Dr Kim helped me overcome a terribly painful disc issue with sciatic pain. He is thorough and methodical, empathetic, and gentle. He goes a step above your typical chiropractor, combining adjustments with ART and at-home exercises to get you back up and running. His front office staff is kind and professional. I highly recommend him and his practice.

I am an active 76 year old female. About a year ago on vacation I had a severe sciatica flare up. I saw several doctors and chiropractors for about six months to try and relieve the pain. Nothing was helping me I could hardly walk and had to give up all my walking, exercising and pool workouts. My grandson who is a ART chiropractor and lives quite a distance from me recommended Dr Kim. I made an appointment and have never looked back. Within two visits I was already feeling less pain. I continued the visits and I was pain free within a month. I continue to go once a month for maintenance as at my age I have other issues that he has been able to help me with. I am walking every day and exercising with no pain. I highly recommend Dr Kim he listens to every detail you give him and is very professional. I drive an hour and twenty minutes to get to his office. He is so totally worth it and so am I. Life is good.

I have had the pleasure of being treated by Dr Kim at Performance Chiropractic & Sports Care over the last ten years for several issues. I can confidently say that he is an exceptional chiropractor and his expertise in providing Active Release Technique (ART) is truly remarkable. I recently had severe hip pain and within 3 days and 2 appointments my pain went from a 12 (on a scale of 1-10) to zero by the end of my second visit. Dr Kim's knowledge and understanding of the human body are evident in his approach. He takes the time to thoroughly assess the underlying causes of my pain and discomfort, and he explains his findings and recommended treatment plan in a clear and concise manner. What sets Dr Kim apart is his ability to consistently deliver results. Whether its a nagging back pain, or knee pain or a specific issue affecting my performance on the golf course, Dr Kim's ART treatments have ALWAYS succeeded in getting me out of pain and back to my active lifestyle. Dr Kim's genuine care for his patients is evident in his personalized approach and attention to detail. Simply put, Dr Kim is truly a miracle worker and is the best in the business.

Dr. Kim is a hidden gem. I was trying anything and everything to relieve knee pain due to a broken leg years prior. He was recommended by a few friends who have been his patients for many years. I was working for the Fire Dept. and a few years from retirement when I first visited Dr. Kim. I needed to be able to continue to perform at a high fitness level for work and ART therapy was the ticket! I still see Dr. Kim for maintenance visits and it allows me to continue to maintain a high fitness level relatively pain free. Give him a try if you are having pain or chronic issues.

I had always been active and recovered from previous sport related falls/injuries fairly easily. But, 3 years after an accident (not sport related) damaged my ankle and knee (on differing legs), hip, low and mid-back, and one shoulder, I was still struggling to recover and return to normal. I saw a trainer to get help with my inability to strengthen my legs. At the end of the session, she suggested finding someone who could do myofascial release to see if it would help. At that point, I had: dysfunctional hips, a very tight torso with limited rotation/flexion which spasmed with nominal movement; an inability to strengthen the posterior chain in one leg; tight shoulders, and chronic pain. After an online search, Dr. Kim's website came up. I'd never heard of Active Release Technique (ART) but after reading a bit was willing to give it shot. On my first visit, I told Dr. Kim that I'm not a fan of chiropractors after a miserable experience years earlier, but that I was interested in trying ART. While he was taken aback, he didn't throw me out. He listened as I explained the accident and how my body was feeling. He suggested dealing with the most painful/uncomfortable areas first and seeing how things progress. After a month (2 visits/week), while my low & mid back/torso were still tight, the pain was not nearly as intense and the spasms with movement had diminished significantly. After an additional four months (1 visit/week), I was working with a physical therapy group Dr. Kim recommended - torso rotation/flexion was near normal, gaining strength in both legs, doing core work without instant spasms, and the pain was significantly diminished. Slowly, but steady, my legs and core are getting stronger and more stable; and pain is no longer constant. While COVID interrupted things, I continue to see Dr. Kim for "tune-ups," not because I have to, but choose to. I have no doubt that I could not have regained my physical strength and flexibility were it not for Dr. Kim and his skills as a chiropractor and ART practitioner.
