I have been doing treatment with Dr. Choi and Dr. Park for about 4 months now and I can't recommend this place enough. I had never done acupuncture or herbal treatment before, but this style of treatment was recommended by my girlfriend. Before this, nothing else was working for me and the severity of my condition was becoming uncontrollable. If you are considering treatment for your health issues, read on and consider scheduling a visit to this place. I have had eczema for as long as I can remember, but it reached an intensity that I had never seen before. I was unbearably itchy all over and all the damn time. I was scratching through layers of skin until I was oozing and bleeding. My skin was rough, red, inflamed, and I had what looked like hives and rashes all over my body. I was having restless and sleepless nights. Showering, working out/sweating, and applying moisturizer/creams/ointments would be incredibly painful. I had to cancel appointments with clients and completely call out of work because of my eczema. The doctor I was seeing at that time told me to use a steroid cream and in time the eczema would go away. But my skin was only getting worse and worse. I was getting desperate. I had never considered acupuncture and herbal treatment, but I decided to reach out to TY Wellness Center after reading the reviews and realizing that I desperately needed answers. I was able to schedule an appointment very quickly. I met with Dr. Choi and Dr. Park and they were so welcoming, understanding, and knowledgable. They immediately could tell that I also had gut and immune system issues. I've struggled with chronic gastritis, IBS, and have always had a sensitive stomach as well as bad allergies (I was taking a daily antihistamine). I didn't realized that this was all connected to my eczema. They listened deeply and were able to prescribe diet and lifestyle changes as well as formulate the herbal medicine for me to approach the treatment in a holistic way. They also mentioned Topical Steroid Withdrawal, which was also making my skin condition much worse. I threw out my steroid cream and began treatment with acupuncture as well as the herbal medicine that was specifically custom made for me. Within weeks I could feel not only my skin getting better, but also my sleep, my gut health, and my allergies. The treatment has more than just helped out with my eczema, but my entire quality of life! I have lost weight, dropped body fat, I have way less inflammation, my anxiety and stress has lessened tremendously, my skin has cleared, I have more energy and vigor, I sleep better, and just feel like a well oiled machine. I used to have to carry tissues around with me everywhere because of my incessant allergies, but one day my girlfriend noticed that my pockets and the bed weren't full of tissues anymore! I have even stopped having to take my daily 24hr antihistamine pills. Wild! My mind, body, and spirit all feel like they've been healing. I've learned what my body is sensitive to and I've overall become much more in tune with it. I somehow feel younger and am in better shape than I was before treatment. This whole process was life changing. I will preface that in order for big changes in your body to happen, you have to be willing to make big changes in your diet and lifestyle and stick with it. It IS worth it. Western medicine tends to just "put a bandaid" on your health issues and prescribe a pill. This holistic "inside out" approach has healed me of more than just my eczema. I didn't realize just how many things in our western diet, culture, and lifestyle are poisoning us. Thank you Dr. Choi and Dr. Park for all of your guidance, knowledge, patience, and help! If you have read this far and are considering getting treatment, go for it! Invest in yourself and your health, these are people you can trust. read more

My 12 year old son broke out with eczema on his forearm, wrist and behind his knees. We tried to wait it out before coming to Dr. Choi but we should've came right when it happened. His skin condition got so bad that it started to crust and ooze. Nighttime was horrible because my skin would scratch without realizing it and he's open the already closed wounds over and over again. We were beginning to feel hopeless and extremely exhausted. We did about 5 or 6 rounds of herbal medicine with Dr Choi. We are so grateful for all his help! It took some time, but my son healed and every penny was worth it! We fully trust Dr. Choi and his wife. They are experts in their field. We highly recommend him! read more

The best! I've seen Dr Choi for various reasons over the course of many years. I've previously suffered from stomach issues. His acupuncture treatment addressed my symptoms, and he's guided me with healing wisdom of foods/spices to avoid. I recently had hip pain that through his treatments is now fully recovered. I highly recommend Dr Choi. The location is convenient with off street parking and readily available appointments including Saturdays. Go to TY Wellness for your healing and wellness! read more

I'm 39 years old and have been seeing Dr. Choi for almost three years now -- and I truly can't imagine life without him. I've become so much more in tune with my body, and I can confidently say that my quality of life has improved dramatically. I first came to TY Wellness after a friend referred me while being treated for TSW. At the time, I was completely depleted -- physically and mentally -- and felt like I needed an immunity boost after having my third child. During my initial consultation, Dr. Choi and I decided to begin a round of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) paired with weekly acupuncture. He quickly identified that I had a very weak digestive system and recommended cutting out gluten and high-carb foods. Coincidentally (or maybe not so coincidentally) I was diagnosed with prediabetes around that time. With consistent acupuncture, dietary changes, and more mindful movement, I was able to lower my A1C and am no longer considered prediabetic. I took a short break from treatment, but returned when I started noticing signs of perimenopause -- periods just two weeks apart, night sweats, and intense mood swings. After another round of CHM and regular acupuncture, my cycle normalized to 28 days. Dr. Choi also helped treat eczema that developed on my legs and gave me much-needed relief from pinched muscles in my back. Since seeing him, I've become more aware of even the smallest shifts in my body -- which honestly feels empowering. If you're looking to improve your health through Eastern medicine, I can't recommend TY Wellness enough. It's been a life-changing experience. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Choi for a few months now. My main concern was cystic acne, which has really cleared up! Dr. Choi prescribed me a custom herbal formula and performed weekly acupuncture. I am very happy with my results and highly recommend T.Y. Wellness Center! read more

I first came to Dr. Choi's clinic in 2015 with an advanced case of hives that included extreme swelling of my lips and face. From the very beginning, Dr. Choi took my condition with the utmost seriousness and spent a generous amount of time and attention during both the initial and follow-up consultations. His deep care and commitment were immediately clear. The road to recovery was not a short one -- it involved two courses of herbs and numerous acupuncture sessions over several months -- but thanks to Dr. Choi's skill, diligence, and encouragement, I made a full recovery. Even more remarkably, I remained hive-free for many years afterward -- a truly incredible feat given how severe my condition was. Over the years, I've returned to Dr. Choi for help with other issues, including, most recently, another intense flare up -- this time a combination of eczema and hives (apparently, I'm on a ten-year cycle!). Once again, through a combined treatment of herbs and acupuncture, Dr. Choi has restored me to health. I cannot overstate how much I trust him -- more than any other doctor, whether Western or traditional. When it comes to skin conditions especially, his depth of experience and expertise are unmatched. A few tips for others seeking a good outcome: 1. Be patient and consistent. This is not a quick-fix kind of medicine -- and that's the point. Dr. Choi's approach is about getting to the root of the issue, not just masking symptoms. It takes time, but the results are deeper and longer-lasting than what you might expect from conventional treatments like steroid creams. As Dr. Choi once told me, this is "stubborn medicine" -- and it works best if you're a little stubborn too, and stay committed. 2. The healing process is collaborative. To get the best results, it's essential to follow the lifestyle guidelines, including avoiding allergens and dietary triggers. The anti-inflammatory diet was a huge challenge for me -- I love food, cooking, and baking -- but don't let it scare you off. Dr. Choi will tell you that you only need to stick with the diet during treatment - make sure you do! That said, having been on and off an anti-inflammatory diet many times over the years, I have adopted many of its tenets as part of my daily practice and find that the health benefits far outstrip the sacrifices. (Full disclosure: I'm 39 and the ONLY beverage I drink is hot or warm water. I'm not evangelical about it, and my family and friends think I'm a nut... but many have taken up the practice themselves!) 3. Don't skip the herbs! While it's become more expensive due to tariffs, the herbal medicine is at the core of Dr. Choi's practice and, in my experience, is more powerful than acupuncture alone. If you're serious about healing through traditional medicine, prioritize the herbs from the start to give your body the best chance at a speedy and full recovery. Dr. Choi is a rare and gifted healer who brings both wisdom and care to his work. I feel deeply grateful to have found him and cannot recommend his practice highly enough. read more

When I first came across their Yelp page, I was cautiously optimistic. So many people shared incredible stories of healing, and while I hoped to be one of them, I was also skeptical. I had seen countless dermatologists and practitioners over the years with little to no results. But I knew I needed someone whose true specialty was dermatology, and after a long search, I finally found T.Y. Wellness. I am deeply grateful I did. It's important to note: this isn't a quick fix. The liquid herbs must be taken consistently, and yes, they don't taste great; I learned to chase them with a splash of juice, which helped. But this is real healing. Not symptom-masking. Not a band-aid. This is true internal medicine that works from the inside out. And that takes time and commitment. As a longtime caregiver to parents with complex health issues, I have seen some of the differences between Eastern and Western medicine. What T.Y. Wellness offers is not just treatment--it's transformation. My eczema, which was painful, persistent, and embarrassing for years, is finally gone. I can't fully express the relief and joy that brings. Dr. Choi and Dr. Park are deeply knowledgeable, compassionate, and wise. They've also helped me navigate other health concerns along the way. With every visit, I felt genuinely cared for, not just as a patient, but as a human being. With every session, they listen attentively and respond to every concern with genuine compassion and thoughtfulness, and never rushed me. They made me feel like family, and that level of warmth and attention is rare and unforgettable. Further, Dr. Choi's willingness to teach me about my health and the medicine behind it has been invaluable, and his encouragement has meant so much to me. Yes, it was an investment. But it was one of the best I've ever made. I am beyond thankful to the doctors at T.Y. Wellness. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your commitment to healing me and for giving me my skin and health back. read more

As someone who has experienced many years with Urticaria and not understanding what can help, I tried TY Wellness for guidance. Since the first visit, I was felt welcomed. I decided to take their herbal medicine which I learned can vary from person to person. I had been going through their herbal medicine plan for about 4 months and I saw a great difference. My rashes were not as bad as they were before and I felt relieved! If there are any issues that come up again, I get checked up. They answered many questions that I had about my condition. I appreciate their patience and guidance to better my health. read more

I'm writing this review so that I can talk about my experience with Dr. Park and Dr. Choi. My eczema started in March 2024 when I went to a dental visit to get a crown and the teeth filling and I went back consecutively six times and I didn't know what was happening, but my eczema was flaring all over my skin I went to many dermatologist and I went to the emergency room several times and got prednisone, biologics and topical steroid prescribed to me over the span of eight months. However, my condition got worse. When I got off the biologics (I.e. Adbry) after two months I developed topical steroid withdrawal and bad panic attacks and that's what I had to search for another solution because the prednisone that was being prescribed to me and the topical steroids and the Biologics were not working anymore so I googled some withdrawal symptoms from topical steroids and found out that I had topical steroid withdrawal thankfully I live in LA and I was able to find Dr. Park and Dr. Choi when I was at the worst of my topical steroid withdrawal and they were able to prescribe me herbal medicine with a combination of acupuncture. That's when I completely stopped all my medication and they basically saved my life. I'm now eight months out of my topical steroid withdrawal and thankfully, I can say that my skin has never looked better. When I first came to them, my skin was completely black and red and itchy, and it was at a point where I thought I was never going to survive this time in my life because I wasn't sleeping and couldn't see any of my friends. I had insomnia. I lost 30 pounds my hair was really bad and my skin was so itchy I felt like I couldn't live in my own skin. When I saw them they were really caring and thoughtful and treated me like a daughter and they helped me with all of the issues that I had was sleep, anxiety, depression, and especially my topical steroid withdrawal and my eczema. Additionally, I had red skin syndrome which was really itchy and I had extreme hot sensations from my head to my legs which I didn't know was then prednisone and steroids trying to come out and detox from your body. If I didn't find them, I don't know what I would do. They basically saved my life and was able to make me back to my normal self like I am today and they're still helping me treat my anxiety which is better. If you ever need a doctor or a dermatologist that you need to help with your eczema, psoriasis or insomnia and/or your mental health issues I would only come here because eczema is a really difficult autoimmune condition to treat but topical steroid withdraw has so many different side effects that can happen and if you don't find a good doctor then you might end up in the emergency and be over prescribed medication. This was the hardest experience of my life and I am so grateful that they both are so loving and caring! Come here please and you won't regret it! read more

Dr. Choi has changed my life. I first came to T.Y. Wellness in 2016 for neck and back pain that was unbearable. After a few acupuncture sessions with Dr. Choi, I had much more mobility in my neck. Within a year of being under his care, I had lost 60 pounds. In 2018, I bought a house and moved 80 miles away. I tried looking for another acupuncturist closer to me. I tried several different offices, but Dr. Choi and Dr. Park set the proverbial bar too high. His knowledge, bedside manner and his compassion for his patients, amongst other great qualities, are what sets him apart from other practitioners. Despite the time and distance that is required to travel to his office, it's worth it for me to continue to be treated by him. read more

I have been going to TY Wellness for years now-- for everything including a skin condition, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, all of which western medicine doctors couldn't help with. Dr. Choi is one of the nicest people I've ever met, and he's very experienced and knowledgeable on an extremely wide range of health conditions. His priority is helping you achieve overall balance, health, and real wellness, rather than putting a bandaid on your symptoms. At this point, he is my go to for primary care. So grateful to have met Dr. Choi! read more

I found Dr. Choi and Dr. Park through Yelp, and I am so grateful that I did! I came to them with my eczema concerns, I had developed eczema all over my arms randomly as an adult. Within one month, they were able to treat my condition and make my eczema essentially disappear. I followed their nutrition advice, drank the herbal medicine, and came to weekly appointments. They are both highly intelligent doctors and I would recommend them to anyone seeking a real permanent solution to eczema, rather than a band-aid solution through steroid cream. Dr. Choi and Dr. Park have created a very comfortable environment for their patients, every time I come in I feel so relaxed and paid attention to. Thank you Dr. Choi and Dr. Park! read more

I came to Dr Choi on a recommendation from a friend for acne and digestive issues. He was wonderful, he started me on a herbal medicine, weekly accupuncture and some dietary changes that have made me feel SO MUCH BETTER, plus my skin has completely changed for the better. I could not be happier with TY Wellness and Dr. Choi. Thank you so much for helping me! read more

I was diagnosed with Lichen Planus and with the help of Dr. Choi I am now in remission. I initially did treatment with Kaiser and it got worse and I was desperate to get better. I started researching Lichen Planus and found Ty Wellness. I took a chance on the recommended Chinese Herbal Medicine/Acupuncture and saw results in matter of 2-3 months. I'm forever grateful for Dr. Choi's care. I highly recommend and keep in mind that this requires patience and self care . read more

TY Wellness Center Has been nothing but amazing towards me.

This is place i recommend for everyone to come try! read more

Here's what to expect: $100 for the 5 min consultation where they tell you that you have too much yin, not enough yang. $80 for the acupuncture. And then $350 for some inexplicable "tea," which does unknown things -- do not expect them to explain it to you because they will just tell you that you have too much yin and this absurdly expensive, totally disgusting slop will solve the problem. Spoiler: it won't. Don't be stupid like I was and waste your hard earned money. read more

TY Wellness Center - What you can expect on your first visit - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been struggling with pretty severe eczema for YEARS, and had been overusing some of the strongest topical steroids continuously throughout my body. I experienced one of the worst flares this past March 2021, and after seeing various physicians and dermatologists, was given even more steroids (topical and oral), which were not helping and something I didn't want to continue doing. I was really discouraged, frustrated, extremely sad, and was starting to lose hope. Thankfully my husband checked Yelp and found TY Wellness Center. Dr. Choi has been incredibly knowledgable about eczema and its connection to various factors (TSW, stress, diet, sleep, environment, etc). I was excited to see someone with a completely different approach who listens and understood my struggles, instead of just throwing steroids at the problem. He had me go on a specific diet while taking herbal medicine. It has been about 2 months of seeing him and my skin is finally improving! It has honestly been the best it has been in months. Dr. Choi and Dr. Park at TY Well have been AMAZING, are so friendly, and genuinely care. I highly recommend seeing them if you suffer with eczema. read more

In my experience with Dr.Choi and Dr. Park they has been the most outstanding doctors. They break down your treatment very well when it comes to acupuncture and internal medicine since they have many years of experience in the medical field. I struggled with severe back pain and acne for years and after my visits with T.Y Wellness, my skin condition and overall well being has increased significantly. I see a dramatic difference in my body functions all thanks to the help and expertise of everyone at the T.Y Wellness office. I would 100% recommend if you have any sort of emotional, physical, mental, or any other internal problem which these doctors will help you get back to full health. read more

Dr. Choi and Dr. Park are the absolute best. I can not say enough good things about these two. I have been an atopic dermatitis patient since I was 4 years old (now 29). Due to the heavy steroids I was prescribed for years, I ended up falling into Topical Steroid Withdrawal in June 2019. After reading reviews, I knew I needed to get into Dr. Choi. Dr. Choi was the first doctor that not only listen to me but had so much knowledge about something that according to my countless doctors didn't exist. He pulled out books and immediately during my consultation started educating me on what was happening to my body. For the first time in years, I felt not only heard by a doctor, but understood. Dr. Choi knows the human body, him and Dr. Park can tell immediately if I had something spicy that day, etc. They are incredible. In July 2019, I began treatments for TSW with Dr. Choi and Dr. Park. My treatments were an herbal medicine that I drank three times a day for 8 weeks as well as weekly acupuncture. I had never been treated with anything other than western medicine. It was so refreshing to hear a doctor tell me I DID NOT NEED MORE MEDICINE pumped into me, but instead needed to rid my body of toxins. I know for a fact I would not be where I am today (13 months into TSW) and looking the way I do without Dr. Choi and Dr. Park. Best doctors I have ever been to, they became like family to me. I told my parents at one point that just seeing them and hearing them tell me affirmations, that I'm strong, I will get through this, every week was invaluable during a time I was at my lowest and the most isolated. I might still be going through it but I'm 10x better than most and I owe it all to you! Thank you, thank you! Vanessa read more

I came to TY wellness because I suddenly started experiencing chronic hives / itchy, red and swollen rash on my face and neck. I was seeing another eastern medicine doctor for about two months but the condition continued and kept getting worse. I came to see Dr. Choi and Dr. Park and they immediately identified the root cause of my hives in addition to diagnosing the seborrheic eczema that I had on a large portion of my scalp (which I had left untreated for years). After two months of herbal medicine and acupuncture with Dr. Choi I'm seeing a huge improvement in my skin - not only is my complexion smoother and brighter, the hives seem to have stabilized and I haven't experienced any major flare ups. The extreme itchiness in my scalp has subsided for the first time in years and my digestion has improved as well which I learned is closely tied to skin issues. Dr Choi is honestly one of the most knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate doctors in his field and I'm so grateful to be under his care. I trust Dr Choi 100% and I highly recommend this practice to anyone who is seeking a different approach in their health journey read more

Hi you guys, I hope this review helps other souls to get better. Everything started in by the end of January 2016 when I decided to visit TY wellness I was feel so insecure about my face. I had eczema, TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal), RSS (Red Skin Syndrome) on my face for more than 5 years. It was itching, redness, burning, tightness and dry. I was using topical steroids but it was not helping much. Instead, it was making my skin worse was after I stopped using. I did not know that topical steroid cream not only affects bad on your skin but also affect your internal system. I regretted so much that I have been wearing too much make ups which also affected my skin. Dr. Choi helped me to find out that my problem was from internal. My digestion was not well, lots of anxiety, stress and sleeping problem. Also I had too much heat. At first, I was a little bit scared and I didn't know what to expect. I really appreciated that Dr.Choi and the team made me feel so secure. Because of complicated condition with Eczema, Topical Steroid Withdrawal and Red Skin Syndrome, Dr. Choi told me that the treatment can be limited. But I decided to try out and Dr. Choi said it could be a long process but I took the chance. All I wanted to be is that I get better. I controlled my diet and followed herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment. Now I'm so happy with my new skin after herbal medicine and acupuncture. I feel like a new person. I feel more relaxed, healthy and my skin glows really pretty. Even after finishing the treatment, the redness, itching, burning, tightness and dry completely gone away. Now I can do my daily routine's like going to the gym and hang out with friends without worrying about my skin. The most important thing if you guys would like to see a change need to follow the instructions. The acupuncture and the herbal medicine change my life forever. Besides that they help giving me a nice skin also the diet that I will follow for rest of my life. I am so happy that I don't suffer any more itching, hot face, burning sensation, dry, tightness and oily skin. Thank you Dr. Choi and TY Wellness. You are the best Doctor that I have ever met!! read more

I love this place. They were lifesavers! After two months of not sleeping, I went to T.Y. and after just looking at me, they were able to diagnose my issues and cure my insomnia in weeks. More specifically: - Less Anxiety/Stress, Feel more calm, Better Mood - Significantly less stomach aches - Better digestion/Less Bloating - Better Energy - Better Circulation read more

This is an update on a previous unfinished review. I went to TY Wellness in 2016. My hormonal acne improved so much with my brand new regular periods thanks to them, and improved circulation and improved stress. Their diet recommendations are spot on, much more than any gluten free obsession! With their help plus digestive enzymes I am seeing clearing skin for the first time in my life. It's not perfect bc I still do slip up and have alcohol and dairy and nuts and caffeine but when I am good my skin is GREAT. Go to them. They can help. read more

I found TY Wellness on Yelp after struggling with perioral dermatitis and rosacea. I'd been battling rosacea for years, and when I got PD I was at my wit's end. I saw my dermatologist, who prescribed topical medicine and antibiotics. The medicine didn't work as well as I would have liked so I searched for an alternative to western medicine and found TY Wellness. Dr Choi and Dr Park are extremely knowledgable and professional. I started a course of regular acupuncture and herbal medicine, along with an anti inflammatory diet. I immediately felt better. My energy levels went up and my skin slowly started to clear up. Now my skin is completely clear. I don't use any topical medicine and haven't had any flare ups of PD or rosacea. I go back once a month for an acupuncture session. It's so relaxing and I always feel calm and peaceful afterwards. I can't believe how even and clear my skin is - it's such a relief after struggling with redness, rosacea and PD. Thank you Dr Choi and Dr Park for your kindness and care. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Choi for the past 3-4 years for skin issues I had and are experiencing. Ranging from acne to eczema to dermatitis. Dr. Choi is extremely experienced in his field and I always leave his clinic feeling so much better. Having acupuncture done also relieves my stress and anxiety at the same time as we will also target those points too since those are factors that have contributed to my skin issues. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Choi as he has really enlightened me on why I am having skin issues. He has taught me how to eat better for my body sensitivity and to pay attention from an internal point of view. If you are seeking help for your skin issues, I greatly recommend paying Dr. Choi a visit! read more

Come to these doctors when you are ready to heal your skin. Dr. Choi, Dr. Hong and Dr. Park are a team of caring doctors who immediately made me feel cared for more than any other doctor I've ever visited. Dr. Choi mostly speaks Korean so Dr. Hong (Alex) translates what is being said, as the three of them discuss the patient's condition. They asked me questions about what I'd eaten, what had been going on in my life, how things made me feel. I was in a pretty depressed state when I found them. The skin condition on my face looked like a red, dry, bumpy mustache and goatee, which I thought was Perioral Dermatitis. Dr. Choi informed me that it began as that but that I also had eczema from topical steroids. They were confident my skin would be healed. I've been with this condition for 5 years, but this year has been the absolute worse. I honestly didn't have much faith it was possible to have my good skin back. Well, miracles happen and I couldn't recommend these people more. It took two rounds of herbs to see something I haven't seen in five years. My skin has cleared up. I feel happy and pretty. Thank you TY Wellness!!!!! read more

I sought the help of Dr. Choi and Dr. Park in 2017 for my daughter's eczema. She had been suffering with this skin condition and the emotional toll it took. We had taken her to several doctors, dermatologists, naturopathic doctors, ayurvedic practitioners, and other acupuncturists over the years. It had been a frustratingly endless journey. That is until she started seeing results under the care of T.Y. Wellness. In a year's time her condition and quality of life greatly improved. She still saw Dr. Choi from time to time after that but not in the last two years. Her eczema has largely been controlled and only minor flare ups occur. I am forever grateful to the TY Wellness team. I started treatment recently with TY Wellness for my diabetes. While it is an ongoing battle for me to control my blood sugar levels, my numbers had decreased greatly in a short amount of time (from my A1C of 9.2 to 6.5). I was previously only taking metformin, dieting and exercising but I was not seeing a difference in my A1C numbers until I started my weekly acupuncture sessions. I highly recommend TY Wellness to anyone feeling stuck in their journey to better health. read more

I had been dealing with a skin condition for close to two years that the dermatologist treated with nothing but the usual round of ointments and steroids to little avail. It wasn't until I sought TCM therapy when my condition began to vastly improve within a matter of weeks. I've seen various TCM specialists here in the States and abroad, and I can say with the utmost confidence that Dr. Min is an expert in his field. His is a comprehensive approach that seeks to treat the root cause, not just the symptoms - in my case, deep underlying anxiety and unpacked grief that was manifesting itself through persistent scaly plaques on my skin. It is important to note that full, effective treatment requires disciplinary effort on the part of the patient, e.g. laying off certain foods, caffeine and booze. The struggle isn't so much in the bitter taste of the herbs, it's in being kind to one's body-mind complex by curbing poor health habits - no pill can do this. Once I became committed to my treatment, my skin condition along with my dietary and sleeping habits improved to the point where I could feel a seismic shift in my energies. As my skin started clearing, so did my long struggle with writer's block, which is probably the biggest, most unexpected hallelujah in all of this. Words don't suffice in expressing my gratitude to Dr. Choi and his incredible team for their exceptional treatment and care, especially during this stressful and uncertain pandemic-ridden time. Thanks to my buoyed physical energy and enhanced mental clarity, I feel better equipped to take on life with its everyday stressors with balance, poise, and a clear face. If you're lucky enough to get in (there's usually a wait list), then be sure to take this opportunity to get your body constitution back on track - you won't regret it. read more

Ty wellness and their very good doctor have changed my life! They helped me to sleep, have better digestion, and helped give me an overall balance. Dr. Choi said it was discoid eczema and it healed after I had acupuncture and herbal medicine. I stopped oozing and itching soon after. My neck is now growing new skin. Thank you so much Ty wellness I would recommend TY Welness to everyone! read more

I have suffered from allergies and eczema for as long as I can remember. My day to day consisted of taking antihistamines and applying topical creams to manage my symptoms. As I got older I noticed my allergies and eczema getting worse, and every time, my doctors would only prescribe more antihistamines and stronger topical creams (stronger steroids, immunosuppressants). My breaking point occurred in 2022 when my eczema got so bad that it resulted in multiple visits to urgent care where I was prescribed strong oral steroids. However, every time the oral steroid prescription ended my symptoms would come back and they would be worse than before. I realized I had developed TSW (topical steroid withdrawal) from the years of steroid use and I decided to seek another option as western doctors continued to push more steroids on me. I began receiving treatment from Dr.Choi in October 2022 that consisted of acupuncture, herbal medicine and lifestyle changes. My initial TSW symptoms were so severe that I was unable to fully open my eyes, turn my neck or move my arms. I am now at the end stages of my treatment for TSW and I feel healthier than ever! I have learned eczema was only a symptom for other health issues in the body and by targeting and improving that, the eczema will no longer be an issue. Healing from TSW has been the hardest and most painful thing I have ever experienced. As the patient, it involves patience, time and commitment. However, Dr.Choi has been there with me every step of the way to educate me, provide exceptional treatment and encourage me. Dr. Choi is truly one of a kind and I highly recommend him!!!! read more

Dr. Choi and Dr. Park have been able to put me on a custom herbal medicine formula and do weekly acupuncture. They also gave me a custom eating plan. After about 2 weeks my eczema was completely gone. All the eczema inflammation, itchiness and redness is gone. The psoriasis on my torso is gone. And the psoriasis on my knees, that I have been working on healing for years, is almost completely gone. The psoriasis on my knees is also much lighter now with much less flaking and I can see my skin healing. The herbal medicine has really helped my digestion and I have been sleeping much better at night as well. The acupuncture has helped with all areas from digestion, to better stress management, to my overall health. This holistic approach is bringing me back to status so my body can heal. read more

I have been visiting TY and Dr Choi on and off for two years. I have really tight shoulders and lower back, probably from sitting at the desk all day. After a few sessions with Dr Choi they have both felt more limber and I have felt a greater range of motion in both. Additionally, as Dr Choi does a full acupuncture treatment (front and back for me), I've also realized improved digestion and general reduction of stress. I'm very happy with my treatment and that I was able to find TY! Everyone there is also a pleasure to work with read more

TT Wellness Center and their wonderful staff have changed my life! I had a bad case of eczema flare up for several months. It got to a point where I was losing sleep and wasn't able to function normally at work because of the constant itching. Prior to TY I tried almost every single "eczema remedy". This included multiple trips to different dermatologists, several steroid creams, ointments and injections, and every eczema product on Amazon I could find. I was spending $$$ and the thought of having this skin condition for the rest of my life depressed me. Then I found Dr. Min Choi. His treatment consisted of taking herbal drinks, following a specific diet and accupuncture. At first I was a little hesitant but decided to give it a try. Within the first two weeks my eczema was much improved. It's now been two months since my first treatment and my case of eczema has completely healed and disappeared. I no longer have the urge to itch and can finally move on living a normal life! read more

Do yourself a favor- BOOK AN APPOINTMENT. Dr. Choi and his team are top notch. He used to work as a physician for the Chinese Government. I should've done the review months ago. Dr. Choi took me from chronic pain and visits 3xs a week, to now I see him whenever I have an issue (it's been at least 2 months). It's almost unbelievable that I can say that. I have a very high stress job and I'm a perfectionist so my shoulder, back, sciatica, carpal, twitching eye...and more were at an all time high when I met him. I dont know what he did but he put me in my place and the difference was evident after the initial visit. He even helped with a random burn I got on my arm. It was a fresh burn and he noticed it during a visit. He offered to help as it was pretty gnarly and big. Well even that is nearly invisible!!! Cut to today...I'm happy as a clam these days!! TRUST ME - they are compassionate and give exceptional care! I even sent my boss and she really spoke highly of them. read more

My main issue was my scalp. I believe I had some sort of scalp psoriasis. For the last 3-4 years I have always had these red, irritated bumps all over my scalp. They would flare up and get really itchy some days, to the point where it would bleed because I would scratch it. I would sometimes get dandruff too (I had a lot when I first came into the clinic - gross, I know). I noticed that because I was scratching so hard and so much, that I was losing noticeably more hair as well. I was scared I was going to cause permanent hair loss, so I decided enough was enough and I needed to get this treated. They would never really go away, even with zinc shampoo, T-sal, over the counter stuff. I didn't want to go to a western doctor because I knew they would simply ask me to use the OTC stuff or steroid cream, which never really solves the issue but just masks the symptoms. I came into TY Wellness Center with an open mind, open to the idea of using Eastern medicine to help my condition. Everyone working there was super friendly and helpful. When I first met Dr. Choi, we had a consultation and he said I had a lot of heat in my body. He also asked if I was gassy, bloated or had digestion issues. I did. I had all of the above. A few days prior to seeing him, I was VERY bloated and it was so uncomfortable. The first session with him, I had acupuncture done and he gave me some herbal medicine packets which lasted a little over two weeks. I had to take 3 packets a day. After completing two acupuncture sessions and finishing a whole box, I am onto my new box of herbal medicine. I still have a little bit of dandruff, but I have seen probably a 70-80% reduction in dandruff fallout when I scratch my head. My scalp has improved probably the same amount. I find that I am scratching so much less, which in turn has made the wounds and bumps less irritated, red and inflamed. My overall skin condition seems to have improved as well, which is likely due to the combination of my change in diet, herbal medicine and acupuncture. I do want to note that eastern medicine is not a quick fix. It will take time and you have to be patient. I expect that in 2-3 more weeks, my scalp dandruff should be almost completely gone. In general, I just feel healthier and happier now that my scalp isn't driving me crazy. Thank you so much Dr. Choi, Dr. Park & Alex for helping me. They are all so friendly and understanding. read more

I'm very glad that I found TY Wellness. I was dealing with a rash that affected my eyes and the area around my eyes and the back of my neck. This rash came on after a very stressful period of time in my life and got inflamed very quickly. My eyes were so swollen in the mornings I could barely see out of them. I went to several different doctors, allergists, etc and no one was able to really help me other than prescribing steroids which I really didn't want to be on long term. After about 7 months with the rash I found TY Wellness on yelp and came to them for help. Both Dr Choi and Dr Park were understanding and very positive that they could help me. They showed me a book that explained my condition (neurodermatitis eczema) and outlined a treatment plan for me. I did 6 weeks of acupuncture and herbal medicine as well as a strict diet (which I was already on prior to seeing them) but I also added in their recommendation to eliminate things that cause heat in the body like hot spice, turmeric, pepper etc. During my treatment I wasn't totally sure if the herbal medicine was working and I did have one flare up because of the heat but I kept with the treatment and am really happy to say that my symptoms are in remission and that the swelling i had in my eyes has been completely eliminated. If you are dealing with eczema or any type of mystery rash go to Ty Wellness see Dr Choi and Dr Park - they will help you resolve the issue in a healthy and balanced way! read more

Disclaimer: PICTURE BELOW IS GRAPHIC. This is my first yelp review but I'm here because T.Y. Wellness changed my life. I actually live in northern VA, not LA where T.Y. Wellness is located. Dr. Choi and Alex accommodated the distance by calling me every week to check up on me and shipping medicine to me. 3 years ago, I suffered from severe Eczema. I originally used topical steroids on the areas affected (mainly my cheeks, hands, and legs) for over a year before I decided to look for an eastern medicine solution. I was pretty hopeless because I tried every kind of lotion, skincare, sea salt baths, oatmeal baths, nothing worked. I researched extensively nationwide to find a doctor who could treat my eczema, but there was no one that could help. I found out later on that even worldwide, there are not a lot of doctors that successfully treat eczema naturally. Luckily I found T.Y. Wellness on yelp. Found out that Dr. Choi practiced in prestigious hospital in Beijing, China and practiced both Chinese and western medicine as a chief dermatologist. I called T.Y. Wellness right away to book an appointment. I flew out to LA to meet with Dr. Choi and his team. Once there, Dr. Choi's consultation was very thorough. My evaluation was focused on finding out the root cause of my eczema, which was based on my immune system, digestive function, stress, and environmental factors. I was told that even if there are the same eczema symptoms, the treatment could be different depending on the root cause. They recommended strict dieting, herbal medicine, and lots of rest. After 3 months of following Dr Choi's recommendation, I made a full recovery. Fast forward to 2017, I had resumed my normal lifestyle as a food-lover and had been eating whatever I wanted, including spicy food, fried food, pork belly, etc. My leg had a small case of Eczema flare-up, but since I lived in VA, I didn't travel to LA. After a year of dealing with the condition on my leg, it got to a point where I ended up with a severe infection, I went back to LA to see T.Y. Wellness. My skin condition was pretty terrible and Dr. Choi was concerned that I would not make a recovery. I am 2.5 months in to going back to a strict diet and herbal medicine. Luckily I had the flexibility to work from home as I could not wear pants from the oozing and infection. It is NOT easy to heal from the state that I had left my skin in, but Dr. Choi and Alex made it happen. I feel almost no itching, oozing, redness, and burning anymore. I'm happy to notice a lot of new skin has grown to repair the damage that was there. I am not 100% healed yet, but I am confident I will be able to make a full recovery. T.Y. Wellness has been super accommodating, they care about my well being, and I cannot thank TY Wellness enough for changing my life and healing my skin. WARNING: PICTURE IS GRAPHIC - skin is dry because I have not been using lotion. I find that every time I use lotion my skin would ooze/weep. This is what works for me, not sure about everyone else. read more

TY Wellness Center - Severe infection after dealing with eczema on my leg for a year untreated. Currently making a recovery thanks to T.Y. Wellness. - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was born with eczema covering most of my body. As I got older, the eczema has mostly disappeared except for a couple reoccurring spots on my fingers and ankle. I would still get pretty regular flare ups, and I wanted to find a fix as "growing out of it" does not seem to be in the cards. Also, steroid creams had bleached my skin in the past so I wanted to avoid those as well. Enter Dr. Choi and the TY Wellness team. This was my first foray into eastern medicine, so I really had no idea what to expect. At my initial consult Dr. Choi took a look at my skin and prescribed a treatment of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and an adjusted diet. Unlike western doctors or dermatologists I've seen in the past, Dr. Choi wanted to treat the source of my eczema, rather than the symptoms. They looked at my body as a system that was malfunctioning, rather than just trying to ease my itchiness. Once they fix my "insides", the rest of my issues should clear up. One week into treatment, I can confidently say that there is a difference in my skin. Not only that, after my acupuncture treatments I definitely sleep better as well! My complexion is brighter and there is very little itchiness. I look forward to completing my treatment and being eczema free. read more

From 2014 to October 2017 I managed to control my acne with Bactrim DS. I didn't have acne during this time but my skin was very oily. In October, I started to break out in painful nodular acne that was mostly in my chin area, along with acne on my scalp. My digestion was also very poor. With TY Wellness' guidance and herbal treatment, I am now much less oily and there has been a significant improvement and overall skin tone. My scars seem to have become shallower as well. The greatest improvement has been my digestion, which has normalized. read more
