About Dr. Sook Chung
Acupuncturist, AP, LAC, NCCAOM, DOM, PhD
I was born in South Korea in a small mountain village. All my life, I have seen the wonders natural herbal medicine can do for patients. I decided when I was very young to help as many people as possible
through acupuncture and herbal medicine the way my ancestors have done for over 5000 years.
I am very grateful that I've had the opportunity to help thousands of patients over the last 30 years by successful traditional chinese medicine, acupuncture, MOXA, and cupping.
In Korea, I studied acupuncture and chinese medicine at some of the best universties.
