Great experience! Dr. Park and Dr. Choi have helped me improve my overall health with acupuncture and herbal teas.

My experience with TY Wellness has been excellent. My first visit I didnt know what to expect - the people at TY made me feel beyond welcomed and comfortable. The whole process is caring and intentional. I initially went in for my skin breakouts. After a glance at my tongue they were able to pinpoint that I was beyond tense and stressed from my life and that my digestion was poor, and that it was the root of the issue. They take extra care to make sure you are comfortable during the process. Literally the BEST naps Ive ever taken are while they leave me to relax in the room. If youre on the fence about acupuncture please just GO.

My son has eczema since he was born and it flares up time to time.He wasnt never diagnosed properly and got prescribed prednisone lotion and antihistamine to calm it down.He couldnt sleep well, and it was so miserable to see my babys suffering.We searched and searched..then found TY Wellness.We had very thorough initial consultation and was recommended to take herbal medicine along with controlling certain foods.Hes 2 years old and we worried if he could take bitter herbal medicine.Initially, it was a quite of work to let him take herbs, but thankfully, he was able to manage to take it by himself!After 3 weeks, his skin got cleared all! No itchy, blotchy skin and no more crying at night.We are really grateful to TY Wellness.

I’ve been to TY Wellness for many years and now get acupuncture treatment as nessary.Initially, I met TY team for skin issues. I have sensitive skin and had hives. Hives made me crazy and couldn’t control with allergy medicine. Always felt tired and tired.I felt really tired to have this in my life and wanted to try something new to get rid of this condition.That was my first time start with TY Wellness, and I got my life back without a fear of breakouts!As other reviews here, I was told to enhance internal conditions.Herbal medicine and acupuncture worked wonders with me, and I’m spreading the words to everyone I know. My cousin came to TY Wellness after me and he was treated for Shingles.I’m so happy to review my positive experience and hope other suffering people get help.

I love this place. They were lifesavers! After two months of not sleeping, I went to T.Y. and after just looking at me, they were able to diagnose my issues and cure my insomnia in weeks. More specifically:- Less Anxiety/Stress, Feel more calm, Better Mood- Significantly less stomach aches- Better digestion/Less Bloating- Better Energy- Better Circulation

I went to Dr. Choi in order to alleviate my allergies. He pointed out that I was also having digestive issues, which I was and had not mentioned. After 6 treatments, I have no more allergy symptoms ( I had year round allergies, not seasonal) and my digestion improved. As a result of feeling healthier, my skin on my face started to look clearer and healthier as well. I am a big believer now and definitely prefer this over taking pills every day.

I found T.Y. Wellness Center on Yelp as a top-rated provided of acupuncture. After dealing with stress-related back pain, I was in need of help and didnt want to turn to pills. As its DTLA, it is close to my office, so I walk over for my appointments.The doctors are super friendly and ask questions to get to the bottom of my issues. Since starting the treatments several months ago, my back pain is gone and I feel so relaxed and calm after each session.I look forward to my treatments and would recommend this to anyone dealing with stress and back pain. T.Y. Wellness Center is GREAT!

TY Wellness Center is a very special place. I have had eczema since I was little on and off, usually I was able to place it back in remission after a few months of diet changes and acupuncture. However moving to LA and also having an IUD placed in Ive had one of my most stubborn flare ups thats lasted longer and spread faster than in the past, I came to TY Wellness after research wanting to find a place that specialized in skin issues using methods that would treat the source cause rather than just the symptoms.They have been great partners in my healing journey over the past few months. One of the best advice they gave me after monitoring my progress over a few months was to get off of my hormonal birth control. Since then with the diet plan, acupunture, and herbal medicine Ive seen real healing of my skin. I learned a lot about my body during this time, and feel more in-touch w my menstural cycles and moods since coming here too which is a good side benefit. When I came to them my eczema had spread from my neck to both arms, my sides, chest, hips, lower back and thighs; now a lot of my patches are in remission or in much less inflamed stages. It is still a journey but it feels a lot less lonely and isolating (bc I understand how eczema effects self esteem sometimes) having people who are really understanding and well versed in treating the condition. Looking forward to seeing more progress as I continue with them. They are very thorough, and spend time getting to know your specific condition and track your progress carefully and check on you throughout which I find really special and different to other practices. I recommend their practice as an investment to your overall health. Am grateful their practice is here in LA!

I recommend Highly, amazing people and great at what they do. Could barely move my neck when I went in, an hour later had amazing mobility. Took me in on no notice due to my pain. They care and are real folks. Could not be happier.

My first time receiving Acupuncture was an awesome experience. It took away the pain for arthritis and now I am receiving for weight loss, the weight is going down. I lost 10 lbs in a month throughout 4 treatments. My energy has been better and my sleep was better at night, I want to continue to receive the treatments.The Doctors are very caring, patient and Knowledgeable. I think Chinese medicine is very safe and natural without side effect.

I am endlessly grateful to T.Y Wellness Center care and patience. T.Y Wellness addresses your condition based on a holistic perspective. I called in explaining that I had severe eczema, with skin infections on my ears and they generously accommodated me within the week even though you usually need to make an appointment months in advance. Cortisone and other treatments only treat the outside and lower my immune system but they explained my condition needs to be treated internally while also managing my emotional stress. I had just come off of prednisone (a strong immune- suppressant) and they explained that my body was trying to recover back to normal. I was prescribed to drink herbal medicine while on a bland diet and within a month my symptoms had calmed down significantly. After 2 months I stopped the herbal medicine and slowly afterwards I have become much better. Maintaining stress levels, diet, and sleep are important and they patiently met with me and walked me through the process. Endlessly grateful!

I work as a professional athlete and movement artist in L.A. and had been struggling with an old shoulder injury that was causing severe pain in my chest and bicep. I went from stabbing pain that prevented mobility in simple household activities to pain free and practicing martial arts in 48 hours after Dr. Chois acupuncture treatment. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

At T.Y. Wellness Center, the doctors sure on push their own limits inhelping patients to recover. Anything you need or would like to betreated they can provide the medicine and treatments that help torelieve or cure pain. In my condition, for years as a child I held onhaving Eczema that later developed onto Hormone Dermatitis (somethingI did not know I had till I discovered it with them), I had doctorscome and go in treating me, but never did they cure me on what Iactually had. Finally, I came upon the doctors at T.Y Wellness Center,and I am proud to say that they have cured my skin condition and aswell have helped to keep my health at its best. I sure on appreciateeverything they have and continue to do for me. I would recommendanyone in look for a doctor he sure on keeps their promise in curingyou, then to come and go to them. You wont regret it.

I have struggled with eczema for over a year now and its gotten progressively worse. I was at my wits end with steriod cream and had heard from a friend that acupuncture was the only thing that ever cured her eczema. I found TY Wellness just by doing a google search. They had the best reviews and testimonials on their website.Ive been doing the treatment for almost two weeks now and am confident that it is working. My overall stress level about my eczema has improved. Since I had been using topical steroids every day for over a year, I was told it could get worse before it gets better which in some respects it has but like I said, I am confident that I am getting consistently better.An interesting by-product of my acupuncture treatment is that my chronic teeth-grinding and clenching has stopped. Ive been dealing with TMJ for many years now and wasnt expecting it to get better with the acupuncture but it has.TY Wellness is truly a blessing and I highly recommend them to anyone who is struggling with eczema. Alex and Dr. Choi are very helpful, informative and kind. I feel safe and secure when I go for a visit there and I always leave better than I came in.

I started seeing the Doctors at TY wellness center earlier this year because of my acne/immune system and the doctors here have changed my life. I have been suffering from acne for as long as i can remember and it flares up especially when im really stressed out which was something i could not avoid this year. Also due to my stressful schedule i have been sick very often due to the lack of sleep. Unlike most specialists that i have seen for acne, Dr. Choi began treating my acne problem holistically. I was expecting peels and creams but he did a head to toe evaluation on me and pointed things out that no one else has noticed. He put me on a diet according to my body type and directly started treating my gut and my bad circulation with herbal tea and acupuncture once a week. He told me if i treat my gut and my bad circulation, my body will do the rest to clear up my acne and manage my immune system. I am no longer on the herbal tea and now only take acupuncture once every 2 weeks. Long story short, my skin has never been clearer, and i have not gotten sick ever since coming to TY Wellness center. I have full trust in the Doctors here and i never once felt like they were after my money. Ive even recommended Dr. Choi to my friends and they have had the same results.

The doctors at T.Y. Wellness Center took great care of me when I fell ill after weeks of being overworked at my job. They went over and beyond what I had asked to be treated for by helping me with my bloating and acne problems as well without charging me extra for their care. I highly recommend them!Also, they are very conveniently close to my job in downtown L.A. so I usually go there during my lunch break and come back to work feeling energized and relaxed at the same time.Thank you T.Y. Wellness Center team!!!-Barbara

Hi you guys, I hope this review helps other souls to get better.Everything started in by the end of January 2016 when I decided to visit TY wellness I was feel so insecure about my face. I had eczema, TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal), RSS (Red Skin Syndrome) on my face for more than 5 years. It was itching, redness, burning, tightness and dry. I was using topical steroids but it was not helping much. Instead, it was making my skin worse was after I stopped using. I did not know that topical steroid cream not only affects bad on your skin but also affect your internal system. I regretted so much that I have been wearing too much make ups which also affected my skin. Dr. Choi helped me to find out that my problem was from internal. My digestion was not well, lots of anxiety, stress and sleeping problem. Also I had too much heat.At first, I was a little bit scared and I didnt know what to expect. I really appreciated that Dr.Choi and the team made me feel so secure.Because of complicated condition with Eczema, Topical Steroid Withdrawal and Red Skin Syndrome, Dr. Choi told me that the treatment can be limited. But I decided to try out and Dr. Choi said it could be a long process but I took the chance. All I wanted to be is that I get better. I controlled my diet and followed herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment.Now Im so happy with my new skin after herbal medicine and acupuncture. I feel like a new person. I feel more relaxed, healthy and my skin glows really pretty. Even after finishing the treatment, the redness, itching, burning, tightness and dry completely gone away.Now I can do my daily routines like going to the gym and hang out with friends without worrying about my skin. The most important thing if you guys would like to see a change need to follow the instructions.The acupuncture and the herbal medicine change my life forever. Besides that they help giving me a nice skin also the diet that I will follow for rest of my life. I am so happy that I dont suffer any more itching, hot face, burning sensation, dry, tightness and oily skin.Thank you Dr. Choi and TY Wellness. You are the best Doctor that I have ever met!!

For 10 years (maybe more) I’ve struggled with cystic acne and major breakouts.. to the point where it was starting to take over my social life and self esteem. I’ve tried everything from acne skincare products, acne facials, lasers, antibiotics, birth control, etc and still had no success. Finally now that I’m almost 30, I was starting to give up thinking I will live with acne forever, until my sister told me about acupuncture. At first, I was skeptical of it and wondered how a bunch of needles will clear my skin.. BUT, surprisingly, after 2 weeks of treatment, my skin is clearing up!! My cystic acne is gone, and even the the redness and inflammation has gone down tremendously. Along with my acupuncture treatments, Dr. Choi also gave me some Chinese herbal medicine that I’m supposed to be drinking 3 times a day. He also recommends to change a few things in my diet and lifestyle (cutting down coffee and sugar etc) and I believe that all of these factors is what is helping me clear my skin. Not only that, the acupuncture treatments have given me a lot of energy, better digestion, and helps me sleep well at night, which I think all helps with my overall health, and my skin is a reflection of my health. I wish I knew about this years ago!!! PS, Dr. Choi and his PA, Alex, have made this experience even better with their words of encouragement, friendly and positive attitude, and great customer service! Thank you Dr. Choi and Alex!!

My family, including myself, have been to T.Y.Wellness since 2012. They’re our wellness center for various reasons and cares.I went there for a wrist pain, which hadn’t been helped much from other cares and turned it to chronic condition, but acupuncture worked very well. I’m scaring of needles, it took a while to convince me to get acupuncture treatments, but ended up I regret that I didn’t do it at first. Now, it has been for a few years, but I’m free from pain and very happy for that.My kids have been getting treatment for internal conditions.My elder daughter had been suffered rhinitis and urticaria. We were advised they are from the same route and had to be addressed at the same time. She had used tons of moisturizers, and used to take anti-histamine&steroids when it was flared up.Her current condition is much stabilized for allergy and doesn’t have skin issue at all! Plus, without itchy no se and skin, she can focus on what she’s doing and enjoy.My little girl used to be very weak and didn’t have appetites. She only liked to eat fruits and every meal was a hard work. Once, she had an ankle pain came with bruise. PCP thought sprained her ankle then referred her to orthopedic. But it was purpura. She was prescribed steroids, but we wanted to treat her from root cause. Went to T.Y.Wellness and told it’s from indigestion and low immune system. After the treatment course, she has eaten better and purpura disappeared very quickly.We’re really happy found T.Y.Wellness and can’t thank enough them to help us for overall condition. We’ll keep going to T.Y.Wellness for our optimal health condition.

Thanks to Dr. Choi Dr. Park and Alex for the great service and experience I remember when I first started my treatment I had tried everything for the pain in my shoulder and whole arm from doing repetitive motion at work I had my pain for at least 10 years and nothing help with the acupuncture treatment I got rid of the pain, migraine headaches and best of all I am loosing weight and not just weight but fat with the combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine is a great experience they also work with your western medicine doctor their knowledge is excellent and they truly sincerely care about their patients.my husband is also in treatment for back pain ankle pain heel pain for walking and standing at work so much and now he is great and also doing the weight lost treatment. I sincerely recommend T.Y. Wellnesssincerely Susana and Felipe Gutierrez

I dont like going to the doctor for issues with pain since they usually just tell you to take advil/tylenol. So I came here initially my neck has seized up, throbbing with pain and I didnt have full range of motion. A few visits later, I was good as new. Basically anytime I have concerns, theyre my first phone call.

I was referred to Dr.Choi after having seen several dermatologist through the UCLA medical group. I was repeatedly given steroids from head to toe for my eczema. I had eczema as a child, which due to stress and poor awareness managed to worsen as I got older. It wasnt until the eczema started constantly burning, drying, peeling over and over again. The burning was on my body, but the most painful on my face. There would be days where I would need to sit with ice packs on my face just to get through the burning. The area affected on my face was everywhere but my nose, which I thought was really odd. By this time I was swimming in steroids - oil, orals, creams, all of it. After months of dermatologist and going on a wild goose chase trying to figure out what was happening to my skin, I was convinced this was no longer eczema. I was convinced I was allergic to LA air, the water, the dust, you name it, because I just couldnt get it under control. Eventually I decided to try out Dr. Choi and seek out advice from someone else outside of western medicine. I was my first visit when Dr.Choi brought to my attention my Topical Steroid Addiction. I was shocked and immediately tried to understand. I was no longer dealing with eczema, but now the repercussions of the medicines that were given to help treat it. This is when I continued to see Dr.Choi for several weeks after. Following his guidance to address the gut, seek acupuncture with him, and quit steroids completely. Quitting steroids forced my skin to withdraw, meaning constantly shedding away the toxicity I had build up going in these cycles of more burn, dry, peel, but this time it was reaching the healthier skin that was being suppressed via the steroids. It took me at least 9 months of withdrawal symptoms to finally feel comfortable again. My face is 90% healed with one stubborn patch between my eyes from heavy steroid use in that area. I also ended up getting cataracts in both eyes from the steroid use. It was a long 9 month process that I wouldnt want anyone to experience, but in the end it was so worth no longer being dependent on medication. I thank Dr.Choi and his team for his patience and making me aware of what was really happening to me after the many derms that told me otherwise. I have been steroid free since Sept 2014 and never going back. I unfortunately have also developed a skepticism to western medicine in general and also try to address an issue naturally before medicating. Thank you again, Dr.Choi for helping freeing me of eczema after all these years of suffering.

I had a very bad pain in the lower back and in the shoulder and now the pain is gone after just one or two visits, also I had a chronic skin irritation and not even steroids helped but after only a couple of sessions it was completely gone. Also, I had stomach issues (bloating, heart burn etc) and that was treated too! Strongly recommend !!!!!!!

Coming to TY Wellness has had an amazing impact on my overall health. Since late 2016 Ive been dealing with a host of gastrointestinal issues (heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux, abdominal pains, etc) which my GP prescribed a PPI for. By late summer earlier this year I had still not seen any improvement in my stomachs condition -- everytime I missed a dose, all of my symptoms would return! Reading online, I found that many people who begin to take PPIs for these type of conditions (ulcers, gastritis, GERD, etc.) oftentimes never come off those medications and end up taking them for years which increases the risk of a host of other health issues. At the time I was nearing a whole year on the medication, so I decided to find a more holistic way to treat my symptoms so that I wouldnt have to rely on medication for the rest of my life. When I came into TY Wellness I knew right away that I had made the right choice. Doctor Choi could tell immediately just by looking at me that Ive had digestive issues for most of my life. After my first appointment we agreed on my treatment plan which included a detailed dietary restriction list, to aid my healing process, on top of once weekly acupuncture sessions. During the first session he also told me that I may not see any noticeable difference in my situation because I was still on the PPI medication. It wasnt until two weeks ago when I saw my GP that I was able to finally stop taking the medication and realize just how much acupuncture has helped heal my gut! Its been at least a week since Ive last taken any medication and I feel great! Not only are my digestive issues resolved, but Doctor Choi also addressed some of my other ailments such as migraines, lightheadedness, and chronic numbness in my toe! Overall I am extremely happy with the treatment I received from Doctor Choi & his associates. Not only are my health concerns gone, but acupuncture has also gotten rid of my muscle stiffness and has helped me feel immensely more calm & relaxed in general!

So I suffered from eczema and horrible itching for as long as I can remember. Ive been using topical steriod creams from famous dermatologists in California for 4 years and my condition would be fine for a few weeks but then it will come back in full revenge. I was going through topical steroid cream withdrawal where my condition will come back worse and then spread after the prolong use of the topical cream, then stopping. The last straw was when I developed perioral dermititis. I experienced oozing, redness, dryness, and the fact it was on my face made me super depressed and insecured. I found TY Wellness, through a blog from someone who has severe dermititis. I was willing to try anything at this point and I never tried Eastern medicine before. However after trying their customized herbal treatment, within a week my condition has healed rapidly. Honestly, I never went back to steriod creams anymore. I no longer feel as itchy, the dryness and oozing were completely gone, and I feel so happy about it! TY staff are very kind and they sit with you and try to discuss about your condition. I feel they are very genuine in what they do and they have helped me a lot fight this condition with me. I havent tried acupuncture but their herbal medicine is supposed to strengthen your immune system and they give you specific instructions to follow on your own on how to heal your condition from within your body. Like staying away from the sun and avoiding certain foods. Their approach is to help undo the damage of chemicals and steroids from Western medication. I actually found myself living a healthier lifestyle and I honestly will never go back to any of my dermatologists again. For the first time in my life I feel I am finally free from my eczema and dermititis.

Im so happy to have found this place. Dr. Choi and his team gave me hope on getting my skin back to normal and being able to better control my eczema flare-ups.Ive been suffering mild eczema all my life, but it became worse when I moved to Los Angeles. I went through several dermatologists, and they all recommended steroids but never told me the side effects. Five years later, my condition actually worsened. It came to a point where I would use the steroids for two weeks, have awesome skin for a week, and then it was back to more flare-ups and more steroid usage. It was a vicious cycle, and I was absolutely miserable.I randomly stumbled upon TY Wellnesss yelp page, and the 5 star rating seemed waaay too good to be true. I figured, Well, steroids isnt helping... what did I have to lose on trying TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) and acupuncture? All I can say is, I wish I went to Dr. Choi sooner!After just one month of weekly acupuncture and no steroids (threw those in the trash right away!), my skin improved drastically! I didnt expect to see results THAT fast, and it improved a LOT faster than I thought it would. My skin is progressively becoming softer and brighter (which I didnt expect but was so happy to see!) and less itchy. Even my sinuses cleared up! I used to sneeze a lot and have a stuffy nose, but now I can breathe through my nose! To help speed up going through TSW (topical steroid withdrawal), I also did two weeks worth of herbal medicine (in which I learned diet also helps to control and lessen eczema flare-ups). I have a lot of food allergies, so it was great to know that its not just a general kind of herbal medicine, but they have them made specifically for each person based on her condition.Overall, this has been a wonderful experience. If you suffer with eczema like me, you know how hard and uncomfortable it is to show your skin. But with Dr. Choi and Dr. Hong, they created a safe environment. And that is really hard to find with a doctor. Right off the bat, you can see that they really care about their patients. I love that with every appointment, they really take their time with you; It never feels like Im being rushed out. Theyre always so patient in answering all of my questions and helping me to better understand my condition. I am now down to acupuncture every 2 weeks, and really, I cant complain. Acupuncture is so relaxing ^___^Every single day, my skin just keeps getting better and better. Im soooo happy with the progress of my skin, and Im so thankful to have Dr. Choi and Dr. Hong by my side throughout all of this ^___^

Such a greatness! You have to check it out. I cant believe it still. Nobody could takare of my skin disease which I had been suffered for over 12years. I suffered from an atopic disease. But NOT ANY MORE... This place is the only place where I can go to. It took just a couple weeks for the wounds to heal. :) Thank you T.Y Wellness!

I had itching/oozing skin on my hands and fingers for over 8 yrs. I was so desperate and miserable.Previously, I have gone to many well-known Dermatologists and some skilled Chinese medicine practitioners. Unfortunately, no one was able to tell me exactly what it was and how to treat. I was just told, oh, its just water in LA is bad or try detox program, which have never been helpful.When I finally found Dr. Choi, he was able to explain thoroughly of what was going on with my skin. I had 3 diagnosis.1. Hand/Finger Psoriasis (Pustular Arthritic Psoriasis): Even though there was no deformity on joint yet, I had pus near my finger joint region.2. Hand Eczema (palms)3. Topical Steroids Withdrawal. I didnt know the multiple OTC anti-itching creams I was using would cause this serious consequences.For those whos reading my review, please be cautious to use any anti-itching creams; as they have many different names for steroids. I have suffered for 7-8 years, without knowing what I had. Having skin condition as a meds student was big challenge for me everyday. My hand was painful, oozing, and itching. Sometimes it was even difficult to use scissors because it was so painful. At some times, I was even thinking about amputating my fingers. I tried to eat healthier and exercise but nothing worked out. My skin was just gradually getting worse. Every night, I wished it would be better next morning. Praying was only thing I could do, but looking at my skin every morning was just breaking me down. Now I look back, I could see myself always being depressed. Im pretty sure many people suffering from skin condition would try to find better solution searching all night long in front of computer even knowing there wouldnt be perfect answer. Being able to seeing by Dr.Choi was life changing experience for me. Dr.Choi evaluated my condition not only externally but also internally. There was problem with my diet, digestion, immune system, emotions and my lifestyle. I have learned when the skin flares up, I would have more chance to be affected by environmental factors. So I stayed as simple as I could for my lotions, soaps and shampoo which did not cause any skin reaction. Dr. Choi pointed my digestive issue, sleeping issue, mood issue and it was very comprehensive. Due to my chronic psoriasis condition, I have also developed unknown pains on my neck and sole, Dr.Choi and Dr. Park treated me with an Acupuncture treatment.As the treatment started, I noticed my symptoms were getting better in about a week and I started to see new skin coming out. It took me about 3 month for completion of my treatment. Dr. Choi stopped me from taking herbal medicine as my condition became stable and he wanted to monitor without treatment as my body recognized with self healing. Dr.Choi monitored and made sure that I dont have recurring flare up. Every visit with Dr. Choi, he would always exam carefully and gave me proper advice. There were times I wanted to give up treatment, but Dr.Choi never give up on me because he said I am still young and still have a bright future in front of me. Dr. Choi, Dr. Park, and Dr. Alex not only treat your health problem but also support you to stay strong.As my skin healed completely my became so easy. I would like to sincerely appreciate TY Wellness for life changing experience and treated me for incurable disease. Also I wish to deliver hopes and dreams to all the future skin problem suffering patients. Read less

Acupuncture & herbal medicine with Dr Choi have completely transformed my health - and my life. Im very grateful to have been referred to Dr. Choi by a close friend. I first came to TY Wellness after a cold triggered a long and drawn out sinus reaction that lasted for two months. I came to the office with a congestion that made me unable to breath through my nose and blood pressure out the roof. After just one treatment, I left the office able to breath again and my blood pressure normalized. Dr Choi and his team, Alex & JaeYi, have also shown me so much care and compassion that I knew that I was at the right place. I had good experiences at doctors, but their level of genuine care is completely unparalleled - its TLC at its best.To treat the root of my congestion, Dr. Choi prescribed herbal medicine. Chinese medicine treats patients using a different approach, and is able to address the root of a lot of ailments, such as allergies, skin problems, hormonal imbalances, which often have a common cause in digestive issues, stress and overuse of antibiotics, steroids, and other non-holistic treatments (which suppress the issues but doesnt treat the cause of the problem). As a child, I was prescribed antibiotics way too much and I also ate a lot of preserved & processed food, which did a lot of damage to my digestive system. As an adult, I invested a lot in finding ways to heal, and started eating healthy, taking probiotics, but some of the problems persisted.As I learned from Dr Choi, not all health foods are meant for everyone. Im a healthy eater, but I was eating a lot of ginger and spicy food, which apparently aggravated my problems. So I had to redesign my diet based on his recommendation, which started making a real difference.A few months later, I was going through an emotionally very stressful period, and ended up with a contact dermatitis on my scalp - and lost my hair in a big patch. It was devastating, I thought Id have to live with a bald spot. My skin was itchy, scaly and irritated all the time.I went to my primary care doctor who prescribed me topical and internal steroids - but I remembered all the reviews of patients here who had no results with steroids, so I didnt take it. I went back to Dr Chois office and started another round of herbal medicine combined with a weekly acupuncture treatment. I lost some weight, and started healing not only my skin but also my digestive system. I have more energy now and my scalp is almost restored completely. My friends say I also look younger.To heal the years of damage caused by wrong diet/medicine/stress takes a lot of patience and care, but its worth all the effort - and you are in the best hands with Dr Choi.I cannot say enough great things about TY Wellness. I love coming here, Its a place to truly heal (not just getting treated) with a team who truly care about you and invested in you restoring your health/balance. I cannot recommend him and his team enough. Thank you TY Wellness, you changed my life!

Ive always wanted to try Acupuncture because I heard how its supposed to cure lots of pain and aches and never thought it to be true until T.Y. Wellness Center. I live one block away from them and when I went into their office for the first time in the Summer of 2012, I told them that I head headaches, muscle tension, neck, upper back pain, and TMJ. There was a lot of things wrong with me. Right after the first treatment, my headaches went away! Yes! Gone! That was really important to me because I write and there were many times when I would have to stop writing because of my headaches. And my TMJ is a different story. The dentist told me that I would have to probably get surgery and do this and do that to get rid of the pain which prevented me from drinking and eating certain foods. But after T.Y. Wellness Center, I could drink and eat without the pain I got from chewing. It was such an amazing feeling after getting acupuncture--I felt energized and relaxed. The herbal treatments they give also help and give you such a positive state of being. I highly recommend T.Y. Wellness Center if you have pain, aches, TMJ, and headaches. So thankful I found them.-Jorge

I had been suffering from several persistent eczema rashes on my legs and arms that would not go away for over a year even after multiple visits to various doctors and dermatologists. The prescription strength steroid cream which I was using on and off for about 6 months only helped the condition for a little while before it got much worse. I had also tried many different types of lotion, creams, ointment, honey, oil, etc. but nothing seemed to work. A few months ago I started getting rashes on my chest area as well and the itching was waking me up at night. Finally I decided to seek alternative Eastern medicine as I’ve learned from my research that it is often much more effective than western medicine for the cure of chronic diseases. On my first visit to T.Y. Wellness, Dr. Choi spent almost an hour assessing my skin conditions, life style, history, etc. to determine the root cause of the disease, and also that I actually had psoriasis in addition to eczema. After 3 months of herbal medicine and acupuncture treatments, not only did the rashes heal completely, the psoriasis on my scalp and inside my ears which I had been suffering from since childhood was miraculously gone also.Dr. Choi is truly an expert in herbal medicine and skin conditions. He worked at a prestigious clinic in Beijing for over 10 years before moving to the U.S. All the doctors at T.Y. Wellness are very professional, experienced, and most importantly they truly care about the patients’ health.

One day when my husband and I went for a walk, we found out that an acupuncture center was moving into our neighborhood a block away. So we stopped by say hello and met with Dr. Min Choi & Dr. Alex Hong. They made a very good impression. They were very friendly and professional and we walked out with a sense of assurance that if we ever need some wellness help, we would go back to them.A few weeks later, when I woke up with a severe neck & shoulder pain I went to TY Wellness Center for the first time for treatment. I hadnt told them about all the other issues I had (IBS, SCiatica) but Dr. Choi was able to diagnose during the preliminary check up. They did a full diagnosis and worked out a treatment plan with me.Im an architecture student in my final years of study so I have a very high stress lifestyle at the moment.Dr. Choi, Dr. Alex & Dr. Park not only took care of my back & neck issues but also helped me with my IBS. They are very genuine with their care and I felt that they really wanted me to fully recover. They also coached me to have a better lifestyle by improving sleep patterns, eating habits so my stomach condition would improve and how to handle stress better. I have more energy throughout the day and Im a much happier person as a result.Its rare to find a place where everyone in the staff cares so much about their patients.They completely took care of me. I am so grateful to them for helping me out.

If you are looking for an accupuncturist, then this is the place! I finally went in to check out what accupuncture can do for chronic back problem, after years of treatment at the chiropractor, physical therapist, and pain meds. Since December 2012, chronic back pain is no longer an issue! I believe it is not only the accupuncture treatment that was able to address the root of the problem, but also Dr. Choi and Dr. Hongs professionalism, experience, skill, and expertise, and desire to help, reassure, and restore health to their patients. I am truly thankful that they are located at the heart of downtown LA, so close to work and so convenient and accesible. Check them out!
