What people are saying…

  • Mr Kim gives a very thorough acupuncture treatment, with needles and then with suctions cups, followed by a massage with a flat surfaced machine. If after all that you still have pain he gives you an overnight disposable tiny pins in them areas. He really cares about his patients wellbeing, he is so gentle and greets you with a warm and welcoming smile. When I first went to Mr Kim for acupuncture I was in absolute agony with a very severe pain from a disk out in my lower back, which was pinching my sciatica nerve and sending pain right through my left hip, down the outside of my left leg to the top of my foot!!😩 I could not stand, sit or lie down and I was walking with a limp. I am going to Mr Kim now for 6 weeks, 2 to 3 visits a week and I can say that I am 75% better. Thank you Mr Kim, I am forever grateful for you and your tremendous acupuncture.

  • I went to Raphael Kim for left neck and left foot pain. I arrived 10 minutes early, but he immediately saw me. He took his time to listen to all my symptoms, asked many questions and was very thorough. He then explained the treatments step by step, making sure all my questions were answered and I didn’t feel nervous. After over a 45 minute treatment,(acupuncture, cupping, heat and massage) I came out feeling better and in less pain. He is very gentle and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Body, Spirit Acupuncture and Dr. Kim! Next time, I will see him for my insomnia issues!

  • I've been on the hunt for a reputable acupuncture clinic in Manhattan, and I'm thrilled to have discovered this place. I visited to address my persistent shoulder pain, and Dr. Kim's treatment has been remarkably effective. After just one session, my pain has significantly reduced, and I'm definitely planning to return for more treatments!

  • After over a year of treatment for long-term injuries (neck, lower back, and hip) due to a car accident, I can tell you that acupuncture has improved my quality of life tremendously. More specifically, what keeps me coming back is the time, attention, and care I am provided by Dr. Kim. He takes his time and not only listens to your concerns, makes recommendations, and explains what he is doing and why but also has a gentle touch, pays attention to your movements as you come into the space, and answers each question you have. I could not have asked for better!!

  • I've had a fantastic experience with Dr. Kim. For a long I've been suffering with terrible knee pains and overall soreness, so my friend recommended visiting Body Spirit for acupuncture treatment. Even with her high praise, I haven't really had much experience with acupuncture in the past. Man was I proved wrong, even after one treatment I noticed a huge difference. I highly recommend acupuncture, especially treatment from Dr. Kim because his bedside manner, professionalism, and knowledge were honestly unmatched. Will definitely be coming back!!

  • Acupuncture with Dr. Kim has greatly reduced the pain that I was experiencing in my hip and back. He is responsive, gentle, and fully present with his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Kim.

  • Very detailed questions and listened closely. The bedside manner was fabulous and consistently checked on comfort level. While this wasn't my first time with acupuncture it has by far been one of my most effective. It has now been over a month of treatments and I have seen improvements in my mobility and pain. You just have to be consistent but there will be absolutely no regrets!
