An exceptional Korean acupuncture practice with a truly calming atmosphere and outstanding bedside manner. Every session feels deeply restorative -- I often drift off to sleep because the treatments are so peaceful and effective. They also offer affordable bundled pricing and a lovely selection of healing teas that add to the overall wellness experience. What sets this practitioner apart is not only his skill, but also his patience, wisdom, and genuine care. He takes the time to listen, explain, and provide thoughtful guidance that goes beyond the treatment itself. I left each visit feeling heard, supported, and noticeably better. Honestly, the level of personalized care and attention I received exceeded many traditional medical appointments. Highly recommend to anyone seeking holistic healing and compassionate care. read more

I love Dr Chong. He really knows his Accupuncture. I always go into a deep sense of relaxation during the treatment.

Korean acupuncturist with top notch bedside manner. They also offer bundled pricing. I always fall asleep during my sessions--so peaceful! They also sell healing teas. This healing practitioner offers great insight and he's patient. So happy I received his advice. Better bang for my buck than seeing a therapist! read more

I don't believe in acupuncture until I really experience how amazing it is. I suddenly had worse pain on my wrist and thumb due to my daily work. It hurt me badly when I moved my hand of touch it. My friend urged me to see acupuncture, and I did, after 1st time, my pain gone 90%. Very amazing read more

This was my first time trying acupuncture and I had a really great experience here. Dr Chong goes into great detail about the different styles of acupuncture and the differences from Western medicine. He also makes some excellent (and funny) analogies. I was surprised by how immediate the relief was after my first visit. The most surprising part was that there were areas of my body that felt better that I didn't even know were being impacted-- after my first treatment on my legs I was SHOCKED how light my feet felt. It was like I had been unconsciously clenching and was finally able to relax. Although my experience here was excellent, I do get more long lasting and sustained relief from my symptoms w PT. If I had the money to do both, I absolutely would, but still recommend this practice 100% read more

Dr. Chong is a caring and effective acupuncturist! He truly cares about each of his patients. He takes time to listen to my concerns and educate me on the treatment plan. For instance, he explained to me how acupuncture works, what to expect, and how to follow up after each session. I had a myriad of things I presented with, and he ensured to address them all. I was skeptical but I am a full believer at this time. I've been going for about twice a week over the last month and I am feeling much better, my sciatic pain has diminished, and I do not rely on sleep medicine anymore. For example, before I started acupuncture, I could barely walk or sit without pain, and I had to take sleeping pills every night. Now, I can move freely, and I fall asleep naturally. Here is what you will find with Dr. Chong: -A genuine person with a big heart -Listens to your concerns and educates you on the treatment plan -Addresses all your issues with acupuncture -Helps you feel better, reduce pain, and sleep well Thank you Dr. Chong and your staff (Monica, Joy, Min) for always taking such good care of me. Your staff is the best! read more

I'm afraid of needles. So seeking out an acupuncturist wasn't an easy choice for me since one bad experience could have turned me away for good. I ended up choosing Yedam for my acupuncture. The receptionists (both of them) at the front desk are amazing and helpful. The place is very clean and has a good vibe to it. Dr. Chong is amazing and always has a wonderful attitude when you see him. He explains everything about the process as well as the goals of treatment. He cares about the patient and is very easy to talk to. I've been going for 7 or 8 weeks now. If it didn't work or sucked I definitely would have stopped after the first time. read more

He diagnosed "Weal kidney" and "Weak Liver" initially and according to him these 2 organs were getting stronger/balance while Ii was seeing him 2 times a week. However, he changed his initial diagnosis to Stress hormones problem. I didn't get any benefits from his treatment/sessions whatsoever. I went to see Dr Hoyoon Chong and explain my problems/ issues before scheduling my sessions with him. He said he can help me with my symptoms of Angry outbursts, irritations, Not feeling good etc. I followed his directions and visited him from April 2021---June 2021. I have had 2 sessions per week and total of 18 session with him. I started eating steam vegetable as he suggested. The good thing about him is he listens to you and explain what he thinks. His office communicates well with you and office is clean. read more

I have had several issues for an extended period of time. One was a terrible cough that would not go away. I have had multiple treatments and testing, nothing helped. After two sessions my cough is almost gone! Also after an injury a year ago my hands would swell and were so painful, this has improved significantly since I have began acupuncture. The office is clean, neat and peaceful. The receptionist is helpful and very friendly. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Hoyoon Chong, his team and his office. His treatment saved me in many ways. Don't let the needles scare you. It does not hurt. I rest incredibly well during the treatment and usually doze off. I recommend Yedam Well Being wholeheartedly. read more

Yedam Well Being Center - Acupuncture Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

I visited for acupuncture. This is a really good, clean, client-focused practice. I definitely received benefits for sleep issues. Dr. Chong gives full information and a lot of good advice. I will return even though the location is not close to where I live. read more

I've been coming here for about a year now for numerous different issues - chronic pain, allergies, sinus issues, gastrointestinal issues and sleep issues. Consultation is very thorough and effective. I always walk away feeling better. I've brought my 11 year old here and he's done well as well. I strongly recommend them. read more

I want to thank Dr. Chong and his staff for the wonderful treatment I get whenever I come for my sessions. I have had 10 visits to the clinic and I've never had a negative experience. I started going there for pain on my lower right side of my back, aswell as pain on my left ankle, elbow, wrist and shoulder. Now, I am able to move alot better with almost 95% less pain on all the issues I mentioned. At first I was skeptical, but now, I am a believer. I will be going 2x a month now for maintenance. Dr. Chong is a true professional, who is very patient, and cares about how I was feeling. He listens to whatever concerns or pain that I am feeling and addresses them. He also explains the process on what he is doing. Bottom line, he cares about his patients! As an IFBB Professional bodybuilder, I am so very greatful and thankful that he is helping me recover after years of abusing my body lifting heavy weights at the gym, and also coping with my spinal fusion surgery I had back in 2012. He is the real deal!! And his office staff are just the best!! read more

I had my 3rd visit today here and once again, with no fail, had a very productive visit. I hadn't visited in a while so it felt good to be back. I wrote a review about my first visit and attached it (wrote it in my notepad app cause didn't want it to get erased while I type).... so you can read that one. Today is just an update and had a wonderful time again. Dr. Chong is just amazing and as I mentioned in my review of my first visit, he sincerely cares and is no way pressed for your money. He always recommends sessions just for your betterment but doesn't force it on you. I love that and so I got more sessions :) but if you're looking for the best place for accupuncture, look no further and read my attached photo where I talk about my first experience. read more

Yedam Well Being Center - Acupuncture Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Dr. Chong is the best acupuncturist in NoVa hands down. I have been to many Korean and Chinese acupuncturists in my lifetime including the ones in Annandale. He spends time explaining your illnesses and the causes behind them. He has great bedside manners, is always smiling and is extremely empathetic, understanding & compassionate. I have had acupuncture done here myself for my back pain by Dr. Chong- awesome! I have also been taking my elderly mother here and he has been the only one to make a difference in her health. She has bouts of dizziness, back pain and neuropathy in both of her legs and feet which are extremely painful. Dr. Chong has changed her quality of life. I bought 10 prepaid sessions and more for my motger We have tried other Korean acupuncturists in Annandale but Dr. Chong is light years ahead of the rest although his birth age is younger than the others. He is a 3rd generation acupuncturist. Dr. Chong is always busy with patients that are Korean, American and many other nationalities as he is bilingual. Even though his schedule is usually fully committed, the receptionists will always squeeze you in. Front desk team is always sweet, courteous and very helpful. If you want the best acupuncturist for your pain or illnesses, you should definitely come here! read more

Amazing experience! This doctor really knows his stuff and took the time to explain everything! I've had acupuncture many times in the last but never experienced this level of knowledge! read more

This was my first time having acupuncture. My Dr recommended trying acupuncture for a neck issue as I didn't have insurance. I was listened to and had 5 sessions. The neck issue was very bad with lots of inflammation. It took 3 sessions before I started getting relief. After the 5th session within a few days I was back to normal! read more

Never felt better! I suffer from fibromyalgia, shoulder/neck pain and chronic migraines. After years of physical therapy, massage, marijuana, over the counter drugs and visits to the chiropractor, Yedam is the only thing that has helped. I no longer toss and turn for hours to fall asleep nor do I feel tension or aches during the day. I felt a noticeable difference with my first appointment but after two sessions for the past 4 weeks (8 sessions total, each session 30 mins), I feel AMAZING. Acupuncture is not painless, but Dr. Chong is skilled so the discomfort is minimal and totally worth it. My insurance did nor cover however I was able to use my fsa/hsa card. Prices are very reasonable, you can also purchase a package to get free sessions. read more

This practice was a great choice for me. I enjoy the convenience of online scheduling and the service is exceptional. They did a great job of explaining my treatment and it is working! read more

I am so full of gratitude for Dr. Chong. I went to him over a year ago to ask for help with difficulty sleeping and fertility. I didn't want to go to a fertility clinic and he encouraged me to do acupuncture and also try the custom-made Korean herbal medicine. It was pricy but he told such great stories about women getting pregnant within just a few months on it. I tried a 5 week batch with regular treatments and we got pregnant that cycle! I continued to see Dr. Chong until 10 weeks. After a healthy uneventful pregnancy, I went to see him for induction acupuncture which helped me to dilate to 3cm without drugs. Dr. Chong is very wise and willing to discuss and research many subjects. His staff is professional and kind and very encouraging--almost loving! I can't recommend this practice enough. read more

Love this place! Doctor was great and compassionate. Appointment was on time. Nothing negative to say.!check them out!

Im so happy and grateful I came here. Hoyoon Chong being the 3rd generation in his family is so impressive and I have so much respect for him. I felt a difference after one treatment for the tingling in my thigh (Meralgia Paresthetica) that I have had for most of this year. I was about to give up after months of physical therapy, weeks of chiropractic care and trying any and everything my Doctor of Western medicine and research said to do. This success has made me want to learn all I can about Korean Medicine. Hoyoon Chong and the staff here are very nice, knowledgeable and flexible with appointments and my questions. I wish came here sooner. read more

This is my first time writing a review, and it was worth the wait. I have fibromyalgia, suffered from anxiety, insomnia, allergies, etc. Regardless of my concern - Dr. Chong always helps. He also healed my Mom's knee pain that she's had for years. He treats the root of the issue not just the symptoms, which leaves me feeling better than when I came in...without medications (although his herbal medicine is customized and works wonders - just like his acupuncture). Not only does Dr. Chong have a gift for healing, he is very knowledgeable and enjoys sharing what he knows! He is very easy to talk to and breaks things down in layman's terms. I've been to countless doctors over the past 14 years for pain, and left every single one as they couldn't give the relief that I needed. Dr. Chong is the only one who ever could. When I am in pain or need mental relief, he is the only doctor who comes to mind. He really is a Godsend. read more

Acupuncture here is quick, easy, and effective. Dr. Chong has great bedside manners and is very good at explaining things. I actually came from a different acupuncturist because I wasn't seeing any results. I have trigger finger in two of my fingers and tried cortisol shots already. I did not want to get surgery so I started seeing Dr. Chong weekly. I can confidently say my symptoms have reduced significantly. I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

Helped me with my insomnia. Sleeping much better now. I was waking up after 3 hours for no reason pretty often enough to make me desperate enough to go seek help, but acupuncture and herbal medicine here helped fix me back. Basically back to my normal self. Also had sharp and deep pain behind neck and left shoulder blade, did one acupuncture session and it was much improved the next day and then even better each day after that, and pretty much the pain disappeared after 5 days or so. read more

Good experience with this center. The doctor is very well versed in Accupuncture and explains everything to you clearly so you understand what he is addressing and why. I have visited multiple centers and little success by the the technicians there - not the case @ Yedam! Severe back pain which after 2-3 treatments did subside considerably. This guy knows what he is doing! read more

I really like this Dr. Chong And his facility! I got fertility tea and acupuncture and got pregnant in 1 month after trying without it for almost a year. I was very anal about doing everything he suggested but it worked. He's also really sweet and easy to talk to. I also love the tea in the waiting area. I look forward to my sessions there. read more

I came here with my spouse who never experienced acupuncture. When we walked into the clinic, receptionists were very welcoming. We waited a few minutes and entered the therapy room. As we walked in, I could tell my husband was getting anxious until he spoke with Dr. Cheong! My husband was at ease once Dr. Cheong explained the differences between Western and Oriental practices and how it works. Needless to say, we loved our first experience at Yedam and can not wait to return. Thank you again! read more

I had lower back problems for many years. I've been gone to emergency and urgent care, but none of their treatments help. Since I started my 3rd treatments with Dr. Chong all my lower back pain is gone. Dr. Chong literally saved my back pains. I referred to my Dad who is 76-years-old. He's not a fan of acupuncture. After one treatment for his knee. He felt great and love it! He's definitely going back for other treatments. I really appreciate it Dr. Chong for what he have done to me and my family. I highly recommended. read more

I found this place on Yelp! go figure, lol. I was researching to find a good place to get acupuncture because I was in a lot of pain and the place I normally went to suddenly changed. So I called Yedam on a Saturday and they were able to see me in a couple of hours. The receptionist was very kind and helpful, and when I arrived I immediately felt a vibe of serenity (you could smell all the healing herbs). But the best part about my visit was Dr. Chong. What an incredibly kind person he is. This was my first experience with Korean method acupuncture and he really took his time during the acupuncture and very thoroughly explained everything to me. He knew I was in a lot of pain so he made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The care and compassionate he showed me was amazing! AH-MA-ZING!!!!! I have already told several friends to come try this place. Added bonus - there is a special coupon on Yelp so you can save some $$$. IMOP no need to try anywhere else -this place is GOLDEN. :) read more

After 16 years of being in retail my feet are pretty messed up. I've had surgery for neuromas and a bunion on my right foot and experience pain in my left. I also have pain in my lower back, neck, and shoulders. Every week Dr. Chong carefully places and removes the needles and my pains are cured. It is nothing short of miraculous! read more

I have been suffering with my lower back pain and sciatica. Last year it became worst. I had 3 epidural injections that did not work (waste of money), they recommended open back surgery ( of course not). I had been going to a spa where they are supposed to have an acupressure massage and another injection from a spine center. In short, i found Dr. Chong thru the internet for acupuncture, he is very good. He also did an acupressure on my back, with that said, finally i found someone who does an acupressure right, very knowledgeable. I will be seeing him more often. read more

I suffered from chronic hives that began mid March. I was put on two rounds of steroids and was taking a mixture of five anti histamines and nothing was working. I was miserable and felt sick from the lack of sleep and the discomfort from the itching and stinging all over my body which the hives were causing. By around end of May I discovered Dr. Chong and he began to treat me with acupuncture three times a week and herbs. Within two weeks my condition significantly improved and the rashes began to disappear. I can't thank Dr. Chong enough. I am still continuing acupuncture because my neck and shoulder pain is gone and I feel very good overall. read more

I was always a little skeptical about getting acupuncture but my mother, who is a second generation korean, has done it many times before and said it works very well with relieving pain and inflammation. I sprained my ankle from a skateboarding injury so I decided to give yedam well being center a try. I called in and scheduled an appointment. As I made my way into the office, my ankle had already been sprained for about 2 days. Keep in mind the range of motion in my foot was about 40% there and very painful to walk on. After a 5 minute wait in their waiting room, I was called in. Doctor Hoyoon Chong examined my ankle and asked me a few questions and then I laid down on their medical bed. He began the acupuncture which to my surprise, was not as painful as I expected. Sure, it felt like a slight prick but nothing that was too overwhelming. I laid down with the needles in me for about 25 minutes. Within that time I fell asleep, the acupuncture seemed to have put me at a very relaxed state. When the doctor came back in he carefully took each needle out and asked me to stand up. I was still skeptical at this point because I was not sure if it would hurt to stand on my ankle. But yet again to my surprise, the pain on my ankle was about 75% gone. Range of motion in my foot was 75% there! I was amazed. This was definitely a pleasant experience for me. Well, I left feeling very happy and walked normally to my car. Although there was still some pain left, it was bearable to walk on. I highly suggest trying this place out if you are interested in alternative ways of healing injuries. This doctor is amazing at acupuncture and quickened the healing process of my sprained ankle. Forever thankful! read more

I have been treated by both doctors Puramo Chong and Hoyoon Chong. I have a protruted disk and painful sciatica issues. There was a point I was bent forward and could not stand straight. These doctors are truly amazing. They make the pain go away in 10 minutes!!! Before finding Yedam Well Being Center, I was seeing another doctor, every week for six months. Now, I go to see them probably at around 6 times per year. Two thumbs up! read more

I am 69 years old and was diagnosed several years ago with sleep apnea. Recently, my sleep problems worsened. I was waking up three or four times a night, rising exhausted and headachy, and requiring several fitful naps in the afternoon. A sleep study indicated that I also had something related to restless leg syndrome, a continue that causes repeated leg kicks throughout the night. Not wanting to take sedatives--one recommended treatment--I contacted doctor Chong at Yedam Well-Being Center and started seeing him for acupuncture two times a week. My symptoms started improving immediately, and now, after about two months, I am waking up only once or twice a night, am calmer, and have much more energy. I'm seeing him once a week now, and will eventually go to once a month. I'm very thankful for doctor Chong for being such a good listener and teacher and for his staff for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend Yedam Well-Being Center.La read more
