Review from Charlotte M.

I picked Kim Nguyen of East West Medicine based on Yelp reviews and she has completely exceeded my expectations! I cannot say enough good things about her and how acupuncture has profoundly changed my migraines- in frequency, severity, and location.
Her 2nd floor office is serene & calm and immediately puts you at ease. Kim is professional, extremely knowledgeable, and an excellent clinician. She is friendly, approachable, cares about patient outcomes and does her best to make a positive difference in your health. She is certified in Oriental Medicine (by the National Certification Commission on Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) so she is certified to practice acupuncture & Chinese medicine-- not just one or the other-- Trust me-- she knows her stuff.
I highly, highly recommend her because of her abilities as a clinician and the improvement she has made to my health and well-being. -

I was in a bike accident last Sunday; long story short a tree branch almost fell on me. My shoulders were pretty banged up and the left side of my body nicely tenderized a la concrete. One of my co-workers said I should get a massage, and then I remember Kim N. did shiatsu massage! So I gave Dr. Nguyen a call and she was able to book me the same day. It turns out, acupuncture is covered by my insurance... so why not take the whole-istic approach?
Dr. Nguyen was attentive and professional. I was wondering how having a friend treat me would turn out, but she was very serious about my health. She evaluated my entire existence in one interview and a pulse reading... I didn't know one could identify 25 characteristics about a person just from their pulse. I was ready to believe anything at this point, I mean, the teachings gained from thousands of years of practice make for sound credentials.
When it came down to the nitty gritty, it was mostly painless. Dr. Nguyen's deft hands were hardly noticeable. I actually didn't realize I had needles in my legs until she took them out. Dr. Nguyen's trade expands beyond the realm of acupuncture of course, when she showed me the Korean Cupping.. cups? Cupping is something I saw happen to my uncle in Seoul. Dreadful sight really, all that skin sucked up into those little bulbs... I never thought it would be something that might help me. Yet, there i was, lying on a table, getting a humongous hickey from a plastic bell. I wish there was a clearer way to describe it...
Bell goes over skin. She pumps. Skin feels tight and weird. Some time later the bell comes off and your bruise/tenderness feels better.
In all seriousness, later that evening I went out for a ride to check on the severity of my injuries; ended up riding a good 20 miles without discomfort. Kudos to you Kim, I'm back on the road already! -
Review from Bill L.

I sought out an acupuncturist to see if there was help for a chronic sinus infection I had been struggling with for well over a year.
My ENT specialist was doing little more than periodically loading me up with antibiotics and suggesting surgery may be the only option. One thing I did do was to get tested for allergies and much to my surprise I have limited allergies, for which I am now getting shots. As you might expect I was quite frustrated with western medicine.
Kim has been a bright spot in my recovery. Although I still get allergy shots, she has been able to help relieve my sinus infection symptoms. She continues to work on what remains of my infection while helping me with chronic back pain due to significant arthritis and spinal degeneration.
My wife has insomnia and I have suggested she see Kim for help. After seeing how much better I am, she agreed. More on this story later... -

Woohoo! As good as it gets! - is right! Kim has been extremely helpful in helping with some anxiety as well as over-all health. I've come in before with a bit of a cold that she was able to help , a bit of shoulder pain and back pain that she was able to relieve. Kim put's a lot of effort and care into making sure nothing is painful (and acupuncture is not painful at all, barely feel it) and with a mix of suggested herbs/acupuncture she helps to get things back to normal. I am now a firm believer in Acupuncture and recommend it to anyone from a small to big issue. Through a series of questions and routine checkups when you visit you definitely get the feeling she is there to help. 5 stars!

Dr. Nguyen is amazing. I've seen her now for multiple treatments, for acupuncture and herbal treatments ranging from colds to stomach aches. I had never gone to an acupuncturist before Dr. Nguyen and was a bit nervous, but her calm and caring demeanor quickly put me at ease. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time and effort to explain her philosophy of care to you. She truly cares about her patients and it shows. If you're looking for an acupuncturist, I highly recommend her.

Meet the Business Owner: Kim N.
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist in Virginia and certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in Chinese acupuncture, herbology, biomedicine and the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
My acupuncture practice opened following a demanding 4-year graduate program at San Francisco's American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which was the first college in the nation to be approved to offer the Master's of Science degree in TCM in 1986. Upon graduation, I returned back to my hometown to pursue my dreams of having my own patients in the Falls Church community and beyond.
When I am not practicing Acupuncture or Herbology, I like to stay active and mindful with yoga, find healthy recipes, watch films or enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.
