Full patient reflections

Pain

I've been seeing Dr. Shua Kim for acupuncture treatments for about 8 weeks. In that time, I have seen noticeable improvements in the specific pain issues we were working on. As a bonus, I have also seen improvements in the circulation in my feet.

Lower back pain

Shua has magic hands! She treated me for lower back pain and after 5 sessions, I am not feeling pain anymore.

I drove from Easton, CT 5 times (that's right, over 2 hours drive each way) to see her and be treated by her especially.

She always listens carefully to my concerns, and is very caring and reassuring. You can tell that she focuses all her energy on helping her patients. This 5 element methods is very unique and gentle, and perfect for people who, like myself, have a fear of needle.

Anxiety

Shua is a great acupuncturist and really helped me with my anxiety using her 5-element acupuncture technique! I've been to a few different acupuncturists but this unique style she uses I've found to yield the best results. My anxiety got A LOT better with just 5 treatments and I feel my mind is not racing anymore and I can think clearly.

Skin and digestion

I always feel super comfortable in her office and feel lucky that I can turn to her if I need to!! I very highly recommend Shua and her gentle touch and warm demeanor, along with her great knowledge about the human body!! And yes-she checks tongue and pulse and is a great diagnostician :)

I went to Clear Acupuncture for skin problems and digestive issues. I had multiple acupuncture sessions by Dr. Shua Kim and noticed significant improvement of my symptoms within weeks! I highly recommend her practice

Whole-person care

Shua was so thoughtful and sensitive and immediately set to work with her five elements acupuncture (less needles more manipulation). She was always very professional and constantly reassessing my needs as a patient. She not only helped through acupuncture but suggested further dietary aids that saved me through the worst of it!

First visit

I had an opportunity to see Dr. Kim. With a quick chat, she was able to identify the area I was having pain with, and told me the exact procedure she was going to perform, as well as describing the pain level. It was a pleasant experience, and my lower back issue was relieved after my first visit.

I was always a bit hesitant around acupuncture, but through my experience with Dr. Kim, I plan on visiting again soon. I highly recommend her profession if you guys are looking.

Shoulder pain and cosmetic acupuncture

I had a hard time for years with shoulder pain, but after seeing Dr Kim, it really really improved after two sessions! And now I’m seeing her for cosmetic acupuncture and women issues. I can definitely see the difference! So excited to see Dr. Kim and very very satisfied with her treatment! (Just trust her! She is really good!)
