I’ve been working with Dr. Kang for about three months and I’ve noticed many improvements in my overall well being. She’s made various nutrition suggestions, too. I feel less chronic pain and more balanced and energized. Very grateful for her!

Amrin Siddique

My first visit to Medical Acupuncture and Nutrition—Dr. Kang’s clinic—was for my back pain. She explained everything very clearly and made me feel comfortable. After receiving cupping and acupuncture treatments from Dr. Kang, I noticed a great improvement. Earlier, I used to struggle with stiff back and neck pain, but after a few months of treatment, I feel much more relaxed and relieved. Dr. Kang is highly skilled in her approach, and the herbal medication she prescribed has greatly supported my recovery. I would definitely recommend her clinic to anyone seeking effective herbal and acupuncture treatments.

I felt much better after just few acupuncture treatment ls. with Dr.Yu Kang. My movement is flexible while before it was difficult to move. I like her approach with herbs nutrition. The foot soaking with ginger and orange peal tea helps my digestion and swollen ankles. Dr. Yu Kang is the best acupuncturist in Atlanta Ga.

Margie Wong

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.
