Lydia is amazing at what she does. She is so gentle and works with you and eases you into the treatment. She has significantly helped me with my chronic shoulder/back tension. It was definitely interesting at first because its vastly different from how we know medicine and how we are treated when you go to a typical doctor's office. This process is slower and it really treats you from the inside out without additional pharmacological agents and that to me is all worth the slow steady healing.

Lydia Kim helped me with issues associated with being a menopausal woman. She was kind, caring, experienced and understanding, all while remaining professional and efficient. She took the time to text me suggestions for herbal remedies as well as other products that helped alleviate my symptoms. I went to two of her offices, one in Jericho and one in Great Neck, both places were clean, warm, quiet and very relaxing. I would highly recommend Lydia to anyone seeking acupuncture or other eastern medicine remedies, as she is extremely knowledgeable as well as insightful enough to see the overall picture and treat the whole person, not just the ailment that brought you in for help.

Lydia Kim has successfully treated my pinched sciatica after only a few treatments, something physical therapy was unable to achieve. She even was able to improved my allergies through acupuncture.Lydia is very professional and caring, trying to find the best treatment for her patients, even suggesting Chinese herb supplements for overall better health. Her office is clean and warm, with heated tables and heating lamps keeping her patients comfortable with soothing music playing in the background. I was amazed of how many ailments Lydia is able to treat with her extensive knowledge of her craft.I would strongly recommend Lydia Kim for any acupuncture treatment.
