused because I DID NOT REQUEST THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT. While I was walking over to this area, I was thinking maybe he's just going to do a couple tweeks as part of the acupuncture (honestly I was just confused). I wasn't sure if I should remind him I didn't ask for chiro but he just did it so quickly it was done before I new what happened. Then, as I was checking out, his office assistant tells me I owe an additional $60 for the chiro?? What? No way. I did not request (or want) that treatment and I am not going to pay for it. I told her since he did it, I guess they could send it to my insurance but if it's not covered, I'm not going to be pushed into paying for something I didn't want. After that happened, I decided I wasn't going to go back to him again. Months later I get a statement from him showing a balance for the chiro. When I called the office to reiterate that I did not request the chiro, the girl that answered was extremely argumentative and said "well I have it here in my notes that you agreed we could bill for it". This response did make me angry and I told her (in a rather harsh tone) well I'm not paying for a treatment I didn't request or agree to. In return she got very condescending, so realizing this was going no where, I hung up the phone. This is just a crazy, underhanded way to do business. Based on other reviews, I'm not the only person this has happened to. read more

First I want to say that Dr. Kim is a great doctor and he is very good at what he does. However, his staff running the office are unprofessional and have no idea what they are doing. They charged me for services that I never came in for and then when I tried calling them to clear up these charges and who I needed to speak to about it they kept telling me the person in charge was out of the office. I would then leave several messages for the woman in charge and never got a call back. Then even after I paid everything off they sent me a bill several months later for no reason and then while I tried to resolve it they sent it to collections. They clearly have no idea how to keep track of their records and it's a shame because Dr. Kim is great, but some of his staff are complete imbeciles. read more

Really appreciate Dr. Kim and his effective adjustments (he prays for you prior to each one). I stopped going after a few appointments just because he cancelled on me a bit last-minute. That wasn't cool. Also, they were charging me quite a bit and I'm able to see other chiropractors on my insurance for a lot less. So, a high-quality DC if it (a) works for his schedule and (b) you don't mind higher out-of-pocket costs. read more

Got a groupon so thought I'd check them out. First visit was ok but I could sense there were office "issues". Second visit was a nightmare! I prepaid for a acupuncture and hot stone massage but they booked me for chiro visit instead by mistake so they had to rearrange. I ended up being there almost two hours. Very rushed. One of worst massages ever. Person seemed competent enough but not equipped. I was forced to lay on cold plastic table with an ill-fitting sheet that kept sliding off with no bolster under my feet to protect my lower back. Instead she put some random object that was hard and bumpy under my feet. Dr complained that I didn't come back soon enough to benefit, but I had taken the first available appt. Get your facts straight before you insult a client ,and maybe get a new front office person or a less confusing computer program. Not be going back. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kim since they opened their offices in Westlake Village. He and staff are very friendly and scheduling is always accommodating. They maintain a clean well-lit facility. I always seek Dr. Kim's adjustment and acupuncture therapies to balance out my rigorous workouts. He is a gem!!!!! read more

My family has been going to Dr. Kim for several years now. He is caring and his chiropractic touch is very gentle yet effective. His acupuncture treatment is a bit brutal for me, but it has provided good results for my counterpart. He accepts insurance but also offers $10 off chiropractic adjustments for folks without coverage on Thursdays; it ends up being $39 out of pocket. His front office staff is friendly, accommodating and helpful. The office is clean, calming and offers a bit more privacy than at other facilities. read more

Dr Kim is a healer and changed my life in such a positive way. His staff is friendly, the space is clean and calming and his prices are fair and competitive. If you are in any kind of pain, go see Dr. Kim, you'll be glad you did! read more

Gina gives fantastic massages. She accidentally gave me 45min massage instead of 60, but they gave me a new appointment for 30min free. Really good service. It is pretty hard to find if you have not been there before. You have to go into the door next to the nail salon and then go up the stairs. read more

I went to Dr. Kim because I have curvature of the spine(scoliosis) He is treating me with acupuncture and chiro. I still have pain in my back. I had about 6 or 8 sessions. I won't give up because I feel both will help me eventually. Dr. KIm is good at what he does. read more

Very caring staff thank you for alleviating my back pain! Helped with my sciatica and stomach issues. Will be going back soon

Excellent care and terrific customer service. Recommended by doctors from Cedars Sinai and I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Dr. Kim and his staff are always so professional and friendly. Dr. Kim has helped me with my daily pain level. Thanks to his treatment my life is nearly pain free. He is a true healer. read more

Dr. Kim and his staff are the best!! I had never been to a chiropractor before and was albeit a bit skeptical. But I had been having really bad migraines for years and was ready to try anything. After the consultation and xrays, the very next day Dr. Kim had a tailored plan for improvement. And long story short.. it worked! As opposed to taking medicine which only masks the pain, having my body aligned so it can fix itself just makes so much sense. He is very gentle with the adjustments but they work wonders and I always feel better immediately. I no longer get headaches every night, which has significantly improved my quality of life. I can't thank them enough. Dr. Kim and his staff are just the nicest people ever. I would recommend Shekinah Health to anyone in a heartbeat! read more

I have visited Dr. Kim and his office staff numerous times over the past two years. They are always professional, kind, and compassionate. I recommend dr. Kim and Shekinah health all the time to anybody who asks me if I know of a chiropractor. read more

Watch out for there billing practices, double bill you and insurance!

I have been going to chiropractors for 20 years. Then I found Dr. Kim about a year ago. Located in the office building at The Promenade. This is a much more gentle kind of chiropractic care. No sharp neck adjustments, a more methodical, one click at a time sort of adjustment. Dr Kim really listens and remembers what issues you are having and wants to find out the source. He doesn't insist you stop your favorite activities, he manages care of your issues so you can enjoy your activities. His delivery of acupuncture care is great. He tells you what he is doing and makes sure your are ok. He doesn't push care that isn't necessary. He is genuinely interested in getting you in and out of the office efficiently and in better shape than before you arrived. I can say that I feel better every time I leave the office. His methods have provided very quick relief to neck, back, hip, and knee problems I have had. The staff is always terrific. Truly five star all around. read more

My friend recommended Dr. Kim at Shekinah Health to me, as she has been going to him for help for a couple of months. His treatment for her resulted in her not having a scheduled shoulder surgery. Having never been to an acupuncturist, I was pleased and impressed with how thorough and professional Dr. Kim is. I was involved in a traffic accident and received neck and shoulder injury. Dr. Kim was meticulous when taking x-rays, positioning my head in exactly the position he needed to see where the damage had been done. He has a friendly manner while being professional and answers any questions I may have. I look forward to continuing to work with him and I will recommend Dr.Kim to anyone. read more

Shekinah Health has the most AMAZING staff. Dr. Kim is great and I can't I thank him enough for his experience in acupuncture. I have suffered for a year and a half and finally after seeing him by my 3rd visit I have some feeling back in the tips of my fingers. I am not expecting miracles but have suffered with neck, hand, and wrist pain and am hoping with his help I will see results. They are very accommodating when scheduling my appointments and am truly hoping that with more treatment I will see results. Thank you to Dr.Kim and his staff for always being so kind and friendly from the minute I walk through the door :) read more

I wrote this review originally on 12/2/2013. I still stand by it and know that Dr. Kim helped me tremendously Shekinah Health Shekinah Health Acupuncture, Chiropractors, Nutritionists 650 S Westlake Blvd Thousand Oaks, CA 91362 5.0 star rating 12/2/2013 Having suffered from migraine headaches for over 30 years, I had to decide if I want to continue to live like this or do something about it. I decided to do something about it. After much research and comparison I chose Dr. Kim. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He does acupuncture AND chiropractic. After my first visit I felt like I could fly. My husband also went to Dr. Kim as he has diabetic neuropathy in his feet. He felt much better after a few treatments. Dr. Kim is a nice man and a caring Dr. His goal is make his patients feel better. He had planned to make a trip out of the country but one of his patients was having severe headaches, he needed to treat her daily so he canceled his trip. He treats the condition, not the symptoms. He will not treat you until he has done a thorough assessment and knows exactly what he needs to treat and how he is going to treat it. I have referred many to Dr. Kim and have heard no complaints. read more

I saw the doctor today as he is in the BlueCard net work; I found he walked me through the treatment process and worked on my tennis elbow problem very effective; he also treated my neck problem too; I will go back this Thursday. read more

Tried accupuncture and massage there with a Groupon. Was very pleased! The accupuncture was a very different technique than I've experienced before - but seems to have been effective. I could immediately feel a difference. The hot stone massage was fantastic! I was in a trance for hours afterward. I'm going back to see how the chiropractic techniques work. Highly recommended. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Kim for about 2 yrs. We have had chiropractic services, accupuncture and massage therapy there. He is an excellent Dr and the staff is great. He is the first Dr. that has been able to help me with my neck and upper back issues. read more

Dr Kim is awesome! I was having extreme pain in my lower back in addition to my sciatica was flaring up. I had been to numerous doctors and none of them could really help me to get rid of the pain. I originally found Dr. Kim from a groupon for acupuncture and once I met him he was able to take in house X-rays of my back and help me to better understand what was causing my pain. Once he was able to see what was causing the pain he worked with me to make a plan for long term relief. Within a couple of months he was able to fully relieve me of the pain that I was having. Now I go to see Dr. Kim only for the occasional adjustment or acupuncture if needed. I have referred Dr. Kim to over 10 family and friends including my 83 year old grandmother and all of them said that he was able to help them tremendously. I would recommend him to anyone is having back or neck pain because he knows his stuff! read more
