Great experience! I have been visiting Dr. Kang for 3 months and I can tell many positive changes in my energy and mobility. I’m new to acupuncture and it has helped with my digestive processes and my ability to relax. All of the herbs and sessions together are making me feel so much better. Dr. Kang gives great advice and easy to follow plan. She is very easy to talk too and shares many relevant examples on how to improve my overall health and well-being.

After 6 weeks of treatment with Dr. Kang, I feel so much better! Came in for back, knee, foot pain, & weight loss. Started regimen of acupuncture, cupping, nutritional change, herbal prescription & I have found more energy, more motivation to exercise. As a result, the pain is much more bearable & in general I am more relaxed and able to do much more. This lifestyle change takes time but I’m glad I found Chinese medicine. I love working with Dr Kang as a team to improve my overall health. My husband says I look much better. I’m going to learn more as a nurse myself about this holistic regimen to improve my health & my family down the road.

I started seeing Dr. Kang a few weeks ago for sciatica issues. I had a couple of cupping and acupuncture sessions and my sciatica is barely even there. My skin also looks better from the diet she put me on. I definitely recommend seeing her.

I want to tell everyone that has cancer that you need to fight with cancer, by eating healthy, rest, exercise, thinking positively, not letting anyone to scare you that there is no hope. I hate to cry, but it is true that lots of cancer patients were told by the doctors that you need to do chemo, radiation surgery, all these treatment are doing more harm that really helping you to heal. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart, when I came to Dr. Kang March 2025, I had stage four beast cancer, now I am cancer free. Thanks to Dr. Kang and her staff at medical acupuncture nutrition in Decatur ga. I have combined acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, exercise, and mediation to help me to heal.

The traditional doctors prescribed me anti-anxiety medicine which made me feel sluggish. I started acupuncture cupping with De. Kang and felt immediately relief my anxiety is more uber control. I feel more energy and at easy. I can sleep longer. I also notice my cycle no longer heavy which helped me to better cope with stress. I no longer easily feel anxious by little things. Thank you Dr. Kang. I want to use this nature care to improve my long term well-being.
