Suchin Kang, Lac

Suchin is amazing. It’s that simple.
I have been a member of the lower back pain club for several years and, prior to meeting Suchin, I had seen my share of doctors, specialists, surgical procedures, physical therapists, and, of course, the inevitable oxycodone/​percocet.
Happily, that is all behind me now — thanks to Suchin and her considerable talents in the application of acupuncture treatment.
Not only has she provided me with considerable relief from my back pain, but I actually look forward to the social aspect of our bi-​weekly «maintenance sessions». This lady is an absolute gem.

I have been seeing Suchin regularly for over a year now for various issues. She helped relieve my shoulder pain, back pain, heartburn, and other discomforts. We then started working on issues with my menstruation and possible fertility because I had been trying to get pregnant for 5 months. I saw dramatic improvements in my periods and… I got pregnant! I am now looking forward to Suchin helping me in the healthy development of my baby! Other than her expertise, Suchin is sensitive, trusting, and caring. She has been a joy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone!!! Thanks Suchin!

Suchin was a vital part of me being able to quit smoking!
Acupuncture was a big part of my quit plan, which also included breath-​controlled meditation and the patch. Moved to gum and lozenges, switching from one to the other but gave all that up within the first 2 weeks.
After 42 years of smoking and many failed attempts to quit I just celebrated ONE YEAR not smoking.
Thanks Suchin!!!

Suchin is amazing. Major shoulder impingement issues, and she was able relieve intense pain that was waking me in the middle of the night. She’s very gentle and knowledgeable. Knows her stuff. Highly recommended.

I have been seeing Suchin for about 6 months now and she is really terrific. She’s an incredible listener (which is pivotal for correct diagnosis!) and her office is such an beautiful, soothing place. Every time I come in with something (a cold or lingering stomachache) she’s been able to knock it out completely, usually in just 1 session. I am now seeing her to keep in tip-​top shape to get pregnant and I can already feel general improvements in my health from the regular visits. Thanks for your kindness and expertise, Suchin!

I’m going to keep this review short and sweet. I love Suchin like Paula Dean loves butter! I’ve gone to her for a number of issues from stress management to back pain to digestive issues to the common cold. She’s always listened and has been affective. She’s sweet, kind, and makes you feel very comfortable. Everyone that I’ve recommended to her has been impressed and grateful to have found her also. I leave feeling amazing and peaceful! If I could go in everyday of the week I would!

I have gone to Suchin to help ease day-​to-​day stress without the use of pharmacuticals. She is very professional and provides excellent treatments in a relaxing setting. She also advised me on herbal supplements to help with stress and overall well being.
Her offie is centrally located with plenty of free parking. The converted Victorian house provides a cozy setting for the treatments. I will continue to go to her for my acupuncture needs.

I have been going to Suchin for almost 3 years now! I had never been to acupuncture before and I now I am a loyal customer and believer in the «good medicine». Suchin is a very attentive, professional and caring individual. She really works to help you be the best that you can be and will bring you into a new state of calmness in her tranquil and cozy treatment rooms. The photos posted are spot on — modern, welcoming and calming — just what you need to make you feel better!

I was dealing with serious stress, focus and digestive issues when it was suggested that I go and see Suchin for the first time as a patient. I’ve known her for a long time (outside of her practice) and felt like it was a wise move. She is so gentle with her questions about what is going on in your life while probing to figure out what is contributing to your health situation. Her experience working in acupuncture was apparent after my very first visit. She is very gentile when inserting the needles, only the really tender spots produced minor pinches when inserted. I was really surprised at how good I felt after the first time, and each session produced a little different end result. I looked forward to the «rest» time and really started to enjoy the meditation, music and healing that was going on during the treatment. The euphoric feeling during the treatment is something that I really like a lot. Sometimes you can really zone out and actually fall asleep — since treatments are around an hour long. When it is time to come back to reality, it feels like you’ve been on a zen vacation for a week. I had a lot going on with my life and health, so it took a little while for my body to stay on track — but with sessions, supporting herbs and some diet changes things turned positive relatively quick. The location is great, the large old house that the practice is in is really well maintained and clean. The décor is really simple, yet maintaining a very nice Eastern touch. I believe she accepts some insurance, but is affordable enough that you can pay cash for ongoing treatments. If you are looking for someone to help you turn your health around, she is the person to see.

After being chronically sick (a nasty flu, cough, cold cycle) for 3 months, a friend suggested that I try acupuncture and referred me to Suchin. I’ve now been a loyal patient for about 2 years.
I had always been intrigued by acupuncture but was hesitant to try it because: 1) I hate needles (like, major phobia), 2) its an added healthcare expense, and 3) I didn’t know where to start or who to go to. But after 3 months of being sick non-​stop and receiving absolutely NO healthcare guidance from my regular doctor, I was beyond frustrated with conventional Western medicine and was desperate to try anything that could boost my immunity and get me WELL again.
Not only did Suchin help strengthen my immune system and get me back on track, but she also continues to relieve me of monthly migraines, stress, sleeplessness and other issues (like jet lag and digestive problems from international travel). Suchin also recommended some Chinese herbs that help compliment the work we do during my treatments.
And as far as my original hesitations: 1) Needles? Suchin is extremely gentle and you can’t really feel them once they are all place… the only thing you do feel is relaxed! 2) Expense? It really comes down to what your health is worth to you. Invest in your wellbeing. The benefits I’ve received from going to acupuncture completely outweigh the cost. You don’t realize how «off» your system is until you get it back on the right track and feel like your best self again, which is how I feel after seeing Suchin. Plus, her pricing is quite competitive and she works with my insurance. 3) Where to start? Now you know where to go – to Suchin! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, takes a holistic approach and truly cares about your wellbeing. I can’t express how thankful I am to have found her… it’s been life changing, really. (I know, it sounds dramatic, but it’s true!)
Lastly, the office is in a great location, has a clean, simple, and modern design and is quite welcoming!

I feel so lucky to have found Suchin. I have relied on acupuncture for many years for stress relief, immune system help, and neck problems. When I moved to SD, it took me a long time to find an acupuncturist who made me feel comfortable and I felt was trustworthy.
Suchin fits the bill and then some. She is a wonderful healer and listener with a calming a positive presence. She is exceptionally attentive and caring.
I feel privileged to have her be a part of my life and health routine.

Suchin is a miracle worker. From the moment you step into her office a sense of calmness falls upon you putting you into a peaceful state. Suchin is very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. You are in very good hands. I have been seeing for over a year for various ailments from insomnia to headaches and relaxation. I always walk out of her office feeling renewed and reinvigorated. She is a very good listener, and she will really work with so that receive the best treatment. You owe it to yourself, go see Suchin!
I would like to add that I went to see Suchin during my pregnancy and she was very helpful in helping me to stay calm and healthy throughout the 9 months. She also helped to induce me and my delivery was very fast and as my body was ready. I highly recommend her!

I went to see Suchin when I was 27 weeks pregnant. I had been having issues for my entire pregnancy including spotting, excessive fatigue, aching joints and reoccurring head colds. Suchin listened to all of my symptoms and gave me a treatment that was both relaxing and rejuvenating. She has a very light and gentle touch that is confident and assuring.
I left feeling incredible and I did not get sick for the rest of the pregnancy. The spotting was gone in a week. I really feel like she ‘re-​set’ my system and made the remaining weeks of my pregnancy much more manageable.
Would highly recommend her services. Oh, parking was easy to find and both the neighborhood and her office are beautiful.
